H&M Process Part 2

I start refining some of the details in the picture. I tend to jump around a bit at first. Mostly working out the faces, adding details to the costume. Because these are original characters (there were no costume templates except for the fact that each had an eyepatch on opposing eyes), I was able to let loose on costume designing. This leaves room to create a lot more detail than if you wanted to create a usable costume for comic interiors. The final design could be a pain to recreate in every panel.

Sketchies and Prelim Huginn and Muninn Pinup

So I've decided to incorporate a sketchblog into this blogger. I figured I may as well just keep this one as I've already customized the blogger templates. There will still be news but should be more active as I'll post sketches and a bunch of unseen prelim work. I'll start of with an image I did last year and here are a couple images to get started. As you can see I usually start with very loose sketches to get down an idea. This here was just a very quick thumbnail to get the idea down. I had the idea a while ago, but this loose image was to keep the general idea so I wouldn't forget. Then I started on a pencil sketch. I work a lot on the faces so usually the rest don't get going till I get that stuff figured out. Start with a 2H pencil. This is done on 11x17 board.

Deathlings trailer

After a year of hard work from Michael Marcynuk and Jon Gong, each taking time out from their busy lives to dedicate precious time into this endeavor, we present to the world the Deathlings trailer! It's a part trailer / part motion comic experiment that somehow I managed to convince them to take on =P. The original short story was written by Ian Struckhoff , pencilled by me and colored by Juri Hayasaka. (which can be found in its entirety ,as well as several other short stories, in printed form at:  http://indyplanet.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=4149 )

Enjoy! And thanks for lookin!

Here is a new image I did for a new card set called Dungeon Dolls from Axebone studios, http://www.axebone.com/BadAxeStudios.html . Should be dropping soon. Also are a couple recent APs that I have finished up. Been trying a new technique with the watercolors and I am liking the result =D
