aaaand, we're back to the digital speedpaints.  I like to call this one "Good Thing I Can Fly, or, Where the F@*k Are My Legs?"

2 hours, 100% photoshop.  Woo! 

Sick of her dreary day-to-day life working the night shift as a custodian to an ungrateful boss, she hikes every morning into the hills to be with the birds.  As she imagines flying up and away with them, she finds peace and her own kind of happiness before she must return to her painful existence...

I decided to get crazy with texture brushes and have at it in photoshop for about ~5 minutes. This is what came out.

new painting

~2.5 hours, photoshop CS3. Yup.

really really quick sketch

~15 min, all photoshop.

I watched The Dark Knight a few weeks ago (again), and besides me walking around annoying Eve with the "wHy So sERIouS??" line all the time, I've also been working on some logo prelims for a sketch comedy troupe. Thus, besides the craft fair I'm putting on, my brain has been all about clowns.

Anyway, I slept early (~12:45ish) and am now feeling overloaded with things to do before I go to work at 12:30. So, I wanted to throw up a sketch and get back to work.

Also, I taught the Japanese Stab Binding class last night at Paper Source, and although we didn't get through as many stitches as I wanted to, I think everyone took away a good deal of basic stab binding knowledge and hopefully they can apply it to many more books.

Wolf in wolf's clothing

This was a recent try at doing something really graphic (as in 'not rendered' as opposed to 'explicit'). I originally did a quick sketch in photoshop with the intention of fully rendering it out, but I liked a lot of the linework and decided to keep it pretty simple.

The title is "Wolf in Wolf's Clothing." Get it?

Guess who this is?

I think I got the spirit of this guy. And yes, the background is a pretty dead giveaway, if your aren't a nimrod, but whatever. Done for Illustration 1 in photoshop and I didn't have the time to get super creative. Not 100% happy, but eh, maybe I'll work more on it when I come around (to it).

On a more serious note, the values on his face could be worked on a bit more, but alas.
