pg 21 - Finished!

The last page:



A tad bit cropped at the top and bottom to fit the page format. Okay, now I have to go back and do little revisions on all the older pages.

Okay this was an interesting experiment. Except as a print out it failed miserably, colors were wrong it didn't read well at all.




...it's not even a self portrait. WHATEVER.

Color comp

Color comp for digital illustrative painting:




This is usually how all of my digital paintings start out. I use a large brush and block in all the colors. Squint, and hopefully it looks finished. I think the colors are alright here, I always have to stick to printer friendly colors which is pretty limiting. Sometimes I just want to use an obnoxiously bright sea green, or a purple. It can't be done. :(

I'm thinking of doing this with Painter 9's pastel tool. Doing it in Painter 9. It's due tonight. Yeah.

Seedling pg 20

ONE MORE PAGE LEFT. And it's not even a comic page, it's a poster page to wrap things up for the chapter. I'll do it over the weekend, it'll be a pretty important piece. In the meantime, I need to actually do some HW, geez.




Check out that action pose. Totally ruined by falling like an idiot.

I've learned a lot from working on this comic, especially working with flat, graphic shapes.

once more with feeling

It's that nasty ol' Gimp!!




I just wanted to capture that nasty, warm-in-a-squelchy way lighting in this piece.

I'm thinking of using these for scholarship, but I'm not quite sure how to present them. I though of maybe sticking them into old books so they look like illustrations for them. I might go buy some old vintage books, or I'll just make very thin ones myself. I don't think these are meant to be framed though, and yet they don't feel like they should be on foam core either...
