Red Riding Hood...

Uber quick ketches. Might try traditional again....something maybe I can build on.

Going through one of those shitty low art moments. Everything I do seems to suck, everyone else is kicking ass. Oh well, been here before.

One for no reason; the other for a short story I'm writing for fun. It started of tracing paper with prismacolor, alcohol, and some acrylic paint. Anyway...

Dharma City

For a story idea (the one with the guy missing his head). Man, I'm so bad at enviro's, and I so want to be The Black Frog. Spent an hour on it (you can tell by the date of the last post).

Meat Hole Demon...

At one point this was a demon Kekai, then it had a giraffe head, and then it had half a face, and eventually it had none.

Fremen?

I need to do more human figures. I'm so bad at anatomy and skin tones. I've decided to do more. So how do I handle this? Hide the feet in sand, hide the hands in globs of color (they might be fists) and throw a mask on the guy. Wow, I'm learning already!

Seriously though, I need to work on this. All my fav artist have it down, Ian McCaig, Colin Fix, Dermot Power, Dan Milligan, The Black Frog (and a slew of others); it's always their characters I'm most impressed with. Usually there's a speed there, a looseness, and an amazing grasp of what needs to be there and what doesn't. I want that understanding. I want to be fast, I don't like spending more that a few hours at most on any one piece. I want the confidence in color and line and anatomy to do what they do, in my own way.

I'm so far off course, I honestly question if I can get there in my lifetime.

They journey continues.
