Draw-A-Day February Day 26

Part of a Project with Arthouse Co-Op called Infinite Scroll: Space.

''The Infinite Scroll series is inspired by the surrealist drawing exercise known as exquisite corpse, in which a group of people work collaboratively on a drawing without seeing the other parts that come before and after. Sign up and we'll email you the template and instructions for creating your design, drawing, or illustration of a journey through outer space. We're expecting aliens, nebulas, orbiting objects, and anything else you can invent!''

Hope You like it. 

Draw-A-Day February Day 13 Bonus Character Design

I wanted to try something a bit different so I decided to create a quirky female character. I like how some artists use patterns to colour flats and decided to create my own patterns to do that with. I am really please with how it worked out and will definitely try it again.

A new character design for my ongoing struggle with the Sketchbook Project graphic novel I am working on. His name is 'Hipster Dawg'.

The Sketchbook Project

Before the new year started I finally received my sketchbook for The Sketchbook Project. I have signed up for the tour which is going to be a collection of graphic novels. I have completely thumbnailed one idea which was... baaaaaaaaaaaaaad. It was derivative and trying way to had to feign that it was interesting, it really wasn't. I have wiped the slate clean and started again trying to do something more interesting and I think I have it.

A quick character design for my Sketchbook Project Graphic Novel

I love it when a plan comes together...

I have been overflowing with ideas this summer but have neglected to really explore them. I have finally gotten down to exploring my ideas both narratively and visually. Here is my first rendition of the Monsters from my as yet untitled Monster comic. I'm really happy with them after days of discarded exploratory sketches my final designs all came together really quickly. 

Hope you like them.

I hope to be more active on this blog from now on as I want to keep creating content for my various ideas.

Getting to know the inhabitants...

Today has been a rather fruitful day in regards to creating new inhabitants to the world I have created but not so much in regards to getting any closer to the end product. Today I explored both the animal and more civilised creatures that inhabit the world of Hive. The kandu, grallop and ferogast will all make appearances eventually but what I have to show you today is the Underdwellers. They will be included on an info card in the Tales From The Hive folder bundle that I am creating for this project. The further I get into this world the more comfortable I feel. I feel like everything is there and I see it in a blurry haze I just need to put what I can down on paper to get a clear picture and I hope anyone who happens on this blog will join me in exploring it.

So here is a picture of an Underdweller

Packaging Challenge... Or Challenging Package

Recently I've been working on an interesting way to package my most recent project. I've been designing some graphics for it based on the location where all the content inside will be set. The colours aren't final and I'm not sure where it will be placed on the product but I'm happy with the design.
