Abe of Spades











Monkey of Clubs











and Demon of Thoughts











Those are from a weird drawing I started yesterday. They all have different suits. (Pun-tastic!)

Man, the last few days have been weird. I couldn't really leave or go anywhere or anything so I was stuck here.

The drawing started from me watching Pink Floyd The Wall, which probably wasn't a good idea. Like I said, the last few days have been a little off. It's pretty much just me waiting on not hurting anymore. I think I've been in a constant cold sweat for the last 72-96 hours.

It was also going to have Michigan J. Frog in it. I don't really know why I took him out. It does have a skeleton with arms that I'm very proud of though.

Anyway, I think it's a little of The Wall, Timelord, and me. I didn't want to spend more than a day on it, so I just sort of colored what I wanted and stopped. Plus, I think I'm through with it. Not that it's finished, just that I'm through with it.

And here's a moon thing I found in a newspaper a long time ago. I kept the clipping from. I don't know why I added it, why not, I guess.









I can't wait to run again. I'm thinking I should wait till I can walk again though.

Cover

I did this cover a while ago. I'm so behind on everything, I can't believe I'm just getting to this. Everyone in charge was flexible, so I pretty much did whatever I wanted. Its double sided ; the back cover is the other side's view of the front. There wasn't much behind it, other than I don't remember seeing a two sided cover like that and wanted to. (I'm sure it's not the first, I'm just saying I haven't seen one) I'm pretty happy with it, not because I think it's great, but that it looks as good as it does given the tiny bit of time I had to do it in. There wasn't much planning. This is all of the planning and prep work that took place before it was drawn-  Despite the stamp, this was not drawn on July 26. It's been long enough now that I can look with fresh eyes. I'm pretty happy with how the hands turned out. And from looking at the sketches, it's because I got them right in the sketches; the ha

Drawing Table Tuesday

Image
 Lately, (the last few days), I've been researching color. I won't get into it, I'll probably get around to it eventually thought, but I really don't like contemporary comic book coloring. Not to say I don't like it all, there are some people that make amazing stuff, but I think a lot of it looks like crap. So it never really interested me much except that I should at least be able to put some sort of color on things and be halfway satisfied. Lately, the more satisfied I am with a drawing, the more I'm like, "Hmm... I should at least be able to color this if I had to, and still like it." So, I sort of cleared away everything everyone else does, started fresh, and decide how I want to color things. There's a long rant/essay on style (that I've been thinking about a lot recently because of some reprints I've gotten a while back) that I'm skipping that'll I'll probably get to eventually, but I decided that the coloring I

10 YEAR POST

Image
It's been 10 years since I made the first post on this blog. And it's been about 3 years since the last post. I guess I felt obligated to address 10 years passing. Feeling a little sullen, I suppose. So, I'm mustering through with this impromptu post. I'm preparing to change gears, mentally. I think up till now  over the last 10 years, my aim, even if just unconsciously, was to get better at drawing. Forwarding the skill, without giving much thought to marketing it.  In hindsight, not much thought to went to furthering a career in drawing, just honing the skill- which is the mindset I'm trying to change. I like to believe I succeeded in achieving the goal; I feel like I draw better than ten years ago. So, in that, I feel successful, but it feels ... dry . Flat. I've been wondering, have I been too obsessed with becoming better? Has that one goal blinded me to what could have been other, more significant gains? I don't know. Maybe. Mayb
