Emma Frost *Work in Progress*

I read somewhere this week that an art blog should be more than just re-posts of images available elsewhere… Good idea, I thought. Here’s a look into my process on one of the pinups that I’m working on. I try to spend about 1 or 2 hours in the early morning doing vector drawing every [...]

Random Updates

Hey, is anybody out there? There’s been a serious lack of postings here lately, sorry about that! I temporarily lost my inspiration… but I think it’s back now. The good news is that I’ve learned a lot of new tricks in the past few months. It blows my mind that a year ago I thought [...]

Odji Preview Page: Part 4

Now we’re getting somewhere! It only took a couple hours to flesh this page out and get it ready for production. I’m using lots of tricks here that I learned on Brian Denham’s site. If you’re drawing in Illustrator, make sure to check it out. Unlike him, I draw using the pen tool, but stuff [...]

Please Stand By……

Yes, we have been on an unexpected hiatus with Ankhammentu, but there is plenty more to come. Between Joe’s technical difficulties, my wife and I adjusting to life with a newborn, and the fact that this is strictly a free time undertaking for both of us, nothing much has gotten done over the past month [...]

Page 6 Progress

Just checking in from the road. I’ve been out of town for a few days and away from my Wacom tablet, so I’ll I’ve been able to do is rendering. The good news is that I’ve made some progress on page 6. This is what the rough rendered versions of the page looks like. I [...]
