Zombie Bull

This month I'll be spending more time animating, so expect to see less random sketches again. I do have a piece I need to do for that monthly forum challenge, the theme is the story of Sleepy Hollow so that should be fun. As a warm up I guess for that, I created a zombie Bull. The coloring was done pretty quickly and it's looking a bit muddy but you get the idea hopefully.

As you can see I am still trying to keep my lineart more simple and do the detail in color instead of lines. I think the result is more appealing.

Below the rough sketch and the stages of coloring.

Wolverine versus Danger Mouse + Breakdown

There is no substitute for learning under pressure on the job, without Boulder Media I would've still just been this guy who kind of can draw but just does a normal office job.

It's kind of cool to be in a situation now where I can start to think about future projects with the company (fingers crossed). One of their new gigs is Danger Mouse, the show is looking pretty awesome, so here's a DM sketch..oh, and I also drew Wolverine in the background if you look closely.

Thumbnail and lineart. I'm trying to force myself to draw simpler lines and then fill out the anatomy in the coloring..

This was my first stage of color, it's kind of easy when you're doing an existing design since you don't need to think about choosing colors that fit

Red Sonja: Ruff Concept II

Feeling a bit under the weather, my apt has become a fridge again with the sudden switch of weather so I think it might be that. Hopefully not coming down with a flu.

Still did a little sketch of Ruff who I drew yesterday, I think I'm quite happy with how he looks. He's only a secondary characters anyway...if you couldn't tell, he likes money.

Red Sonja : Rogar & Ruff concept

The 5 page sequential script has more characters than what the average full 22 page comic from Marvel has. So I'll have to design quite a few characters before I can pencil out the pages. Here are 2 secondary characters, Ruff and Rogar.

The aim of doing the comic is to give purpose to my figure drawings (on a side note, no reference used). I also need to figure out how much line I want to put down to describe form. On the drawing below I started quite simple but as you can see I started to get into a render mood on the little guy :P

This is how the little fella looked yesterday, didn't have that "little guy" feeling, but instead just a stompy giant.

Posh chick

This is based on a posh woman I saw today while out sketching.

Red Sonja and Wonder Woman

This is some sort of productive procrastination I guess, doodled a Red Sonja I liked, and it sort of gradually looked worse as I cleaned up :D

Even though the final result looks like a love child of Red Sonja and Ghimli (LOTR), I do like the coloring style. It's something that looks decent without me having to actually understand anything about color or painting. Line is challenging enough as it is! :)

This was a wonderwoman clean up from a sketch I posted a few days ago, I also painted this one...badly..that's why I experimented with the drawing above to go back to a more simple style of colors. The pose is also quite...meaningless. Can't wait to dig into my comic project to actually draw characters in context.

Red Sonja & Wonder Woman sketches

I'm prepping myself mentally to finally draw that Red Sonja sequential that I didn't get time for last month. I'm planning to do it the hard way drawing out the pages in pencil on an A3 pad. I'll then correct and ink in Photoshop.

Here's a sketch of my Red Sonja re-design for he comic on an A4 page with some red colorpencil for the hair...not sure if that works though.

While I was at it, I also drew a Wonder Woman, not very good though :D
