Round 1:
Ninja with shading:
That one was pretty fun.
Here’s another, a mutliple color study with light/shadow done in airbrush:
A bit smaller and rougher, this one took half the time of the first.
If you plan on using these images, please include a link to this site in your materials.
Hi world! Long time no post. A while back, I promised images/daily webcomic. I got meself a scanner! (woot).
Anyway, I have images. they’re included in this post and up for review from you, the world (wide web). These images are open content, just please cite me as the author.
Four figure studies counter clockwise: character with blades, spidey variant, lady martial artist, lady with blades
An excerise in perspective, proportion, and figure.
A slave islander breaking free from his captors in the melodramatic adventure tale tradition, with a postcolonial twist
The figure group took about 5 minutes per figure (if that).
The suit took 10 minutes: circles, outlines, face, fingers, clothes, suitcase, heavier overlay lines.
The freedom image took about an hour, with the same process being used as the suit, but with more overlay and detailing. I know this time more precisely because I spent a music ethnography class working on it. Yeah… I don’t doodle when I doodle…
Questions/comments/ concerns? Let me know.
Well, when I said ‘daily posts,’ I had meant daily posts.
Anyway, I’ll be getting back on track this weekend. Still have some lovely pages to write for some certain classes in which I may or may not have some overdue work. Let the good times roll!
I’ll be working on getting ideas together for a daily superhero comic that I’ll start posting in a few months. I’m kicking around ideas for some fun characters:
A metal suit powered hero with a sword that comes out of his helmet.
A superhero with ridiculously huge hands
The Uber Hero trapped in a block of concrete
Various Parody heroes, pun heroes, and spins on common super powers.
Now it’s back to music and theatrical studies!
So after a few posts that have been generally infrequent and rather all-over- -the-place, I’ve decided that I need to figure out what my blog’s going to be about.
I don’t like blogging for its own sake, so I figure I’ll use this thing as a means of furthering my interests and myself.
I won’t be any Perez Hilton, but…
Let’s figure this out:
goals for the year:
– daily posting: shorter posts, link to twitter, link to facebook, yada yada
– ads! I should get some of those…
– themes: what are my focus areas? I think, as I mentioned, they’re my interests: theatre, art, architecture, design, the green movement, and space travel/exploration/colonization, philosophy. Now, all of those tie in pretty well except… theatre. Yeah, I know. Funny, it’s my major.
– get a scanner: upload comics! yay webcomic! I think I’ll do one on Superheroes… I can upload commission-able art samples in watercolor, pastel, pencil, and pen.
– get a tablet PC: simply draw and edit images on da computah.
– figure out what my real job will be while I get this started up…
– network: have a whole mess of buddies who advertise me while I advertise them.
okay, I think that should do it for goals. Of course, these will get more specific. But for today, it’s a good laundry list (grocery list?)
for now, my basic q: this website will be about using art and philosophy to help further mankind, and to make the idea of space exploration and efficient living ‘hip.’
