Caveman
My next comic is about cavemen, because I like drawing them.
Brief Pretentious Essay:
I included these details because they show why I love working on paper. I've no problem with computers, but I don't know how to do those things with photoshop and I have a lot of fun getting my hands dirty and pushing stuff around and making a mess. Computers are great and they definitely have a place in my process, but I think I'm going to lay off them for a while and really push myself to get a sense of play into my pictures. When I really fall in love with other peoples pictures it's for this type of stuff. When I look at Siekiewicz's pictures, or Schiele, or George Pratt's beautiful paintings or Breccia's perfect drawings, it's that sense of play, the push and pull carved into the surface and supported by undeniably powerful drawing skills that really makes me lose my mind. That's what I'm after with my drawings, but I've got a long way to go.
Prophet
Hey, this one got away from me a bit and became more involved than I had really planned on. It's based on a comic book I'm reading called "Prophet" being written by Brandon Graham and being drawn for the most part by Simon Roy with a few other pretty stellar guys on a few issues. It's the first comic I've ever cared about enough to buy monthly, so you know it's good. My picture on the other hand has not quite the same auspicious air to it, and I'm going to have to live with it for a bit before I know if it's good or done. On the plus side the colors resemble that of horrible, bloody diarrhea, so that's something.
Another Painting
Just knocked this one out quick. Trying to get some nice colors and texture in the skin.
Bow
New Painting. Not sure about it. Part of a new series of "concept design" stuff I'm creating based on an idea for a graphic novel I have but approaching the work like it was being made for a movie or animation. Let me know what you think.
and... poop
I think the use... of the ellipsis... is becoming popular... among certain demographics... and... poop:
