Continued Workings

Right, So work continues as usually... and hopfully I'll keep this blog updated from now till term end.
This guy is from an assignment that I really enjoyed, plus it turned out great... Unfortunatly I really don't know how to photograph finished peices. The protective gloss seems to give a nice sheen, but it turns terrible when you use a flash on it.


before anybody questions... that is me with a blue mohawk...

as for the project work, I got alot of canvas' in the works. Some great, others not so much.... but here is a little taste of the next real update...

please keep sending me feedback... I really enjoy it, and take it into account when I'm correcting canvas'

The Colossal Update : part 2

here is the other reason why I havn't updated the blog in a while... been lifing in the studio, breathing in some nice cadnium red (which apparently causes cancer)

This project was originally planned to be done completely in paint. Due to time restrictions (mainly cause I was working with oils last year) I switched to digital pages. They turned out alright, but it just wasn't really how I saw the project. So now I'm gearing up for alot of studio work in the next 2 months, and hopefully I'll peice together the main storeline with dramatic scenes painted out.

Title: Early Migration
About: just a test panel (still getting used to acrylics right now)... but it does feature a new character on there... the bison... which plays a small role, but I like his design. So I'll keep playing around with him...











------------------------------------------------------------------------

Title: The Bitter Coast
About: its an incomplete peice... but I like the rough look of it so far... might keep alot of those quick rough strokes... However, I plan to flush out the character.







------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title: untitled (for right now)
About: very very incomplete, but I wanted to show the direction of the new chapter... guess the pencil work didn't really come through....

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title: The Old Highway
About: This peice is so close to being completed... and it turned out alot better then I expected.. I still need to attempt to add in snow flakes falling...

This picture doesn't really do the canvas that much justice... but oh well you get the idea...




OK... thats it for this untitled comic book project... but I figured I'd update with a few personal peices as well... I won't really go into them, but would love to get some feedback on them...

Title : Dialectic Duality








Title : Drinking Tea and Looking Badass









For anybody that's at laurier I will be entering these last two peices into the Robert Langen gallery for the Staff/Student show later this month... I'll update the blog with some more details later.


P.S. - Thanks for the camera Scott... owe you one..

The Colossal Update : part 1

Ok... things haven't been updated around here. I'll take full responsibility for that... but will also pass the buck onto America... why? cause... I feel the need to blame America for more and more problems...

anyways, I'll just post some of the sketch work that I've been doing for the project right now, but I also have some canvas work that I've been doing in studio... which I'll be posting here later tonight...

This guys is an opener from Chapter 1... I'll give a little hint of the narrative, chapter 1 takes place roughly 13 years after the events of the prologue











2 frames overlayed onto one another... nothing too special...










Prologue work... just need to finish up this chase scene... then a long dialog section... which is turning out to be harder then I originally thought...







Last guy for this update... still alot more to come... I just seem to have gotten lazy about digitizing the works... been doing too many paintings lately









And a thanks to Wojo for reminding me that some people still do check out this page... well its time for some more studio work... but another large installement will be posted tonight
