There's only two kinds of people in this world

Those who draw Tuco and those who do something else.

I haven't ever wacthed The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly until like last July. But since then I've probably watched it like 10 times, and it's now one of my favorite movies. And before that, it was one of my favorite movies that I've never seen because I'd watch the ending scene where each of the treasure hunters are staring each other down, with these extreme close ups of just their eyes. and the SOUNDTRACK! It's the best thing ever. There's probably no other noise that's more iconic that the "Ahh ye Ah ye Ahhhhh!" part in the main theme.

Any who, during my latest viewing I drew a couple Tuco faces. First one started out terrible, (at least it didn't possess a likeness) so I started pausing the movie at parts and took like 15 minutes to draw something. It's kind of fun and annoying at the same time because you're constantly pausing the movie and not enjoying it.

Also, yesterday morning I put on mismatched socks. One grey, one black. This sparked inspiration for The Man Called Darkfoot. A suave 1960's FBI spy cop that doesn't play by anyone's rules but his own. Sticking his foot in the door of crime.
So he's just this slick dude in polyester, with a crazy foot that's made of shadows or something.

Kyle Katarn

Just some doodles I did in between tasks while I was sitting at the computer. I used to draw like this 90% of the time. Just some scrap paper in front of the keyboard and during loading screens or downloads (back in dial-up days) I'd draw. Or take notes on things.

some sketches of Kyle Katarn from the Dark Forces and Jedi Knight series. Probably the best Star Wars games ever and nothing will ever be made similar again because of crap like KOTOR and The Force Unleashed.

That cover again

I'm now taking my business card design and getting it ready to be turned into my homepage. Pretty much all the things on it will be roll over images/slices that will flip colors or something to catch your attention and tell you "Hey! this isn't a book cover, it's a web page. With buttons!"

So yeah. I really liked aging the book, adding scratches and what not. Except the weird foggy smudgy stuff. That photoshop brush sucks. For the edges I scanned the back of one of my Thor books, which is a Laser Tag guide book ad. I chose it because it's mostly black and that makes it easy to harvest the scratches to overlay onto my cover.

Frazzeta colors





Probably the only reason I do this is because no matter what I do the pictures look awesome because I still have Frazzeta's lines in there. But it's fun anyway, and I think I learn a few things from doing these.

Blog Hat-Trick this month

Yo! At my graduation show I was handing these out. They're little mini-comics that just suddenly became one day. Originally they were drawn on index cards folded in half. and now I got a system where I can mass produce them and the worst part is stapling. But check these out! I am so proud.


I graduated!

How about that! To prepare myself for this new school-less life ahead of me I decided to tiddy up my room and found an older sketch pad with a buncha life drawings in it from my anatomy class.
This'll probably be the neatest blog post, and the one with the most images.

Tomorrow I suppose I start the job hunt. Oh jeez. Kind of a little bit nervous about that

Drawing for my Business Card. I didn't plan ahead and think about where the titles and my contact info would go. So it gets a little crowded when I slap all that information on top of it. Maybe I'll spend more than five minutes and figure out a better solution. Might just print that stuff on the back.

Graduating in 3(2) days. Oh my! I can't wait till I got tons of free time to draw and get better at drawing. Maybe coloring too. Cause this piece is really splotchy.
