Now I had a bit more time to work on these ones than before soooo I had some fun with a brush tip.
A random lineup of noseless little blob people such as lady knight, construction worker kid, snake man, and an unimpressed little me!
Inktober – Day Two
Ink and monsters just go so well together!
Inktober – Day One
Inktober! Or #inktober in internet speak.
Yes, yes this is posted late but I found myself with far too many things to get done. This is a sweet little picture of a young boy and his massive head growth!
A ‘Thank You’ Picture
Soooo I was a silly billy and overworked myself last year, resulting in two injuries that I’m still recovering from, one my arm and other my foot/shin. Being so young and having somewhat crippled myself made me put things in perspective and take much better care of myself and my body. Thats where Paria comes in! (Hope I spelt that right)
She has been my physiotherapist for the last few month and with her magic hands and elbows, my injuries are waaaaay, waaaaay better, my arm nearly healed and my leg on it’s way. Healing and treatment aren’t always pleasant, but pain in the name of progress makes it worth it. It may be her job but giving me back my health is one of the most precious gifts that I could ever receive, so THANK YOU!
All Sorts of Faces 6
Guess who was creeping hard at the mall again!
It was me.
It’s the near-perfect place to creep as long as you get a good vantage point where you can see far and wide, as well as preferably slightly higher than eye level so you don’t make that awkward eye-touch with someone. Some of these I just drew for fun, as well as cramming a couple of my own mini-heads in there.
Girl and Golem – Development and Roughs
Awwwww dang this is probably one of the longest pics I’ve posted!
As of late I’ve been working on developing and getting some story ideas off the ground so I don’t have much for ‘finished’ work. What I DO have is buttloads of sketches and roughs trying to flesh out the multitude of little people running around in my head, so I figure I should share a bit of what I’m doing.
This pertains to the painting I posted before, the girl and the golem sitting on the lovely hill looking at the clouds. Their story involves a world with industrialized magic and more recently the creation of artificial life and the interesting effects it would have on such a world. I will keep working on it and soon (ha ha, ‘soon’) I will be able to start to make something with it! Probably comics cuz I love comics.
Girl and Golem – Progress Pic
Yeaaaaah it’s not finished but I wanted to show it off anyway!
This is a screenshot from my lovely Photoshop screen, it has my rough painting coming along as well as a few color and mood reference pictures beside. The idea is inspired by a daydream that I’ve been slowly constructing over the last year, bits and pieces of the story coming along every time I go back to it. Will I share it once it’s come to fruition? Why of course!
Animal Peeps – 2 – Toni, Walking Garborator
Some may recognize this guy, I have him pop up periodically in my sketchbook and other work. Considering he’s a big character in a planned comic/animation story I’ve been working on for years, even have made a couple test comics! No you can’t see them.
Toni, a metal worker in the city, is also hired to disappear people by eating them whole but hates fufilling the cliche profile of a predatory monster that the whole city has towards carnivores. He would stop if he could, but you know life, things are hardly under our own control.
Just some good old fashion pencil drawing here!
Animal Peeps – 1 – Ungulate on Over Here
DANG THEY’RE ALL SO FAB
These are some studies for some lovely animal people that will most likely make an appearance in a story project of mine that’s been a long time in the making. All of these characters are of the ‘ungulate’ animals category, or hoofed as pretty much everybody else says since ‘ungulate’ is kind of a weird word.
Basic idea is that rather than humans, many many other species involved to have advanced intelligence, and now all the animals, cold blooded, warm blooded, carnivore and herbivore are attempting to live together, though we all know that that wouldn’t be too easy. Especially considering all the trouble us humans have getting along when something as trivial as a different shade of skin color is enough for us to start wars. I was looking to have fun with all the different types of faces you find with hoofed animals, as well as their crazy ass huge/interesting/pointy horns.
Here I have only drawn lovely hoof bearing people, but I have plans to draw some more characters as I keep developing the world. Will you see the comic/animation one day? I sure hope so.
Silhouettes are Fun
Here is a page from my little 5.5×3.5 sketchbook on a day that I was feeling a little down. When I feel down my work ususally gets a wee bit dark, a healthy outlet for bad feelings I think. The monster reflection is one of my favorites, something nice about the contrast between a delicate little girl and a big ol’ mean looking creature. As for the assassin with the murdered clown bag, not sure where that came from but I like it!
These are done with markers, both sharpies and prismacolor. Oh prismacolor, I would marry you if I could….
