White Death

Hey bro's. I got a random sudden phone interview on thursday, about wireframes or some shit like that. And I guess I did good, so I have an in-person interview on Monday, so most of this weekend I have been building a basically brand new mobile/ ux / ui portfolio and I have not had as much time to work on this as I would have wanted. 

But I did manage to do one painting / page. Let me know what you guys think. 

Here is the actual guy, but I think my dude is more awesome looking. Also, his face is drooping because he got shot in the face, and lived. My guy is pre-face-shooting.

Bot II [fin]

Feel free to scoff at my terrible and weird gutters lmao. I'll be redoing them later. Kinda a strange place to stop, I know! Will definitely be thumbnailing 7-12 to get to the bloody parts haha;;;

Some redo of 5-6

 <3

Bot II [wip]

To be less vague:
First, this is simply an excerpt/exercise, I'm not getting crazy and making an actual comic >__>

Elm and Kingdom seek shelter in an underground city to avoid traveling in a severe sandstorm. The city was mostly evacuated because of an earthquake earlier in the story (like chapter 2, these pages take place around chapter 6).

extra unnecessary shit
Kingdom leaves Elm to go scouting because the lower levels are where the arenas + dogs/gladiators were and their trainers are pretty much assholes so only high level doods were taken. Low level and dogs in training were left behind. They're not friendly. And are just kinda creepy. and punch things. cats

how does be do comicks

BOT challenge 2

I didn't have a sketch for monday, but Im going to do a 3-4 page "demo" or "teaser" comic of the Simo Hayha aka the white death sniper guy. I wanted to do an awesomest comic about this guy killing russians (yes ironic, I know) in world war 2.

Supposedly this guy was a complete bad ass. He was defending his farm, and he killed like 500 soldiers in one winter with a non scoped hunting rifle. Eventually he was discovered and got shot in the head, but he lived through the wound and killed the guy that shot him. He made it through the war and died of old age.

Something Old, Something New

Get ready for some:

Coherent, meaningful description later. Probably.

Something old, doing it new

sketch for this challenge! I'm actually going to try and join this round! yay for imaginary free time!

Obviously old sketch is old and new sketch is bold.

BOT Challenge 2

I guess Im going to commandeer this BOT challenge for this week. We had a pretty good turn out (3 people) and I think we can try this again.

This week's topic is "Something Old, Something New"

We all have that one project that we would really like to finish one day, or revise an old piece for the portfolio. Or something that we had a lot of fun doing and would love to spend more time, but other things seem more important. For this week, look back and find something that you always promised yourself you would finish, and..... finish it!

Tuesday Sketches

Thursday WOP

It doesn't look like the critique takes as long as I though so the due date is 8:00 PM Sunday.

GET TO IT!!!!

Vulture BOT 1

Shit yeah, with 5 minutes to spare! As always, (as it was in school) I was super disappoint with the first attempt at the project, the one I was posting. Half way through it I though it looked amateurish and retarded. So after spend hours on it, I had to scrap it. I put on my big boy illustrator pants and wanted to do something that could conceivably be an illustration in an article or some shit. You know, we all want to be in the New Yorker! Im much more pleased with my second attempt. I got to talk on the phone with the last years Illustrator judge, and he told me that illustrators are important because of the concepts. Anyway, let me have it! 

Look at this poop, and laugh in my face. 

Brothers [Vulture final]

I kind of went around in circles with this until I realized it wasn't working at all and is pretty unsatisfactory all around. I had to crop most of the picture out to make this slightly presentable offering.
Sucks, but it happens! I finished it anyways.

Fucking Vultures

You know when they'll come after you.  Right before rigor mortis sets in.

Found the time, laddies!! I couldn't resist.<3

ThE VuLtures WOP.

I want to do this piece in a flat comic graphic style. I have been looking at a lot of Korean Manga/ Comics lately and I want to try a super flat anime-ish splash page of these guys crawling over some garbage. Im also flipping this bitch every 45 minutes not to get the proportions fucked.

I dont normally do line art and outlines, so Im going to refine it over and over and then ink over it, maybe even in illustrator, to get the nice crisp flat edges. Comments, suggestions, concerns?

Vulture [WIP]

Mostly I don't feel like wrangling with my scanner so there ya go. Gloomy room shot.

I had a lot of ideas with how to present/set up the comp so I might work through a couple of them but this was a moment I liked + I get to draw a lot of hands = funtimes. Don't really have much else to say, gonna just chip at it. B|

ThE VulTuReS!

The vultures! 

I dont normally do characters, but I recently went to an artist meat up meet up and wanted to show my work. I found this horribly bound book with a weird cover, and then I realized that it was my illustration 3 final project. It was a junk world, an island of trash. I want to make a scene for a possible story: comic, children's book, animation? about a group of trash people that form together a band of thieves band of adventurers. Because their whole thing is to go through garbage, they call themselves the vultures!

Vulture

Vulture ala Last Dove. They crawl out of the underworld to touch your butt gather the essence of those who have been slain. By themselves they aren't particularly dangerous but their presence tends to make people uneasy because of what they represent. Accidental deaths have been reported in their wake. Most cases involve the parties untimely demise while frantically trying to flee.

Final will probably be ink by hand and may or may not be colored. We'll see. + Environment and hopefully more clarity in the final too.

Just gonna quietly assume no one else is doing this... .

BOT Challenge Week I

 

IN HONOR OF THE BEST HOLIDAY EVER I WANNA SEE SOME SPOOKS AND CREEPY SHIT.

Le topic is THE VULTURE.
Interpret as you will: character, creature, environment, vehicle and anything in between. It should be something fully realized, don't just do a study of a vulture or anything LOL.

Tues/Wed post sketches if ya got 'em.
Work in progress on Thurs
the final should be good to go on Sat 11:59pm.

Anyway, if this is too vague I can make it more specific, I'm just fond of open-ended shit.

Rock on dudes. B|
