Fun_spl.DidiConceptInkTest

I did some sketches on the comic paper I was planning on using for Splinter so I could ink it and see how it behaves with the G-Pen, and it is just insane. Feels like butter, I don't know. Crazy smooth, but not loose and out of control.

Fun_spl.DidiConcept

Noticed I had a drawing from exactly this publish date, but from 2015.

It's one of my first concept sketches of Didi from Splinter.

Ooh, Friday the 13th in 2013, huh? Experimenting with more graphic design-style or magazine-like presentation for that Inktober piece.

More experimentation for Inktober 15, this one is straight to inks, no pencils, but was going off a photo ref.

Fun_Calt.Zombz

My first card alter that I ever published (on Twitter for Inktober 15). I used these paint pens that I thought I saw Pete using at GP Chiba, but these can't be right...they're really hard to mix...but discovered a better brand at The Last Sun 15...

Fun_LikeIDo

G-Pen and minimal Copics to round this off. Keep trying for the two-tone motif, but never quite gels.

Fun Facts: Wanted to test out using a ruler with a G-Pen, which is scary, but I think I'm getting the hang of it, though I keep smearing the lines unless I am paying intense attention.

Easter Eggs: Kanji is To minus the Sai.

Fun_LikeIDo_Lines

Drawing these guys for Inktober 15.

I wanted to draw something with backgrounds, because love the way they can suggest a story in an image, as if you're just visiting, poking in to something in progress.

I was thinking of those lonely times in Japanese restaurants during crowded company parties.
And also Yorkside Pizza.

I love cameras for how quickly they can establish a world. Studied a pic of Mat and Kim.

Fun_ItGetsWorser

One of my favorite drawings of 2015 here.
I had just finished Inktober, and wanted to go heavy into pencils, couldn't bring myself to ink him.

And hey, the old counter thing says this is my 1,000th post! WOW!
But that's inaccurate because I'm still behind and missed a post a few summers ago, etc.

It's the naught that counts.

Fun_Sworda_Pencils

I found some blank, heavy postcards at the art store that looked so great for drawing so I set out to figure out what to do with them.

I haven't drawn many swords so thought I'd try something like that out here. Only tangentially inspired by Jake Wyatt here.

Fun_HeadHolda

With visitations from the underwhelmed,
She fears to hold my broken head,
Why were you gone, why were you gone so long?
She is the reason why I still believe.

A study.

Hare_Tok.Sunshine

This was one of three commissions I received to design Hareruya player cards. This is the head honcho himself, Tomoharu Saito. You can win this series of player cards from their lucky pack dealio by scoring a B (or higher, I imagine).

Here's what the background looks like. I always think its neat to see the stuff all out of context. I really had fun with the front branch, oddly enough. The trees were tedious but fun, too.

Easter Eggs: My favorite mana symbol in the clouds.

And here are our pencils. The brief was to reference his old Stompy days, so we were to reference the old Might of Oaks of that era. I even worked the squirrel in there.
