The Negotiator

Was working on some boards based on real life. Here's an image from it, that was fun to do, and made me stretch out of my comfort zone. These boards are going to be really fun I think. This image kind of has a Johnny Quest vibe, come to think of it.

An Emulation...

Done on paper with a brushpen. 5 points if you can guess what artist I was trying to emulate. (This is more a test to see if it works than a test of artist knowledge)

UPA Background Attempt #1

After watching 3 hours or so of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends (thanks Netflix Instant!) yesterday, I really wanted to try a hand at those beautifully simplistic yet textured backgrounds. I got lost though, and muddled like Bullwinkle, unable to spell my own name. And I tried to do this digitally, where they did it physically like stalwart manly men. I noticed I think they used charcoal or chalk for this really great texture but then it would also have splotches. Mostly I need to do some more looking before I try more doing. The little dude was just there to try and make it feel more contextual although even he fails. Whump whump... (sad trumpet noise)

Boom!!! Blam! Blam!

Some experimenting. Wish I could finish it.

My Weekend in a Nutshell

Yey, roadtrips are so fun. This is essentially it, with a tip of the hat to Richard Thompson, cartoonist behind Cul de Sac, the best comic strip running right now.

Next time I'll put more time into this. I could be having a lot more fun with it.
