Studio Stuff: Pepere’s Lamp
The truth is out there (in my studio)! Okay, I'm a day late in my update, there were lots of confounding variables yesterday that prevented me from sticking with my Monday update schedule. Hopefully I'll be consistent in the future, but I'm sure I'll slip up here and there, because life and stuff. Anywhat, I still have some old art to go through and edit to add to the gallery, but, since I've missed some studio time recently due to a computer rebuild (courtesy of my lovely and talented wife/tech department, I couldn't function in the "modern age"
The Final Piece of Revery Concept Art
It's Monday, my monkeys, which means I've updated the PMD Brainism and posted a new image to the gallery. The new image is yet another early digital drawing and the final piece of concept art I generated for Revery. I call this one Claw Face Ambush, because the two main characters are being ambushed by Claw Faces. Crazy, right? So, yes, the human is me. Revery was sparked by a series of weird dreams I had many years ago, which I combined with the lifetime I've spent wandering imaginary worlds in my head. The result is hopefully a tangible manifestation
Mondays Are For Plungers
Okay, it's update time on this snow day. I've decided that, for now, I'll add a new PMD Brainism on Monday's. The image will stay static...but I may change that once I finish up some other odds and ends in the future. For now, be entertained by what my brain thinks is important to tell me at all hours of the day. I added a new image to the gallery, another concept piece and early digital drawing: The Rogue Dream Squad. It's from that graphic novel I keep referencing (but not finishing)-Revery. The two Cobblies are Gwan and Jeeto, members
King of the Cobblies
I just posted a new old image to the gallery, another concept piece from Revery (which I will finish! I promise! It's all plotted and thumb-nailed, the first 15 or so pages are drawn...I just need to get a few other projects out of the way and iron out a few work flow issues). This is King Belain, King of the Cobblies (which is what he and Adarax are). Instead of just posting the "finished" concept art here as well as the gallery, I thought I'd post the initial rough sketch. Pencil drawing is still my favorite, I love the
One hen, two ducks, three squawking geese…
One of the projects I've been working on lately is actually a children's book based on a memory tongue-twister I learned as a Boy Scout. Myself and a few other members of my troop started performing it at any and all campfires we participated in. Once my tenure as a scout wound down, I sort of forgot about it until my own sons joined scouts. At the first campfire I was asked to have my den participate in, I dusted this little "song" off (I did another slightly easier favorite with my den). The wackiness of the "lyrics" always appealed
Ready for my close up
So, I had said I would post some zoomed in sections of Ohrim vs the Cave Squid because I had put so much time and attention into little details, so here are 3. The trouble for me is, when I zoom in, I still see bits I want to fix, things I'm not quite happy with. This particular piece clocked in at just about 70 hours, which is probably far too long for any one piece. The more I do, the faster I should get, though.
Please let me know what you think, it makes my brain happy.
