Some new things

Not only have I never had a blog I haven't written anything much since I finished college almost a year and a half ago. I'm hoping to use this to work out some of my thoughts and present somethings that I've been working on, illustration wise.

About seven months ago or so I began working on a comic called Justice Falls written by Brent Cory and Matt Marks. We've been working on and off, but I finally feel like we're makeing some moves and all it took was trashing most of what we've done so far. It's for the better. The story didn't have any real substatial flow to it. The thought was that chaos in story telling would be be in a way groundbreaking, which led me into thinking that chaotic illustration and character design would be groundbreaking.

It wasn't.

It was just ugly.

So...we've scrapped several characters and set some others aside for now, and brought on what seems to be a more serious tone to the story and clear hook. As Brent described it, "...it's what would happen if you put Superman in Gothom and made his nephew Ironman." Except that our Ironman character, Airman, is shockingly more of an asshole then Tony Stark, simply because of how oblivious he is. With the changes that Brent and Matt have made I feel like it's necessary that I take a on a more appropriate look at the character designs, something closer to realism, but still try to keep a surrealistic flavor.

This evening I finished the new designs for Coyote, my favorite character. I feel like he's going to be our hero. I wasn't giving him the attention that he deserves. I'll be posting them up soon.

I'm also going to be working on some sketch cards for Upper Deck as promotion for the new Thor movie...kind of looking forward to that, should be pretty interesting.



Alright then...a post...hopefully it's only down hill from here. I might soon be throwing up some rants about the demise of the middle class and end of worker...and how it feels like it's all just about to fall down. It might seem like I'm calm a collected if you don't know me...but the truth is that I'm one of the angriest people that you'll come across. If I'm speaking professionally, then I suppose I'm speaking professionally...but if not then you'll quickly find that I can be kind of a fucker.

Scotch and sex America. I fucking love you.
