CRAM

Still busy. So I'm cramming pencil sketches onto one page. Push crush smash. And one stray doodle of a cranky little girl that's my favorite.

Oh but see in the crammy page? That mustache guy in the middle with the jester hat? THAT'S A REAL GUY. I saw him from the bus this morning.

Sick.

I would like to put that in a sick, wibbly wobbly font but I can't. So anyways. Sick weekend. Sore throat. Coughing. Apartment hunting in pouring rain with a broken umbrella. Wah.

So in the spirit of making myself feel better I've drawn a scared man in a nice suit with a big old book on some stairs scared of something. Because now is not the time to develop creatively. It's time to sink back into my favorite things and wallow for a bit.

Wallowwallowwallow.

The Last 0f 2011 and a first of 2012

Happy new Year! DAMN I've been busy! What with animation and Christmas and everything. Ugh. Fun but... ugh. So not much posting. Here's some sketches I meant to colour but never did, what was going to be my Christmas card that didn't get finished and something I tried in flash and photoshop that was meant to be somewhat Pascal Campion-ish but fell way short. I think the outline on his back is the nail in the coffin. Blog fodder!

LASERFACE!

I think offscreen two pigeons have just been lasered in the face. I have NO idea what's happening here.

I've had a weird few days where I've had something like a NEED to draw a glowy robot. So... that took up some time today. But it NEEDED to be done or else I couldn't focus.

In a way he kind of reminds me of the little evil alien figurine you could get with Construx. Maybe it's because of the purple and the angry eyes.

HAPPY DECEMBER!

Gurgle! Glub! Drowning in work! Must find time to do Christmas Shopping and laundry! Yet somehow I managed to do a fun little colour thing. I find colouring relaxing. I'm beginning to get a little tired of the same sort of graphic style I've been playing with though. Time to try something new. Or, maybe a different composition that isn't, "three quarter character design standing in front of texture"... as soon as I have, you know, some more time to do that.

Argh

OK this has gone on too long. I'm waiting on some decent pictures of my Hallowe'en costume and other miscellaneous projects to do my big "What the hell I've been up to"post. I'll get the pictures up eventually. Hopefully before the end of the month. In the meantime have some stuff.

King Death

In a perfect world this is what my Hallowe'en costume would look like. And it would have glowed in the dark and been whispy and ethereal. But I've traded in "whispy and ethereal" for "grim and funerary" Photos when I get some decent ones of the progress but in the meantime here's the original sketch for the concept and a fun goofy cartoon I did of it later. The original sketch is reasonably representative of what I've got so far actually.
