Keep The Noise Low

I began my painting of the girl with the key in her mouth. I want to call it "unlocked". I've been very busy with school. Trying to get a more storyboards done to put into my portfolio. I do want to get into storyboarding and comic art as careers. I have also been sketching as i normally do and I have drawn some gems this week. So here they go...
The First one here is a character from of the Escapist stories. Really cool story about a female escapist trying to join the real Escapist, but he doesn't know whether to trust her becuase she might work for an evil organization. Anyway, I always like to draw the pretty ladies.
Another Midnight Rose sketch. I know you can't tell it's him but I just wanted to have one of those moments where the hero get's his 2nd wind.
And I'll just call this sketch, "The Crustacean Ressurection"

So yes a lot has been getting done. But for this week I will do two paintings for Assembly Required. I missed last week( I told you, BUSY). But now since I'm done with the storyboards I can get back to the weekly themes. Which i will be doing and posting onto that site.
So now I leave you with a process photo of "Unlocked".
Have a good one,
Mar

Though It's Shallow I Would Lie in it...

So i got an idea while talking to Roderick and looking at his newest full blown painting. He was telling me about skeleton keys and I just think that they look really cool. So i wanted to add like a woman's face enticing the viewer. Have a kinda of look like come and get it if you think you need it. I just have to find a way to make the key more prominent. This is one painting i plan on planning? Also i would like to use this on my postcard and business card.

From The Glass 20 Stories High...

This blog has been in the back of my mind when it should be closer to the frontal lobe. My school year is back in full swing. And there is probably a sketch being done about every 3 hours now.

And since i'll be adding more sketches now every now and then more frequently, i'll have more things i'm reading and want to be reading or watching. Right now, not at this moment, but anyways, right now I'm reading crooked little vein. A book by Warren Ellis. It's very crazy and wild, slighty crazier than Irvine Welsh's books. It's a great book i recommend it to anyone who likes to read the word "the" you'll be surprised, shocked, and satisfied. I swear i thought i would go through my life without hear the words masturbation and godzilla in the same sentence. I didn't even think those two words would ever be connected. anyway read it.

Here are some random sketches. Two characters i've shown before and two other random sketches.

The lost two i'm calling "man and wife"

I Laughed Myself To Sleep

Been sketching much bigger lately. School is almost ready to begin and I am awaiting to get back into the thick of the challenge of painting assignments but not those godforsaken written assignments for the academic classes. Been writing my story "Asleep" for which i am proud of taking initiative for. If you hang out with me i have told you about it. If not just ask and i can give you the gist. The characters that are shown right now are characters from "Death After the Apocalypse" a little dark comedy i'm thinking of doing which i have also started writing. Check out the sketches.

Things I Want

This is all mainly a reminder for me so pay no attention...

Your Art it brought me to my Knees!!!

It's been a little more than ten days since i last posted something. A lot has happened in the past two weeks. Well not a lot but some major events. Wizard World chicago preparation and execution were two things that took up most of my time and money. It was well worth it. Also a great artist in the comic book industry passed away, and i know that its about 5 days late to say something but still, Mike Wieringo was a great artist and was an artistic inspiration to me. Also he made an impact on artists all over the web from penny-arcade to pvponline.com and all the artists on drawingboard. Just wanted to say even though i never really met him he still made an impact. Mike you're missed and still admired.

Some sketches of friends and random viewing:

100 Fables, Myths, and Legends is back!

Heres the recent entry in the Series. Enjoy it. I've been a little sickly lately so i have had time. If you did not know this is the myth of Icarus. It was really difficult getting the feathers to look right in my eyes. I think i accomplished making them look like wings. Yellow and red were used to give a burning feeling to the painting. I gave this piece a little bit of chaos to show that this guy is not going to make it. I really like how it turned out.
