I’ll have the color version up, in the Pelkern Cycle thread (instead of here on the concept art thread), later today. 🙂
Webcomics from Concept Art
Foliage Study
Concept Art week. This is one of my first digital paintings, from 2016. I sat on the stone steps in front of our townhouse with the smallest-size Wacom tablet hooked into a cheap laptop. I painted the foliage that I could see just beyond the parking lot, and I thought “maybe this whole digital thing… Continue reading Foliage Study
My Favorite Drawings from Chapter 2
There will be a 3 week page break while I do the prep work for Chapter Three. For this first week, here are close-ups of some of my favorite drawings from Chapter 2. 😀
Pelkern Card
We’re on week 2 of the three week page break between chapters. I’m still busy as a beaver with the prep-work for Chapter 3. In the meantime, here is the Pelkern card I handed out at Hutchmoot (an arts conference). Drawing the setting on this reminded me how excited I am to get to Pelkern.… Continue reading Pelkern Card
Close-up of Characters on Pelkern Card
Week 3 of the three week break between chapters. Next week I post Page 46, the cover page for Chapter 3. This is a close-up of the characters from the Pelkern card. I’m especially happy with how Carolyn turned out. I partially based her pose off of Caravaggio’s painting David with the head of Goliath… Continue reading Close-up of Characters on Pelkern Card
Close-up of Lineart: Ace and Carolyn
I got a new digital drawing tablet in an early Black Friday sale, and I am loving it. I can get more fluid and dynamic lines with this tablet than I could with my last one. This is the line-art of Ace and Carolyn from an upcoming page. I am also getting better at drawing… Continue reading Close-up of Lineart: Ace and Carolyn
Concept Art: Anatomy Study
Over the holiday vacation, I took the opportunity to brush up on my human anatomy. I read and sketched the diagrams from my favorite anatomy book, David K Rubins’ Anatomy for Artists. This is one of the sketches from those studies. I’m currently working on Pages 49-50. Unfortunately I won’t be able to post Page 49… Continue reading Concept Art: Anatomy Study
Line-art from Page 51
Page 49 goes up next week (on Wednesday the 12th). This is my favorite line-art from one of the upcoming pages–I especially love how Sol turned out. The three have walked into a worrying situation, and I feel like I captured that in their body language. You can find the most recent Page of the… Continue reading Line-art from Page 51
Digital Painting of Armor
For this week’s concept art, I painted a photo I took of an armor set from Meersburg Castle. (I painted a different armor set from the same castle about a year ago, found here: Armor Study 1). It took me 7.5 hours to paint, but I compressed it to 50 seconds in this speedpaint video:
Comic on Hiatus until 2021
Hello all! I currently have some health issues (non Covid-19 related) that require treatment. I will continue working on my comic during this time, but I don’t have the margin to meet deadlines. I may post some content here other than comic pages periodically. In the meantime, if you want to give the comics a… Continue reading Comic on Hiatus until 2021
