Humanization.com comic update 2/23/16

So the reason why I posted nothing on here last week was because I have been going through the pages of issue 2 of my ongoing comic project Humanisation.com.  Want to make sure it reads well and the speech bubbles are positioned in a good position with the art. that is all being drawn in traditional media minus the front cover. 

The front cover of issue/ level 2 has just been finalised and I will be in the process of getting it printed in the next week or so. 

I will try and get back in to the swing of things on this blog ASAP.

until next post Laters.:) 

Jowybean / Humanization.com comic update 2/6/16

Its been Needed in a good while but heres both an update on me and my Humanization.com project, Its all positive news as well. 

Humanization dot com comic update / Preview.

Get ready to get hyped guys cause as of today I have just finished inking in the last two pages of Humanization dot com issue/level 2. Its taken longer then it really should have to get to this stage but YES its finally done phew.

I must say I am very happy with the outcome of this both in art and story.

The last two things we have to do before I upload / print it. Is proof read the pages and edit the script.

I am going to take a few weeks off from this project to focus on my Nine World prints and other commissions. But rest assured I plan to get back in to the routine I had for issue 2 with issue 3 and hopefully get that finished even sooner then 2.

hope you are as excited as I am for this, its going to get a lot more interesting from here. And I am going to be spreading it around the web a lot more often so get used to that XD. 

read issue one  if you are curious about the comic or go to the website for more background and behind the scenes content. 

Next thing 

Conventions.

If you are familiar with my blog or work you may now that I have vendored at exclusively Brony fan conventions like Ponycon UK Bronycon and BUCK and its no surprise I  will be there again this year. 

However I do have another con I am  vendoring at and the best part is its not brony related at all .This con is called Nine Worlds and its on in London from the 12-14th august.

For the best part of may I have been working hard to produce some high quality art prints based on all manor of geek stuff to do with games, Movies, Animation, etc (maybe you can guess from these WIP snapshots what they are ;).

I still have a few more ideas in mind but these are the current print ideas I have almost finished. I will most likely keep the process of these updated on here as well as my other online profiles. This is a big opportunity for me to branch out in to the more mainstream side of geekdom And I want to put out the best work I can not just for my personal artistic development and craving for change but for the enjoyment of people and the fans who endeavor in this culture .  ;)

Also this will be where I will be releasing the second  and first issue of my Humanization dot com comic.

If you are going to be going to Nine Worlds I look forward to meeting you there.

There are a few big projects I am currently involved in, but due to respecting my clients I can not say or mention anything about them sorry. But maybe in a couple of months I will be able to share them with you then.

The plans for the blog have changed some what I enjoy putting out my experimental music sketches and sketch dumps So I aim to upload something to do with that every week , if I can.

Obviously this may vary and will most likely not have a lot of consistency This entirely will depend on the amount of work and commissions I have on the go. I just started using People Per Hour and already have competed 3 jobs in the last four weeks  so I am going to be putting my focus on sites like that from now on.

Anyway Thats all I have to say for now .

To those who follow or stumble across this blog I hope you enjoy the work i post on here and it inspires you to create. 

Until next Post Laters. :)  

Jowybean now has a website 22/4/15

So I have kept this in the dark for a while but over the last month or so I have been working with a graphic designer called Apex art t to make an official Jowybean website/ portfolio  that showcases my original professional work not the fan stuff I have become so well known for although i did pick a few examples for the site as i can not deny being a part of the fan art scene has helped me set up my freelance business .

there will be changes made to it as I continue to add new projects to the list but for now enjoy the site as it is. 

Happy browsing 

Until next post LATERS

Maid Marian and Her Merry Men Portraits project 31/10/14

Ever since I discovered the amazing artist Todd Schorr and his blend of cartoons and pulp art. I have wanted to render characters in to a semi realistic render like he does in his paintings. a lot of well known properties and characters have had this concept executed by a lot of talented artists =). But i felt that lesser known or forgotten shows do not get this treatment. I intend to change this with the new body of work I present to you for this months illustration project.

Maid Marin and her Merry Men

For those of you who do not know Maid Marian was a BBC kids tv series written and staring the great Tony Robinson (from Black Adder). It even got produced in to a colourful comic book with the wonderful cartoon work of Paul Cemmick (He is now an artist for our national SFX magazine). The premise was that Marian was the fearless leader rebelling against an angry King John and Sheriff of Nottingham (who Tony Robinson played). While the (quote) hero Robin Hood and the other merry men were kind of useless and weak yet Marian would tolerate their incompetence. Robin was a coward and cared more about his fashion then fighting.

The aim of these illustrations was to take Cemmicks character designs from the comic and translate them in to a more semi realistic style that represented the characters personality. Due to time constraints this month (mostly to do with Poycon Uk) I was only able to get four of the main cast done but I made sure that each portrait was up to a high standard I also used different light sources to make each individual stand out and look visually more interesting.

Sadly its hard to find the comics nowadays  but the TV show you can find on Youtube. :)

Until next Post Laters ;)
