Some Old White Wolf stuff

hadnt ever gotten around to posting these, from last year, white wolf's "The Book of the Dead," a black and white Paperback Tabletop RPG. anyway, the images were fun, but ive learned a lot since then! But i remember learning a lot while doing them as well.....so alls well that ends well, right?

Comics Comics Comics

as my comic project is drawing closer to an end, im happy to upload a few pics i took this morning of my space, while offering a VERY sneak peak at just what it is im drawing... Things are pretty tumultuous right now, figuring things out, making stupid mistakes, learning from them quickly... i guess what it boils down to is the sheer determination to actually do it right. Doing something new feels awkward, especially when you put yourself out there... all you can do is hope that your efforts are received well. You cant win 'em all, right? Right. But you can damned sure try. *toasts to the double entendre.*

bye bye San Francisco, again

Spent the weekend visiting old friends in San Francisco, and had some time to take in the sights, and the crazy fog... i wish i could have stayed longer, but it was good to see my old home again... ill definitely have to go back and collect some more memories! i didnt even get to go to the museum ! what was i thinking! next time sf, next time....

Black and white studies

Got some new inks and brushes, via advice from Francis Vallejo , and hopped right in to practice some inking techniques. all i can say is... its a LOT tougher than it looks! Converting it to pure black and white may have gone smoother if i hadnt started them on yellow paper to begin with. LOL!

But man, controlling that linework is a tough, tough situation! ( i really dont think i got it right...)

Multicolr Search Lab - Idée Inc.

ok so totally awesome. I bumped into this on a friend's website, but felt the need to repost it! its currently blowing my mind, by being able to pick colors from the right side, and come up with a ton of examples of whichever color scheme that ive chosen... woah. give it a try!

Experimenting with my comic process

So i went to the store today, only to realize that im dead broke after buying my ticket to San Francisco... meaning i couldnt buy paints to do my streetfighter piece, and i refuse to paint it digitally!! So what to do..what to do... I spent the day instead, trying my hand at a quiiiick little comic, in hopes of figuring out some questions to ask my comic book illustrating friends. Afterall, you cant ask the teacher questions if you havent done the homework, right? All in all, i think my dialogue is a bit too wordy, and my lines arent clean enough, but in my defense, i did this on very small paper, and not comic size paper :) Just a sketch , but i hope you enjoy it as much as i enjoyed doing it!

Here comes a new challenger

So ive been seeing all of the pieces everywhere that seemed to commemorate the coming of the last streetfighter game, a game that took a decade to make... and i started wondering... "wtf i love this game.. wheres MY piece?!" so, at long last, late last night, around about 2am, i decided to start on one. Here are the pencils so far. im headed to the supply store to pick up...get this... some acrylic paint. itll be my first actual painted piece in over 4 years...scary
