TMNT Pinup

tales of tmnt 56 and tales of tmnt 59 have kept me VERY busy there's a complete walthrough from rough to color comp on the cover for tales 59 and a sneak peek at some of 56 which will be out in a couple months

My First Animation

I had so much fun doing this for the titmouse studio 5 sec animation day. I REALLY love animation , and seeing the drawings come to life. I used pencil homebrew, then timed it in flash and my multi-disciplined talented buddy Keith Yan http://www.flickr.com/photos/shadowedlab/ put the sound together

bottom pieces: dave johnson did some cool cardboard illustrations so i gave it a shot awhile back
piece is troo big too scan and the lighting was horrible so crappy photo
when i take it home someday i'll take a better pic i have a better detail coming
sharpie on card
the top piece :last drink and draw i think i ended up doing most of my sketches for the nice hosts
but i like the idea of having a big sheet to try and fill up i'll fill it up next time and maybe start another one

Drink and Draw

finally went to the drink and draw
fun and merriment

1000 color

messing around with some different color techniques

1000 Renewal

 i did this sketch of an old character i created, her name is 1000

warming up before getting into the storyboards

YEA.

both in one week who could ask for anything more?

Rider

i had this simple idea after seeing this motor cyclist with a silver helmet

the look is a very typical Japanese hero type of thing but I was surprised when I watched red baron, an old Japanese giant robot show (live action) to see the villains were almost identical to this black suits, silver gloves and boots but they had a cooler more alien robot head

Digital Brushes

i like this even though it's kind of creepy

just toying around with making some photoshop brushes, looking to replicate that painterly look and texture of colors scrubbed into and onto other colors

Nibs Pens and The Big Brush

this weekend while battling a cold just strong enough to keep me fairly foggy headed i went to the graphaids 40% off everything sale and spent too much money. those awesome nibs looked so cool with the old timey graphics I bought a whole bunch, for a dollar a box it was a steal, and they are awesome. Craig Nelson one of my painting instructors in school would always insist on using brushes you think are too big for the job, i've been using that approach with my inking and i like it.

the big piece was my scratch pad underneath my pages that ink, usually testing the line of the different nibs as well as wiping off excess ink before brushing. I tested out a fairly big Japanese calligraphy brush and this was the resulting sketch...painting with ink is very fun

MINOTAUR

a work in progress cardboard sketch. I usually paint these cardboard drawings but maybe not with this one, I'd totally lose all the detail not much room to paint the form

some old sketchbook stuff and a wurmler of the west title illustration for the follow up I never got to for flight anthology

Life Drawing

Titmouse my current workplace had a great workshop last night , Sylvain directed it. We had several short poses where we focused on continuous line never lifting the the pen(i was using pen) and finding where lines meet on the body for instance the arm meeting the torso. I hadn't done it in a while but it was a lot of fun from bottom to top is the general progression of the night the title of each piece indicates time and excercise
