Let's Force Each Other To Work!!

I'm proposing a work party (now doesn't that sound fun) this Thursday at my apartment at 7:30. We can bounce ideas off each other and get real time feedback! Bring yur sketchbooks and yur brains.

My place is 660 Classon Ave. Closest train is the S at Park Place. Ring the top buzzer!

And bring some snacks too!

Recipe

Everyone's stuff looks awesome!!

Here's a quick photo collage that is probably sorta close to what the final look will be. I want to play with how to make the faces a lot more.

The comic is represented by a series of recipe cards with a line of text lifted straight from a recipe. "Chop a clove of garlic." for example. Each panel will illustrate its part of the recipe with veggies and other ingredients acting out the directions in an abstracted way. A tomato slicing a clove of garlic with a big axe for example. The setting will be a sort of vague battle field with a lot of smoke and stuff. Everyone dies by the end and all the ingredients lay dead in a big pile. In the last panel they are revealed to be a delicious veggie lasagna.

this goes with what i posted below...like wayyy below

I'm not sure which direction I'm going with this yet. It's definitely going to be this on-edge looking old man I've been drawing a lot of lately. It's probably going to have something to do with either pirates or longshorman. And some fighting. It may also have to do with a bitter and confused child counterpart, maybe some kind of storytelling, like the old man is pulling the child into his delusional fantasies of fighting pirates. Not sure though. Mostly I just want to see awkward human interaction with this guy and others. Maybe even make him cry. More to follow.

posting in 15 minutes....

SOMETHING

Posting tomorrow or sunday, swear.

Paper cut outs of a big person in an environment populated by little people. He's there to fix something but doesn't know what.

Hey guys. So, I'm really excited to contribute to the anthology! Here's a rough sketch of what I've been kicking around. The story is of a young girl that works at a heart factory. Someone tries to poison her to steal her earnings... I have an idea of how it ends but I'm working that out.

Drawing Style...maybe.

Just a sketch of my character for the comic, maybe.

Helping Hands

Concept: a girl asks a god for water.

Holy Crap I finally have an idea.

Tentative Title:
"The Maritime Adventures of Whaley McHale, Episode the First: `Shark! The herald angels Sing'"

This is an old sketch I did of Whaley McHale, the pirate whale protagonist:


The rough idea:
"Whaley encounters the sweet song of a Siren, but, things aren't always what they seem."

I'll try to get more up before the end of the week.

sketches

basic premise, funny looking kid. people make fun of him. he gets back at them

Ydrasil

hey guys. don't think i'm going to be making it to the meeting. Buuuut to show that i'm alive this is what i've got so far. The idea so far is off the idea of reapers and death dieties.

The world is perpetuated by Odin (big burly rag guy). He brings night to the world and when he leaves it becomes day. To sustain himself he has harvesters, Lyn (the crow mask red riding hood) going all over the world and collecting peoples souls, which will be represented in "berries" that appear as people pass. So my story has to do with Lyn, doing her duty for Odin, "harvesting". While doing so she comes to a crossroads, where she experiences something she doesn't understand, and makes a choice on either sticking to her duty or making a choice of her own.

Anyways the story needs some work, but that is the jist. Let me know what you think!

Sanchez: The Comic

My idea consists of Sanchez and his slice-of-life interactions with other people. Basically, he's the only anthropomorphic being in an otherwise completely normal world. He has a beaver tail and wears women's boots. His belly button's an outie and he apparently has no visible genitalia despite his nudity. Go figure. By contrast, I plan on drawing every human more realistic in features and anatomy.

Sanchez is a cynic by nature. He's selfish, and annoyed for the most part by people and their reactions to him. Most of the time, no one thinks he's even real. He's either thought to be a hallucination, some sort of talking doll, or a prank pulled by a television show. In any case, he isn't shy. He says whatever's on his mind, no matter how rude or distasteful it might be.

My comic will be short and simple. I expect it to be about 2 to 3 pages long. Each page consisting of a different event of Sanchez's day. It begins once Sanchez's handheld game breaks down. Angry, he goes to a local game shop to get it fixed. I have ideas as to what happens next but I still want to flesh them out more before I post them.

That's all for now!
