Illustration Friday submission : Thanks Tails Bus

(heavy sigh) It saddens me a little when i have some really great visual ideas for finished pieces but due to life,work unexpected showcase events and the potential annoyance i lost a great sheet of observation studies. it never becomes the reality i see in my imagination. This is still in sketch mode i never got it done to a standard i am happy with. but i want to keep this content consistent each week even if it means sacrificing perfectionism  a little to keep these ideas flowing and going.

This weeks theme was.....Tails (if you can tell)

i know have the crafty Muthas fair this weekend to look forward to wish me luck and i  will see you all LATERs in the next post ;).

unexpected Jowy Shenanigans updates 17/11/13

This has come up at just the last minute and is going to make my week that little bit busier. My good old university BCU has invited me to a showcase-networking event on Tuesday where I could really spread the world of Jowybean around lol and exchange contacts with other businesses. There’s over 100 attendees going to it and some of us are getting a table so I need to prepare for it fast. I have my table booked but I need to gather together a proper portfolio for the event.

Crafty Muthas fair this Saturday coming (23^rd nov) I am still going to. I believe these two separate events could make or break my freelance business but this year has being mostly exploring and taking risks and so far it’s all paid off really well.

Sneak Peek at my new Illustration Friday submission that i plan to have done by wednesday

 

I usually do not show my super sketchy sketches because of my perfectionate mind but these are drawings based on my own characters who i have grown to adore and enjoy drawing more . Not as much as ponies but i am making space in my busy creative life to doodle them at least

until next Post LATERS ;)

Illustration Friday submission : Wind annoying Act

only managed to get a good rough tonal sketch done this time......... doh dart 

This Weeks theme was Energy

Unlike my last few submissions the only connection to the theme would be the old man with a wind turbine for a head. I was going with the idea of motion and movement and used some of my favourite poses from the last few newspapers I have collected as reference 

 Never expect anybody to get my deep ideas just appreciate the quirkiness and experimentation in my style.

Until next Post Laters   

Jowy Shenanigans 24/9/13

Hey everybody in blog land I have been a busy bee with pony commissions popping up every few days since Buck. And its occupied a lot of my free time, then the whole GTA 5 thing happened last Tuesday and I was gone for two and half days with breaks in between of course its worth the money in my opinion Rockstar you have done it again.

now I am back with a reason to update not just to rant.

lame joke i know

I started livesteraming recently and I plan to do more in the coming weeks. My first experience was very positive , did not shut up for a whole three hours I love to talk sometimes folks if you know this blog you understand what I mean.

Last Wednesday i attended a small showcase event run by a company called Sweda to show my art to other potential clients and networks and as you can see the local press took an interest in my art and Brony stuff.   

I have applied for a possible full time job at a graphics and print company in Birmingham. Had my interview yesterday it went quite smoothly, despite my lack of commercial graphic design experience. The director seemed interested in using my artistic talents for some of his upcoming projects. If I get this job I will get some actual income.

In an ideal world I would love to make a living off my commissions and own illustration but I know the market constantly changes and you need to be realistic with your goals in today’s world folks.

I have fallen behind on illustration Friday’s submissions but I will make sure I get back on track with that.

Passion project Humanise.com graphic novel has stopped for a while but please still support and check out the project on my DA account we will return to it soon its not dead.

Ponies just on the brain

Until next Post LATERS ;)   

Humasnise.com update 17/6/13

 Hello all I have decided from now on to spilt each project I do as a separate post so it does not get confusing and boring for me to write

we have a new logo

There have been many great strides made in the development of me and my dad’s ambitious graphic novel/ comic series Humanise.com (name may change).

We have written the full script for issue one and as you can see when you scroll down the page some actual finished pages. The Writer (Dad) has worked on issue threes story it’s getting very exciting. I am still not quite sure how many volumes or issues there will be for the first arc. That’s right there’s going to be multiple character arcs in the overall series. The good thing about coming away from development of H.C for a while was that with the collaboration powers of me and my dad (writer) we could throw out character and joke ideas to put in to the finished product so we can reach as many diverse internet groups out there.

I am no Internet expert but that’s the reason why I want to make this comic a success. Test both my visual and knowledge of a thing that makes my life so much easier and I sadly could not live without it.

 third promo idea I put together today. I did some research in to the Internets history so you get educated while you look at the art for free as well. I know there are lot more founders of the Internet I just picked the three that looked the most important. 

We have a plot symbios to get your taste buds watering a little.

1000 years ago earth is wiped out by war of neutral bombs. At this time the Internet, as we know it was been updated and had began to think independently. Now 1000 years later the Internet has transformed in to a virtual reality where severs websites and programs of all kinds have become living breathing beings connecting together to from a thriving metropolis. Our two main protagonists CADRA the normal farm girl working in the code fields and Mutt her pet dragon suddenly embark on an epic quest to find the code that could bring down the controlling powers of the big bosses Google Apple and many others. But what is this mysterious code?

Engaged yet..... I hope.... this should give you a better grasp on the story and universe we are building here

now heres some inked in pages and character designs to show you whats happened since last updated. 

These two are actually pages that appear later on in issue one reason i have skipped ahead is the first four pages are going to big in your face splash pages detailing the world you are about to enter and i just want to cram as much in these pages as the start of the story will take pace in a rather mundane environment and will focus more on characters then wow look at that detail. 

part one of my nightmare begins lol

The original thumbnails i did for this page from last year before the craziness began. We are spreading the action scenes over a few pages then squashing it in to a small format

Character Designs

our main cast decided as of now (more to add and design). Cadra and Mutt are the main characters we are focusing on in the story

These three have popped up in my sketchbook for H.COM time and time again the alien Han Solo dressed character is called  Kono 

fairly new idea about Carda traveling with a group of interesting characters with their own unique back story 

there you go this update should give you all the information you need to know about H.COM so far.

you can go to my DA account to see bigger scans of the inked in pages 

until next Post LATERS :)
