illustration + design
Cartoon Network recently premiered a mini series called Over the Garden Wall. It was surprisingly dark and very well done. I came across the Tumblr community’s take on the two main characters Wirt and Greg and decided to do my own take on fanart for the show.
Did a quick sketch while drawing some other stuff. I wanted to see how quickly I could render her if I took a couple of shortcuts compared to my usual rendering process. I came up with a couple of tricks I need to try on something with more environment in it.
It’s been a tough Inktober, in retrospect forcing myself to do this during New York Comic Con weekend was a bad idea. I took two days off and drew a couple Sunday night to make up for the days I took off.
The great part is I am really getting comfortable with brush pens this time around.
Yesterday was the first day of Inktober, my goal is to actually make it through the entire month.
The exciting news is Sketch Dailies actually posted my Dredd sketch on their page. This might not seem like a big deal but to me it is. A number of my favorite professional illustrators routinely get posted on their site.
Couldn’t sleep started doodling this and ended up just coloring it way to late into the night. My fav part is once the base colors are blocked in the layer building process begins.
Sometimes after spending way too long on a project you realize at the end stage it never started right from the beginning.
You live you learn as simple as that.
I am pretty psyched to finally get my hands on Destiny. I was a huge fan of the alpha and beta versions of the game.
Even though I have never been a Call of Duty player, I keep hoping an RPG would come out that could give me that awesome gameplay experience.
Here’s to hoping Destiny is it…
This year I came across a great thought process site called Sketch Dailies. The basic premise is everyday the admin post a theme and artist from all over the world submit their own take on the daily theme.
The other day Baobhan Sith was the daily theme. After doing some research on the theme fyi: it’s a Scottish fairy with feet of a goat that entices young men, I came up with the following concept.
Almost at the end of Kill La Kill it’s been an amazing ride. This is the type of series as soon as it ends I will need their art books in my hands ASAP.
I did this sketch the other day and decided to spend way to long rendering it. I have no regrets about it.
I really like the direction DC is taking with the new Batgirl. Cameron Stewart is an amazing artists. I know a lot of people are doing Batgirl fanart, figured I would take a crack at it.
My slight obsession with Sketch Dailies continues into the summer months apparently. The daily theme the other day was Wonder Woman. I am not to sure as to the genesis of this concept, I would like to revisit the design in a more detailed design at some point.
Sketch Dailies theme the other day was Sailor Moon. I grew up watching it just because back then any anime you could get your hands on no matter what the series, you learned something about the creative process while viewing.
Also it was pretty good for what it was.
