Christmas Card OF DOOM


Finally. Done. I think. Color looks way way too saturized (sp?) here but I don't care.
I will probably do a few more touch ups, but for now.

...

I don't care, I'm tired.

Art update!

This is why we draw and draw and re-re-draw.
As you may (or may not) know I am working on a Christmas card for the college of fine arts and communications at BYU and my topic assignment is Christ: I am the Life.
Difficult!
So here are my sketches since last post:


Getting there... But note the distracting tangents where the slope of the mountain, his knee and the horizon line meet. BAD.

Tried getting rid of some of the weird tangents; tried the red sash...

And then my professor siad, "why don't you look at the work of William Morris and try some other ideas... And these resulted. I'm going with this idea now, so hopefully the people at the college will like it!

And below are some ideas for a short graphic-novel, which I hope to put into a collection and sell at Comicon.
Basically with this story it's an excuse to draw a cute kid in a cat-hat and pillowcase dress, tomatoes, and a creature with ape arms and huge ram horns.
Yeah.
And the kid will have freckles and SUNBURN.
The row of 11 heads has nothing to do with this idea. It's from another arc I want to develop someday but for now...

TOMATOES! I love them. :heart:

That's it I guess.
I can't bear to upload any of my crappy gesture night drawings. :( Sorry guys, they're just not good.

A pen sketch...

I know I haven't uploaded anything for the past... forever. I'm sorry. School and life and my inability to manage time... Yeah. You get the idea.
This is for a Christmas card based on the theme of "I AM the Life." It looks more like an Easter card...

Back to work!
