ALL NIGHTER ART!

There is more to come of this later, but for now, I have a comic that really shows the darkness of my character. The story is written on the thing itself, so you can see it there. I was up late drawing small panel comics about video games, and was able to shift into this one. It still amazing me how much faster is is to work on a machine like the cintiq.

Business Cards!

WELL. I certainly had a hard time designing this today. It is my first step towards being a "professional" illustrator. The quotations can be removed when I have a degree in fine arts. (don't hold your breath...ha...ha ha.) But that's alright. I'm branching out, meeting new people, and really getting a chance to put myself out there with Paperlinks. The next task now is really about making a comic that I can, GASP, sell for profit, and use it to promote PL's program. It is quite an endeavor, especially with all the other things going on in my life, but EH. I think I'm gonna pull through.

Paperlinks fun time!

Well, alot of really fun things have been happening in the past few weeks. I was able to hit up Zinefest and see my friends I know there, and make some new ones! Thanks to Stephanie, I get invites to really cool local soirees filled with creativity and hilarious times! The whole thing is ever so inspiring, and makes me wanna come home and art HARD. The Cintiq has opened new doors for me comic wise, and I'm very excited about the kind of work I'm able to produce with such a wonderful tool!

This is for the stand alone story I'm working on for this month's paperlinks. Before, a page like this would have taken me probably 6 hours to complete. I took only 3. As I get better, I'm sure I will get faster. I really want to create an almost storybook like feel, but with adult characters and themes. Hopefully my studies of Mary Blaire's work will help me get a feel for simplistic beauty. I may have to find some brushes for Photoshop that will really give me that gouache look!

CINTIQ CINTIQ CINTIQ!

Well, I am certainly having fun with my new toy, the CINTIQ! It really is a wonderful device! It makes digital coloring so much easier! Not only that but Xtra Large Gal is now going to make the leap to digital work! Painting is still proving to be interesting, but I really think that I'll be able to do some great stuff soon! My first real experience with color was this drawing I did for Luis' birthday!
Also, Ru, Breena and I have finally started discussing the comic we will be doing together, which was BRILLIANTLY named Kith and Kin. YEAH RUTH, YEAH THESAURUS! It is going to be our attempt to bring Anthros and People together in a comic! It's gonna be awesome. I did some concept art for my story's characters in that world!

Hopefully, I'll be able to post my first part of my written work as well! Misael's chapter is going to come together soon, and edited by Hayley, if I can seem to get it going on time! More later~~~! Thanks Mom. <3.
