Had to post these here even though there is not a bit of ink, hatching or even drawing on them. These are the first two toys for the sprout–Blue Ninja and Green Ghost. Both of which I am working on children’s book concepts for. In a post below this one you can see the quick concept drawings for the final madness that is this odd duo! The goal is to have a cool presentation to give when “Bring your parent to school day” rolls around.
Working on a visual novel project with my friend and fellow AIB Grad/Native Son Of Rhode Island, Carl Haas. This is a simple concept drawing that I’ve done. Mr. Haas will be doing the colors. This is really the first collaboration I’ve ever worked on–I’m excited to see where we can go with it.
Working on some concept work for Stickfiguratively Speaking: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. I’m thinking that all of the night scenes will be black like the bottom image, with the sticks in white. Anybody hate it?
Yeah, more problem solving. For some reason, I’m complete sucked into the idea of using jet black skies to represent those deep, Pacific, blue sky days; which seems completely counter-intuitive… which is probably why I like it.
We have snow in Connecticut. I have ink and gouache. Combine all three, add skulls, and you get:
Just an exercise from today… tiny 3″ x 3″ drawings. Click on the image below to check out the PDF (2.4 MB):
So, it’s official. Time for a new book; ink plus punk equals… many, many hours of work.
I‘ve been toddling about with these concept drawings off and on for a few years now. Here are a few doodles from today. I’ve been getting further along with the story as well. So…above are from today and below in the blue frames are from a while back…just inserted them into my portfolio recently.
Not so sure which style I’m gonna go forward with. The older drawings were much more refined but both take about the same amount of time to complete. For now though–I actually do have to write something…preferably something good.
