~ More sketches, robots, regrets, etc... ~

Full color sketch, for whatever reason. As you can see, even with the drawing taking up more than half the page, I ran out of room for the poses. Probably shouldn't worry about that and just draw outside of the frame rather than trying to get everything to "fit"...

I'm finding more and more that Winsor McCay's stuff is working its way into how I'm hitting the color schemes. Which is a good thing, I think. Now if I can actually use intensity properly to bring some kind of balance or focus to the pic...


I think I did these two thumbnails after I finished the color one. Which is pretty basakwards - in hindsight, the poses on these turned out better.

At the chalkboard, figuring out eye biochemistry. Liked how the characters' shape and form came together with fewer lines, although the hand holding the book should look more weighted from holding an object. Again, hindsight is 20/20. (Ha, get it? 20/20? With the... eye biochem... on the... chalkboard... Ah, whatever.)
And finally, the comic sketch page. High quality here, hence the sketchpad ring binding still at the top of the page....

I'm actually kind of happy that dialog is getting a bit easier for me to do - not alot of verbage, and not spending alot of time on scratch writing (typing until I get something I like). The characters are starting to have their own conversations with eachother, so to speak, without a whole lotta me getting in the way. Having a Spielberg movie on in the background helped with that I think.

~ Birthday card ... ~

A little something from a few weeks ago, given to a special someone. Hope she doesn't mind me posting it here and showing her off - supermodels tend to be shy creatures.

Inspired from one of her previous comics here. (The model owl on her table ended up becoming this after she got her talented hands on it. Full work-up and progress can be viewed here. )

Micron pens, Prismacolor pencils and markers. Did a little bit of level readjusting in PS, since the scan wasn't quite catching the original colors.
