More for “The Hunger Games;” Katniss and Peeta again. Lots of revisions. I know that in the book their clothing is supposed to consist of simple khaki colored pants, a black sweat shirt, and a green shirt… and I know the weapons are not this high-tech, nor did they have body armor, etc., but how boring is it to just draw khaki pants? Very boring, let me tell you. So, what we have here is warrior Katniss and Peeta. Do not mess with them. Click the image for a larger version.

Also, finally got around to making a proper website.

A color key for the layout of Merlin’s cottage from earlier today.

Work in progress - layout sketch for Merlin’s house.

Went to Berkeley for Halloween weekend. Here are some Airport/Plane drawings. Also, I finished the Macbeth final painting which you can see here.

Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games.

Peeta Mallark from The Hunger Games.

A character design I’m working on for 2-D animation class.

This is still really rough, but I like when artists show process; so here is the in-progress final painting for the witches’ prophecy and Macbeth’s temptation. Obviously in the final there will be an actual background. And local colors. Ha.

The Once and Future King.

Rough story beats. The witches give a murderous prophecy and Macbeth’s lust for power is spurred on by Lady Macbeth. “Here honey, take my knife and kill our king!” Little does she know, she’ll be all, “Out damn spot!” later. I paraphrase, of course.

A drawing from class - watching my classmates instead of watching the lecture.

A drawing from my favorite thing to do on rainy days - people watching at Starbucks.

Still working on the image from The Once and Future King - Arthur comes upon Excalibur in the woods. A refined gray scale and some color comps. This is process! Hah!

School is hard; I am procrastinating. If I had the patience I would do a whole comic this way. Painterly-like. Actually, keeping with the current theme,  this would be perfect for a story like Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Edit: Or, All The Pretty Horses - I would definitely illustrate that novel in this style.
