Still More Emotions Illos

So far this has been a bit more fun to do than the Memories book, because I have had the chance to draw people rather than robots. Not to say the robots weren't fun but people are so darn cool. 'Next to no time to shoot reference so just about all of this stuff is right out of my head. A plus to doing illos for high school students is that you can create content that is a little more mature in nature; people in bathtubs and kissing (I don't think I've ever illustrated kissing before) and the like. Funny thing about the tub; I originally drew the ruff below because I thought it would be funny but the editor's comment was" Why is that guy in the bath with his clothes on? What does that mean? Put somebody else in the tub, a girl, who really appears to be relaxing..." Well you do what the editor wants, so there is the finish under the ruff with ipod docking station included. Hope you like them.

Five Items Or Less...

Will return next week...Dealines, deadlines, deadlines, busy busy. stay tuned.

Emotions_More Stuff

Greetings, so I posted a ruff version of the one above earlier, here's the finish.

Here's more stuff below, Can you tell which emotions these are describing?...If you want to see the ruffs for these let me know.

The Things We Artists Do For Our Fellow Man...

Like making a traffic signal in 10 minutes. Click it. It works. One day I may actually figure out how to make a animated gif work on the main page...

5 Items Or Less...Week 2

What do these two things have in common?

They both suck.

I am deeply ashamed to say, I just haven't had time to crank out anything better for this challenge. I'll get something up soon. Stay tuned. Some emotion stuff is coming. Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry suck suck suck suck.

5 Items Or Less Results - Week One.

'Completely overestimated the time I would have to work on this, but I pulled this out my (um) toolbox this morning. I was thinking, since the Clone Wars is teetering on the edge of suck, what if it was with animals instead? I do like the slickness of the character designs form the original series and wanted to stick to those designs. The animals could be clones and even Jedi's, just on a mission to save the planet from the whims and follies of mankind...sounds really dorky but I couldn't get the image of a jaguar welding a light saber, or a polar bear storm trooper out of my head. Here is a really rough ruff. The mustang kinda looks like the Back to the Future Delorean. talk about tangent-land! Yeesh! Since this could be something really dumb, yet cool I am extending this week's 5 Items or Less another week. So all of you sleepers out there (Joyce, Joe, Naomi etc...) will have a little more time to think about doing it when you actually won't.

Aaannnnd just to make me feel totally inadequate, Kyle Van Meurs cranked out this awesomeness. Meorrr! So that means, Kyle you get a coffee for the week! Maybe a Big Hunk.
So folks, be like Kyle and make me wish I had taken that construction job back in high school and go do some coolness this week with the extra time you have. See your 5 items or Less next week and thanks for looking. Have fun drawing!
