Not really worth posting, but it’s tonight’s meager practice.
Category: Sketches (Page 4 of 5)
The main points of this exercise were 1) to learn how to use MyPaint-GIMP-Inkscape in a comics production chain and 2) to practice drawing, inking, and painting stuff (as always). I wanted to do actual backgrounds but ran out of time, so here it is. I have no idea whether boots of frost resistance actually exist in the Skyrim universe, but I couldn’t resist the SkyrimShots title, so there you go.
Some crappy “warm-up” drawings. Never really got warmed up. Even though it should rightly be classified as turd polishing, I played around with some coloring. The uncolored sketches in the second batch are me trying to learn from some Disney drawings; the other stuff is just stuff. All done in MyPaint.
I had a little time to work on the Brad character for my mini-comic. I had this one look that I thought was kind of funny…
But De said he wouldn’t like it – and Brad did specifically request to be drawn as a babe magnet – so I’ve decided to give Brad a sort of Justin Bieber look instead.
So I’m putting together a little mini-comic and using some of my coworkers as characters. This is one character design idea that started to look like it was in the right ball park, so I thought I’d post it as proof that I actually made headway. One of my colleagues is named Mike Romero and when I spelled his last name backwards, I thought it was a perfect name for a War Dwarf – whatever that is. Click on the image to get a bigger version. For those who keep track of such things, this was sketched in MyPaint on Linux Mint 11, so it’s full of open source goodness. More to come…
