Wednesday digital photoshop doodle with Kyle Animator Pencil Preset.

Hey. I wish it was another 48 pages from Tom Moon too.

I bought a big package of Kyle Photoshop brushes at one point so that I'm on his email list.

This Animator Pencil preset is free.

I gave 5 bucks for it. Definitely worth that.

I really like doodling with it.
Feels like a pencil.

More contrast

 

You ever see the movie Idiocracy? I've been working on the sequel.

I've been trying to ink in photoshop with brush cursor set to reflect the shape of the brush. Meaning guesswork where my line is actually going to start. I just switched to 'precise' in the preferences.

Lord, what a difference a setting can make.

I might be able to draw without the messes I mention in the comment section.

coming soon- Bat Hulk

You Rang? Final cut

YOU RANG?

Some much needed cutting on running length. 

Came out decent. Couple of cool sound additions.

I was going to be the voice on the other end of the line. And I couldn't pull it off to my satisfaction. I think it plays better with just Scott's voice.

It shouldn't be possible. I just watched a 1948 movie with dinosaurs and a Sloth the size of King Kong that I knew nothing about. With good actors.

Unknown Island

Lot of it shot in Corriganville -which I've jogged through enough to have every oak tree and boulder memorized.

Ray Crash Corrigan played the Sloth.

For Jim Gorham

Working on this animal drawing class. So dang far behind. This is to give 'em an idea of how to build a drawing. A true step-by-step scan (except the abstraction), but turned out stiff-as-hell in the end, didn't it? Crap. Shouldn't work in blue pencil, either....

Jim Gorham, hope you're OK. Neither me nor Ranjo have been able to reach you by phone. I guess I should email. And I will. Soon as I finish prepping this class.

Ellis, I was thinking of your "You Rang" last night as I watched the obscure Warren Oates opus "Chandler." I taped it 'cuz: (1)Warren Oates and (2) I was thinking of "Hammet" (?) The Frederick Forrest movie from Zoetrope. The opening shot of Chandler was great, but oh, man, what a bad movie. Beautifully shot. And a gloriously mature Leslie Caron hustled about while wearing full-on 70's regalia of a rare gorgeousness.
My version of this internet meme:

BTW, this horse is my answer to my all-time favorite internet meme (which I showed the students on the first day of class as I inveighed against 90% of the "How to Draw Animals" books out there):

New movie masterpiece- YOU RANG?

(deleted the other two rough cuts)

YOU RANG? 5
Unfinished sound but the cuts are finished.

I did this film grab from the Avengers Ultron movie.

Most of the buildings in downtown OKC look like those surrounding the Avengers building.

Basic principle of art appeal. Contrast.

1940s architecture with Buck Rogers in the middle.

we can all relate

Have a look at what Tom Racine has been up to.   It's nice to know that all artists go through the same thing.

Revising FUME Cover

I am doing another pass on the FUME cover for the final comic. Not finished but I'm looking for comments and suggestions on what bugs you. No leading comments from me...just fire away with gripes--it'll be much appreciated!

Ellis Edit

adding a jpg where I converted to cmyk. Flip back and forth.

No big deal. Dark contrasts got the most damage

What the heck. When I looked at it full size on the blog, it's nothing like what I preview with the mac. Hmmm. The little thumbnail doesn't have such flipped out / oversaturated colors.

I thought of this at work today. Don't worry it's a fixed cost contract so no more taxpayer money than usual was wasted.
