Gone Fish'n

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?

wham, wham, wham, wham

Good heavens, someone's feeling pretty sorry for themselves this weekend. Out of the corner, Mopey you got crap to take care of.

Passive Perception Check Fail

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.

heightened stress levels = more posts

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.

Rapid Succession posting!

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.

Fine. No really. I don't want summer. Just stay cold and crappy all month.

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.

WHAM! Here's a ton of drawings.

Bunch of things I've been working on. Some expression stuff, some fun drawings, the mandatory skeleton, and some new D&D art. Beware the Ha'arkun Suul!
