Dry-Brush Practice

After doing a dry-brush piece back in the fall, I decided that I wanted to do some more practice with it.  It's good for working with a brush and ink, and is good for practice gray-tones and the play of light over a figure.

This one I did was based off of a picture of the Samurai Warriors character, Kotaro Fuma.  Decided to try him out because he is cool, and his braided dreadlocks gave me some practice on drawing braids.  Below is pictures showing the progress I made on this piece from line art to finished product.

End of the Quarter

This has been another busy quarter, but I'm really happy with the result of the work I produced.  I had two eight page comics to do, plus some other stuff for the two studio classes and my lecture class, but I planned it well and here's my result from another hard-working quarter:

 These pages were for my Senior Project class final.  As can be seen, from the being of the quarter when I posted up the initial character designs, I did some changes, as well as gave Pandora a  full make-over,  I definitely like this version better, but I did keep his color system from the original.  I also will admit that I absolutely love page 7.  I'm so happy that it turned out so nice since I was hoping it would since I penciled it.

This is the front cover page to the eight page minicomic I had to make for my Publishing and Self-Publishing class final.  My favorite part of this are the colors, probably because I love purple-blue colors.

These are my other pages.  I feel both stories turned out pretty good.

Time to finish up the last few days of school, then off for a hopeful busy summer.

Newly designed characters!

I'm now in the Senior Project class, can't believe schooling is nearly done for me.  My project for the class is an eight page teaser to a story I've come up with about a rebellious  Guardian Angel in training who learns important life lessons from other beings from various religious and mythological backgrounds.  In this story she meets Pandora who is a lot like her, though has the more darker traits that she was not so aware of.

The first character is Seren, who is the main character and a Guardian Angel in training.

Next to her is her mentor, Gabriel.

On the far side is Pandora (I'm aware that Pandora was a woman in the story, but it all gets explained.  You'll just have to check out the story when it is completed.

On other news, I'm also in the Getting Published and Self Publishing class, in which we must also do a comic.  The characters for that one are my squirrel characters, which you can find two posts ago.  It will focus on the start of the story.  The characters in this will be Arland, Fionn, and Cathal.

That is all for now.  Have a good Spring!
