Look, I know I have no one to blame but myself. Regardless, I have had Yellow Submarine in my head for the past 18 hours. First thought that popped in my head was to do a nice illustration of a Cold War era submarine with alot of detail and maybe some sharks swimming around it but I went with this.
Kickin’ it with my kid. Wasn’t really sure what to do with this one. At first I was thinking something with Spider-Man. I still love Into the Spiderverse, so I was thinking about doing something messing around with Miles’ Jordans and maybe a mask but we were watching Death Note and all the detectives are wearing suits so I ended up going in this direction. I was really trying to keep it as simple as possible while adding complexity mostly with line density. Pretty happy with how this one turned out.
Here we go! Trying to start strong. Stayed up a little too late to work on this but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. Tried to take on a challenge I didn’t know if I could accomplish. I didn’t know if it would read as a crystal but I showed my kids and they both knew it was a crystal immediately so I will take that as a win. I’m going to try not being negative about my stuff. I am too busy to get bogged down. I’m going to keep pushing forward and keep making some art. See you tomorrow!
Inktober is nigh. I have a goal in mind but I also have a busy month ahead. In November I am going to try selling some of my wares at a small convention. Mighty Con is in November and I gotta get my booty working. I’m already starting to panic a bit. It’s a step I should have made a while ago but was too scared and lazy to make. I forced myself into it by telling someone who is motivated and involved that I was interested. Next thing you know, here we are. Anyway, here is the prompt list… Alot of fun stuff on there. Every time I look at it a couple ideas come to mind. Should be a fun but chaotic month.
This is not a rant, just an observation. We take art for granted and really do not value it at all. We value scarcity, which is why some art is worth money but we don’t actually value art. I understand this and always have considering my job is somewhat reliant or based in art. They pay me for my technical knowledge, not for the artistic side of my accomplishments. As I said, this isn’t a rant, just an observation. I was out of town this weekend for a little family get-together. We were all just kinda hanging out chatting and I started doodling… I didn’t make a big deal of it. It was just a doodle and not alot of time went into it but my mother-in-law, being a mother, was really sweet and wanted to leave it out when it was time to clean up at the end of the night. So it stayed out and she propped it up so people could see it. I didn’t...
