WIPs

It turns out I don't actually have the time to draw for myself this month like I had hoped but I'll be damned if I'm not going to try and cram as much as I can in between homework and commissions.

Not a WIP, but still awesome. I some how found the time to knock out some art cards of my personal characters. These are for sale on Deviantart. First come first serve.
Some progress from my last post here! Again this is Sue Denim and Dee Plume of the Euro-Electro band, Robots in Disguise. Since I posted the inks, I've fixed some anatomy errors and added color. I need to add some graphics and a logo to it. I'm going for a poster type look. Hopefully I find time to finish it soon.
I'm gonna try to scan my progress on this so I can show people my process. People like that kind of thing. Group shot of Izzy, Grenadine and Benji. Started out as a really messy rough sketch in my sketchbook. Focusing mostly on their gesture first and adding the characters over that.
The sketch was waaaay messier than my usual work so I busted out the lightbox and transfered my sketch over to a clean sheet of cardstock. Once I had some clean pencils changing some minor details, I inked right on top of the new sketch, erasing it with a white pencil. It's ready for coloring, which I'll hopefully remember the scan the stages.

Until next time!

Get RID!

I don't know when I'll ever be able to finish this, (definitely not any time soon) so I might as well share the lineart. I'm a huge fan of the electro band, Robots in Disguise, some of you may know them as the Electro/Goth Girls from The Mighty Boosh. They're a pretty crackin' band and you should give them a listen even if you don't watch the Boosh.

On the left is Sue Denim and the right is Dee Plume, I drew this with the intention of throwing some neons into my life after drawing nothing but gloomy things. Unfortunately I haven't had a change to use those neons. Oh well, I'll get to it eventually.

August to September

I check my blog feed every day and some how forget to update my own.

Color test for Darkness and Dekay, I might make Dekay's hair blue instead of blonde. Though it doesn't really matter since the comic is in black and white.
Numerous doodles from the last couple months.
Cheshire cat for an art jam on LJ who I named The Great Gazini. I'm gonna have to draw him more.
An exceptionally large commission for a client on FA that turned out very well.
Commission for another FA client, who asked for his persona dressed as Howard Moon from the Boosh.
Updated ref sheet for DeKay
If I were a shiny Charizard this is what I would look like. God I love pokemon.
Playing around with lineart styles.
Took a nervous leap into digital art a while ago. I have A LOT to learn but I think I'm off to a good start. It took a very long time and a ton of encouragement from a close friend.
Homage to one of my favorite British comedians, Russell Brand.
Art trade with :iconnanuka: of her character Nanu as someone from Resident Evil. Dynamic poses are fun and more people should do them.
A gift for my friend :iconmajime: because it was her birthday!
Ref sheet for my newest character, Anya made for :icondelya:'s comic universe, Tales of Curiah City.
Initial drawing of Anya.
More art for Curiah City, of Delia's DJ Astrobe. Very much inspired by the LMFAO's song "Yes"


That's it for now guys! Take care.

For the Comic Con Times

Drawings of Zach (Seizuredemon), Tara (Nosleepjinx) and Mike (UltimatecreatureII) who are basically my super best internet friends so I figured I'd surprise them with these when we met up again at Comic Con.
Conbadges I made for our Team Fortress cosplay group.

Jazz Maverick Progression

I posted the lines to this yesterday but I'm including them again as a comparison to the finished result.
Threw down the flat colors and some preliminary shading to the characters before tackling a backdrop.
A few hours and multiple dead markers later we have the finished result!
This might be my favorite Mighty Boosh piece so far. I'm really happy with the color choices and how the expression on Howard's face turned out. I can't wait to show this to them next week!

Jazzy Lines

This is what I've been working on most of today. I dawned on me a while ago that I had no REAL Howard Moon art and I didn't want to show up to the Boosh signing at Comic Con with all of this art of Noel Fielding's characters and none of Julian's. That would be a super dick move. Also I really do love Howard just as much as I love Vince. I NEED TO GET COLORIN'
