12th Night - Malvolio


Malvolio of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night", a character design project I started last semester that I intend to finish before the start of the next semester (aka, I have a week and two days). Also, note that this Twelfth Night as set in the 1920's.

You can check out the rest of the series here!

Madame Midnight

This is a sketch of a character from a illustrated fairy tale story that my little cousin Fiona has asked me to make for her. She is Madame Midnight (oh shit, it's the title!), who isn't a fairy but is a creature from the Otherworld. The cloak she's wearing is made out of a tiger skin and it almost seems as if the gloves on the sleeves have actually become her hands.
I'm actually really pleased with how this has been going. I still have a bit to sketch and then clean it up but it looks good for less than an hour spent on it :D

Swirling Girl


Just a girl.

Hushabye (Page 23 - in progress)

Today I worked on the latest comic page for my webcomic "Hushabye: a nightmare in four parts." I've had horrible artist's block with this page. Mostly to do with the horse.



(The rest of this comic is housed here: http://www.drunkduck.com/Hushabye__A_Nightmare_in_Four_Parts/index.php).

Hi all, here's a recent piece I've been working on. It's Shiva, one of the major Hindu deities. I'm hanging art tonight at Diamonds coffee shop in Northeast Minneapolis (this piece included), so check it out if you're in the neighborhood. It's a pretty neat place and the sweet potato muffin I had there last night was divine.

I'm excited for this blog and to have some sort of feedback community, nice to meet all of you!


So my camera's not working hense I'm going have to cheat a little for today... try to forgive me ;)

Since I can't get anything new up, this is something I actually made a while ago, however it's been in storage since I made it and am only unpacking it and the rest of its series now. It's about birds... mostly crows and sparrows since that's all I saw in Tokyo.


BatComics

I feel I should make a point of posting the -absolute pinnacle of my artistic talent- first. Obviously. Anyways Ian's been playing Arkham Asylum, the first time a friend of mine played through, BatComics started happening, it's only gotten worse. Also Batman's ear bits get exponentially larger. (Yeah Photobooth, you're awesome. I promise to scan things most of the time...)

PN! early concepts


My writer-friend contacted me today about a possible future graphic novel collaboration. I don't have time for it right now but after I graduate I may pursue it as an on/off project. He gave me a brief rundown of the story and some of the characters, and I got so excited I doodled these preliminary things.

The Number J - First Sketch

Decided to draw my favorite SC2 caster Day[9] in a classic pose. Just a rough and dirty sketch, I'll see about working into it more later. Drawing Reference and Joke Reference.

Sketch of an angel-ish lady

I doodled this one a while ago in my sketch book, then took a picture of it (cause I'm poor and don't have scanner) and went over the pencil with my tablet. I'm not sure how I want to go about coloring it, but I know that I want the color scheme to be cool colors (i.e. blues, greens, etc.)
I'm also aware of the anatomy flaws... like that shoulder being way too big :/ And folds in cloth is the bane of my existence.

Yay for two days in a row that I've updated! Here's to keeping up with a daily post *crosses fingers*

Doodle

This is an ms paint doodle I did, while attempting to write essays.
