More Basketball Player

In case you couldn't tell, I really enjoy drawing this guy. I can just imagine his wierd, obsessive personality in my head.

He is someone I probably would have avoided in high school.

Also, similar to one of my mentors, I seem to not like to finish anything beyond a sketch. I don't know why, but it might be because I am trying to capture a feeling, or the gesture, or the movement, rather than a nice drawing.

Or maybe I am lazy and/or have ADD.






Also, I find it interesting how different he looks since I first drew him like a month ago.

'Nother Sketcheroo

Hey.

Man, I have been slacking this past week, but I did do a fun little sketch of my new best friend, the nameless basketball player.

You may notice that I did this on newsprint, which is what I use to draw on at the figure drawing club, which I obviously was not feelin' that night.

It's tough, man. I know that artists get into ruts, but for the last six months, I feel like nothing I come up with is exciting. It's infuriating that I come up with the Tykings, or the ol' "All Night Dinah" short, or I come up with anythng else and after a week, think to myself, "Eh, it's ok."

Here's hoping this doesn't last much longer. I have some projects coming up that I am involved in, so hopefully that will rekindle my passion. Don't get me wrong, I still want to pursue my ideas, but I don't know if right now is the time.

So enjoy this drawing, and I'll catch ya on the flipside.

Haunted House

Boo!

So, I was going for a creepy, or disturbing, or scary, or unsettling look to this little piece. The monochromatic palette is heavily influenced by certain scenes in the epicly long 1980's anime, Urusei Yatsura.

I watched an episode involving a ghost cat-person, and there was a shot of the city using the same greys and whites, and I thought that it was effective in creating a creepy mood.

So of course, I wanted to try it myself! I added the red just to really turn it up a bit, and make it.... Macabre?

Enjoy!

Free Throw Sketch

Yo.

So I was sitting in front of the boob tube and came up with this. I kinda dig it.

Comrade Color Variations

Yo.

Just like last night, here is a modified version of an old piece. New stuff coming soon, I promise!

Rebound Colored Version 2

Hey!

Long time no post! I got a Flash animation job! So far it's pretty awesome.

Anyway, just a tiny update tonight. Here is another colored version of Rebound. Inked and colored in Flash, and I added a different background, and took out the word bubble.

Next up on my list of revisions: Some different color palettes of The Comrade!



PS: I finished my boards for the epic battle between Comrade and Fat Cat Capitalist. I will be assembling them into a reel sometime soon. I just need to get voices! :)

Sketches Ahoy!

Yo.

After talking to Joe yesterday, I tried doing some sketches in a different sort of style. Here are some results. You will notice the clown appears twice. The first version was on my own, and the second one was a touch up version after Joe pointed some stuff out.

Thanks Joe!
