Things have been busy. Eventually i'll be able to post some of the stuff i've been working on. This one is from True 20 from Green Ronin. I've got more black and white stuff to show but I think i'll ration them out over the next few days.
I saw Pan's Labyrinth this weekend and it was amazing. Guillermo del Toro promised a fairy tale for adults and he did not dissapoint. It was dark and beautiful and horrible and sad.... but in a good way. If I have any complaint it's that i'd like to have seen more of the fantasy world. When I came home I did a few scribbles of the characters. I wouldn't be surprised if they start showing up in my sketchbook more often.
Too bad I can't post some of the recent stuff i've been working on but untill it's published i've gotta keep it under wraps. Here are some pencil drawings I did a while back. They were for an RPG whose name I can't remember.
I wish I had photoshop back when I painted this. It would have come out very different. Still, I think it kinda works, in a comicbook/team pose kinda way.
What would I have changed? Ah, but that would be telling....
Sometimes I like my sketches more than the finished painting. It's not that the painting is bad or not what I was trying to portray. It's just that some subtle little thing gets lost somewhere along the way. It's usually in the face. The curve of a lip, the glint in an eye. Well, you be the judge....
These were done for the Mutants & Masterminds RPG from Green Ronin Publishing. It'd been awhile since i'd done any superhero/comicbook type drawings, which are my first love, so it was a welcome change of pace. They were also among the first things i'd colored in photoshop.
