Humanise.com splash page and update

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 you say?

this is the as of now plot for my ongoing graphic novel project called humanise.com :)

edit ignore the link there is a website with the same name  :(

This has been in development for two years and due to my ever changing and improving art I have been on and off the project. I  have not advertised it online as much as i should have done. My dad is writing the entire story and i am illustrating it.=D

Now the other reason why Humanise.com has been sparse is because of this illustration right here folks. One of the many splash pages few have planed for the series .This has taken 8 months, and i do not mean eight months to draw (because I am really quick). But 8 months to plan sketch research and redo. I worked really hard to showcase as much about internet culture while referencing animation and gaming. ;P

obviously we are taking in to consideration copyright with the amount of websites that are going to characters in the story and the name of the series may change but it does fit the theme of story very well. we plan on having a mock up of issue one by the end of the year. After the convention this august I will posting more about the project so like everything else i do keep watching.

one of the fastest Jowy doodles yet less then a minute to do

My heart has just not being in the right place last few weeks. Though I have done extremely well to catch up with my then ongoing paid jobs (that stay unnamed) outside the web, I have lost time and some penitence with my own ideas and work which has slowed my creativity done a little bit. And getting back in to cartoon,anime watching mode has not helped the matter either.

Its natural for any creative too feel this way especially when they’re gaining an audience and following for the projects they do. I get a little bit paranoid if I have not updated anything on the web after 3 days because it makes me look like I have a lazy attitude to my practise.

I feel I am returning to my senses and getting my mind back. To continue with the graphic novel projects and my illustrations.

Without any other long stupid delays lets begin with the updating.....

Moo.com is where i got my cards and business cards done very good service and prices 

The first thing you need to know is i have registered my sole trader name  so Jowybean is mine now and forever. I have got some new business cards printed and my greeting card series I plan to sell at my local woods have been finished. I got these done in the last two weeks as next week will be the big moment to advertise this project to the woods trust too see if they would want to use the cartoons as a marketing tool to attract new visitors.

Second important thing to note is I may be having an internship at an animation company in my city next month, which will be very beneficial and helpful in understanding my industry and its contributors

I am doing a few new paid jobs right now, which all link to my chosen fields of illustration and animation so everything is ago but I cannot talk about them, yet.

Humanise.com graphic novel project

I have discussed in length with my writer (my Father) about what we must do and the first major step is to get an A3 scanner to make the task of editing and colouring easier then manually scanning in each section separately and getting bored. I know I have spoken about deadlines for projects before but I will work hard in my spare time to get pages done before August for the preview of the first comic.

Jowy comic development

The jowy comic is in a concept art development stage because I just want to be picky about details and characters in the story.

All other projects outside my blog can be found updated on my DA account I want to keep this blog limited to my professional work then fanart stuff though my brony art is giving me a lot of traction.

Until next Update which WILL be soon LATERS  ;)

Jowy Shenanigans 11/2/13

Here we are again folks its been snowing outside today, I had my sister over the weekend back from uni. I talked for hours on Skype with brony friends and I am still working hard and boy what a weekend it was for said word.

The 10yearitch site that I have been doing paid illustrations for since last week asked me to design a FB banner for (to sound redundant) their FB page so it would give their services more publicity and it had to incorporate the logo as well. The time scale on this piece was shorter and there were a couple modifications to the design along the way.

The client wanted an Indian inspired character right below the Like button so It would look like he was pointing at it so you would be more tempted to hit that like and check out the site. They asked for a version without the boy and instead replace him with a tiger to show the wildlife of India.

The colours yet again were very vibrant showing the warm climate of the country. I really enjoyed colouring all these illustrations in because I learned more about my personal chose of colours and moods when doing digital art.

Their were a couple of changes in the final as you can tell I had to shrink it down to fit in to the FB cover dimensions the sky was a little too dark for the clients liking even though I personally thought it brought the back drop forward. And the character had to have his hand redrawn to actually point at the like button.

This body of work I am adding to my portfolio

I look forward to the next job I get where I can explore my adaptable styles in illustration some more.

Humanise.com comic project update time

CADRA and Mutt (main characters) will be happy to know that their masters have returned to the comic project Humanise.com today Hazzah lol. I got some actual page layouts done not draft ones but detailed thumbnails following the script I posted last month.

once i have finished drafts of these pages they may make a lot more sense ^^;

Its good to get back to this project and I feel confident about the story a lot more now that I have some layouts to look over and start actually finishing while asking advice from my Dad whose the writer of the series.

I am fairly busy with other shenanigans this week so there is not going to be much posted this week.....maybe but I shall do my best as always to upload and update as regularly on here as much as I physically can.

until next Post Laters  ;)

check out my Behance and deviantart portfolios for other work 

Humanised.com comic sample script 23/1/13

cast of the comic in terms of design as of now.

After a long wait since starting

This epic project i finally was able to upload what story my dad had written to introduce us to this universe i hope you enjoy what we have put together for the narrative as of now we are continually developing the sagas of the story. 

Update on the character names the dragon pet is called mutt because his wearing a cat costume yet CADRA (the framer girl) thinks his a dog just for humor purposes

The Prince if I remember correctly we named RDAC its CADRA spelt backwards uh I think  

I totally would be happy with CADRA and RDAC being the offical main characters names

Until next post LATERS ;)
