Curtains Down

I totally forgot to mention...this blog has, like so many jobs in big corporations, been merged with another one overseas. If you want to see my latest sketch work along with other fanciful playings-around in Photoshop and otherwise, go check out my blog at diaryoftheunreal.blogspot.com.

Now, where's that light switch?

Some Requests

Sometimes I get requests from people who want to see a sketch of something, and hey I like to oblige them.

For example:

"BATMAN PUNCHING OUT THE HUMAN TORCH ON THE BACK OF A T-REX"


"A PRETTY PRINCESS PONY!"


"SANTA FLYING OVER A VOLCANO!"


"A ROBOT EASTER BUNNY GUNNING DOWN EVIL SANTA CLAUS ON THE MOON"


"NAKED MUDWRESTLING AMAZONS"


Oh yeah.

Face and Fiend

Fiends 6

New Sketchbook

Christened it with a drawing of our good friend, the Maskmaker:

More Monsters aka Fiends 5

Might do something more with this guy. I really like how he came out.

Fiends 4

I've also been playing a metric fuckton of Spore lately.

Consequently:

Faces 4

Here we go.


Her name is Nachti.


And here's some Nachti's people. Not really HER people. But like, her people.


And here's Boaz Livny saying "caustics". He's my Lighting and Rendering teacheroo.

I have no idea what accent that is.

Cause its all Brooklynese and Jerseyspeak until you say something like "cowsticks" instead of "caustics" or "fractile" instead of "fractal" or "dinosaur peanuts" instead of "maya shaders" and it all goes to hell.

Except for that last one, that didn't actually happen.

Faces and Then Some

Trying to use my sketchbook more and more, and for more different things, and think of every page as less of a piece-space and more of just space to play around.



And some more playing around with expressions. I think I'm going to use this character for something in the near future.

Self Portrait, Now In Color!

Veves and Colors

Experimenting with some different things this time around.

Veves are inscriptions written in powder (salt, flour, rice, gunpowder, whatever) on a flat, horizontal surface, used in Haitian voodou to call the attention of one of the hundreds of Haitian gods, called "loa"s. Haitian veves are as varied as the loas they call and so far I haven't found any discernable pattern in how they're made.

So naturally I tried to make up some myself.





Also a self portrait, kind of showing off three different aspects of yours truly's personality:


I'll put up a color version of this once I'm done with it.

Also a quick attempt at doing accurate anatomy off the top of my head:

Faces 3

Some work with expressions, and the like:




A quick, rough and probably not all that accurate sketch of my visual literacy instructor during class:
