A quick break to post a new sketch. This was done for Warren Ellis’s Remake/Remodel exercise over at his Whitechapel forum. Since he doesn’t host images there I needed to find somewhere else on the web to post it. Head on over to Whitechapel if you want to see what other artists have done with the concept.

Kip Manley contributed a couple of proposals to our package of animation serial ideas. I’ve forgotten the title of the other one (and my memory of its premise is likewise very fuzzy) but Dot Dash was a series paralleling the communications boom sparked by the telegraph back at the turn of 20th century with the then current boom of the internet. I put this cover together in Illustrator, one of the few times I’d used the program for illustration work.

Another Painter experiment from 2001 or 2002. I don’t remember what I was doing to get that weird rectangle at her eye.

Another unfinished portfolio illustration from 2000/01.

This unfinished piece is probably from 2000 or 2001. I was working up a portfolio of horror and fantasy illustration that I planned to submit to gaming companies.

And so we come to the end of another sketchbook. Have a great Monday y’all.

Sometimes you’ve just got to decapitate someone and put his head on a stick. It makes the citizenry love you all the more.

This guy really doesn’t look happy. Maybe he doesn’t like his company on the rest of the page.

I love the turnipy sort of fellow on the right. I wish there was a story behind him. He just appeared on the page as is. Perhaps I’ll get around to making up a story for him one day.

More lines on paper. More mysteries in unravel.
