11/19/2008 - Something different, NOT.

Posted by KirkGuy

Just a quick experiment. When I don’t draw for awhile, when I get back to it, I draw more realistic then I usually want to. I perfer to draw more cartoony or stylized. Which ever word works best. This is what I get when I push it a little bit. The post below is what I get when I have not drawn in awhile. - Kirk

10/26/2008 - Model Drawing

Posted by Neneuche

Hi kids!
I've been doing a lot of model drawing lately. But my computer is down again so I can't scan as much as I would like to. I got to be sneaky at work since they don't let us send files through e-mail for fear of breaking the non-disclosure deely. I understand but it's a bit of a drag. Anywho, here are some scans from 2 weeks ago.
Let me know what you think and I will post more often.
FYI, I will probably open a newer blog soon. I've evolved beyond this one. It's got too much bad memories in it and I need to make time to start a new one. I'll keep you posted.
These are all newsprint and conté.

Stupid stick got in the way...

He looks sick here... Spooky.

I will take my brandy in the study, Jeeves.

See ya soon peeps!

10/21/2008 - The Last Starblast

Posted by KirkGuy

Well, looks like this will be the last Starbast sketch for this blog. This is Starblast in the 60, when he becomes more dejected about not getting any positive attention for his super hero works.

At another point where I need to shift gears again and make some choices. I need to find my voice as far as my illustration work is concerned and get into some kind of grove, if I’m ever going to get to a point where I can make a living doing freelance illustration work. I need to find what works for me style wise that I am comfortable with and that is my own.

Well, take care and God bless for now. - Kirk

8/29/2008 - Hi kids! long time no post.

Posted by Neneuche

I've had it rough.
I have been trying to cope with my head going all over the place but it's not easy.
I have a bunch of cool art at work but I ain't allowed to show you guys what the dillio because of all the corporate bullcrap we have to sin when they hire us.
My 3rd book illustration work is out now. I think the graphic artist messed the front page, but whatever.
It's the story of a humming bird who has a feather in its eye. I had other ideas for the cover, but they really wanted the cat and the bird and the feather so you gotta do what you gotta do. I am including the artwork and the book image so you can see the difference.
Feeeeeeee!!

See how the letters are all over the place? Meh. I couldn't find a biger image online and I'm too lazy to scan the book.

Oh and leave me comments or I think you don't like me.
I'm needy.

7/8/2008 - Found what once was lost or at least forgotten

Posted by Zram

So, I stumbled back here, to the drawing board and eventually to the blog.... I wasn't sure if it would be worth it, but I spent the last couple of nights deleting the 400 or so spam replies that got littered on my less then 17 entries here... It was sad, I was so excited when I signed in that first day and saw that I had like 400+ comments! I was like what! No way!... and it was a great big hose job, spam bots spamming stupid stuff...

The replies where 2 years old now. I finally got rid of them. Now what. Am I going to start posting here again? After all these years. I've become so stagnant. So old, so tired, sad and defeated. Most of the people I used to come to the forum to read about and get excited by are gone elsewhere, those that I enjoyed banter with and a kind of friendship through the stories they told are also gone... moved on, moved away to some other activities, some gave up on the art that once came here to improve, having seen their limits and deciding not to work and push beyond them for other persuits.

is that my fate...

6/16/2008 - Project: Rooftop

Posted by themightyadam

This morning is crazy busy at work, but I didn't want to wait until the afternoon lull to share with you my Superman: Man o' Style entry for Project: Rooftop.

I did several, but only bothered to take one of them through to the final-draft stage. I could write an essay, but I'll just say that I was going for Superman: Two-Fisted Space Explorer. I was inspired by Flash Gordon. The belt is part wrestler-belt and part Supergirl belt from this, my favorite Supergirl cover. The "S" is a bit chunkier and, I think, feels "happier." And the shield on his back is just a blank, metallic-yellow diamond.

6/4/2008 - Living large.

Posted by Neneuche

I uploaded a few pieces from the last Dr. Sketchy I went to. I brought in my laptop. The models were 2 very interesting and very large women. They're performers in Big Moves, a dance troop with fat people. They posed with skampy outfits, which is propper Sketchy attire. They were pretty fun to draw and they also talked a lot, which is usually not goot for a model to do because it tends to make them move, but they didn't. We laughed a lot.
FYI, the one with glasses had pasties on her nipples, just so you didn't think they were bloody or something.

Tata!

5/25/2008 - Dr. Sketchy Seattle

Posted by themightyadam

Last Monday I got really drunk! And I drew ladies! Or a lady. Mama Lou Strongwoman performed at the May Dr. Sketchy and absolutely killed. C'lammy Jon was all in love and it was great. I don't remember how long I spent on each of these so, instead, I'll tell you what I was drinking at the time.

Vodka.

Vokda.

Vok'kaaahh .. ...mmfffFFFFFFF!

4/5/2008 - Stupid shizzle

Posted by Neneuche

Hey guys. I know I've been a bad blogger but my heart isn't into it that much. I have drawings but they aren't scanned and my computer is dead and has been for weeks. I'm using my boyfriend's pc now.
Recent events:
-Broke my left hand and had surgery
-Had to get a medical leave of absence and got only partialy paid for a while
-I'm terribly depressed and I lost my appetite.
-I lost 7 pounds.
I feel horrible all the time.
I'm 28; I feel like I'm stagnant and old.
So yeah, not the best part of my life.
I'm getting help.
Here's a funny cat to lightn this crap mood.

I'll post art soon.
