Some Sketches to Tide You Over

I'm working on updating S&C; I'm reorganizing my thoughts and trying to lay in a solid "game plan" for what comes next.

In the meantime, here's a couple of sketches I've done.  Nothing special or significant as pertains to the story, just a couple of pictures that came to mind that I wanted to keep for future reference.

I'd gotten a new sketchbook to keep all the drawings for this project consistent (the top image).  I was using Tuscan Red and a Cream Prisma for the drawings, but I don't like the way it scans in.  The bottom three images were done in a separate sketchbook on Velvet Grey Strathmore, same color Prismas, and you can see how much of a difference the paper makes.  

I had a few other colors that I was testing out.  The Dark Brown Prisma that I used with White in the drawing below looks a lot better, I think.

Here are some other colors I was considering.

Merry Christmas!

I've been having a crappy kinda week so far - I know it's only Tuesday, so I guess it's been a lousy couple of weeks, but anyway.

To cheer myself up and try and banish this overly dreary mood I've been in, I decided to have some fun and threw together this little piece.  

My little gift to all you who have been keeping an eye on my progress over the past few months.  I love you guys!

These were done in Illustrator - I've been working on a Christmas card with a similar "cartoony" theme and started messing around until I had all of these.  Anyway, I hope they make you smile.  I did when I was making them.

Happy Hols!  

Character Sketch - Shep

Okay, it's finally up!  I've decided that I'm not quite happy with the design/presentation concept yet - I think it still needs . . .  something.  But that's the great thing about this - I can come back and revisit things as much as I need to until it feels right.

As always, I love feedback so let me know what you think!

S&C Poster Concept

Here it is! Goal 1.5 for this weekend reached!

This was the unanimous design choice here at the Silkwood house.  It's just a mock-up, but the idea isn't going to change much.  Let me know what you think!
