Mood Piece

Something that came into mind almost fully-formed...

More from the sketchbooks

Some sketches on the bus from last month...

More colour experimentation

Yours to enjoy or not, done with Pitt Brush Pens and Prismacolor Premiers(among other devices). I like these tools.

Side-Sketches for Local Hero: Jack Little

Fansketching the Tenth Doctor

Just because I felt like it last night. I don't expect to earn any commissions on the strength of this.

Clearing the decks

Because I felt like it, and because it now feels like I'm making additional progress on the art front...a picture of my drafting table.

Sketching in Confederation Park

I've been in Confederation Park in Ottawa's Centretown district from time to time, sketching whatever's either in front of me or passing by the bench I'm sitting on. This fell into the latter...

A Dragon, Just Because

Seemed like the thing to throw into the blog. Used Prismacolor 01 and 001 black pens for this one...

And, yes, Toronto was good. More on that on my other blog...

Toronto - The Plan

Some good news:

I'm going to be in Toronto this weekend for the Paradise Comicon, and I'm set for table AA12 in Artists' Alley.

Looking forward to seeing many old and new faces there!

Character Design/Studies - U.S. Steel and Gator Jones

Hi again. I'm revisiting Gator Jones for a little bit here, and throwing in some facial expression studies of U.S. Steel - one of the antagonists of Local Hero - while I'm at it.

Something that got drilled into my head in animation school - rightly - is the need to explore how your characters would express their every mood variation. Or at least as many as you could imagine them expressing, publicly or privately.

I must post entries here more often.
