The second one is referenced from this awesome blog (LINK) http://www.idleware.com/sketches/kaiju-and-a-girl Not from life but from flickr instead of working on what I should be doing (the skateboard design) but I guess it beats doing nothing or whining. No preliminary sketching just brush pen. Some of the refs (I missed saving all of the addys...) - copyright is with the respective ... http://www.idleware.com/sketches/gals-wit-guns-nsfw I was forced to waste my day yesterday with a lot of waiting and walking but at least I managed some sketches of the people around me. http://www.idleware.com/sketches/sketches-fo-random-people Here are a few studies of animals I did this evening. No pencil, just straight with a brush pen. http://www.idleware.com/sketches/sketches-of-animals I'm having some more fun hunting for images of morbidly obese people. This particular image seems to be rather well know, or so I've been told. Well, I referenced it from a photo on flickr (possibly more engrossing) and drew it with a nib pen, ink wash, screen tone and ... http://www.idleware.com/sketches/morbidly-obese-or-crazy-phat So, I've finally turned in the application papers for my graduation which means that around the beginning of the next year I will be looking for jobs and other opportunities. My graduation project will consist of designing four or more characters that will be modeled into toy figurines, packaging art ... http://www.idleware.com/sketches/doodles-of-robots Finally finished. I realized I need to start painting bigger pictures since this one is awfully small and fleshing out the details wasn't as much fun as it could have been. It also taught me that I need to learn to be more exact and precise when choosing colors. Oh, and ... http://www.idleware.com/comic/9-panels-about-love-painting-process-part-3-finished Lots of things going on today and stuff to prepare for the Comic Con in Erlangen. Excuse for not having made much progress. Maybe. http://www.idleware.com/comic/9-panels-about-love-painting-process-part-2 Todays progress on the comic. Painting is fun. http://www.idleware.com/comic/9-panels-about-love-painting-process-part-1 For today finally the update to the previous post on 9 panels about love. The first image is the storyboard, the second scan shows the pencils on the primed and colored wooden board. The board is roughly 28 cm by 30 cm (12" x 11"). http://www.idleware.com/comic/9-panels-about-love-storyboard-and-pencils Currently I am working on a painted nine panel comic strip. Following are the first few character studies for the protagonist. http://www.idleware.com/comic/9-panels-about-love A while ago I bought this crappy little mini skateboard with the intention of customizing it. Well, today I finally finished painting it (acrylics, of course). If anyone is interested in buying it, please let me know via the comments and I'll get back to you. http://www.idleware.com/custom/the-violators-custom-mini-skateboard Uhm,... yeah. I guess the title says it all. I had some fun with fat people on flickr and my new nib pen. I actually enjoy the composition on this spread so I decided to post it as a whole as well. http://www.idleware.com/sketches/fat-flickr-people-reference-sketches Here is another little story I recently finished for a little group effort we're putting together for the upcoming Comic Salon in Erlangen, Germany. The story will be available in a little booklet in the size of 15 cm by 15 cm (6" x 6"). I will be at the ... http://www.idleware.com/comic/le-phosphor-piquenique-4-page-comic I bought this pair of Blobpus and Blobpi at Charactics in Osaka, Japan but never really enjoyed its color scheme so I decided to give it some of my own magic. This one has a base coat of pearlescent green acryl on which I put some high glossy acryl and ... http://www.idleware.com/toys/custom-kaiju-blobpus-and-blobpi
