Argument Part 1:Thumbnails

Even more goodness from today. Thought I'd upload these thumbnails of a wordless argument. It's Part 1 of an ongoing assignment in Visual Storytelling. Try and figure out what the argument's about and I'll give you a cookie.


On second thought...no cookie.

Let the Wild Rumpus Start

First and foremost, I never read where the "Where the Wild Things Are" when I was child nor am I interested in seeing the new movie. This assignment was merely a pin-up assignment in visual storytelling: pure and simple. I did however read the book as well as read a psychoanalysis on it in my Children's Story Book Class. Freud's one f'd up dude is all I'm sayin'. Here's the piece, hopes you enjoys.

Nananana BATMAN!

Holy Comicbook Cover, Batman! This week of Digital Cover Design we had to put together an entire cover from scratch. The idea was to recreate a mainstream comic cover. I, of course chose Batman as Batman is the friggin' shiznit. The copy I believe was Batman Issue 689 which I believe is the first in a arc of stories featuring Dick Grayson as Batman. The original comic cover was a bit bleh, as the whole point of a cover should sum up the comic as well as have a unique composition that will have the reader interested especially from far away. The original cover was basically BLEH! I'm the Goddamn Batman! BLEH! BLEH! Emoness at it's finest, although the artist can draw circles around me, so I'm gonna shut my trap before I gets in troubles. Here's the original colored artwork.


I feel my inks were a bit rushed, but compositionally I'm happy. The idea of the story is Penguin is behind the scenes making mischief while Batman is blindly being led into enemy territory. I think the cover gets that across nicely. Hope you guys enjoys.

Marvel/Disney Thingy

Oh wow another blog within the past 5 minutes, and at four dead-gum thirty in the morning. I be's burnin' the midnight oil kupo. Give ya five bucks if you get that reference. On second thought I ain't given' any o' you a damn thing. So any way I did this comic strip back in the summer on my thoughts on Disney buying Marvel. Personally I don't give a flying flip edge wise seeing as such studios as Pixar are doing just fine with big ol' mouse ears over em'. Anyway the Temple of Cartoon Mojo site, which everybody should check out if you haven't, just had a sketch challenge based on the whole Marvel Disney escapade so I decided to color this here mamma jamma. My friend thought it was funny and so should you. Now go on and laugh before I punch you in the face. Heh heh, just kidding....or am I...

Yeah, I'm kidding.

Deer Huntin'

Here's a pin-up I did for my visual storytelling class. It' Wolverine hunting a deer in the forest. I had some real fun putting the composition together and teach's advice on using the moon as a framing device really did the trick. Hopes ya'll's enjoys.

Don't Fear the Agent

Here's a color project I did for my class in computer coloring. It's a cover from Tony Moore's "Fear Agent". I thought it came out well. Pencils and inks by Mr. Moore, colors by moi'. Hope everyone enjoys.

Caricature Fun

Here's a caricature I did for one of my mom's friends. The woman portrayed is a nurse whose retiring and they wanted to send her off with a humorous caricature of her crossing the proverbial finish line of retirement. My mother told me about the job and I took it. Here is the finished product albeit cropped( blame my scanner). My mom's friends all seemed to enjoy it and I even got paid. This was good experience and I hope to do more stuff like it in the future. Sorry about the blurriness, once again my scanner sucks monkey grime.
