Concept - The Steampunk Post (lines)

Well, this was super fun. These are just the lines (and they took me bloody forever), but I'll have the painted version up soon. Even though I should be working on the comic. I found this super helpful concept artist who posts a bunch of free tutorials online, and one was about mechanical design, which I've always had some trouble with. I think the tips really helped. I'm excited that I actually like how this is coming so far.

CS - Dumpstering Tales, Meet J and N, part 1

I have difficulty portraying an understandable story without words and without a bajillion pictures. I would like to be able to do this, so I am practicing. Also, I think comic shorts are super fun, and a friend just gave me the idea of doing diary comics, which I think could be fun -- especially if I did them in a bunch of fun new styles. We'll see how it goes! I don't have time for this! Yay!

Page 19/50 done. I think we're not launching 'til August. But it'll be worth it. Promise!

Concept - Cap Trel

Another revamping of a character of olden days.  I swear, Trel had a bandana and long dreads before Cap'n Jack Sparrow existed. And I wasn't go to change it now. I'm unapologetic about this point.

DS - Cursive.

Word of the Day sketch! I think an art friend of mine, DR, and I are going to be doing these more often. We picked environment, and then found a word of the day (today's being Cursive) and gave ourselves fifteen minutes to sketch out an idea.

Concept - Lexian

I haven't down a proper character design in ages, I realized. I've been so busy practicing other skills, that I haven't done what I actually enjoy doing the most. Which is, frankly, silly. So I'll be doing more character designs. I also haven't worked with this kind of style too much for characters -- I'm not very good at it yet -- this took lots of studies of other people's character design, as well as taking the pose more or less completely from a photograph. I'm working on it.

Lexian is a character I've constantly come back to. I'll probably draw them in the future, and they'll prolly look slightly different than they do here -- they usually do. Those skates are supposed to work only in designated areas, but the Reds have reprogrammed them so they can use them as a form of transit around the cities -- usually for when they're doing illegal things in their dystopic world.

Sixteen pages done on the comic! Don't know if I'll have the fifty I want done before the website is up...but the website will be up in July, for sure, anyway! We might have to start updating it a little later than the prospective date. We'll see, though. I've been doing an average of four pages a week, and expect to keep that up -- we'll see if we can't fit a few more pages in here and there.

This is my animation final from spring semester! As tedious as it was, I really enjoyed this. I'm sure I'll animate again sometime. This is far from polished -- parts of it need to be tweaked, but since that won't happen until fall, at the earliest, I thought I'd put this up. Especially since I've been promising it since the spring.

Concept - The Inker

Found in the Swamps, the Inkers roam, marking their territories with a bright, bioluminescent, poisonous blue paint which is produced internally, then secreted through what would on most cats be the scent glands. Because of the thick scents of the Swamps, these cats have adapted to these visual cues. The translucency of their skin allows for them to blend in with their surroundings, until their paint is viewed -- a sign which normally warns off their predators. A close relative to the Inker is the Potter, who tend to use a thin layer of mud to hide their paint deposits, and generally go about life in a stealthier manner. 

Cower - Initial Factory Exterior

Just working out thoughts for what the factories/processing plants could look like from the exterior. I'll touch this up and post a better version later (unless I find a different direction to go in!).

Cower - Factory Thumbs

This might be it, folks. Also, a friend of a friend may do this, making it significantly cheaper and cooler. We'll see. I'm sending them this image to see what they think!
