Fan-Art and WIP

Some fan-art for a friend.  He was requesting we draw some fan-art so that he can publish it with his comic once it's done.  I wanted to color it, but my friend only has inks and stuff :c

 

I also have an in-progress illustration I've been working on for a while.  Here's a screenshot:

 

I'll be adding a nice, forest-y background to it as well.

Animatic, Ankle Boots, and OcculTango Ch 2!

As promised, here's the animatic I created for my storyboard final:

And here's a sketch of what I would look like in the Panty&Stocking universe.  My name would be Ankle Boots, I think.

I want to make a short mini-comic in this style some time.  Just have to figure out what it would be about!

I've also started penciling the second chapter of OcculTango!  Once I get this chapter complete, I'll finally be able to go live with the graphic novel on the web!  I'm really excited about this story and hope you all enjoy it!

OcculTango Storyboards

A few boards from the storyboard animatic I'm working on featuring my OcculTango crew.  The animatic is about one and a half minutes long.  I'll post the entire thing once it's completely finished.
I've been really excited about anything that has to do with my OcculTango story, so I hope you guys will enjoy it just as much once it finally goes live!

Reminiscing

An illustration inspired by the song 'Your Hand In Mine' by Explosions in the Sky and the word 'reminisce'.

The overlay paper texture can be found here.

Page 10 Process: Base Inks

Here's an image of the 'first step' of my inks.  I basically just get all the lines down before blocking in major blacks.  Depending on what the black spotting is doing, I may just lay it in as I drop the linework in (i.e. shadows on clothes/hair).  I guess it depends on my mood?

Page 10 Process: Beginning

Here's a webcam photo of page 10 of my senior project.  This is what my finished pencils look like right before I put ink to paper.  I add cleaned up word balloons and text in photoshop before printing the pencils out again and adding additional details in pencil.  The font I'm using for the dialogue is called Mighty Zeo Capitols.  I got it from one of the free font sites.  The shape and visual characteristics of the letters fit with the feeling of the story and complimented the font face used for the title.

The next post will be a 50% done inks photo.

Say 'Hello' to the Hero

Here's a sketch of the main character of OcculTango.
He's shirtless because I can.
I might finish this one day when I feel like I have free time.

 

He's supposed to be of Korean descent.

Sometimes he looks it, other times, not as much, haw.

I sketch in blue pencil, so that's why everything is going to be blue.
