Sabotage Art Process

Thumbnail to Colours

Hey thanks for checking out my blog. Today's entry I'll share a bit of the process I go through when creating an image for fun.

This Zero Year inspired pic started pretty loosely. The original sketch was drawn while watching TV on the couch. 

The pose of this figure really jumped out at me, so I decided to work with a bit to see what I could come up with. My focus was on the form early on.

I didn't stray too far from the second image of the sketch. I was really happy with the drawing at that point, and my goals from then on were to keep the same energy of the loose drawing whilst at the same time adding details and shading.

FCBD & CCEE Round-up

Over the past couple weeks, I attended the Calgary Comic Con and took part in the FCBD festivites down at Happy Harbor Comics. 

The CCEE was pretty insane. I shared a table with the Open Door crew. We promoted our comics and did some sketches.The con had a record turnout. The fact that they had appearences by the orignial Star Trek Enterprise cast, William Shatner and Stan Lee probably played in to this. It was great to see that many people supporting the industry.

The FCBD festivities at HH was pretty cool. I ended up doing lots of sketches for comic book fans. I always enjoy doing this. Besides the fact that it's great to support the comic book fans, it's also great practice. Anyways, here's a few pics from the events, as well as a video from a TV appearence we did on Global TV promoting FCBD.

Update from HH Residency #2

The artist residency has continued to be a positive experience for me. I've done a lot of drawing I normally wouldn't have.
The residency has also been a great opportunity to promote the beautiful medium which is comics books. I've done some great school and library visits during my stay. It's been great.

I've included a few pics from the Stony Plain library, and Two Hills school visits.

Playing with ink styles

I've recently been trying to add more depths to my inking technique. I'm trying to do it without going too 90's Image vibe. Even though I love that era.

The first pic is of my character Sabotage. This is for a promo piece I'm creating for the comic; Beast Dominion.

The second pic is of Jack of Spades. He is a character created by a couple fellas named Chase Kantor and Vishaal Rajani.
