@Mellon - love the Thor and the DMZ. You keep upping the awesomeness on your art skills, so ditto what Paul says. Thanks for the compliment by-the-way.
@NeilFord - Dark and shiny all in one... Very nice, sir.
Yeah, I've been off the radar for a bit. Thought I should actually post something, as I'm getting poked a bit for not doing so *grin*.
Click for full size.
Just a touch over 2 hrs. ArtRage and Photoshop, with initial pencils for character done in Sketchbook. Background is all personal custom PS brushes, touched up slightly with light/shadow.
I'm testing out some new technique theories, as well as the concept of a "microscene" for a type of art commission. So, while I could have put more time in it, I really didn't want to invest more than a couple hours, as a high detail piece wasn't the intention.
Not in a horribly textual mood at the moment, so I'll leave it brief rather than letting your eyes bleed from the ramble. ;)
@jigsy q - I've got a couple books upcoming that I drew over the last two years.
One called LOVESTRUCK, about Cupid as a corporation and the people he employs to do his dirty work, due sometime next year from AiT/PlanetLar. It's done, just being proofed and edited and all that. It's with co-creator/writer Dennis Hopeless.
I also have a book I drew this year called DEADLINE, about an ex-black ops fellow whose family is threatened if he doesn't do some terrorist bidding, from Kickstart Entertainment (producers of WANTED) w/ writers B. Clay Moore and Seth Peck. It's also done and awaiting printing/distro.
I have a 4 pg short I wrote and did the art for that will be in next week's Hack/Slash: Trailers 2 one-shot.
I'm currently trying to finish up the drawing end of a series I wrote called SUICIDE SISTERS. Its a 3 issue yarn about 2 sisters traveling across Texas trying to find the devil so they can get their souls back. I'm drawing the last 14 pages of 96, then I have to color and letter the whole damn thing. It'll be out from APE Entertainment whenever I can get it finished.
I say all that, but I'm actually unemployed right now. :)
A lot of the sketches/drawings I'm posting are me wood-shedding different working methods and style stuff. I need to get some new samples together and hit up editors.
Challenges like this - it's always good to show your work as you progress through the thinking process ... Scale and perspective are both always tricky - but I think it is fixable ...
Vector art. Portrait of Dusty Springfield. A bit old. I had to leave my desktop back in the old US of A, and now all I have is a crap little netbook that struggles to connect to the interwebz.
A Ganguro Gal. Japanese street fashion is wacky. Non-digital work.
All the work I have digitized is old, but all the scanners and image programs I have access to are in Korean...*weeps*
Alan Tyson: Thank you! I think she is doing the victory V with her pinky and ring finger. Which is very strange. Then again, she is wearing white lipstick ^^;
