Autumn Ent, coming along

                                 

Bit more done on this Autumn Ent during my lunch break today. 

Pencil on Moleskine, painted with ArtRage for iPad. 

Aaaaaalmost where I want it. 

This is why

This is why I bought myself an iPad last week.

            

ArtRage is so satisfying. Can't wait to get the Wacom Intuos Creative Stylus to go with it! 

Ent in Autumn, work-in-progress

Worked on this some more this evening while waiting for my son to fall asleep. Kid has such an imagination.

Not done yet. Pencil, imported into my iPhone 4 and painted with the Sketch Club app. 

Fanboy Monday: Fanboy Month Begins at the Ent

Lately I've been filling my sketchbook with some of my favourite characters from various pop culture franchises in a very fanboy-ish manner. So for the month of August, expect each Art Monday to feature something fun and different from usual Flying Trilobite fare. There are still a number of paintings not under the fanboy umbrella that I aim to crank out this month. Y'see I'm practicing not-sleeping for when I return to school in September.

Today, let's begin at the Ent.

Pencil in my super-awesome giant Moleskine Folio. I created this piece for Henry Gee and the magazine Mallorn. (I'm hoping it sees publication! Naked desire! There!) Henry was looking for something different than the work of Peter Jackson's films, or D&D derived imagery. I knew almost right away I wanted to do an Ent walking surrealistically on tiny roots and eyes blinking out of knots.

I think it's going to eat the wizard-dude though.

Next week: let's bust out some Marvel Comics, shall we?
