Multimedia Illustration using Pencil, Pen, and Photoshop. Personal project exploring my fascination with the look and feel of vintage diving paraphernalia.
@Neila - I'm still pretty useless at perspective on anything that isn't composed of straight lines, nothing at all wrong with your's I'm going to have to try Manga studio - I'm currently using Photoshop CS5 - it has loads of new tools and updates from the version I was using till recently, so I've been slowly working through them. @M.J.Boyson - nothing wrong with fan wankery - fantastic pic @harchangel - superb @Raid71 - hard choice there - both are brilliant, but I do like the horse @michael_shea - that reminds me of Michael Moorcock cover images - love the depth of detail - something you could spend ages exploring As ever loads of fantastic stuff
And these sketches, trying to come up with a good villain for the Shark Pony Comic! First try: Brujaha the mustacheoed witch:
And finally this sketch, of Hinga, the magical Bunny/Mule/Alien Space witch, who uses magic spells on paper to fight, and is prone to getting papercuts. Also on this pg is my sketch for the Station Indent I"m working on for this week's thing:
@harchangel - really nice, I had a toy of a diver like that when I was a kid, I always imagined him in a creepy seascape like yours @Neila- you've got to stop feeding your models beans! great sketches! @Batguano and @Dronecraft - nice alternate remakes all around!
here's the illustration I made for the remake , after six hours of fun with my little ruler I got tired and really crapped out on the font. I think it looks way better like this .
@ lomopop - thanks! I really liked that comfortable looking wood and paper chair thing you created a couple of days ago too.
I did a little interview for a local webTV broadcast last Friday. I just got a copy of it now so I thought I'd share a clip. This part is when I talk about my experiences as a street artist. I thought it might be neat for you guys to see me and hear my voice, I've often wondered what you're all really like...
@Hey Apathy But that's how they get to be Magical Girls, by eating the Magical Fruit :3
Here's the uncropped version of the Station Indent I did. I forgot to put the blood on the teeth till a minute ago, and then my allergy addled mind couldnt figure out how to get the updated image to appear on the forum. D: I finally got it to work.
I'm currently studying animation, which is why I keep disappearing for long periods of time. It is all-consuming. So, here I am popping up to show some stuff. I know a lot of folks around here are Alchemy buffs (you're how I found out about it, so thanks). Thought you might be interested in this animation I made using Alchemy. It's on Vimeo, so no embed I'm afraid...
Basic process: Set Alchemy to automatically record what's on the page to a pdf every 5 seconds. Torture photoshop by making it import hundreds of pages of pdf to individual images and spit them back out again at chosen screen res. Use Quicktime pro to convert image sequence to video. Chop it up, set to music and play with the timing in Final cut.
