BWD launch
Well, I've been completely quiet here for some time now. To some degree, this is because I've been haunting Tumblr more these days with my sillier doodles. Another big timesink has been the Four Kingdoms webcomic, which incidentally launched today. Hence, this post.
The comic's official title is now "Beyond the Western Deep." It'll follow the adventures of Quinlan the squirrel (and his best buddy Dakkan the otter) as they're drawn into a political crisis in the already unstable world of the Four Kingdoms.
This is my first stab at doing a webcomic, so I hope to learn all kinds of awesome things along the way. It will update daily this week as a sort of launch party, and then settle into a weekly Saturday update schedule.

Some random arts!
I realize it's been some time since I posted, so let's throw some drawings around!
A tribute to Mr. Brian Jacques, the man who shaped my childhood and taste in fiction. He died of a heart attack on the 5th.
In which I biff crocodilian anatomy. My excuse is I didn't have internet (and thus reference) at the time, but I guess it's kinda cool anyway.
Attempting to learn how to use watercolors again. This time I come armed with paints that are dark/rich enough to allow actual value contrast.
Aaand some more Mossflower boards, of a pretty short scene. It's a warmup for a much longer scene that will probably take me months to finish. >:)

I wish I could draw airplanes the way this guy can. So much life and appeal in objects that are completely inorganic!
I also wish I could read French.

storyboardin' critters
Well, for a bit now I've been working with a group of Redwall fans who want to try to make a fan-created, feature-length version of Mossflower, which is hands-down my favorite book in the entire series. I do have lurking doubts at our ability to pull out a finished product, but right now this is the best side-project ever for me.
And why is that, you ask?
The answer is STORYBOARDS! :D
The group setting provides excellent motivation to do regular boards, which is helping me practice not-sucking. I also get to teach a lot, since pretty much everyone is younger than me and hasn't really done this before. So even though it's me drawing the stuff I always like to draw, it's been good for me on tons of levels.
Here is a scene I recently finished - the first real scene in the film. As with all "finished" things, I have located a bajillion flaws already. Perhaps my buddies who read this blog can help locate a few more, haha!

some scifi?!
I got Mass Effect as a birthday present, and enjoyed it quite a bit! Every time I saw a krogan, I wanted to draw it. This may very well be my first real attempt at scifi, haha. I discovered that guns are about the most unnatural thing for me to draw, especially futuristic ones. It kinda makes me want to practice and learn how.

some ssssSSSssSssewing fun!
I've been playing around with another cool game this summer, and that game is Minecraft. You might have heard of it - over the past month, it's virtually exploded with popularity as well-known gaming and Youtube sources have pimped it. And it is a pretty fun game, for reasons I'll let you look up yourself.
Because I've been doing a lot of freelance illustration work lately, I've been eager to find a project OFF the computer to tackle. Eventually I want to make my own stuffed Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon, but I haven't made a plush of any kind since I was about 10 years old. So I thought I'd practice on something simple.
Which is where Minecraft comes in.
If Minecraft has a poster child, it is this thing:
It may look like the most terrifying cactus you've ever seen, but this is one of the game's monsters. Known as a Creeper, it makes absolutely no sound until it's RIGHT next to you, which is when you hear a "*tch* sssSSSsssSSS...", followed by a BOOM if you don't get out of the blast radius fast enough. This is very good at hurting you and damaging things you've built.
How cute! Let's make a stuffed animal out of it! :V

Hooters gotta hoot!
Not long ago, I stumbled unexpectedly into the fact that owls are awesome and amazing amounts of fun to draw.
