Stage one of a semi-themed peice. I realize that I don't do enough 'scenes' as opposed to 'poses', and the only way to correct that is to directly work at it. So, with Halloween coming up, I figured you can't go wrong with zombies.

I've also included my "hand-zapper" thing, for some unknown reason.

Trying a different sketching technique. Looking for a pseudo-noir look. I'm not sure where I'm going with it exactly.

Noir Sketch 1

I'm trying a bit of an odd noir scene here. I'm not really liking the guy in the background (hence the cropped version) but I thought I should push myself into doing more of a layout with a background and other characters (as opposed to just poses).

Yeah, the guy is shooting from his hands, no guns. Thought it was neat.

Yeah, I have no explanation for this sketch. Frankly, I'm just not sure what I can do next on the Siva drawing.

Siva - stage 5


Siva - stage 5
Originally uploaded by mattharvest.
Here's a first 'draft' of the finished black & white. The next step is composing the surrounding image. I'm not totally satisfied with the right foot somehow. To view a version without the sketch layers, head over to my Flickr photostream.

In terms of changes, note the following: (1) reworked upper-left-forearm, (2) shifted entire upper-right-arm upwards and rebuilt shoulder, (3) rebuilt lower-right-arm's shoulder to try and show a full process instead of just 'plugging' it in, (4) fixed the left calf to properly align the muscles with the center line, (5) assorted other fixes.

So more ink-work (obviously this is all digital, so 'ink' here just refers to the black outlining). Just to show how it looks 'clean', I've hidden the sketch layers.

New work: redid the upper right shoulder (I'm not positive on it yet), resised the lower left hand, and did inking on both right arms.

An updated sketch. Note the movement of hte left foot (so that the flow seems more natural). The purple sketches indicate the clothing/accessories that help to show motion.

First sketch for a siva-like character. I like the energy in its contortion, though I'm not convinced yet about his left leg/foot's position.

(got my clerkship today! Back to Miami for 2007...first time I'll be living there in awhile...)

This is a bit old: 2004. Since I've switched to Flickr, I'm uploading some older drawings.

If you're linked to the Flickr page, be sure to use the buttons on that page to navigate to the higher resolution images if you're interested.

Flickr

This is a test post from flickr, a fancy photo sharing thing.

Okay, here's the full sized latest version.


I've moved over to Flickr, unfortunately having to pay there too (at least I can keep stuff at full resolution there).

I've decided I'm only going to link full resolution images for final copies, but if you're really eager you can go find my flickr account where they're public.

Thumbnail of new work

Photobucking is screwing me...they've altered their rules so now (a) the higher resolution image hosting costs money, and (b) even that wont house my full resolution images. Very irritating. Plus, blogspot doesn't seem to want to do so either.

New pic


This one is from a model, and she doesn't want her face online. Unfortunately, most of the work done so far is on the face, which makes posting it ironic.

Been awhile since a post.

I forgot to post this when I drew it a few days ago.

Two updates on the new drawing



First just an outline, then the first in the coloring. Trying to do it in a more illustrative fashion.

Street rage, stage 1


No real explanation for anyone. Obviously the sketch layers are still visible.

Finished fire monk



Okay, radically different color scheme. Because I thought it was neat, I've included the image both with and without the inking.

Two part update



Same core drawing, but two updates. First, just the new inking part. Then, one possible shading direction. Note that not yet drawn is the inking for the stylized flames that will be surrounding his hands.
