something other than SR Nerdery:

Okay, another experiment with digital. Took a base image, roughed in the base shapes, drew a super-rough linework version, then moved to refining shapes & color. Ditched the linework partway through and focused on making the shapes clear. This, at long last, is something resembling a painting. Not a particularly good painting, mind you, but a painting nevertheless.

Perhaps there's something to that whole "draw EVERY DAY" thing.

P.S. Please forgive the remarkably lame attire/pose. It's the reference I had available.

More SR nonsense....

More shadowrun characters, all digital. We decided to play an extra game on our regular off-week, so had a bit of a time crunch on these. Not happy with most of 'em, but I am getting a good chance to try new tricks. Feel like skin tones are at least beginning to approach something I will eventually be happy with.

Final 2 player characters...

Two more Shadowrun characters (all digital), and then two older drawings I added color to...trying to build a stockpile of characters for the guy running it to reference. Top left is my character, the Brit. Haveta say this is the best game I've played in a while. I am super geeked-out.

2 more...

Two more for Shadowrun. 1st up is "Masher" Thompson, disgraced boxer. Followed by some random NPC. NERD!
Both of these are all-digital. Think I need to do more work on the 1st one - colors seem way too flat. Oh well, will do more later.

A Convict, a Wanker, and a Priest walk into a bar...

Character sketches for a game of Shadowrun I'm partaking in. This is 1/2 the crew. Bunch of quick sketches(usually @ work), that are then photographed & photoshopped. It's a quick process, which is great given my minuscule attention span. More to come.

experiment (and an oldie)

I've been playing with the tablet more, trying to come to grips with color. Having a ridiculously difficult time of it. Not that I have any grasp of color to begin with, but the whole digital-color working differently than pigments is messin' with me as well.

Came across an old illo from a couple years ago. I love Elsa Lanchester.

1 done(?), 1 started

Finished (sort of) the one, started on another. Found this rad old photo of a very odd collection of people. Made me think of some top-secret 1920's adventurers' society. Complete with mad scientist, resourceful socialite, and brawny manservant. Awesome.

Jesus, I'm nerdy.
