sketchbook - digipaint

About half an hour or so in Photoshop. It started with a quick doodle and I just packed on more and more detail until he looked sufficiently surley to me. Whoever this sucker is, he looks like he had to eat a bowl full of scabs this morning for breakfast. Yep, Monday's a'loomin'.

More....sandwitch

Here's another sketch of Norman, still munching away at that sandwitch, but with more hair, and some random tiki mask and furry dice. He looks sad. Maybe it isn't what he ordered, I dunno.

Anyway, I've been on a get-stuff-done mission lately. I got a new computer to replace the old Dell popcorn machine. The specs on the old rig are still pretty decent, but I wanted something specifically for rendering 3D models. I'm kinda geeked out over Zbrush at the moment and decided I'd get myself something that'll last for a while. I also cleared a room in our house for a little art studio. At the moment you can't really walk in there on account of all the boxes and debris I still need to clear up and install some shelves for, but it feels cool to have some dedicated space for all my brain putty. One of these days I'll have to get a website up and running again, but that can wait for the time being.

Bleh.

Comb overs aren't sexy

Here's one of my first sketches of Norman. I thought I'd give him a slaphead with a stylish comb over. I thought this look'd make him, y'know, more real. And real is more arty and stuff. Right?

And that's an anchovy sandwitch he's munching on.
