You got a license for that?

This was for my own amusement. I swear.


I don't think so by ~Spork-Bunny on deviantART

Thanks to Ian it also spawned this:

(He's referring to his clothes). Saturday gets the aristocratic treatment while I gave Ramla a dress inspired by Black Peace Now but in purple and slightly different.
Silly silly fun. Now back to work!

Clockwork Queen- Samantha Sketches

CWQ- Samantha Sketches by ~Spork-Bunny on deviantART

Here are some sketches I uploaded last night of Samantha Carlouso before she became an airship captain. She's had a hard life.

Practice Comic and some CWQ

Just posted up a two page comic I did for practice over at Deviantart.com

I've also been working on some Clockwork Queen work today. I finally have a design for the scientist who gives Samantha her 'eye'. I'm very excited :D I wasn't going to to post the sketches but I will when I'm done. I love seeing other people's progress and production sketches so I might as well return the favor.

I'm also entering a poster contest over here. I hope I make the deadline. (Yay Nostalgia Critic!)

No classes means more work

So I emailed the people at Poictesme and they said they don't normally take comics at submissions but I could send them to the art director and see what he says (I don't really have anything to send, I just wanted to know so I could work under a deadline). But they also offered to see some of my other work so I might just do some pen/ink illustrations for now. Could be good practice plus I really want to publish something while I'm in school. I'm still kicking myself for missing my chance with Shoujo Phonebook.

Otherwise I've been sketching away in my new Moleskine sketchbook which I now love like a child. I've also been coming up with tidbits of story for a Spork Bunny mini comic. I'm still not 100% sure if I'll actually do it. I've also been planning out some promo/cover images for Clockwork Queen but really I think I should start doing some more sketches of the world and vehicles and things in it before I try to handle the pages again. I've also decided to use pigment liners for inking, I'm just not skilled enough with the crow quill yet to do the whole comic with it. I'll keep practicing though.

Clayton Chronicles is on hold, I haven't been working on it at all since coming to school. But it won't stay that way, we still plan on publishing that baby, even if it takes a while. After all, Lord of the Rings took Tolkien 14 years to write. I want everything to be perfect (or as near as possible) when we start publishing stuff. I'll probably have to realize I cant' do that but I'll wait till then!

Or Maybe Not is doing okay, I've done some work on it since coming to school but not lately (within the last two or three weeks).

All in all I'm feeling good and my weekend is pretty open. I have some figure drawing homework but I can do that in a day. I also have to study for a math test for tomorrow but that's really it. Meaning more time for drawing! I'll be sure to get off my lazy butt and do more drawing (and maybe finish coloring those bookmarks!).

Have a great weekend everyone! I'm off the gym!

Ultra Artsy TO DO LIST OF DOOM!

Sorry, no arts today, but I must write this up for my own good! 8D
SRS THINGS TO DO WHILE IN SCHOOL TO HELP ME AS AN ARTIST

-Get published in Poictesme: VCU's Literary Journal:This is an anthology that the school puts out. I recently picked up a copy myself and it seems to mainly focus on literary work with some art in it. What better to do than submit a comic or two :D Art and Literature FTW! It says up to 5 pieces, I'll see if I can do a five page self contained comic. It's no Shoujo Phonebook club/anthology but it'll do.

-Join SOCA and go on the New York Trip: I'm glad for the chance to do figure drawing with a bunch of my peers and have no teachers present. I can also use it for my figure drawing "10 sketches per class" assignments. Boy do I love those assignments -_- I'm also hoping to go on the New York trip in spring. I'd love to go to the galleries and emerge myself in art and all its glory! Super inspiration times too. Plus I've always wanted to go to New York.

-Make some nice business cards: This is slightly overdue but I finally found a printable template for business cards that I can use on Photo Shop (and not MS Word) so I should make some. Because I r srs artist.

-Professional Website?: I'm still not very familiar with dream weaver and I haven't had time to really study it. I might just keep Deviantart and my art blog for now, but I'll defiantly do one in the future.

FOR THE WINTER/SUMMER BREAKS?
Or when I have time...

-Get an AA table at a con: This will most likely have to wait till the summer and hopefully by then I will have a job to. If I have a job I can pay to get prints and merchandise made (not to mention actual comics printed) and pay to get the table and ticket for said con; then I can sell stuff and hopefully make monies. THAT IS THE PLAN.
Possible merch:
-comic books
-prints/mini posters
-bookmarks
-buttons
-stickers
-maybe postcards and keychains

-Look into making website
-WORK ON COMIC PAGES!!!!!! Gotta have comics to make a comic book :P or three...
-Keep up a good sequential/illustration portfolio to bring to cons.
-Keep drawing everyday.
-------------------------------------------

I think this is a good start. I need to make some more in depth goals with deadlines, especially for completing the comics and which con I want to/can go to, and making things to sell (when I should finish the pictures, what to make, how much it costs to get made, etc).

New arts!

Despite having homework (which I have been doing) I've managed to get some personal art done :D This includes two sketches colored on photoshop and an Or Maybe Not comic page, but I'll be saving that one for the first issue. I don't want all of them being show before the book gets done. Which is really hard because I want to show them all ;_;
moving on.


Here is a promotional image for our geek comedy comic, "Or Maybe Not". Click on it to download from deviantart!
I spent pretty much all night on this but I'm really pleased with it. It was based on a poster I saw for KERA magazine (with some changes on my part).


Here is a 'wedding photo' of one of my steampunk characters from a story I'm doing with my good friend Ian (he's also writing and editing OMN with us). Unfortunately for her, her wedding is not a happy one :/
The more I look at her dress the more I want it.

That's it for now, I might take photos of some homework assignments I've done lately tho they aren't terribly interesting. I did do a good pencil drawing of a skeleton torso. Skeletons are fun. Unless you're in my figure drawing class x_x
More updates later!
