Honor Among Thieves

Always start a project...

2012-02-15T00:40:00.000-08:00

Once you realize the two week project deadline is tomorrow...

Jackson's Design 1 class is starting to feel like...digital painting... Except with illustrator.
I HATE VECTORIZING LOGO's but after the video game sleeve I got the hang of it.

Viscom submissions

2012-02-09T23:22:00.000-08:00

Okay I wanted to get everyones opinion, I've been spending the past few days and nights replacing sleep time with work time... and using all the extended due dates to really deliver some polished products for my portfolio and the viscom show. I was wondering if I could have your opinion on this cover art for the video game from illustration 3.

This is the PS3 version I am currently formatting the 360 version....

Im a fucking awful artist...

2012-02-09T18:02:00.000-08:00

You want to play a game? Its called guess which images were made by a loading crayons into a shotgun and firing it at a wall, and which of these "art pieces" I made 2009?

Here is a hint, I don't have a shotgun. Jesus christ.

Grats, What shawncie showed as her middle school work, was my stuff in freshmen year of college.

And thats why, you never ever ever ask me to stop drinking...

Resume Feedback?

2012-02-09T09:21:00.000-08:00

Hey, guys, I thought it'd be cool to share my resume and get some feed back. The Resume is an all in one envelope, where the flaps function to close the resume and also hold illustrations. From all the other resumes I've seen this is really really different... I hope that is okay, but we'll see.

So far the only annoying part of this is the fact it's a bit bigger than your normal letter size. But it is definitely handy. Figuring out the digital coloring is a bit of a pain but I think I like how it's coming out. No detering from the linework. I think I need to downsize the font a little more as well.

Anyhow, let me know what you think! This is only the inside of the envelope.

2012-02-08T21:43:00.000-08:00

I know this has been going around, but it is always relevant. Keep drawing.

yup

Phoenix Comicon

2012-01-31T23:00:00.000-08:00

Here we go people.

May 24th-27th 2012.

I registered as a potential Exhibitor as Awesome Team. All the inline tables are gone. We can get either an artist alley table at $229(31 left) or a corner booth at $599 (50 Left)
Either one will come with three tickets and we can buy more at 35$. They all come with two chairs, but Im sure we can bring our own chairs and whatnot.

The more people we get, the cheaper it will come out for everyone involved. So at 4 people the artist alley table will be (229 + 35)/4=$66 where the corner table (599 + 35)/4=$158.5

The tables are going away everyday so we have to make a decision, and we have to do it soon. I am willing to buy the artist alley table, and get paid back, but I am not going to drop $600 without knowing who is going and getting some reassurance or money up front.

Lets figure out if we are doing this, sometime by this weekend so we can either register, or not. If you guys don't want to do a table, I am perfectly happy to go to the con as attendees, and if we do that we can buy the tickets there, because last time all the assholes that preregistered were standing in a longer line than the ones that bought the tickets on site.

I sent out a text and Ill send out another one, so people will look at this information and actually respond.

New website...

2012-01-29T09:55:00.000-08:00

Ok, well as (atleast) Sergei and Shawncee noticed, I put up some new images on my devart page. Alongside that, I made my first "portfolio" website.

I do not intend to keep it long-term, but it's the easiest way for me to get my portfolio online atm. Eventually, I hope to have one designed with my own aesthetics and imagery.

Until then, I guess I'd like to know what you guys think?

The fact that these two are the same character sums up everything about my art ever LOL

Because NDA was lifted on these....

2012-01-17T23:25:00.000-08:00

Hey everybody! Hell Yes, after a meeting for Local game development it was announced that all the art made over the break will not be used for the game. So I later got the confirmation from the project lead that because of that fact, NDA has been lifted on this specific batch of art. So sweet get to do some sharing :) let me know what you guys think :)

Clément Sauvé, RIP one year later

2012-01-12T20:22:00.000-08:00

For those who never saw, Clément Sauvé . Awesome character artist and conceptual artist for TV, comics, and video games, he died at the age of 33 to cancer. He entered comics working as an assistant to Yanick Paquette but made his own mark with pencils on projects including G.I Joe, JLA Secret Files, Stormwatch, and the fondly remembered Human Defense League. Most recently he had been working in character design.

