Ghost Squirrel Scene Two – Layouts version 2

Right-o!  Reworked boxing scene in full.  Page 5 has an extra panel.  The original (second version) was fine and all, but it didn’t quite match the pacing of the rest of the scene.

The scene is meant to be a quick paced teaser to establish the rather important plot point that Squirrel is…well…already dead!

Comic book pencil layouts featuring a ringing boxing bell, a cheering animal audience, and a bobcat taking a swing at a squirrel.

Comic book pencil layouts featuring many small panels. An owl watches a boxing match, looks a little worried, and nervously holds a pocket watch. Meanwhile, the bobcat and squirrel fight.

Comic book pencil layout featuring a continued boxing match between a bobcat and a squirrel. A nearby guppy has unkind words to say about the squirrel.

Comic book layout showing the squirrel punching the bobcat. The bobcat winds up a punch in retaliation and the owl, for some reason, looks happy about this.

Comic book page pencil layout showing the final "tock" of the pocket watch while the audience looks shocked. The owl is extra pleased.

Gotta Love Robots

Early draft, round face.Opening up the vault for this one.   Character designs of main character from an animated short I was working on.  The final robot looked a bit different, but I do like these early examples.

 

Lady with Prominent Nose and Thighs

Illustration of artist's model with prominent nose and thighs.

Part of me thinks this drawing is very weird looking.  But then again…there is some nice…shall I say “drama” to the line work.

I’ll go hide in a corner for typing that now.

Freaky Faced Lady

Green pencil illustration of a woman sitting on a cloth covered stool.

The “cream” set continues.  I always thought the way I drew this lady’s face seemed slightly…Miyazaki, I suppose.  It might be her expression.

Buff Man, Cream Paper

Long pose illustration featuring buff man with crossed arms.

Another of the “cream paper” set.  This one features my favorite model — alas, now far away in Hawaii — an amazingly build man, perfect for drawing.

I like the way I drew ankles in this period.  I should take it up again.

Cream Colored Gesture

Life drawing gesture on cream paper made with red and grey colored pencil.

A shorter pose from the “cream paper” set.  I drew the model’s left hand particularly well, I think.  Very claw like.

Long Pose, Stange Knees

Drawing featuring long pose illustration of a nude man reclining on a board.

Another weirdly drawn guy.  Longer pose.  I think his proportions are a bit off, but the energy of the line work is nice.

He also has two knees on one leg.  Or maybe that’s skin flap.

Character Design for an Upcoming Comic Book

A character design for a comic book (or graphic novel, if you will) I’m currently working on.  Timid Mole is his name.  As fitting his character, my goal was to make him as sweetly shifty as possible.

Success?
