Look at that...

Look at that there, I made that big guy behind the big guy, and the art on those boxes...I did that too. Neat. So Zeitgeyser is doing pretty well, and is even mentioned (with this photo accompanying) on MTV Geek with their coverage of the Baltimore Comic Con which you can see here.

Oils, oils, oils, and how my wife says I look Old.

Working in oils for the first time in close to 3 years to gear up for some projects I may or may not be working on for Robert J. Duperre... Yay, what fun.

Cat had to point out how much older I look than the last time I did a self portrait...all I could come up with was a pitiful,"Yeah but it still looks cool right???"

Wish scanning wouldn't make the values so skewed, it's fooked even after ps tweeking.

Sketchin', sketchin', sketchin', screwing up, sketchin'

It's like creature from the Black Lagoon, and some other crap I can't put my finger on. Maybe some thrall of Cthullhu. Either way, that left arm is useless.

I kill bitches for less. Sketches, sketching, I actually sketched.

New Cover for The Gate

So Rob and I are putting together The Gate(a short story collection we have) with new illustrations and a new cover. It's one of the first man-made environments I've worked on in such a long time and it caused me a few headaches, which is funny since it's only 1-point perspective. I used some tricks I'd learned from some of the fine tutorials put out by Massive Black and although it felt awkward at first I know it'll only get easier as I utilize them more.

So here is a truncated view of the progression. I still have a ways to go as far as rendering is concerned, and may end up revamping the figure entirely, but so far I'm having fun with it.

Almost there.

Here's the mostly finished image. Still have a ways to go, but it's going well. Rendering everything out is taking a bit longer than I'd like but it's all good. I keep reminding myself, patience patience patience...
