Sneak Peek #2

Another little preview of that certain something I’ve been working on [very] intermittently, which is suddenly coming along rather nicely… ;)

Hero of Time

Along the way in making this, I got lost in the fun of creating a more realized illustration. The textures and palette choices made this stray from the initial “feeling” that inspired this, but I’m quite happy with the result of this artistic meandering.

You can find details, including a close-up image, after the jump.

Hero of Time sketch

Reading GameSpite’s take on Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past in their newest Quarterly got me reminiscing on the feeling I used to get from playing the game when I was a wee lad. It was colorful and adventurous, with a little grit, like everything was eroded by sand, wind, and time. That feeling made me want to explore creating my ideal interpretation of Link, with bits and pieces of his design that I liked throughout the years amalgamated into one. This definitely needs coloring to really get my idea across, but for now I thought I’d share this sketch.

Twi’lek Jedi

So I drew this a few weeks ago, I think around the time the trailer for Season Two of “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” was revealed. The show itself is very well put-together, and being as big a Star Wars geek as I am, it’s exciting to see the universe being expanded upon like this. Hopefully Lucasfilm/LucasArts produces even more esoteric EU material in the same sort of accessible media.

Eli & Amos Circumnavigate the Globe

At last, here’s the finished illustration of “Eli & Amos Circumnavigate the Globe” that I posted a tight sketch of back in February. It may appear that this single illustration has taken me ages, but in actuality I worked on it for just a few hours once or twice a month. Sometimes it’s nice to work on something in an unhurried fashion, don’t ya know. There may very well be future exploits for these two, so keep a weather eye open!

CCRA Character Designs

I’ve been freelancing on and off for a clinical research company called CCRA, creating the characters and print advertisements for a unified marketing plan they’ve started (You might recognize the name from this site: you can find one of the ads I’ve done for them here). I’m happy now to share with you the four original character designs they had contracted me to create.

Each was designed to model a different age group/generation, with a focus on creating versatile characters who could demonstrate different ailments, depending on the ad. Special attention was paid to make sure that they would not be caricatures; they had to be soft, relatable individuals to draw in those people afflicted with the disease each ad would target.

Eli and Amos

From time to time my friend Rhiannon and I come up with little projects for each other to work on, just for the heck of it. The most recent one she suggested for me was a little boy and his dog, with a series of illustrations showing the adventurous flights of fancy the two embark on. These are the basic “real world” designs, which are intentionally a bit simplistic; this is to make them reflective of the dull nature of the everyday world, which will thus contrast strongly with the world of the imagined in the forthcoming illustrations.
