Character Design

I've been trying to "find" one of the main characters in my graphic novel. This stage of the process feels alot like casting a film (I would guess), trying to figure out who has the right look to capture what I want in the characters. There is one amongst these that i think fits the bill. The rest will probably find themselves casts as side characters or extras as the story develops.

On a side note, I've been quite preoccupied with a variety of work, chores, and responsibilities lately, and my postings have been slow, but work on the book continues. I've been realy happy with some of the developments as I've been doing layouts and thumbnails, which pretty much is my writing process (as opposed to typing out a script). With luck, I'll be able to keep my head above water with "life in general" and not over-extend myself on additional freelance, and the book will really start to come together over the next couple of months.

Peeping Tom

Went to go see Peeping Tom live last night, and it was amazing. Here's an image of frontman Mike Patton that I found recently. It was done about about 6 or 7 years ago. I had nearly forgotten about it when I found it, so what a nice surprise that was. This piece was done on clayboard, with a white gesso base, and india ink with wash. 11"x14''

Daydream Comics

Here is a drawing my brother did to use as the header for his blog at www.daydreamcomics.com. He asked for help coloring it, and I took advantage of the chance to practice my digital painting. I like the progress, but I feel I have a long way to go until I'm really confident as a painter. Keep an eye on his blog for the final piece, which might have my colors, or his own.

Superman Returns!

I saw Superman Returns the other day, and I loved it! I was inspired to bang out these marker sketches, with a touch of white paint. Also, I finally learned how to add links, so go check out my brother Matt's new blog Daydream Comics, as well as the talented Mr. Doug Lovelace! More to come!

Brush Pen!

A few life drawings done in the studio. I've been making use of brush pens in my sketchbooks and life drawings and I absolutely love them.

Cheers!
