11th dimension

inks for the third of four NOLA covers, from Boom! Studios, issue #1 out on wednesday. maybe 2 years ago i'd done this tiny 2 inch size sketch for a poster, inked it and scanned at 1600 dpi to see what'd happen. it printed allright, at around 3 feet tall the lines were real wobble-y but kinda cool, like a blown out photocopy. so, messing around with that still, the figure in bandages and the background here are inked at print size, hopefully they look out of focus as compared to the figure in the mirror. noticed this in Gorillaz, where if a character moves up close to the camera the lineweight is scaled up accordingly, instead of being the same thickness. ah, we'll see how it goes.

Boom! BAM!

here's pencils for the third of four covers Rico and I have done for the Boom! Studios book NOLA (first issue out Wednesday) (!!!) . folks that like seeing process stuff tend to say so, and i'm ambivalent , so if it's annoying, holler.

this was drawn on both sides of the paper with a lightbox. the lil X's are "bullet holes" which they use in animation to line up foreground/background when those elements are done separate, same goes here to merge the drawings into one PS file. hadn't got the hang of her head wrap yet, and didn't mean for her to be so foxy either (see bad ass-ed-ness of previous 2 covers), but it happens. clearly, i didn't fight it. BAM!

hadnt drawn wreckage in awhile, good times. (http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/awhile.html) guess who doodled through english class.
