Again with the late updates. There’s been quite a bit happening to me in the last few weeks meet a lot of new people over Skype who are collaborating on a film but i want to keep it under warps for now since it is a fan project but still worth it I am lead art director on the project now so that’s a thing.

I always feel tried after writing out long descriptions or paragraphs about recent shenanigans. so i cheated for this post and copy pasted the YouTube description because it sums up this video perfectly

Coming out with new material is hard sometimes when posting 

Brief history about this particular video. Visuals by Sound is a series I have done on and off in the last three years (I did a lot more videos in 2011) .The general goal of these videos was too show my creative process of thinking and drawing when I have music playing and what wonderful and surreal worlds materialize form these said songs.


I always have loved a good old cartoon title card intro like Mucha Lucha or Ren and Stimpy, not forgetting ending credit sequences with art and characters in the background. Put these elements together with my screenflow recording of my latest illustration in development and you got yourself an interesting experiment of two different things.That's what I think personally at least.



Unfortunately I only got two separate recordings form this illustration so the final outcome is a little more polished then the footage I have archived.

I want to eventually finish this illustration off in my spare time which i have a lot of.




anyhow Until next post LATERS ;)

Hiatus from blog posts for a week or so because of certain unexpected things that I will not rant or bombard you with as of right now maybe later. Lets just say there are a lot of jobs and opportunities coming my way just not green lighted yet because of (quotation) complications. Beside this mishap I have started helping out on a fan film that I may get paid for later on if all goes according to plan with the director and his pitch. Anyhow it’s a special someone’s birthday tomorrow, my Dads. So why not share that love with the card I made him this morning 

Process

My dads sort of an old rocker implementing
 those elements in to the design

did i mention he likes computer mouses as well

Been the critic I try and be with my art I notice that the angle on the whole rolling on a boulder is a little off and not as defined by the creases in the clothes which are lacking. I guess the composition could have been altered and explored a bit more as well. But as they say about some presents it’s the thought that counts. And there is thought in to this image despite its rough media. 

The Party God of Pizza guitars has SPOKEN!



Until next (hopefully new) post LATERS  ; )

See what i did there with the title bad pun i know.

Another blog post at last I have got to stop doing that whole its been a while Schick because it has not only last week I posted something up but not to get on my soapbox again.

I had a stoke of genius yesterday while taking a walk in the sunny weather a Tex Avery inspired comic with my characters.

Now I will be honest animation fans I know very little about Avery or other cartoonists of this time apart from a couple of Disney animators. But I have a great deal of respect for what the man did bringing cartoons to a whole new wacky dimension that too this day makes me smile still. 'Slang in symphony 1951" is one of my fav shouts of all time (watch it please if you have not).

The scenario I have is a inspired by the Wolfie and Droopy chase scene where Wolfie thinks his lost the mutt but finds him in the extract same location and logically PANICS running away to the next gag.

pilot to co pilot BOO ............  0_0

 I want to go all out on this piece and do it in trationadl media . Like pencils, pro markers and ink of Course. It would make this that much more special then digitally drawing it on a tablet.

Character re designs of my these goof balls
down here to fit in to the comics sytle

Now I am not going to copy exactly Tex’s style I just want to mimic that humor in this sequence of images that are playing out in my head as I write this post can not wait to start designing the gag. Not sure if this comic will entirely work because of how flexible and stretchy the characters are. But if I can catcher that sense of fun and originality that Avery had in his shorts then I feel I would be doing justice to the very definition of cartoons.

That’s my opinion anyway.

i will try and do as much development on this as i can and keep it updated regularly.

but until next blog post LATERS ;)

Jowy Shenanigans 18/7/12 part 2

All right we are back here again after a couple days away from posting anything I will be brunt with you all I have had a lazy mind in the recent weeks after leaving university. Found it hard to stay away from creative mode on Minecraft, fan art and YouTube channels fall under this category as well. I need to keep my mind and imagination active during this slow period until I find a suitable job linked some how to my practice. This is not rocket science I can do it but I have personally found out that I need to be really invested in my own ideas and characters to truly make them shine and sparkle. That’s why there’s not a lot of JOWY stuff on my DA account at the moment , which is quite sad honestly. But I call this a phase I am going though like in the early days when I started out on online.

 I sent off my CV to a local animation company this week they already responded back. They would keep in touch with me as they like my work, which is showing promise. Soapbox/rant aside lets get to the core of this post.

Another anonymous person (don’t want it mention names) came forward three days ago with a commission for a married couple Tony and Carla who are youth preachers in a church but they are moving on. The client wanted a portrait as token of thanks to them. They wanted it done digitally like I have done with all my recent illustration work and preaching was the most important element that needed be illustrated in it.

1^st day

I had to gather photo references from their facebooks to make it as close to the couple as possible obviously duh no caricatures here.

OH BOYYYYY i could already tell i was going to fun with this commission before i started

2^nd day

I still enjoy doing the value tonal thing its educating me a lot more on how light works in different directions. And how dark shadows can be depending on the light scoure, space and time.

I actually created a light source that would be coming from the back of the figures to give the illusion of a projector

Carla was surprisingly easy to capture tony gave me a few problems mostly because of the angle of his head and his mouth

The picture also had to show some of the youth of the church but as silhouettes.

Day 3

Showed it to my mom, as she knew these people gave me a citric about his hands and mellow expressionhe did look rather relaxed lol.  

My my we need to make you simile again 

"Will this trim suit you fine sir" 

One last visual was added and that was the name of a youth Christian camp/event called Ignite that the couple went to or promoted (not sure which)

Again with the overlaying of the colour and the brown suit and the blue curtains

The client unfortunately came back sooner then I expected but was very happy with the result as it was so there was no real reason to complain Tony and Carla loved it.

Sweet Another satisfied customer.

FINALE 

I don’t mean to make these blog posts long I just feel like I am leaning a lot more about my digital skills and observation from doing pieces like this hopefully I start doing some paid work very soon because pieces like this give me hope for my future even on the laziest of days

Any how until next Post Laters
