More Fun Than Homework

I continued to productively procrastinate this afternoon by working on Retinue. It is coming along well and I have a spin-off piece using one of the figures.

Also doing some watercolor work in Illustration Techniques that I will post soon, maybe. Well, next week probably.

Retinue

These things are starting to suggest other, bigger things to me.

Something From SCAD

I've been experimenting with the Scintique screens here at SCAD (you draw directly onto the screen using a stylus instead of using a mouse; it's just like using a pencil on paper (!!!!!)) and am digitally coloring this sketch/collage from my sketchbook.


Having some silly fun with lasers. :)



progress so far:

I need to redo the drawing on the pope/saint figure and figure out what drawing to do in the foreground.
(the main figure(s) are model Sean O'Pry, fyi)

Scratchboard

My current assignment for Illustration techniques here at SCAD-ATL is a set of three illustrations for a fairy tale, one large piece and two smaller spot illustrations. I chose "The Green Bird," my favorite Chinese fairytale (is it still a fairy tale if there are no fairies in it? Is it a folktale if it has magical elements? anyway...)
Top: sketch for large illustration (final here, bottom, spot #1 finished.
Cheers!

From The Home Decorating Front

Red is the Official Accent Color for the apartment.


Yesterday there was a huge thunderstorm (including The Loudest Thunderclap Ever!) It reminded me of Thailand; it was nice.

Mother Superior

A drawing I did in my Drawing for Illustrators sketchbook. With details. I like the nun hugging the pony.





Also, progress shot of a drawing I'm working on for class. Probably about 1/4 done (?). 18x24. (Note: more here!

From the Graphic Novel Front

Some process shots from a little bit of The Pearl Wars (working title!) that I was able to squeeze out last week.







Some bug snuggling, right before things start going wrong. :)

And some collages I made on cards.



The inside of this one is a pop-up and is really cool, but my camera cord is currently AWOL so...
edit: found it!

Little Interim Post

Dear readers,
I'm in the middle of an epic state-to-state move. But once I get there I should be producing art very regulary (I'll be in grad school! :D ) and hopefully posting will become more regular.

In the meantime - for old time's sake - here is a little thing I did.

This is a mockup of the album art by up-and-coming close-personal-artists Dreamtigers, who will be releasing their first full-length record this fall! Check them out on Myspace!


And here's the t-shirt version. :)

As you can see, I'm really into black and white right now.

Cheers all,
grant
