Monkey boy sequentials- Page 01

The story board project from last post is going strong. I started laying out thumbnails to the first part of the story. Since it will be a while until I have something worth posting on it, i thought it would be a good time to finally post a lil 3 page sequential story i did a little while ago (ive been lazy to scan 11x17s on my small little scanner). Here is page one. The other two will be here shortly.

Brush and ink vs Manga Studio 4

Heres a little behind the scenes at piece I worked on of Atom Eve. The last two images are a comparison of traditional inking versus digital inks. My crappy scanner was not quite capturing the quality I wanted of the traditional inks so I decided to pull out the ol manga studio to ink with. Ive had the program but hadn't messed with it since getting a cintiq. Suprisingly, I really liked inking with it. I treated it like traditional inking and ended up happy with the results.
I finished it up in Illustrator and actually changed the near hand which looked hella messed up on the ink versions.

Sketch Dump

Okay i could have picked a better post title. anyways, here is the warmup sketches (and one cool down sketch) for this week.

And a sketch from a while back that I forgot to post. Pencils by my artist friend Claire and inks by me. Its an inside joke stemming from the fact that i don't master the English  language. She's hilarious.

Working on pieces for the portfolio. Got inspired to fully render this one out. Now on to more pieces! It doesn't stop

A mecha self-portrait of the artist

Had time this morning to add colors to my self-portrait (kinda), which I then added to the new banner on this blog. Now to change my profile pic on all my social media outlets. As always, click image for larger view.

bday card

Again came the time to make my lil older sister a birthday card. This time, keeping with the tradition of calling back our childhood, I drew Rogue, her favorite X-Men character. The two of us with our little bro loved to watch the animated series. So here's to my sis, Happy Bday! Traditional inks cleaned up in the comp.

Life drawing sessions

This is actually a mix of the last two drawing sessions Ive been to over the last two weeks. Because of personal health issues, its been hard to get a good volume of drawings out of these sessions but at least ive been practicing the figure. Mixture of pencil, ink, and charcoal.

wall mural

Finally posting these pics even though this mural has already been painted over. RIP live/love mural. Now ima go pour some liquor for you on my driveway.

Life drawings

Went to life drawing last Thursday and sketched up some doodles. A lil rusty but hopefully that will go away with more practice.

Twitter Contest winner

I recently had my first twitter contest in celebration of having 500+ followers and I decided to send this little sketch to the winner. Quick archer sketch in my style. Blue pencil and Black ink. Shameless plug: check out Archer on FX!
