I am the Bat, Left Lit World and the Last of Clothed Figure...

So for the past month and a half I've been consumed with "Batman: Arkham City". Highly recommended, big thumbs up. Based on that I also had a Batman themed Christmas it seems by getting four Batman Graphic Novels and a few action figures so there's little surprise that I doodled Batman on my own which I'm very happy with since I've been trying to draw a good Batman head since I was 8. Also included in this post are Left lit doodles inspired by the clothed figure drawing class. And segueing off of that here is a Clothed figure drawing from the class.  When NOT playing Batman and being sick my November/December has been consumed with a secret side project that I'll end up posting about in the coming weeks. Until then.

Color Theory

The most worthwhile thing to come out of my Color Theory class. The only project that I actually want to do again for the class and can't. Still I am thinking about going back and changing the angle to match more what I had first intended. It's supposed to be a landscape. I asked if I could approach it in a more "animated" way and began watching a lot of Thundarr the Barbarian. I then went a step further and had Kinkos print a small version of my Brud barbarian on a transparency to act as a cell. Enjoy.

Huge Update

It's been a few weeks. Finished the new Bonus Comic so look for it soon. Anywhoo. Here's a huge update with doodles and the best of the past few weeks in Clothed Figure Drawing. I'm all for being inspired but to hear my instructor "motivate" me, you'd think I had never drawn a day in my life. I leave it to you to decide. -Sean

Freelance T-shirt Design

Freelance job I finished the other day. A t-shirt design for the mens portion of a baby shower. I really really like the cartoon-y-ness design of the boat. Enjoy!

Clothed Figure 3 and 4 Part 2

Terminator-esque.  He had some pretty good poses and the final drawing looked very "80's ad" to me. The following week was a female "secret agent" or some such. I was sick. I was told that I draw too taxidermy. I have no idea what that means but he told me to try and be more loose. But when I get too loose he tells me it's too cartoony. By the end of the class I was sick and tired and my final attempt was just all out caricature.

Clothed Figure 3 and 4 Part 1

I was late on the day that the model was dressed Terminator-esque. I found that somewhat humorous. He had some pretty good poses and the final drawing looked very "80's ad" to me. The following week was a female "secret agent" or some such. I was sick. I was told that I draw too taxidermy. I have no idea what that means but he told me to try and be more loose. But when I get too loose he tells me it's too cartoony. By the end of the class I was sick (literally) and tired and my final attempt was just all out caricature.

Clothed Figure Drawing Day 1

So day 1 of Clothed Figure Drawing.  Favorites from it of varying time restraints.

Full Vector Test

Well since I didn't get the job I figured I would just post the whole test anyway. The job was with Tinyco. The objective was to create a cafe in a similar style to what was already created and a rabbit based on established characters. I did the best I could having received the email on a Saturday morning and finishing it up Sunday night at Ten PM. Again it was all vector and I did the best I could with reference that I couldn't really zoom in on too close (not vector). The cafe was an attempt to keep the silly, large, easily recognizable products style (the big cup) and combine it with reference of a French cafe I found online. The rabbit... kinda creeps me out. Would have really loved to have gotten the chance to work there but oh well. Vita progreditur. Enjoy.

Vector Test

One half of a test I did for a missed job opportunity. It's entirely vector (done in Illustrator) meaning you can blow it up to any size and it won't lose any quality though this actual image is just a Jpeg. It amuses me mostly because I like tiny things. Enjoy.

New Comic Post

If you didn't see it anywhere else, there's a new comic post on www.GoggledHero.com.

Fish Physics and Philosophy

I have a secret wish to draw the comic panel that revolutionizes science and the world. The idea came to me at the airport waiting for my fiancee a few months ago while staring at the fish tanks from the local zoo or museum. Started to wonder if fish see their world as a weightless flying universe and what it would mean for them to see the other side of it. I think humans see their world one way never knowing of the 'dry land' that's just beyond the glass.
