Yet Another Painting Sketch!

Here's the Post Apocalyptic Version of Zombieman Zero. I was worried his body type was too generically buff, AND his split face was again TOO generic, but that's just who he is. Don't be afraid to be generic when the situation calls for it. That goes for more than just art too. Now Go get me a sandwich! (J/K... just making fun of my Mr. knowitall big mouth!)

Another study for SUPER MAN-MONSTERS project!

Painting a profile/portrait of a character is a great way for me to really figure out who they are. Here's another one for my new SUPER MAN-MONSTERS project. Once I realized it was okay to paint a person WITHOUT using flesh colors it came together for me. Part of me says, "Hey, you can't paint a person without using flesh colors, it doesn't look right", but then the Other part of me says, "Yeah? well I just did, and it looks fine to me, what you gonna do about it?" and then the first part says,"Okay then, it's your painting now, go to town..." Sometimes you just have to take control of yourself!

SUPER MAN-MONSTERS!

Yeah, I know, last year was the year of the SUPERMONSTERS, but hey, this is the year of the super "MAN"-monster!

SHOW & TELL episode: SKETCH COMICS!

Messing Around with Photoshop and Flash animation

I'm trying out some new techniques for my latest animation project. This test is a combination of Hand drawn artwork, Photoshop, and Flash. I like the potential I see in combining these techniques. The early development phase of any project is really the most fun, AND important. It's these early choices we as creators make that shapes the outcome of the final piece.

They'll be many more discoveries I make on the road to finishing this latest project... maybe that's one of the reasons I like making stuff!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

IDIOT ENGINE Ep.38: KID STUFF!

Me and Illustrator, Storyboard Director and Children's Book Author CHRIS ROBERTSON discuss the process of making Children's Books. I realized only AFTER finishing recording that this ep went almost 2 friggin' hours! This tells me that either me and Chris talked REALLY slow, or there's a whole bunch of content in it. The best thing about podcasts is You the listener can judge for yourself! Take a listen... If you can keep up with us!
