on the topic of character design... super old stuff from the now disbanded weekly sketch jam. i think the topic for this one was to redesign a video character. i think this was a spin on devil may cry's dante since that guy's devil trigger form has as much broken continuity as a hawk man's backstory .

holy fucking shit. i need to go wash the taste of nerd out of my mouth after that.

but seriously. i would love to be able to draw more gnarly monsters.

hoy hoy campers!

so the first issue of turning tiger is done and dusted. no idea when it's going to hit shelves since i think it's still with the letterer for the time being. in the mean time though, some rough stuff. this is already up over at renegade arts but what the hell. this place needs an update that isn't from my moleskin.

charater designs for the robert and rebecca. this pair are pretty polar in terms of personality. really wanted to try and bring that...

... i'm sorry. i just flipped on divine comedy's casanova album and it's that particular brand of awesome that totally derails your brain and demands every once of your attention.

or maybe i just can't multitask.

so a couple of weeks ago a couple of us went to this music festival thing called gocstock. it was a pretty small affair but has me convinced that if you own a sizable amount of land, it's your god given duty to use it to host a music festival once a year. there was a tone of awesome people and bands, one of which was this dude going by tatterrattles. if you've got a moment, give his myspace a look -> http://www.myspace.com/tatterattlesmusic

did you know that the first music festival on record were held at the pythian games at delphi?

#THE MORE YOU KNOW!#

unused panel from the comic. there are a whole bunch of these because someone thought it would be a REALLY awesome idea to not pass the rough layouts by the editor and go straight into coloring.

there's a mistake that's not going to be repeated any time soon.

on that note, there's a page up at the renegade arts website about turning tiger! go check it out, along with all the other crazy cool stuff they've got there -> http://www.renegadeartsentertainment.com/news/?p=220

rough stuff left over from the last issue of folio. i did not have my thinking cap on that day.

blargh. i sat down to colour page 17 and for some reason i ended up speed painting the clouds outside.

in my defense, they were very pretty clouds.

inspired by folk on the tube. i think this was partly to prove to my self that i can draw body types other than emaciated (chick on the left being a prime example of that)

god. drawing pissy, shouty men has got to be one of my favorite things in the world.

aaaaand that's that for fortunes luck for the time being. that is unless i can learn how to bend the fabric of space and time any time soon because there so aren't enough hours in the day right now.

bwah, this page is meant to com before the previous post but i guess if you're scrolling through this, posting things backwards actually makes way more sense.

huh. convenient.

anyhoo, more pirate related shenanigans. we're almost through. i promise.

aaaaand more pages from the pirate comic.

i'm particularly enjoying the physics of the diving.
