Them Bones-- a short comic

This is a short 3 page comic that I am submitting to this year's issue of my college magazine, the Fine Print. It was a real challenge to get it in in such a huge crunch of time pressure. But I'm hoping the payoff will be worth it for this comic if it gets published. :)

Updated...

 Coraline sketchdump

Just a little practice so I may improve with how I draw Coraline. I'm happy with the first drawing I did of her, but I wanted to improve on how I draw her face; so I drew these expressions for practice.

The following two drawings are assignments for an upcoming Character design webinar that's being hosted by Tom Bancroft. These two drawings were done under 1.5 hours.

Max Motep...and a fly!

 

Only Max would be easily scared of something so innocent... :P

 trio sketch

I'm glad that I'm finally getting these guys in a group picture nowadays. I can't wait to see more.

Peace.

nothing new...

Except this...

Yeah, I haven't been updating my blog lately. Still, I thought it should be important to at least show you that I'm still drawing. I've drawn quite a bit this week, but not enough as usual on account of the play. Anyway, this is a design for my home page that I started debugging for my Final project. More details on that later.

As you can see, most of my characters make an appearance while I think them up. On the far right is a new dude that I've had in my mind for about 2 years. More details on him to come.

Right now, I'm too tired. I need to get some sleep. Good night folks.

one more update before spring break ends...

Max Motep update sketch

This is another sketch of Max Motep the mummy. I'm thinking about changing his last name though, because it feels a bit too generic; I want something more unique in a last name, considering he's a mummy.

 Jack Kirby Avengers cover take 1

I am not 100% happy with this take of the Avengers comic cover that I own. I really think it should be better by fixing the ink work, as well as the anatomic structure of the characters. Also, if you notice closely, Ant-Man/Giant-Man and Wasp are missing. That's because I put more emphasis on Thor, Hulk, Iron Man and Loki, so I could focus on what I saw before my eyes without enough time to examine everything else.

 shading practice

This is another take from my drawing observation book, so I can practice with shading and shapes. I can tell that my skills are starting to improve by greater strides. :)

 Chuck Jones Looney Tunes sketchdump

Just another sketchdump from Chuck Jone's autobiography, 'Chuck Amuck'. I think I'm getting better at capturing the character's liveliness this time. :)

tattoo # 2

Hooray! I finished my 2nd tattoo design for my friend on Campus! This calls for a drink! *inserts Mst3k Final Sacrifice reference* Have a drink on me tattoo! :P

I can't wait to hear her feedback on these babies.

And of course, I have to update on my current Invader Zim rave since I promised that I'd draw more characters again for practice.

This time, with Gaz, I seem to be getting better. The form looks more spot on with her design, as seen on TV, the shadowing has improved, and my cartooning in general is improving because I'm practicing more and more with the characters. :)

Just imagine how my future work will be like after drawing these guys for weeks. ;)

As you can tell, my cartooning is already improving, as seen with the design of one of my original characters, Max Motep, the moronic mummy whose not too bright. ;)

Once again, he's another main character apart of some sort of horror/dark comedy project that also features Amelia Enmity. As you can see on the right, this is what his final design should look like.

I can already tell that my style is emerging (after practicing with artwork by Bruce Timm, Tad Stones, Jhonen Vasquez and some John K). ;)




Well, that's just about it for now. I need to get back to my regularly scheduled program and work on homework.
