@oddbill...thanks for the compliments. I'm slowly but surely getting better at doing comics..or at the very least, getting a more efficient routine where I can spend hours on it without going stir-crazy. I think it's barely even been a year so far of doing it regularly. Backgrounds and crowd scenes scared me only 6 months ago but not so much now...still crap at a lot of things but grinding should yield improvements. I don't have a personal page but I am using tumblr a lot these days for art stuff.
@mojokingbee- comics can get very frustrating and tedious, to me at least, but you seem to churn out those pages pretty fast and i love your kinetic style, i am a little jealous. also love your inspector gadget renditions cant wait to see the finished one. @d.miranda- that koala is so awesome
heres some of my recent stuff and a t-shirt design-
@imaginary...love the underwater scene! How long did that take you to do the line rendering? I wouldn't be able to do that without my eyes starting to bleed.
@Mojokingbee: Cheers, and thanks for the info on your comics; seeing you being this productive while continually upping the quality level has been super inspiring. Keep it up!! :) @Imaginarypeople: Thanks! I also especially love your underwater scene. Awesome work!
great stuff all around @ imaginary - that is an awesome seascape @mojo- I also want a published copy of your comics, they get better all the time.
I've been working on some stuff I installed at the Drake Hotel today (the Drake is a fancy and arty club/cafe/hotel in downtown Toronto) The window features two paintings, some decals and hopefully I'll add animations later this week, my DVD player didn't want to cooperate this afternoon.
@Pooka, love the bottom of the sea darkness in that painting!
@jesserubenfeld, a train coming from the wall... a reflex without original... that´s fantastic!
this one goes with text : )
"Sherlock Holmes took his bottle from the corner of the mantel-piece and his hypodermic syringe from its neat morocco case. With his long, white, nervous fingers he adjusted the delicate needle, and rolled back his left shirt-cuff. For some little time his eyes rested thoughtfully upon the sinewy forearm and wrist all dotted and scarred with innumerable puncture-marks. Finally he thrust the sharp point home, pressed down the tiny piston, and sank back into the velvet-lined arm-chair with a long sigh of satisfaction. (...)
"Which is it to-day?" I asked,--"morphine or cocaine?"
He raised his eyes languidly from the old black-letter volume which he had opened. "It is cocaine," he said,--"a seven-per-cent. solution. Would you care to try it?"
"No, indeed," I answered, brusquely. "My constitution has not got over the Afghan campaign yet. I cannot afford to throw any extra strain upon it."
He smiled at my vehemence. "Perhaps you are right, Watson," he said. "I suppose that its influence is physically a bad one. I find it, however, so transcendently stimulating and clarifying to the mind that its secondary action is a matter of small moment."^
@mojokingbee - cheers man @osmosis - Which chapter? Yup. I'll be there with some big prints of the images. Hopefully see you there. @kenbastard - beautiful
PaulJHolden: Wow, great piece, nice composition, nice colors.
Salgood Sam: Very cool, great to see how you move through the figure. I always plan for the eyes but ink them last. It also reminded me that I haven't inked something on paper for over 2 years. Damn digital revolution. I cut my teeth on inking with a brush and nib pen; best training I could wish for. It showed me how to really see figures as volume, and make line more than just lifeless trace lines. Regardless of how artists ink, I think everyone should pick up a brush and practice with it anyway. It was a revelation to me.
