This morning I am putting up a quick little marker rendering. I think it’s fun and has a good energy to it. I have some other things in the works and may get more out today, but I’m not sure if I can finish them so I wanted to give you this as an appetizer.
The different light sources are the little gray dots.
An attempt at shading a character from some different lighting directions, with a very rough color tossed in for fun.
This week is brought to you by watching Toy Story and Cowboys and Aliens too close together. I mean who is your favorite cowboy?
Remember, Winner Gets A No Prize!
So, it’s a Caption Contest… what’s this Troll thinking?
Here it is straight up without a background
Here we are with Rochacha serving as the backdrop.I think they should film it here.
Okay today has had a bit of frustration with my scanner going on and off, but I was able to scan something with no time left to color it.
I updated the Amazing team of Firestar, Iceman and Spidey with Cheeks’ Spectacular redesign taking 1981 to 2008 (now I’m only 5 years behind). I think it works and can’t wait to get you the color version. Until then you should print it and bust out the crayons. Then send me a pic.
Oh and since it’s our 200th post here’s a bonus pic of Poison Ivy taking over the city
This week is more bamboo practice.
The first one, that I’m not sure about
The second one, that’s not a neat but much neater.
Here are two versions of a graphic for a story idea I’ve had. I like the clean look of the first one, but not the composition. I like the composition and the rough look of the second one… I just wish it wasn’t so rough all over.
It’s an idea I’m working on for a detective story, with a twist.
Last weeks Black Cat and White Dog. I like this White Dog, but not this Black Cat.
Here’s a look at what was supposed to be last weeks Black Cat & White Dog. I like what I came up with on the fly better, although this White Dog is pretty cool.
Hulk Question
And for no reason what-so-ever… The Hulk questioning what he’s done with his life. Is smashing all there really is?
Today’s post is brought to you from my classroom. I teach a class called Scientific Imaging and one of the main goals of the class is to integrate art and science. We just studied the effects of radiation on the human body and figured out how many mrems our distance from a nuclear power plant, our altitude above sea level and the number of x-rays etc. dose our bodies with. Then, of course, we made super hero drawings.
My origin story is that a tricky student substituted my regular pen with one that was filled with radioactive ink. Just as a I was attaching the F to a subpar assignment I poked myself and was transformed into a red raging maniac. Now whenever I see an assignment that is not passing I mutate and destroy!
We also talked about how super heroes and villians often come from the things we fear so we tied it back in. There’s more A-team on the way!
Today I had a plan, then I left my plan in the car and so I did a quick redraw. So here’s the new, new Black Cat & White Dog. Black Cat ended up a lot better, White Dog… not so much.
Their first big fight.
Black Cat is an American astronaut that’s capsule crash landed on White Dog’s farm. He is a Russian farmer. The two of them have many reasons to dislike one another.
