This is the new t-shirt design for my band Occultist. I feel that the band counts as one of the long term projects. I've been in the group for a few months...
It's a bat.
I'm working on a comic book with the writer/director Eric Miller. His movie Mark of the Damned is one of my favorites. Good thing he lives in Richmond Va. This makes working together easier.
This "comic" is going to take many of my times so please don't hold your breath on account of this stuff. At this point I'm still only working out characters in my sketch book and doing a few thumb nail pages. (I will show some more of these later in the Blog)
more sketches...
dinosaurs and more...
and a robot.
Remember the good old days when I did Blogs about the cute cartoon animals? Well they're back! And I've got big news, I'm at work on a comic with some of these animals in it.
"Two comic books?!?" you say' "You must be out of your skull!?! Where do you find the time?"
One answer is, I don't Blog anymore. Another answer is that, I have a habit of biting off more than I can chew. Just look at this damn Blog, it's waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long. I just can't stop myself. It's not like I don't have plenty of things I need to be working on. I have deadlines looming, a child on the way and I need to get my drives license. So, what do I do? I start not one but two comic books and then I Blog about them, genius.
The idea was also to get this Blog done quickly.
It has not been a quick process at all. It's taken me a while and, so I'm not getting it checked for spelling. Please be kind with the criticism.
The book is going well. I think people will like it in the end.
Here are a few thumb nail drawings. I put them all together so 1. you could just read them and spoil the comic and 2. thumb nails are drawn quickly and don't look that hot. I thought putting these together would make them look cooler. I don't know if that's the case but it did take me a lot of time. So, please enjoy this on a few different levels because I worked too hard on these.
I was also listening to this crappy comedy radio station on my computer while I worked on this, torture! Please, please enjoy this, even though it's a bit long.
It's like ideas in motion or something. Please agree, now.
So in conclusion, I spelled some stuff wrong and the Blog has too much junk in it. Better luck next time.
