i Have Not Forsaken Ye

This is just a small post so you guys could see what i was workin' on. i've been really busy lately. Above is a screenshot of what i'm working toward releasing in a week or so, and yes, i'm giving you all three to make up for not having anything for this month or last month.

Most of you could probably guess who these guys are (or not) and i'm thinking of maybe making a series of musicians (but that's still a BIG maybe). Let me know your thoughts on the idea AND on what you see above. It would be greatly appreciated.

i also got a camera and took some pictures of the previous models.

Wacom Practice

So i'm back at good ol' Memphis College of Art and i just couldn't wait to try out the new Wacom tablets. I seriously need to invest in one of these babies.

i tested them out on a few sketches i previously scanned in.

[King the ManApe]

[Audia]

[Street Fighter's Dhalsim]

So these are my first ever Wacom inkings. i think they came out pretty good. Feel free to comment.

Audia: Revealed!

Meet Audia, a character i've been working on for about 3 years now. This is a color comp of one of my sketches. i'm finally ready to put her to work in a new project. What will it be? Stay tuned.

BONUS MATERIAL: These are some pages of a shot i did with her in 2005.

Page 4 - Title Page

Looking back at them i get that " i drew THAT?!" feeling. Maturing her (and my writing ability) for so long has payed off as you will see later this year.

Baby Needs a Name

I was scrounging around the other day and i found some...things. This is something i did a while ago and used to make stickers. He is the first of the two babies that i decided to draw beacuse i never drew creepy babies before and i thought 'what the hay'.

I don't yet have a name for this little guy, but that's were you come in. Got any suggestions? (No, i will not name him 4real).

Here's the other one. She's also nameless. Help me out.

No Woman, No Cry : Finished

Here is the finished piece. This is my first time using Photoshop for a major part of the production. I don't think it's too bad for a first time, if i do say so myself. Thank you Iain McCaig DVDs!

Since the goal of StartDrawing for Live Earth was to raise awareness of global warming i thought,"Why not do a portrait of mother earth?"

Comments are welcome.

Brand New for the Summer

"the hypie" entry for Vektoria Magazine #10

Well, the break has begun and here is the first post of the summer. I got an internship and got the rude awakening every designer gets from working for "the man" as i understand it: Discovering that you're designing everyday for 8 hours. boring. But hey, beggars can't be choosers i guess

Puppet v1.5 "Cammy"

This is the rough sketch for the puppet aka. "Cammy". At this point, I've worked out the movement and joints and I'm more concerned with achieveing some sort of style and giving Cammy some personality.

I'm not as interested in using Illustrator as I first was. I've decided that I like the cut paper feel and actually having the pieces physically cut is slightly more interesting to me.
