VS 1

My buddy Sean Izaakse and I are going to do a series of drawings of characters we just plain dig. I'll draw the one half of the battle and he'll draw the other. Then we'll ink each others pencils(yup it is as dirty as it sounds).

Here's the pencils for the first pic. I drew Shang Chi(top), while Sean drew the very dynamic Iron Fist(bottom).

These are character designs done for an Opel Astra job.

swamped

Well all the things I'm currently working on are almost finished, unfortunately I can't post any of that work till it's out in public view so I thought I'd post some of my older stuff.

bits and pieces

Man when I'm done with this job I'm going to know at least as much about the inner workings of the human body as Jack the Ripper




This page is what happens when you ignore the little voice in the back of your head telling you something's not quite right with the picture. Thankfully, writer extrordinaire, Brandon Thomas called me on it and I now have a page that doesn't make me want to give it all up and be a stunt man when I look at it. In the end I redrew this whole page, stealing a few bit of wreckage.

MTV shart

Below you'll see an animated short(or shart as MTV 2 calls them) that I worked on with The Ebeling Group. I was responsible for background designs, storyboarding and key frames. Below that are some examples of the original files I created. It's always interesting to see how a third party interprets or changes what you did. Looks pretty damn cool.

final page

I'm enjoying how this turned out. The middle panel was the most fun as it was the only part I really got to try something new.

I think the drawing itself turned out pretty cool, and the colour is alright.It holds together quite well.

I like taking part in these little jams because it gives me the chance to experiment, as I'm really just doing these for me, just to see what I can do.

If deadlines hadn't interfered I would probably have pushed it more, as it is I did the colouring while working an all nighter for another deadline. Yeah I know weep weep cry me a river.

jammin'

The SA comic jam is always quite a strange experience. Someone writes a script, some other guys design characters and then we all get assigned one page. What makes it odd is that besides the script and character designs you really have no other idea what everyone else is doing. So you have to design a page that gives you all the information you need about what's going on in the story, all at a glance. I have know idea how the guy before me ended his page, how he choreographed his people and backgrounds, and of course I don't know what the next guy is gong to do either. So while each individual page can be very fun to look at the final 10 page story doesn't read very well. It doesn't make it any less fun to look at or do.

new jam

this is a panel from a local comic jam I'm taking part in. I'll post as I do more.