Sidenote: super bummed I didn't save every piece of art on his website as it is no longer up. they were so good. You can still see his art for G.I. Joe Renegade at his deviantart page. http://clementsauve.deviantart.com/

2012-01-10T22:00:00.000-08:00

weeeping cause this is gonna take forever even if I'm keeping it kind of blocky? I don't really like doing heavy rendering, I decided, haha.

So yeah, despite the designs in my sketchbook, I'm still tightening the looks on the characters. Baaaaaaahhhh.

2012-01-04T12:36:00.000-08:00

Hey happy belated new year everyone!!! I've always wanted to do one of these but only after I felt I've gotten to where I wanna go. Now that I have, I finally get to do one! So this is when I started public highschool to where I've gotten. Almost in the real world scary but exciting.

To those of you working on COMIC: SCARY TRAIN (oh snap, just had another title Fright Train!!! Play on the word freight...) I'll see you in music building library Thursday noon!

2012-01-02T00:39:00.000-08:00

okay this is the page template...the black is the boarder we can decide on final color later.

This is set up how it should look when drawn at 7.2" x 11" then we bring it down to 6.875" x 10.5".

I also need your emails and I can send the photoshop file.

WIP

2011-12-23T01:43:00.000-08:00

Here are some concepts for an article illustration in steam punk magazine

Linchpins

2011-12-21T19:16:00.000-08:00

Lets have anywhere from 3 to 6 lynch pins that will tie the stories together. Sort of have them in a chronological order, and they will make up a timeline that the reader will use to figure out when things are happening.

Possible lynch pins / events:

Going through a bunch of tunnels
A shoot out between the armed and the monsters
Train hitting a bump and shaking up for a few moments
Somebody Screaming
Windows breaking
A train cart getting disconnected (People in that cart could be their own perspective)
Some sort of preacher spitting out religious verses
Emergency breaks screeching
Somebody or Something standing on the tracks
Or somebody or something standing along the rails (Like a creepy girl waving at the train as it rolls by)
A one liner that somebody yells out (Like a Sam. Jackson type of tough guy saying: "Ive had it with these motherfucking monsters on this motherfucking train." Or another type of one liner like: "You think you're bad? WELL SAY HELLO TO MY SIX CHAMBERED COLD STEEL ANGEL OF DEATH *blam* *BLAM* *BLAM*.

Anyway, lets figure out a few of them and put em in a chronological order so we can get the scripts written!

Layout Pages

2011-12-21T18:49:00.000-08:00

I really like the way Brett Weldele lays our his pages in the Surrogates. I actually used it as a model for some of my other comic books.

Lars Martinson's tonoharu is also pretty simple. His books are often long and sort of drawn out, but there is something in the monotony of his layouts that allows him to tell a story like a book, no splash pages, just to the story of loneliness and isolation.

Eleanor Davis also does interesting comics. She mostly does children's books, and I don't think that our project fits that description, but her layouts are always in a strict grid like environment that looks good on a page.

Also Ill probably lose points in everyones books but Ben Templesmith's 30days of night was also an interesting comic. When he's not going full retard on the splash pages, his layouts and grids are often really nice.

Shaun Tan (not shawn ten, who is some sort of gymnast hottie according to google image search) the arrival was also wordless and very nice.

Samura is still king

2011-12-21T00:32:00.000-08:00

Ahh, there are so so so many good comics floating around. Anyway, as far as paneling goes, Takeru is one of my absolute favorites because of his simplicity.

And, of course Hiroaki Samura (no I will never stop adoring him everever what a master)

He's also very simple in his panels and saves spreads for really epic shit that blows your pants off. Above is the flow of panels that Telophase drew.

