A sequential sketchpage...

I was just playing around a bit in my sketchbook and felt like doing something quick with sequentials. Here was my level of excitement throughout the process:
1. Pencils-excited
2. Inks-disappointed (I really do not like to use spot blacks, they just seem wonky to me)
3. zip-tones-eh, but needed more. Originally I was going to try the whole thing that way.
4. painter/watercolor-just started out with the main figures in a paynes gray type color.
5. Watercolor the BG-started bringing in some various colors, for my photoshop approach it's best to have multiple colors to play off of.
6. Photoshop effects-I use some brush effects and custom brushes to take out some zip-tones and add highlights, burn in some colors.

Ultimately, I ended up loving the final product. It just shows how fickle I am during the process, but I love to work at something until I enjoy the final outcome.

However, next time, I'm sticking with open lines, no spotted black areas.

TV day...

Today was the first quiet day alone in the house. So I was catching up on a lot of shows, and I watched the movie High Tension. Fun stuff. Usually I end up hating a lot of horror films because of annoying characters, or a crappy ending, but I really dug this film.

First new picture of the year...

Last of 2006!

I just made it in time, it's around 11:30 my time, so it still counts. I just wanted to get in one last drawing before it turns 2007. I was talking to Tom Feister this afternoon, and he said he'd like to see a Nightwing pic done by me. So here it is. I really like how the final product came out.

So, now that the need for fine motor skills for the night is complete, I've got a bottle of Jack Daniels with my name on it. If I'm still coherent enough, I'll try and see if I can draw something. But anyways, I've gotta' say Happy New Years to everyone, and let's hope 2007 is much better than 2006 was!
