Epic Win!

Then I learned how to make custom brush shapes in photoshop. There was so much win I just pwned obama. Thats how much win.

There was way too much fun going on with this one. Improvement towards a good direction?

Honestly, this is looking a LOT like what spitfire looked like, except a little bit more shading done with the pen and not photoshop. Is the simpler shading in this one better? Rawr! I'll keep on working, and keep on improving my pen skills! Its time to become a TOP-NOTCH illustrator!

extreeeme!

Practice with extreme lighting using tones and ink. Go? No go?

Still working out a good workflow for my next manga, whatever that may be. Whenever that may be.

Is scott the only one who reads this any more?

black and white vomit




All right, some fun with black and white images.

So I don't know where I stand as far as what I want to do for my next graphic novel (since spitfire is such a big hit, apparently X_X). I think these top two are what I more or less default to, the one with the guy jumping is more or less just for fun. Lemme know what you guys think - will these work for more manga? Should I try something with screentones, more like some of the other ones I've posted?


On a side note, dooky is dying, so I"m looking into a new car . . . . if anyone knows anything about which cars are good (I really only know a little about styling and that) I need help . . . . my favorite pick right now is the honda fit, but I've been kinda looking at the saturn astra too. I know nothing about the mazda3 or the nissan versa. The pontiac vibe/toyota matrix have rear visibility issues that I hate . . . . . I know I'd fight them the whole time I owned the car. The Aveo is off the list, the prius is ugly (and too expensive) . . . What other possible hatchbacks are there? Whats good? I know if I got that fit I'd be okay, but if the saturn is a better car . . . .

At least dooky is fixed for a while though. I hope. Hey, snow.
