30s of week 1-19-09

I'm late putting these up from last week. It's been a hectic time for me. I'm busy packing and preparing for a move. The scheduling and approvals of the housing process are a hell. Then, toss in trying to schedule a couple of moves together and its all kinds of screwed up. Nothing ever seems to get done right if you must depend on others. But, I digress. Anyway, for this set, I continued with the same style for last week. But, I did them in pencil, rather than on the Cintiq. The style is coming along. I'm actually presently working on these in Illustrator to give them a more graphic look.


I only got two done this week. This one is Abby. She's my favorite this week. She's really a little bit creepy... and I think it works for her. She should be a little creepy.


Here's Oscar. I think I simplified him too far. He definitely needs some more work. But, I think he has great potential.

30 of week 1-12

This week I was inspired by a animation company's logo. Dancing Diablo. I thought the character was really cool looking and well done. I thought it was so cool looking that it inspired this week's sketches.
I started with Bert. I think this was my favorite sketch of the week. It has the right amount of edge I was looking for.


This is Ernie. I liked this sketch also. But, I think the feel is slightly different than Bert's, but kind of like it. Like a rabid squirrel



Elmo didn't come out so well. He's quirky looking. I think I just needed a little more time with it.


Grover. Mmmm, just not there. Little more time.

First 30s of the year!

It's a new year! Hope all had a good break. I spent some time with the family and took it easy for the rest of the time. It was hard getting back to a work schedule after a long break. Especially, fitting in a 30 min. sketch. But, got to keep up the sketchin. So, here we are.


I was feeling a little under the weather on my first day back. A slight case of vertigo crept back into my head. This sketch represents how I was feelin. A little..eeh...


I even went to the doctors. I wasn't happy with this sketch. I felt that the head was a little misshaped...


This day I was feeling better, but not completely there. I thought this was the best sketch of this week. His heads a bit off balanced, but all in all I liked the sketch.
