recently thinking of an NES past...

Here are two recent ideas I've been playing around with, any feedback on them would be great. One is made completely from screenshots, the other from screen capture images on my computer... So what do you think, is it a good direction to head? I figure I'll pursue it regardless but any feedback helps.

Two Images and a Bonus!

This is a watercolor and a gouache I did this past week. The bonus is a sneak peak from the tale of Belastor Brieve! Although I plan on changing Belastor's eyes, I think the current eyes and the hair combo make him look like L from Deathnote...

Belastor

Belastor Brieve, unfortunatly in a poor scan (I was in a hurry to make a dinner date at 5) but that's it. It' a glimpse at the new technique I'd like to try out. (Keep in mind, this is on sketch level, on crappy paper, on a relatively-glossy surface and microns and sharpies don't work the best on said surfaces)

More Productivity

I worked again, (having a week with nothing to do was really quite pleasant) This was the idea I originally came up with for Illustration Friday's weekly word, the word was Pheonix, but I didn't finish it in time, even on a week off deadlines can take you by suprise I suppose...perhaps especially on week off?

Just Something Fun

So I recieved a set of gouache for Christmas and decided to give it a try. I found a scrap piece of illustration board and whipped this up while Princess Mononoke played on in the background. I must say, I enjoy them considerably more than acrylics...

Beware of his Posts!

So I came up with another design for the guys at chewing pencils... I think I cuaght a glimpse of him once, as I passed by a Starbucks, I was too frightened to stop!

Haven't you ever seen a kiosk in the desert before??

So I came across this blog site called "Chewing Pencils" and they came up with a contest. The objective is to create an christmas-themed image, cartoon, illustration, whatever, just so long as it features the word Blog in it. Here's the first of two ideas I came up with, what do you think?

Croquet Day 2006!

Here's a poster I quickly made for the Grantham Gentlemen's Society Croquet Day 2006. I'll post the old one below it...
