The first two

This past week I have been working on my scriptwriting homework and I stared drawing up the characters. I am hoping that I can create this into a web comic during the summer when I have more time to do what I want.
I started with the main character, Adam, and his 'love interest' Colette, whom was created by a good friend of mine. I decided to remove Adam's hat for the time being, mostly due to laziness :)

anyways, that's all I have to show you guys this week, Hopefully I will have more for you next week.

Let me know what you think!

Wolf in sheeps clothing

I've recently come across a few bumps in the road of my life that have left me with so many mixed emotions and have also given me a new view on how the world actually works.

Needless to say I have been quite unmotivated to do much of anything but draw as much and as fast as I can, and hope everything works out for the better.

But more art means more stuff to show on my Blog.

First up, something that I whipped up together fairly fast. The client wanted me to draw 20 of my own characters in a Chibi style and I threw in the background for free as a show of good faith since he has been a repeat customer of mine. I feel a bit bad that I had to rush on it, but the client liked it nonetheless.


And over here I have some sketches that I did for a friend... and Also because I needed some sketchbook examples. My friend wanted me to come up with the werewolf form of her Dungeons and Dragons character, Desmond. I think it game out ok. Im not too used to drawing animals haha.

The Grave

The internet here has been down for the last few days, made it a bit hard to post this up when I wanted to, ah well.

Today I am showing off some concept sketches for a webcomic that I am planing on working on in the summer when I have more free time. I dont have a name for it just yet, "the Grave" is just a working title for it, though I am kind of liking it.

In these sketches I was working on all the kinds of scars that the protagonist has all over his body from doing his job. The poor lad has to fight off necromancers and keep them out of the graveyard that he looks after.

And the other guy would be the main villain.... I haven't put too much thought into him just yet, his overall design maaaay change. I havent even given him a name yet @_@ (any suggestions?)

Anyways, that's all for now.

Land of Pulse and Haze

Lately, I have come across a particular webcomic that goes by the name of Homestuck that I have been raving about these last few weeks.

It is thoroughly enjoyable and it is done in a completely different way then traditional comics go. (It even has its own set of music albums)
The Author/Artist really thought outside the box for this one guys, it is really worth the read :)

So, because I like the story so much, I decided to put together a little piece of fanart of one of the main characters, Karkat. I personally had a lot of fun drawing this picture, especially the background. Come to think of it, I have never done a picture before were I have enjoyed drawing the background more then I enjoyed drawing the character :o

Enjoy~

Tentacles ahoy!

Woah boy, here we go with the blog thing all over again, haha. (And look, I have more followers even before I posted anything up yet, sweet)

For now I will just throw up a line art that I am working on for a client. I have so many anatomical mistakes on this one @_@ but luckly I have a friend willing to help me out with the fixings tomorrow (to tired to work on this anymore)
Surprisingly, this time I was asked to draw all of my characters, which I have got to say... is an amazing thing to be doing, I get to go back and re-vamp all these characters that I haven't really touched in the last two-three years.

But for now, lets talk about this one shall we?

Here we have the sea nymph Savaan and her lovely jellyfish hat, Barnacles.
Now, when I first made these characters back in 2008, it was suppose to be a joke character, NPC for some Dungeons and Dragons game that never happened.
Savaan doesent talk, Barnacles does all the talking for her. Come to think of it, Barnacles does EVERYTHING for her. Not that Savaan is lazy or anything, Barnacles just has a control complex about him and he always seems to think that whatever Savaan does, she is doing it wrong... all the time. (so mean! :'< )

If you are really interested in seeing the first pictures done of her, hop on over HERE.
