Here's the commission I've been working on for Flavie for the past couple days: her and Draco Malfoy (the Harry Potter series' resident snooty, self-absorbed, so-and-so). Yay Slytherin! :D
Uuuuuugh I'm hungry. OOH but I stashed GOOD during free comic book day! Grabbed one of everything! ... even stuff I'm pretty sure I won't read... but I'm a sucker for freebees!
This is a commission for Julia (all the way in Paris, woo!) of Harry Potter's Tonks and Lupin. A cute but odd coupling in how despite their devotion to truth, justice, and saving the world these two have practically nothing in common! Oh well, Lupin's my favourite character in the series so I can't blame her for fallin' for him... the ol' werewolf stud.
For those of you who're following my Simply Potterific comics, I've FINALLY updated with a new comic! Click on the title link to go directly to my page to see it.
I was cutting 11x17 paper down to make proper size animation paper at work, and was left over with maybe 60 11"x3" sized papers. I didn't really want to chuck em in the recycle bin as I figured I could find a use for them. So I've decided to make a booklet of pinups based on characters and costumes I find to be beautiful... all in pencil crayon (the medium I used to use before I discovered photoshop). This is Christine's costume in the theatrical Phantom of the Opera, (during the "Point of no Return" song) which I found interesting because of its shifting balance between innocence and sexuality. Her feet are stupidly placed but I kind of slapped em on as an afterthought anyway... I also need more practice with hands and fabric and figuring out all that colour theory of a figure we learned briefly in life drawing...
More to come!
I was in a weird mood when I did this... I think she represents whatever it was that was holding me back from doing my own drawings for so long... now that I've kicked her out of my system I actually feel ready to start again.
And I cleaned the HECK out of my room, and anyone who knows me well knows that means I'm ready to get back on track with things.
Lil' sisters birthday! Lil' sisters birthday! It's 10:14 pm so HOPEFULLY she's in bed right now and won't see this posted before her birthday tommorrow... I was just so excited to put it up cuz I wuv her to bits!
Hey everyone! Shagster's updated the SBOR show (link to the right) with new easy to navigate sections and all the classic (and mostly hilarious) slightly bent and odd stories! Check out his radio play "silly kingdom" or his dense detective story "charlie branton: trouble at the docks" as well as his numerable silly skits and fake commercials (and a stop motion short with the soldiers from Halo).
How about that! Currently our very own "Simply Potterific" is ranked 416 out of 5998 titles at thewebcomiclist forum ! With Penny Arcade in 4th, that's not too shabby!
Oh man, I just had to share this. The best part in an otherwise... interesting episode...

This was how poor Steven's bus trip back from working nightshift downtown Toronto on March 17th went... it's enought to put you off alcohol forever I should think!
This is my first time sketching with the new tablet, and MAN the thing acts like it's on crack, or like it's one of those fast moving zombies from "28 days later". I've set the speed as low as I can without it feeling too muddy but it zips around the screen like crazy!
I just need to get used to it... and now for sleep.
This is the show's protagonist, kinda you're typical spikey headed brooding hero. These are 3 different colour tests (I love photoshop's "adjust hue" ability, so fun!)
Just working on some concept design for a project Steven is working on at school, creating a marketable tv series aimed at youth audiences, kind of the megaman/all that gimmicy anime shtuff going around on tv these days style (i luv anime, just not the "buy it, trade it" craze of shows going on today. Man I sound old. I need a walky...
Ah, good ol March Break. As a hiatus inbetween jobs I went home for a week where I got to spend much quality time with my family, sleep, saw Lu off for her "buh bye" party which started at a really nice restaurant and ended with me and some of the guys working slave-like and clearing out her appartment! Afterwards my parents and sis came back to Ottawa with me where we went to the War Museum (an incredible place, I highly reccomend visiting it to anyone stopping by in Ottawa). Anyhoo, I got lots to do today. Tommorrow starts the new Ben Bear posing job and I've a commission to finish. Laters!
This is a concept bg for a "tv series" Shagster is "pitching" as part of a university project. This is the first layout I've done in a while, the perspective needs work, I can never get the grids working properly. The bg is inspired partly from the Blacksad comic, but also from my buddy Marcel's living room.
Bluuuuugh, no more chocolates... I O.D'd on a box of assorted valentines chocolates that were 50% off... I can't help it, my mum taught be to keep an eye open for sales! It's in my bloooood!
I made this blasphemous comic as a special "thank you" to the folks at Deviant Art for helping my account reach 100,000 hits within 4 months. Not too shabby!
**At my mum's suggestion I've only posted the first panel so as not to ruin the gag, click the title/link to see the whole strip on my webpage**
... I seriously need to draw more layouts.
