Sketchfest

Here are some things I've been up to. My brother and I are working on our TeknoViking story, so I'll be posting more on that in the future.

The Mirror House







I've been working on this little short story for a bit after work, but recently I've been taking a Visual Development for Animation class with Armand Balthazar and I've had to put it on hold. In the mean time I thought it would be good to share the progress instead of sitting on it for several months. 

Cheers,
Mike

Zoka Coffee


This is an instragram sketch of one of my favorite cafes in Seattle. Have any of you been to Zoka near Greenlake? It's a great place to sketch.

Revolutionary War Zombie


This is the first version of the cover I did for "Where the Dead Talk" by Ken Davis. Originally, it was going to be a single shot like this but ended up being a wraparound. Looking at this, I think I like it more than the final version. This was done last year in May I believe.






Here are some of the different versions. It took me awhile to figure out how I wanted to arrange the pieces.

TechnoViking


A color sketch of my brother's version of the TechnoViking. We're still working on designs for the project. Once my current project wraps up I'll be jumping on to do more exploration.

Sunday evening sketch. This is what I think about when riding the Muni. All of these different kinds of people sitting next to each other, not interacting, in a dirty metal tube.

Picnic!



Hey everyone, here's an illustration I made for my girlfriend. It was fun to get out the paints and colored pencils. Making color studies in photoshop was a huuuuge help.  The resemblance to Lumpy Space Princess was totally coincidental, haha. She's nothing like LSP.

Ye Olde Ravenskye



Here's the process for working up this painting. Working with Glenn Kim, we came up with some images to show off the city the way it used to be. Good times!

Ghost Rider on a Segway

 This was from a sketch I did after watching the classic Nick Cage flick. Apparently, GR can just hop on any thing with wheels or maybe it's any mode of transportation and it turns into a sweet flaming ride. 

Fantasy Stuff circa 2010

A quick sketch before bed. Just playing with composition, shape, and texture. More to come.

Dark Elf and Hero

I started working on a cintiq at work and it's made me realize just how awesome it can be to sketch digitally. So I'm going to get one for personal work very soon.  Here's a couple of sketches, I've been in a fantasy barbarian mood lately.

The Conquest


A quick PS sketch. I've been visiting the family up in Washington for the past week and it's been refreshing and inspiring. It's ridiculously beautiful up here.

Moebius Tribute

This sketch was done for my friend's blog http://blog.electricantzine.com/i-draw-your-shit-rip-moebius-tribute. We're doing a tribute to Moebius based on a series of sketch cards he did. I can't wait to see what everyone else does!

I used Absoluten Man -53 as my source of inspiration. And I have to say, Moebius was a huge inspiration to me and continues to be. RIP Jean Giraud.
