Slacking a bit

Sorry, not that I think anyone actually looks at this blog, but I am trying to have a daily post now... So, to make up for missing a couple days, here are a couple unrelated images.

These are my own hands, and yes the bottom right one is a right hand, if you have never tried drawing your hand holding the pencil that is drawing your hand before, than you my friend are missing out.

As for this, well, I don't know how much I should talk about this project yet.  But I am working on my own short, very short, short animated film. this is a quick concept for one of the settings...

Fell asleep last night reading...

So you get a page of doodles used for warming up the hand.  I was trying out some different styles to see what I got.

Forest Scene

Here is a backgound I drew a little bit ago. Obviously of a forest. I have an idea what I could use this for...

Selling of my childhood

Since my mom moved this past Christmas I was given the wonderful opportunity to go through all of my old stuff that was back at her place and bring back a bunch or it and give the rest to my niece and nephews and Goodwill.  Our place is fairly small and everything I brought back I still had to sort through when it got here.  That was a big mess, but I have been able to go through it and narrowed down what I still want and what I am willing to sell or continue to give away.  This sketch shows me amongst my childhood playthings and trying to give decide in the confusion.

New Portfolio Blog

I will be working on updating my portfolio in the next month to get ready for jobs and internships. It will probably be its own blog and I'll keep this one as a fun, playing around, non-serious art blog. I'll make a link in a few weeks once I get it started.
Here is another sartorialist sketch and a few ideas from Halloween that I haven't posted yet. Costume ideas for a few trick-or-treaters.
EDIT... Apparently adding photos with the blogger app isn't the best method... I'll try again....Better quality now

Quick post before bed

Not much but I like her face.

Back from hiatus, Fanart Friday-ish

My wife and I have been watching Taken, the Sci-Fi channel series back when the channel was actually named Sci-Fi, about alein abductions and it had Dakota Fanning in it.  The aliens' eyes would turn black when they used their powers as well as any of the hybrid humans...for the most part, and it reminded me of the older WB animated mini-series Invasion America.  When one would greet another their eyes would do this black hole thing.  I decided to do a quick animation of it

I might color it or make it a bit more fluid and clean, but for a quick test I am happy.  I need to get into animating more and this is the first step.

Legend of Korra political cartoon 2

Here is my second Legend of Korra political cartoon.  It is themed around the time that Korra quit the Task Force that Tarrlok set up and when she is kidnapped.  I personally like the sketchy-ness of it.  I tried a more cleaned up version, but it just didn't have as much life in my eyes.

Final display case backdrop for fall

Here is my final version of the backdrop for a display case at The Provo Library.  I'll post a picture of it in the actual display cases once they put it up.

Fall display case background at work (WIP)

At work we have a few display cases that usually are themed in coordination with a visiting author or event.  For the month of November they asked me to make a simple fall sunset background.  Here is my first pass at it.  The two light vertical line represent where the divisions are between the three cases.
