Back on track

Well folks, old contract almost done, onto new things. Hopefully my blogfolio will get updated in the next few weeks and a new demo reel will be up and functioning! Very exciting! In other news... I'm not quite done with summer. I need at least one more good weekend of beaching... but ... sniff sniff... is that the alluring scent of fall in the air? I can break out the sweatervest and tweed soon...!

Oh and here's some pics from Fright Fest. We don't have a pic of the jail set with all the cool masonry jar candles alight (An idea I ripped off from the Pumpkinrot blog, go check him out!) but we do have some good pics from the Mansion set which we recycled from last year's CityTV set that we built. The guy peering through the door is my buddy Ben and I'm the guy eating the rat (hard to see in the pic but I'm ripping its latex intestines out because that's how I roll) Also a huge thanks to Deadspider for going around and taking photographs pro-style with your pro-style tripod!

About Freaking Time!

Didn't I say I was going to try and post weekly? I did say that didn't I? Well I'm a damn, dirty liar I suppose. So... poof! Here's some new drawings. Also does it still count as a speed painting if you retroactively go in and take 2 hours trying to make the colour look blockier?

Quickie!

Heading out to the beach because it's ri-stupid-dicu-hot out here! More Fans! MORE ORANGE CREAMSCICLES! Diet be damned!

Incidentally the chubby guy was based off a fella I saw when was riding my bike home from the beach on Tuesday. I have no idea how he got a bathing suit that goes that far up a human torso but it looked good on him in a character-y sort of way.

Dungeon MASTAH!

I missed being a Dungeon Master for a group of awesome nerds. So as a reward for being a diligent individual and finishing up the 11 second challenge last month I bought myself the new core rulebooks and set about making up a new campaign for my fellow ultranerds. And my favorite part about Being a game master is that I get LOADS of fodder for illustration. So here's a few recent things. I'm playing around with some speed painting brushes for giggles here too.

Animation! Whee!

Long time no post, eh? Yeah... well I have an excellent excuse! This month I took all my spare time and entered the 11 Second Challenge. So I've been drawing a lot... but sequentially! So technically this counts as a couple hundred drawings.

Here's my entry. Also a drawing I did of the magician character and what might be approaching the final design of the boy which I have been agonizing over for a while now

May doodles.

No finished stuff, just marker sketches and @ work flash doodles.

Weekly stuff

been SUPER busy with some non-drawing-related projects lately folks so there's slim pickins lately. And Bus drawing season is ending with the onset of nice weather.

Not really happy with the "poison soup" Murderered drawing. I tried something new with it... more of a staged scene rather than a centred drawing with no real context. Will try this approach again later but I've already done two versions of this premise and I'm not really happy with either. This is the better one. Headless on the other hand I'm really rather fond of!
