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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Okay, here's the full sized latest version.

2006-09-19T13:24:00.000-04:00

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.

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.

2006-09-18T19:02:00.000-04:00

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.

Well, after some comments I decided I needed to have better quality cloth, and a cleaner signature. So, here is the update.

New picture next post, I promise.

Stage 5 of the Big Guy

2006-08-19T12:44:00.000-04:00

Note the shading now present on his upper torso and left forearm.

2006-08-17T19:03:00.000-04:00

Here's the latest update. Major changes include (1) updating the right hand so that the index finger looked more appropriate, and (2) shading in the left hand.
I'm oddly hapy with the left hand, although I may change the way the left pinky looks.

More on the big guy

2006-08-16T12:52:00.000-04:00

Here's the new update (around an hour's new work). I'm particularly happy with the forearm and hand, less satisfied with the bicep. Might re-work that (or perhaps throw a cloth over it, hah).

2006-08-15T23:01:00.000-04:00

Here is the next version of this guy. As you can see, I started with a nice mid-tone blue (matching, roughly, my favorite shade of charcoal paper to use colored pencils on), and have begun working in fleshtones. I'm sort of figuring out the content as I go, but you can see another hour and a half of work here.

The close-up of the head gives a better indication of the detail. These aren't the full-resolution images, of course.

For those interested, there are several layers in the photoshop file - the sketching (light lines in the background), the inking (the solid black lines on top), and the coloring (the shading below the ink). When I'm finished, the coloring alone would probably be interesting even without the inking.

2006-08-15T16:58:00.000-04:00

This is the curent status of a new pic. This is like two hours in or so.
