Started as a couple of napkin doodles, from last weekend. I came across it and wanted to fine tune the logo a bit more. At some point I will drop some color on a couple and revise per approval.
Rough Logo Thoughts
Working through a couple of designs for a twitch channel some people I know are setting up. I find it easier to do quick thumbnails on paper before quick greyscale samples in Adobe.
Sketch dumps Part 2 02-07-2015
Found another set I needed to post of recent pen and paper sketches.
Sketch dumps Part 1 02-07-2015
Went through a bunch of scans recently from the past couple of weeks and just decided to post them all. Some of them are from doodles others are from photo references.
The guy in the suit is supposed to be Ron Swanson from Parks and Rec. The joy and pain of pen and paper is no undo button, those owl eyes are quite jarring.

Found a great tumblr recently Flaber gaster tron that covers a lot of clothing and fashion from different regions. I am trying to expand my clothing styles that characters wear.
Snow day Illustration 02-02-2015
Another glorious snow day, spent the day filling up a few pages in the sketchbook and ended up doing this piece late into the night.
Photostudy 01-27-15
Winter finally showed up here in NE so that means snow days yay. The best part is working late into the night, people that know me know I love after 1am it’s so calming.
I recently got into the habit of quick sketches from my social feeds and ever so often a photo comes up that I need to do an illustration of.
John Wick Illustration 01-19-2015
Finally got around to watching John Wick. For me this is the perfect type of film, a man pushed too far finally fights back with an unstoppable force.
I spent a bit of time on this illustration with the John Wick soundtrack playing in the background.

Super cool pinup model little.miss.bambi always an awesome reference to work from.
Process Post 01-02-2015
The first day of 2015 and Sketch Dailies has won me over all over again. Great idea to go with Marty McFly to start the new year off with. Luckily the tv had Back to the Future on tv. I wasn’t able to really draw anything earlier in the day but just watching it for a bit gave me a couple of funny concepts.
New Year Celebration Process 2015
With the New Year around the corner I thought about an image that would kick off 2015. I have been randomly watching Samurai Champloo late night so it’s pretty easy to see where the costume design is inspired from.
Ever so often I like to try digital painting with the short brushes it really has an effect on my character designs.
Always Experimenting 12-28-2014
Some late night casual skimming through some classic manga has driven me to experiment with a more realistic look. I am going to blame it on all the synth-80’s music I have been listening to.
Once I figure out some problems with shades and more steady line value all the way through, I definitely want to try doing some prints.
