Big timin'.

Enormous post here. Going to try to get a few months in one go. Below are sketchbook works, commissions, comic exercises, drawings from Korea, and on. Want it all in one so it doesn't clog the works too bad. Enjoy!

First off, some samples from the sketchbook. Started doing watercolors, working more with digital, and revisiting anatomy. here are some of the dailies.

Next, we'll kick off with some storyboards! These are for a nonsmoking campaign in Louisiana. It aired a bit ago and a lot of these made it. First gig that gets aired, and it's me selling out as a smoker... sounds about right.

Now, to comics. Here are some exercises from a course, starting with "fill in the middle" and finishing with an exercise in doing a script as four panels or one. You can tell I was watching a lot of True Detective at the time.

And lastly, some original comics (sort of)! The scripts are old Static Shock and Y: The Last Man offerings. The tight roughs for the second set of Y didn't quite get to where I wanted them, but I like them nonetheless.  I really like my redesign for Static. I pulled a lot from nineties rappers. The sets are the same script two different ways. Bonus: Can anybody spot Travis?

And that's about all she wrote for now. Thanks for taking a look. I'll be posting more soon.

B-b-b-beat Boards.

Hey all, here are some sort-of-beat boards done for friends shooting a film over the coming year. They needed images for a scene that was tech- and CGI-heavy, so I enlisted the assistance of the unimaginably fantastic Brandon Moore to work on them with me (read: teach me how to do them correctly to the best of his ability). 

It was an extremely good time and I hope more work like this comes along, especially from these folks. Much thanks to Jonas, Constance, Matt T. and the whole crew.

The scene is a bunch of guys on a raft in a nasty storm. The subject goes into the water to rescue his buddy as the camera drifts in and out of the water with him.  He bobs in and out, watching the raft flip, ending with bodies in the water.

Habitat sketches.

I've been trying to focus on what I'm worst at lately -- environments. Here are some from New Orleans before and during Mardi Gras.

Character Designs!

Spent a ton of hours on this one, I hope it shows. She's a heroine based on a very close friend, which provided me with an outstanding amount of reference. I'm not sure what kind of world I'd like to put her in, but it was a very fun fun, if stressful, project.

Her bow is stretchable, according to her will. I think that's pretty cool.
