Tales from the Sketchbook 015 - Day 19

Another femme fatale armed with a megaphone. I've been thinking that these illustrations really need to be done with a gig-poster mentality.
Been working on a video editing project, lately. It's given me lots of time to sketch during processing time, but I really need to get some finished illustrations and comics done, too.

Still playing around with ideas for a bigger illustration. I like juxtaposing a simple figure with a simple silhouette against a very detailed and busy background. Maybe having the figure in color with the background in blocked-in grays. I just don't know if this is the background for the figure I've got in mind, or if I should come up with a new figure idea. I can always save the one I have in mind for later. Questions that can only be answered with more sketches.

Been a busy weekend.

Started sketching this at the Free Press Summerfest in Houston, but the rain kinda stopped my ability to get much more sketching done. Either way, seeing a live performance from the Flaming Lips fill your head with enough imagery to last for months.
A bit of that imagery has been working it's way into an idea for a pin-up poster illustration. Still haven't started on the final image, but I like the way the sketches are going.

Also, the idea for this cathedral/spaceship has been floating around in my head too. I'm not sure about the design I have here, but we'll see where it goes.

Still playing around with environments and refineries. This sketch is a little more of a narrative piece, maybe something to build up into a full illustration.
I really do love the aesthetic quality of refineries. The grow out and build up like a biological process, that's so unique to architecture.

New sketch for some kind of industrial, refinery type of city.

Tales from the Sketchbook 010 - Captain Kiser

Last month I was involved in a little lucha libre match at art gallery in Dallas. The main event was a match between Captain Kiser and The Roughneck. Here are some pictures: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=213336&id=195878661210&ref=pb
Threw out a couple of sketches today of Captain Kiser and his arch rivals The Art Mafia. Drew them in more of a comics (highly Mignola influenced) style.

More robots? Yes, more robots.
