eh

I feel like this thing is on the verge of being a decent piece, but Ive run out of spare time to push it. Shelving it for now. Seems to just confuse people right now.

this is what my life looks like

More pages

These two pages just got released.

These were done at the same time as the first two pages, hopefully the next update will show what I learned from these first four.

Panels

Just for fun..

Here are some pencils and larger versions of final art.

Irisia

I rely pretty heavily on blogs and forums now for creative feedback. Mark Lincoln (writer/letter for Irisia)found me on Penny-arcade. Irisia is his brainchild and Im glad he liked my art enough to feel I would work as the visuals. The first two pages of this epic are now available.







This is a pretty exciting project for me and I am learning a lot. I hope the learning curve isn't showing to bad. I handled each panel indivudually in the first couple pages of this comic, something Im moving away from. I found once I composed them into a page they werent communicating as clearly as when I was painting up each one as its own little piece.
My only fear now is that when im working on the pages as just one big sheet is that Ill spill ink over finished panels working on the last one of the page. Just have to mask things off I guess.



Anyways, critical feedback is what keeps me going and if you have any please hit me with it.

Smell you Later LA

Id like to pack the art community, well parts of it, up in my bags as well.

Sadly the these are from the last class with Vilppu. I do have his DVD's to keep me company but not quite the same as being to ask the master questions directly. Really really cool teacher.. He was always experimenting with things in class and dropping words of wisdom. Didnt hurt that he had 50+ years of teaching experience not to mention the 20 years of drawing before he even started teaching. Any one who has a chance to take a seminar with him or a class, its worth it. Even better when you get him in a class with only 5 students.

Just noticed some lense distortion in this picture of the painting..






2hrs?


I love art school improving studying and what not. But god damn am I tired of the shitfest of "this" versus "that". I learned a lot playing devils advocate but Im looking forward to a couple months of keeping my head down all alone in a studio. Need to process.


Here are some of the more pretty/presentable anatomy studies Ive done.. The majority look like drunken napkin drawings.

Harry Potter

Illustration for an article about how the harry potter franchise now has/is to deal with the issue of sex.

Got some more paintings to post.. just cant be bothered to set up my equipment to shoot them right now..

Head Study

In all of my classes of have focused my attention on my biggest weakness

some pages

Still life painting Numbah 4

Its gone from a frustrating and tense experience to casual relaxed and enjoyable. Hope the current progress on this still life shows it.

dumpage

Discovered a new trick for photographing a painting with out setting up my lights and filters and what not.. Just move the light so the glare is on different parts of the painting.. then crop the pictures to the nonglare parts and photomerge them.

Unfortuantely Im using a shit 5 dollar yellow lightbulb from target so its raping my colors to the point is hard to save them in photoshop

Charcoal from tonal figure drawing class. ITs really painting in charcoal class. bout 8ish hours. Which is propably why 8 hours is a short time frame to my mindset in that class.

Up Up Up UUUPPPPPPdaaaaaate

heres another work in progress still life.

Alot more of the quicker life study... The stuff I really enjoy..
Feel like I learn faster from these.. I can see most of my mistakes.. just try to fix it in the next drawing rather than labor on just one.

Watching Some UFC

Was watching UFC and started doodling and it about an hour or two later.. finally quite playing with this. Had a lot of fun







Probably the first one of these that is successful?
