Ingmar and Utgartha

For my figure illustration class, one of the large assignments this semester has been illustrating a children's story. For my story, I went for David and Goliath, except setting it in a kind of mythical Bronze-age Northern Europe. Here's what I've got so far:

Scene 1: Utgartha Challenges the Livonians


Scene 2: Ingmar refuses King Berig's Armor


Scene 3: Ingmar battles Utgartha


All in all, I've been having a lot of fun with this project. I'll be sad to see it go, honestly.
But next week - the cover!

Some more cool comic stuff

Here's a cover for a mini I'm going to have for the summer,


And some pencils and inks from within...

Montage/Book Cover

A finished piece (for school) that was for a montage project. It's a comic cover!
(If you've read much late-seventies Conan, you may recognize that FONT-OF-STONE that I used.)

Here's two of the later-stage roughs for it.

THE BATTLE CONTINUES

KING RADIO (king of the radioactive men) VS QUITE A FEW PEOPLE

SPACE WIZARD VS SPACE ITALIANS

Some more photos from the front.

BATTLE!

Every thursday over the past little while myself and these three fine fellows

decompress by drawing these massive battles, just like when we were little kids. Drawing without direction or purpose (beyond having fun) is very freeing when you're in a program devoted to doing exactly the opposite of that. There are often other participants, but none of them have flickr accounts yet.

UPDATE!
Richard's got another one of these battles posted up on his photostream!
MOON WAR!

Spot Drawings

Some illustrations for class...









The subjects were, respectively, bear attacks in eastern russia and the woolly mammoth's extinction.

Just another silly comic...

Dead Lands

Playing with some different ways to draw comics. This is brush and digital shading.

Also, my final for the Dragonboat poster.

More Schoolwork!

The final drawing for my previous illustration project, plus some roughs for a coming project.

2009, we hardly knew you....

Ah - the new year.
I think 2010 will be a good one. Here's some roughs for my new illustration class...




And some stuff I've been playing with lately. I've been attempting to tackle the challenge of digital inking - or at least attempting to do so - and a little bit of inkwash doodling to make sure I still got it.

End of Term

Buuuh. After a hard-ass semester, I'm done. Here's a few of my final projects!

More Drawings

For school,



And for fun.
