PSA

Here's a rough for a public service announcement I've pitched to Food for Life Canada, a charity that collects food from grocery stores, etc, and delivers it to food banks, shelters, and other needy places. The final will have a voiceover and look a lot nicer, but hopefully this gets the idea across!

Triple Post!

Here we are. End of the semester, and three paintings for your perusal. In reality, they're all fairly big. The first two are the finished versions of Marvin Gaye and Erykah Badu from wayback (I hope she meets with Eshwin's approval this time around), the third is a new one, of folk-blues god Chris Smither. With a face like that, I suppose a pop music career is closed to you.

Sorry the pictures are so blurry!

Computer project

Here's a quick animation I did for my computer class. All in all, about 2 solid days work. Next semester, I'll be doing a bigger project, so watch out!

PS - Making sense was not a prerequisite of the project.

Since it's been a while...

Here's basically a more involved doodle, like everything on this blog it's not quite finished. The colours aren't very vivid on this scan, and I cropped off her boobs because they weren't painted all that well. Oh, and you can't tell here, but the sort of brown-y bits are fake gold leaf.

Look forward to some major posting next week, with any luck!

Baduism, part 3

Here's Erykah Badu again. I need to skinny up her cheeks a bit, smooth out a bit on the neck and shoulders, and make the eyes bigger, but I think the rest will stay pretty much the same. Next up: D'angelo, I think.

Rhinofish!

For this month's Mighty Wall: Hybrid Animals.

The battle continues

Here's where I'm at with Marvin Gaye and Erykah Badu. With Marvin, it's mostly a matter of punching up the colour and contrast from here on in. For Erykah, I have no idea where I'm going with it, but it's been a lot of fun so far. I'll post the final versions once they're done.

Halloween and Superheroics

Tessar posted a challenge on his blog for other Sheridanites to do superhero sketches. After Fred's masterful turn as Cyclops this Halloween, I couldn't resist the opportunity to show off the superheroes I hang out with every day. Here we have Fred as Cyclops, Rey as Nightcrawler, Tessar as Batman, and Chad as Tony Stark/Iron Man. Daredevil and Supergirl appear as their own badass selves. Finally, here's me in my Halloween costume from this week. I figured it was my last chance to be Ghost Rider before the movie comes out and ruins everything.

Another Rough

Work continues on Marvin Gaye, hopefully he'll be done in a day or two. In the meantime, I'm kicking around ideas for the next one. Erykah Badu maybe?

Marvin Gaye - Final Rough

Here's a rough for a painting I'll be doing next week. The plan is to do a series of R&B legends, they'll be about 18"x24" in the end.

The Hook

Here's another visual narrative assignment. The outline: a four-panel conversation, with a "hook" at the end. My friend here seems to be Steve Leduc, but in platform shoes.

Why you shouldn't spit into the wind.

Here's a quick little assignment for my Visual Narrative class. Be forewarned, it's been established that this is little bit avant-garde for some people.
