YSA Comic #2

I continue to try and flesh out ideas for great comics about young single adults. Of the ideas I had in my sketch book, I liked this one the most. In reality, I don't think it's even a bad idea for a calling. Think about all the people that would go to activities if they were texted the information on their cell phones every week. It's funny yet profound at the same time. I've also included the rough sketch that I made the comic from so you can see what I went from.

YSA Comic #1

I'd like to mix up my work with illustrations and comics. For those dear friends of mine who actually read this blog, I'll let you in on a little dream of mine. I think it would be cool to illustrate a comic book aimed at Young Single Adults and their quirky yet exciting lives. Ya know,something you might see in Deseret Book Store. I could see it.

A Day in the Life of a Donut Man

Ah, another final illustration after what seems like forever. It'd be neat to make a series out of this character and out of the ostrich cowboy characters. I left space for what could be type in the top right corner. Again I used 140 lb. watercolor paper, Sepia ink, and watercolor. I did a thin wash of an off-white, yellow kind of color to begin with so that things were sort of harmonized, and then went from there. I hope it looks good.

A long break and some sketches...

Yeah, I know, it's been like forever since I've posted something. I've been busy working part time jobs and chasing women, which surprisingly takes up lots of time. Honestly though, I need to do more final pieces. I'll try to have some posted soon. On a separate note, I was in St. Louis on Sunday and that was fun! I got to see the Arch and a Rams tailgating party. Woo hoo!

Illustration Friday: Open

Nothing says open like the open range! Of course, most people don't think of a wild hog farm being managed by ostrich cowboys when they think of the open range. I did this awhile back, in sepia ink and watercolor on 140 lb. arches watercolor paper. Enjoy the open range ya'll!

Oh, and don't forget to vote for me in the Forums for the competition!

Snail like progress

Surely but slowly I progress on my painting. I've been sick the past week so I haven't moved much, let alone got up to paint. Here is the color comp I did today in preparation for my final painting. I hope I can make the painting as fresh as color comps and sketches....sigh.

On the Drawing Board

It's been awhile since I've posted anything new. This is a near final sketch of something I have been working on. I'm still looking for work and making illustrations and this will hopefully be something that can aid me in that attempt. Enjoy!
