Alice; Testing

I'm putting together a new illustration portfolio. The last year all I've done is work for Benthic and none of my portfolio shows what I can actually do. Also, my color work is rusty, and I love color. I've just been cranking out stuff today, and heres some stuff I did as an exercise for an upcoming piece.

Ill Advised Side Project? Yup.

Worked a bit on a side project last week, mostly for fun. I figured I would share the opening two page spread (hooray insomnia!), and a quick drawing of the other main character.

ASIFA - Spring 2010, Part 3

Naked People Super Challenge Summer 2010 starts up this Thursday, so I better post all the Spring stuff while the getting is good. Today is the "dudeity" post. ALSO. If you're reading these posts on Facebook, they're posting over insanely late. Like, several days after the fact. Now that I have this rolling again, coming straight over to the blog is probably the hot line.

Bamboo Inking w/ Color

I don't do very much with Benthic in color, so even for me its a treat to see characters in color. I gave the bamboo drawings the Photoshop treatment. Issa looks hot and Karda looks like a total crazy person, so I must be doing something right.

ASIFA - Spring 2010, Part 2

I have been stupidly lazy about scanning the last couple of months and my sketch blog has gotten a little neglected. Being the party animal I am, I spent the better part of this Friday night scanning in about four posts worth of material. Without further adieu, enjoy these naked ladies.

Bamboo Inking Tests, Part 1

I've been really bad about updating over the past month or so, cause scanning is never at the top of my list of fun things to do. BUT. There's plenty of work to show, so I'm getting back on the horse.

I've been broadening my inking techniques lately, trying to find a sweet spot between sketchy and clean that I like. The first couple tests I did were of Karda and Issa, and I figured I'd go ahead and share. Lots of bamboo pen and bamboo brush with drybrushing, in addition to the usual suspects.

Lunchtime Inking Sessions, Part 2

More drawings from lunch, where now I bring you the seedier side of life with fighters and skanks.
