SleepyOni: Illustration! - Holiday 2016 Edition

Crap

As some things continue to be awful, at least I can paint awkward fake-retro illustrations!  HUZZAH!

 Miki Tanaka as Anju the wolf girl in "Bakko Yokaiden Kibakichi 2", 2004.

Yes, her hair is actually that big.

practice

Yup, more practice.

Fallout: Australis concept work

My art style has never really qualified as "fast" and/or "loose", but that's what I was trying to channel here.  Maybe 3 or 4 hours total, working as fast I was able.  Plenty that's awful or ineffective, but there are bits of this I quite like.
Fallout: Australis is still a thing in the back of my head...bolstered by Mad Max, it keeps reappearing.  Mad Max, but with ghouls and an invading Imperial Robot Army.   And plasma rifles.

Experiments

I know very little about skintones/color theory, etc. Experimenting to try and figure some things out.

Also a leisurely reprieve whilst trying to recover from a pinched nerve (resulting in shooting pain the length of my dominant arm.

revamping some stuff

Working on revamping some older things, to put on some tshirts. I'm really weird about how shirts fit me, so once I find something I like I buy several. In this case, black tshirts that i'm stenciling/printing my own art onto. At gencon this year I want to be representing my own peculiar sensibilities, not anyone else's product.

Or not.  I'm not the boss of you.

Full Moon #45: Teen Wolf

Michael J. Fox in "Teen Wolf", 1985.  

Paperback cover & book. For fun.

Made a little paperback and cover in the Choose-Your-Own-Adventure style.  100 pages, filled up with scans of a bunch of stuff from my sketchbooks as well as more recent digital work.  Printed out masters of the interior pages at home, then copied those double-sided pages at the local copy place, with decidedly mixed results.  Oh well.  Original cover painting & layout, printed onto cardstock and the whole thing perfect-bound and trimmed.  4.25 x 6.75", roughly.
...and a build video on youtube on the SleepyOni channel.

Reprieve

Ernest Borgnine in "The Devil's Rain", 1975.  Consider this a temporary Full Moon Reprieve. Because, you know, Easter's coming up.

Full Moon #44: El Charro De Las Calaveras

Wolfguy from "El Charro De Las Calaveras", 1965. 

Full Moon #43: Idle Roomers

Wolfman from "Idle Roomers", 1944.  AKA The Three Stooges Meet The Wolfman.

Full Moon #42: Frankenstein, El Vampiro Y Compania

Wolfman from "Frankenstein, El Vampiro Y Compania", 1962.
Holds a special place in my heart due to the wolfman mask being constructed out of cardboard and cotton balls.  No actual attempt at makeup was made for this film, and I find that kind of endearing.

practice

practice continues.  trying different tools than I normally use in Sketchbook Pro.  From ref.
