Voltron has eaten all my time. Which means scant posting I'm afraid. This is pretty much the only thing I've drawn in my spare time since I started. Even as I type this the damn seagull is SHRIEKING like a banshee on the top of my roof. Come on, Seagull! It's, like, 1:30 AM!
Off to Whistler this weekend for some volleyball action. After the Mighty Computer Crash of 2010 I've lost a lot of material. And tools. So I'm rocking sketchbook to see what I think of the program until I get PS and Flash up and running again.
And I have also decided it's high time I tried to figure out machinery Kinda wing'n it as far as the mechanical logic. But adding a bigass gun makes up for that, right? RIGHT?
OK... so this was a little too ambitious to git 'er done in the time I had so there's a lot that's unfinished but the important stuff is there albeit in a rougher state than I'd like. Tweaking, colouring, colour correcting, finishing the weird little snake thing so it's not just my rough blocking, matching it to the hole etc etc etc. But hey... that little guy was a LOT of fun to animate! Wheee!
EDIT put in some higher res video... which my blog post cuts off for some reason so you'll have to view it on the youtube web page
also youtube apparently cuts off the last few frames. Hmm.
I got a wonderful nudge the other day which also accounts for more drawings. At exactly the right time I recieved a bookful of inspiration from a remarkably thoughtful person that had the wonderful effect of saying "Look at HOW MUCH FUN THIS IS!" No matter how frustrating a contract is you can always go to bed and draw something that makes you forget about it for a while.
So thanks for the nudge to all the nudgers out there.
I am in a much better mood today which I owe to the sun making an expected appearance. In honour of this I am posting a quick speedpainting I did of the volcano that I think reflects at least a little more accurately what I want my players to see. Also I think this is the first time I've ever posted a speedpainting that was actually a speedpainting rather than something I'd intended to be a speedpainting and ended up taking a whole night.
I'll just do some more Murderered work. I'm just in the mood today too. Might fire up some Corman dvds and watch my main man Vinnie P do his thing.
Also here's a very strange BG. I wanted to do a painting of somewhere my players will be going in the next few weeks and it turned out accidentally rather Samurai Jackish. Not my intent. I might have another stab at this later.
Also this weekend we had an evening of quickie drawings before we went to the unbelievably awful Prince of Persia. I quite like this quick as heck Conan drawing. I was going to clean it up but I think if I did it would lose what I like about it.
