"Post your Art" Thread

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.
Do you have a webcomic somewhere? Your art looks very familiar for some reason.

Well I guess I can post my wares, since this place ain't viewable by the crazies...

So I do comic art. Lately I've been doing stuff on the web to try and push my own work. For awhile I did comissions for indie comics, mostly helping do the artwork for startups and pitches and such. So here's a swath of my works (images in Spoilers. Click to view, duh)...

I do this webcomic called Cloudscratcher that's styled after 90's-era cartoons. Basically the theme of the comic is that it's not so much a reference to any particular shows of that era, but rather could have been one. Sort of a hodgepodge of Disney Afternoon, early Don Bluth (especially his first two films), and a little Hannah-Barbera (Swat Kats in particular), all with a buttload of music references because I'm a music freak. I initially put it off for fear of being roped in with the furry fandom, but eventually said "fuck it" because I loved the story and characters too much.

Pictured above is the textless cover for the first print volume I've got coming out.

Picture I did of Jedah from Darkstalkers a few years back. Like how the background came out, but Jedah himself could use a little tweaking. I might update this picture and sell it at a convention in the future.

Cover art I did for a comic I was shopping around to publishers some years back, called Bub. Basically a dark comedy about Satan running Hell, where the afterlife is a business, Hell is actually a super-happy place to live for Demons (who regularly use the damned in comedic and degrading ways), and each episode focused on a different scheme by Satan/Lucifer to spread evil, as Heaven and Hell compete for souls like businesses compete for customers. Still want to do this one in the future, but I'll need to revise it.

The inks on this cover were done by Stacy Smith.

Too Fast to be Food
This African huntress needs to run as fast as she can so she doesn't end up a light snack for this Tyrannosaurus rex.

While T. rex's multi-ton mass would have slowed it down relative to other theropods, its top speed---18 to 25 miles per hour depending on which sources you trust---would have exceeded most humans at least in a short burst. But I tend to imagine it more as an ambush hunter than a pursuit predator. On the other hand, some anthropologists believe that humans are actually better built for endurance running than other animals; foraging hunters like the Khoisan of southernmost Africa have taken advantage of this by relentlessly running after their prey until it tires before they do.

Lately I've been looking into a career as an independent game designer, so I decided to scrape the rust off my ZBrush skills by making this Triceratops. He might end up a game character.

As of early morning in 6/23/15 it still needs detail and coloring (I've downloaded a few special alphas from the ZBrush site that would let me "paint" scales into the hide), but I am proud of what I've accomplished so far.

Balaur Among the Branches
Balaur bondoc, that Cretaceous dinosaur once thought to be a predatory dromaeosaurid like Velociraptor, is helping itself to some fruit from the banyan tree it's perched on. This was of course inspired by the recent finding that Balaur may have actually been a proper bird (as in avialan) rather than a raptor, but I wanted to give it a bigger and more showy beak than some other new reconstructions.

Incidentally trees from the fig genus, which include the banyan tree (Ficus urostigma) and the African sycamore (Ficus sycomorus) that was so sacred to the ancient Egyptians, actually may go back to the dinosaur era. One Cretaceous species from the time of T. rex and Triceratops is even known as Ficus ceratops!
 
A hastily done coloring of the previous drawing. I need more practice with digital paint.

never be afraid to put a layer over the lines to paint over. It really makes colored sketches pop.

edit: here is an example of my own
