Old Sketch of the Day #4
I like these.
Feb 01 2010
This is an old piece I did for a character design challenge at ConceptArt.org – the topic was “Medusa the Queen”, and I envisioned Medusa as a kind of imperial/fascist/Nazi figure. Have I mentioned that ConceptArt.org is a pretty neat community for illustration and digital painting? The aesthetic that rules there tends to lean a bit toward the cheesy side of fantasy/sci-fi, but the technical mastery you can see on display, especially of digital tools, is astonishing, and there are a lot of people giving good advice to young artists about how to improve their work. Anyway, I realized I never posted this here, and it’s probably the most finished thing I ever did for CA. Click image to view larger.

Done in Photoshop, from memory after a brief walk around the neighborhood. Yay for nice weather!

I’ve been scanning old sketchbooks, and I thought I’d share random cool stuff from them on days when nothing else is begging to be posted. I’ll start with a particularly creative sketchbook I had going back around ’97 when I was working as the concept artist for a company called GameFX.

I just found this little pastel I had started in my sketchbook on a trip to Maine last year (or maybe even the year before). I messed around with it a bit more, and thought I’d post it.

I meant to post these a while ago. When I was home for the holidays we went to a lovely Christmas Eve service at the Montpelier UU church, and I made some graven images 🙂

Sponsored by the Boston Graphic Artists’ Guild, MassArt, and Comicopia, this event is open to the public (though it isn’t free). I am essentially headlining it. Which is cool! I’ll do a presentation, then be part of a panel about publishing, and then do portfolio reviews. It should be a pretty good time, if you are interested in graphic novels and how they get made.
Thanks to Ed Shems for taking the lead on making this happen.
