I know all about waiting ...

For this movie!

9 more days until the Force Awakens!

So doing the Finn poster was so fun and I feel like I learned a decent amount from doing it so I felt inclined to do another. Also, my wife is really digging what we have seen of the Rey character so far so I figured a little fan art of her wouldn't go amiss. 

Did I mention I love these posters? and Star Wars? I love Star Wars.

And a process bit.

A galaxy far, far away gets a little closer. 11 days!

So I am really loving those five Star Wars character portrait posters they put out to promote the new Star Wars movie - Episode VII the Force Awakens. So much so I decided to do a study from the Finn one. The guy looks awesome. Anyways, hope you like the study I did!

The final version of my Finn poster study! Google the original image to see how I did and, please, tell me what you think.

And process shots ... if you are into that kind of thing.

Well, that is it. Yay Star Wars!

Another one of these ...

READY!

SET!!

GO!!!

So I don't believe I have posted these on here before ... but I felt it was past time for a little art dump! and for image number one we have some Star Wars Rebels Fan Art!

Image two is some Zach fan art of a 2013 drawing of his ... I think.  Did this a while ago and I can't quite recall. Awesome design though!

Trying out some ideas for some digital book covers ... here was #1.

Hope you enjoyed the random selection of arts!

Where the heck is that kitchen sink?

Here we have three very different works none of which feature original creations.  kind of shameful for a would-be concept artist.  I should work on that!

Captain Phasma biased on a screenshot from Star Wars Episode VII's trailer.  I am super excited for that movie!

Chris Pratt had a silly competition on Facebook today and my sister-in-law encouraged me to participate.  It was supose to be a composite image banner but I decided to sketch it instead.  I took A LOT of shortcuts on my process here but it went fast and was fun so I am happy.

And last but not least another Zach fan art drawing because I love his work and seeing his genius through my own strokes has become a guilty pleasure of mine.  (Zach I really hope you don't mind!)  I'm think his name is ... Rabbit White, but you'll have to ask Zach.

My friend Zach Heckert has a blog, E.I.E.I.O.

... and on this blog he has some art E.I.E.I.O.

And here is some old fan art I did of some even older original art he did.  These, as my other fan arts of his arts, are based on his most ancient of posts.  Thus if you want to find the source material you'll have to hunt for it - but I promise the hunt will be enjoyable!

As I side note ... I feel creepy there are so many of these ... but they were made over a span of multiple months!

I'm not sure what _____.

I am finding I am having trouble balancing having art on Instagram, here, and facebook ... its hard, I loose track of at least one all the time and practically let it die.  If I can't learn to be better at balancing three diffrent cared about things I better make sure to never have more than two kids.  I need to find some sort of progression grove where each thing has its proper place.  After I figure that out I need to start twittering.  Then youtubeing. Then something else which I am sure we be invented before I get that far.  

Before all that happens, here is a thing for your eyes to see.

SPACE PEOPLES.

Half Life

In the spirit of Halloween .. and awesomeness .. I give you some head-crab zombie decapitation.

Guardians of the Galaxy - 3 of 5

Here are a couple of my Digital Sketchbook pages where I figured out the line art for my vector Guardians of the Galaxy images that I am currently about halfway through!

Peter Quill (a.k.a. Star Lord) and Rocket Raccoon

I AM GROOT!

Randomness randomized = s n o r m e n a d s

This is a drawing of the main character in a comic I am thinking about making named Griz ... you'll see him a bit more a bit later too.

This is a side character for the same thing ... hes a quirky space prospector!

 Here is a picture of Griz I was working on when my computer crashed ... I only saved this much by taking a screen shot durring the error message. Looking at it after the fact ... he is way too cluttered for what I want.

 A digital sketch page ... faces mostly (hopefully obviously). The rights were for reference for my Lego Comic Con drawing ... the Uri guy feastures in a short story I am working through writing right now. Currently I just started the third draft.

More Griz! just playing with some ideas.

Random Oldish Unbloged Pictures - Pen and Marker

Here are a few more slightly dated pen and marker drawings. A lot of them are from when I was a bit better at following Sketch Dailies.

I particularly like the Heffalump 

This guy was based of a wall painting in the Grand Canyon
