Nerd Night drawings

The better drawings from the NPC stack for nerd night. Running a one-shot involving Nazi SuperScience and...well, nerdery. Did about 10 other drawings, most of which are complete and utter sketchbook trash. But these, I actually like.

All digital, from various references.

Craftwork-A-Go-Go

So, I've been working on this off'n on for months. The Alien Blaster from Fallout 3. Everything cheezy and fun about 1950's scifi design shows up on this thing. Great curve, fins, radiator discs on the barrel; I love it. So of course I have to make one. Took a bunch of really bad camphone shots from the game (straight off my tv, no less), had the blaster next to a pack of cigarettes(in-game, at least). From there extrapolated the "real world" dimensions. Roughly.

Lathed some rounded shapes outta foam, cast those in Apoxyscult, sanded like crazy.
Laminated some plastic sheet together for the flat shapes. Was on attempt #2 of the barrel when I discovered much better shots online, realized my basic design was pretty far off. So, I'm on to attempt #3.
But that's fine. As with all this crap, the problem-solving process is what I really enjoy. Strategizing how exactly to accomplish something. And it's always nice to actually be building something, after so much digital work.
I've also got this in the works; for a Shadowrun game where we're all playing cops in 2040 Seattle. Immediately after the Night of Rage, if anyone's familiar with SR. 'Cuz really, how could we play a cop game without poorly crafted plastic badges?

done. i think.

Yeah, i think i'm done with this one. That's right, self-doubt. Suck it.

new stuff

So having lost July to 'too-many-projects-i'm-to-stressed-can't-decide', and the bulk of August to an existential funk, I'm finally forcing myself back to doing something creative. We had a project we were prepping for that has(to date, at least) not moved forward whatsoever. Had a bunch of things I didn't want to get engrossed in, not wanting to be distracted from said currently non-existant project. So. This is a couple hours in, and is the first remotely creative thing I've done in weeks.

Damn you, existential funk!

super-quick & digital

Umm, yeah. The title says it all.

Done.

I'm calling it done.

more practice

Various stages of a yet another digital piece. I'm a sucker for going back and watching the progression of things, after the fact. Maybe that's part of why I document so much of it. Dunno.
