Watercolor Practice

A small watercolor painting I’ve been working on and off since the holidays. My character Alice from a comic that me and Ryan want to work on in the future. It’s not hugely important for us to get done soon so it might pop up in the next few years. Otherwise I’ll just keep drawing her for fun. I tweaked the colors to be brighter and more vibrant since my scanner ate them. I also forgot when I painted it that I wasnt' going to give her a pink nose anymore. Awell. It was fun to work on and I learned a lot from it.

Goat Steed

So during my senior year in college me and friends started all going to the gym together as motivation to get healthy. One day we went the weather ended up being so nice we couldn't bare to stay inside so we hoped in my friend's car and drove to Maymont. Maymont is a beautiful estate with parks, a petting zoo, animal inclosures, ponds, and lovely Victorian buildings (and horse drawn carriages!). We had a great time walking around (those hills make a good workout) and took loads of reference photos. While walking around I took lots of photos of goats and a great appreciation of them was born. As was the in-joke that if I could have a mighty steed to ride around on I would want a giant goat. References to Thor's goats were also made.

This comic page is pretty much word for word a story I made up as we walked around that day. My friends featured in the last panel are Reach and Seir.

This is pretty much the result of having too much fun with comics, and friends. No regrets. And I really do suggest everyone go visit Maymont if they ever find themselves in Richmond, VA.

Comic update!

Hello everyone! We've got a two page update today for my webcomic Or Maybe Not. Drawing Ian angry is one of my new favorite things. And no rogue mustaches this time!

Webcomic goes LIVE!

IT LIVES!!!

My webcomic with Ryan Moody, "Or Maybe Not" goes live tomorrow morning! Be sure to read it and let me know what you think about it! I'm still figuring out my inking methods for it (each comic project I do seems to want to be inked differently).

And here is some artwork I did of me drawing comics for my "Make Your Own Comics" class fliers. Blue Non-Photo Pencil and Pocket Pentel Brush Pen.

Comic Comeback

Hey Everyone! I'm currently working on some new pages for the revival of "Or Maybe Not", a slice of life geek comedy that me and Ryan Moody started in 2008 and are working on once again. He's got a stack of finished scripts for me so I'm working on some content for a new web comic. I'm hoping to update once a week, and some updates (most at this rate) will contain multiple pages. So far I'm working on the first script which will be 3 comic pages. I also have to do a banner for the webpage which will be on Smackjeeves.com. We had a keenspace one I made a few years ago but I've lost all the information for it and cannot find it. So with a new year we will start fresh!

But while I work on that and deal with job/work stuffs, here is the DA page containing all the old OMN comics that we had on LJ http://omn-comic.deviantart.com/ As the comic goes on I'll see if I can revive that too.

I'm hoping to finish the pages this weekend but we'll see how it pans out. I'm very excited to finally have a webcomic up and give OMN the chance it deserves.
