Sketch-a-day 003

Fee fi fo fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman.

Something a bit less concept today, bit more fun.

Sketch-a-day 002

The second day of the sketch-a-day activity. 

So far so good, have not forgot. I consider this a good sign of things to come. 

So I jumped into painter again and painted out this guy. The word tesla popped into my head today when I woke up, mostly due to Fallout 3 bingeing from last week. That game, it's too good. But I can't help but associate Tesla technology to nazis. Mostly due to a videogame I used to play alot of, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, yeah I play too many. Plus, nazis always make for a fun illustration. Stopped on this one before I got too carried away with it. His name? Jocko Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenberger.

Sketch-a-day 001

So I decided to digitally paint today for a bit. So nice having a functioning tablet again that doesn't like to make squiggly lines for no reason.  

No relation in the sketches, just whatever I decided to pull off the top of my head. There were quite a few more, but all these were yellow based and looked nice together. Just overlapped the painter windows and nabbed a screenshot. None of them took more than 10-15 minutes. 

Been inspired by a teacher, and a few other people to do a sketch a day. Last year I lasted a month. Lets see how long I can keep this going. May not be updated everyday, but every few days in a single post. Count this as day one. 

 

A WIP check-up

So for final's week I did turn in my SOI contribution of the mob boss. Although, I'm not done yet. It's about sixty percent of the way there I would say. Still have a lot to do with the frames, general transitions/clean-up, color corrections, and his hands. Considering entirely repainting the hands. With reference this time, because up until this point I've ignored reference. I'm sure there are teachers somewhere scheming to have me off'd right now, just because of it. 

Thanks to my friend, Nathan Biroschek for the photo.

From a small competition between friends.

Through pure blind luck, me and a few friends got the chance to compete for a cover contest for Columbus Alive Magazine. Unfortunately, finals took their due on the image and it became a last minute thing due to simple deadline dates. Very rushed from beginning to end, with alot of things I would like to change... may just change them.

Concept was a contemporary twist on Santa. They threw some suggestions our way, and two of the three involved alcohol. I think all of our illustrations have beer in it somehow.

Final ComicBook Page

Just finished this up tonight. The second comic book page of my 13 wives story. Technically not the second page in the whole story, but for the class, it is the second page. It's annoying to me that I can't ink it. I really, really want to ink it. It would be so much easier to read without that visual noise. Lemme know what you think. Not a whole lot happens on this page, it's mainly just a intro page for this character.

The other page is in the mega-post, just a tiny bit down the page.

A Knight, His Soul, and Some Crazies.

Quick Edit: A speedie I did as a warm-up for today, before I get painting. Started it last night when I couldn't sleep, added highlights and a few more scribbles today.

Finished it up as much as I will for class. Getting this to print halfway correctly will require an act of god. Lot of things I wish I could do, fix and work on, but I have to crank out another painting tommorrow and tonight I have to get some more LA class stuff done. Figured I would just throw it up on here.

All photoshop from start to finish. No ref.
