The beginning of...something?

So yea two days in a row! Wow!

I'm almost a real person now.

Almost.

I should probably stop writing in sentence fragments and not be such good friends with the return key if I want to be considered a real person.

I'm safe for now.

Anyways, I started a new painting last night and this is what it looked like in the morning.



This might look familiar to you, especially if you read this blog with any frequency at all (like at least as much as I update it). Instead of posting the image of the drawing I did of it you can just scroll through the past posts and find it. Or you can can go to my facebook page and read the blog there too!

Seriously it's not hard. The link is right on the top right side of the page. No excuses. No one is that fat or lazy.

Speaking of being lazy, I just got around to downloading a bunch of the Black Keys albums. Holy crap. So good. I highly recommend it.

On the other hand while painting this I was listening to Salt the Wound.

ARGH!

Holy jeebus. I totally forgot to update this thing. I've been drawing!

I swear!

I swear on my puppy's life!

Anyone who knows how unhealthily obsessed I am with my dog will know that I'm not kidding around. I mean it.

Anybody want a peanut?

Princess Bride references...yea. It's been a while. This isn't all of it, but it is all of my sketchbook. Anyways let me step aside and put my artwork where my mouth is.

Hey now...

So it's been a while, but again I swear I've been drawing.

A lot actually.

Stuff happens in life and it's not all sunshine, rainbows, and puppies. When stuff happens I tend to escape into drawing and painting, I let my subconscious deal with whatever my problem is because I'm not smart enough in real life to figure it out. However that 90% of my brain that I'm not using is a goddamn genius.

But I digress.

As you may have noticed over on the right hand side of your screen is my twitter account (which I just started using) so feel free to follow me.

Since I've been doing mostly digital work for a video game on the computer which are all .fla's it's kinda impossible for me to post 'em here. Once I have a link I will post the game so you can play it. I'm also working on a new comic that's been a lot of fun, which I'll post in a bit.

In the meantime here's some album artwork for my friend Steve's band Jettison. Enjoy!





And here's some for another friends Deathcore band in Florida.

It's been a while,

But I have a reason! I've been incredibly busy drawing for this video game I'm helping to make (doing the character sketches and everything)

If you want to see me stream my desktop follow this link! Once I figure out how to embed it I'll do that here as well.

Test drive

So in my last update I posted sketches for character concepts. The only one I like is Marcel (the one who was inked) the others didn't quite work for me but I have an idea of what it's gonna be.

Anyways so now this game is going to be a web based game so we're going to be using Flash, a program I've been wanting to use for the year I've had it (got CS3 pro last winter) but never actually learned. Now I have to learn it, and learn it fast, and more importantly learn how to draw in Flash. Using a Wacom tablet (intuos3), which is something I've NEVER done before (actually bought it just for this project and I love it), I did 2 work ups of Marcel.

I'm gonna post 2 versions of the same mock-up, one with layers and the other with just 1 layer. Then last I'll re-post the Marcel drawing.

Ooops!

I know! I know!

I'm sorry!

I promised more updates that would come more frequently (like instead of that gap between October and February). Then only one update last week? Really?! What's that all about?

Laziness, and trying to get back on the wagon.

So enough of that, what follows are the concept drawings for a video game that I am working on about Zombies. God I love Zombies. Anyways nothing is set in stone yet and everything might change between now and then but I drew 'em.

The one guy who's leaning funny, yea, I hate that drawing but still it's all gonna be up here.

Love it or hate it, leave me a message and lemme know how you feel! Thanks.

Wow, it's been a minute.

Ok. So it's been a while right? I've got a ton of excuses and they're all valid, but they're still just excuses. All technical ones, I'll list them off numerically.

1) My computer stopped recognizing my scanner.
2) My computer stopped working as anything other than a web browser and mp3 player.
3) I got a new computer. YAY!
4) New computer wouldn't recognize the old scanner because it was 6 years old and had no new drivers.
5) Because I bought the new computer, I was too poor to buy a new scanner. I swear this is a technical reason, because the numbers in my bank account wouldn't correspond to the numbers on a new scanner's price tag.

Now there are outside reasons, like a new school year, tenure, girl issues, blahblahblah. No one cares, but I'm back with a vendetta!

However, I'm going to start you guys off slowly.

Then I'll start spamming you with images. First, the drawing I did for a competition at school, then some really crappy cell phone pictures of other stuff I've worked on.




Thanks!