Yo, Thought you might like this work in progress on a driver for my game proposal...
I'm probably going to get rid of the background cause it's not quite working for me, too busy. slowly but surely working down the figure and then the helmet :) will more than likely run into problems with the legs. hmmmm

studio space

2011-10-05T11:22:00.000-07:00

Hey gang ( last time ever that ill address you like that )

I have been doing ~~research~~ googling about studio spaces in tucson. From what I gathered, there are not that many of em out there.

So far only 2 places responded to my calls / emails.

Splinter Brothers& Sisters is a warehouse that have some office space. However they have some hard core welders and grinders ( not strippers ).
Their space is run by a lady from L.A. and she sounds cool. She said that as students, she will rent out the smaller room for 100+$ and I'm guessing the bigger room would be slightly more. the place is at 901n 13th Avenue, Tucson az 85705

The other place seems nicer, its at 748 N. Stone. The guy sounds king of like a dick in his email. He will rent us a room at $ 300 but it has wifi and utilities included. That space is 19x10 with "common" spaces, skylight, and a patio.

I just got done talking to another guy. He said that he has 4 buildings and he has studios ranging from $140-$300, and he was raving about the $300. It has a huge fucking window and a private entrance. After digital illustration, he is willing to drive us around to show us the buildings and the spaces.

So on friday we need to see all these places and figure out which one we want. It sounds like all of them are pretty lax and don't require a lease, so we would be able to go on monthly by monthly basis.

Just so you know, here is the break down
7 people (everyone) splitting 300 $ place is $42.85
6 people $50
5 people (for example me, josh, seta, colin, and bonana) $60 or price of going out 3 times

Basically it sounds expensive, but if we split it, it will be cheaper. Plus, were always looking for a place to hang out and do work.

Don't run with fire

okay finally finished this shit with sara welland, took all night but I think it turned out all right.
let me know what you guys think....this is that crazy. Phil Zimmerman is out sick and didn't show up so no school till 2pm...which is a critique. AWESOME!!! keep on kicking out this art shit it's awesome!

More WOP

2011-10-04T00:10:00.001-07:00

Im worried bout this work, because I want to do the very first one right, and then Im sure Ill have more leeway and Ill do whatever the fuck I want.

I took bo's suggestion and increased the portrait size. I also tried to make more darker color. Im sort of running into trouble with the portrait hanging mid air. Because I really like the atmospheric feeling of the robot, but the portrait has to hang from somewhere,

ffffffffffffffffffffffff

Oh my shit, the convention kicked my ass but it was so much fun and so humbling and nice and warm fuzzies ahoy ; ;. I got two comic book offers, a story book one and asked to be interviewed (which I declined because I'm a nervous mess whatwhat) I'm so derpy as usual and forgot to photograph most of my commissions.. I was seriously struggling to finish them all on Sunday. LOL. Here is a small fraction of them, ect:

Oh yes! By the way, there is another convention coming up in Tucson at the beginning of November (5th-6th). It's Tucson Comic Con! One of the artists recommended this show to me so it'll be my first time attending and selling at a table there. It is unbelievably cheap if you just wanna attend ($3 for the day or $5 for both days). And I am more than happy to let you guys chill at my table/take commissions/sell prints/pretty much whatever. ♥

No class Tuesday

2011-10-03T03:55:00.001-07:00

Ok, so.. for anyone who hasn't checked their catmail, David cancelled Tuesday's class also. Apparently he's in Pittsburg while his dad is getting placed in hospice care.

Anyway, he's posted a new (revised) schedule for the Game/Sequential project.

...just a head's up.

Steam Punk Magazine illustration

2011-10-02T17:37:00.001-07:00

David's FLASH assignment

2011-10-01T03:45:00.000-07:00

I realize this is late, but oh well.

In lieu of Thursday's sketchbook topic, and since we had such an off week due to David's absence, I figure we simply embrace the topic David provided us since it's due Tuesday anyway!

The topic he gave is "Bird Calling Competition".

I imagine everyone will have made atleast 1 variant sketch for this assignment, so they can use that if they want, otherwise just post what you intend to turn in to David on Tuesday.
