The client asked for another George; this time sitting down with a road sign. These are the first two sketches I worked up from those instructions.
Who Let These People In Here?
Here we have a page without celebrities, just poor random unnamed characters that were given form on the page and then forgotten. Until now. Then tomorrow will come, I’ll post another sketch and they will fade again.
Frankensketching
A little Frankenstein monster, a Beastie in the upper left and some vague Milpitas Monster in the background.
Yellow Sign and Others
The symbol at the top of the image is my version of the Yellow Sign used in the Black Seal t-shirt. Then I just used the rest of page to sketch whatever/whoever came to mind. The guy in the hat looks like he should be someone significant but, if so, I’ve now forgotten who he was supposed to be.
Mor(e)lock
Another sketch of a morlock. And supporting cast. Of sorts.
Yellow Sign
I did an illustration of the King in Yellow as a t-shirt for The Black Seal. And what’s the King without the Yellow Sign? The thing is, the Yellow Sign as commonly seen was designed by Kevin Ross for Chaosium and is copyrighted. So I designed a new sign. These six drawings here are the choices I sent my editor.
Nizzitoon
Nizzibet doesn’t like to have her photo taken. She needed a picture for some promotional material for a client so she asked me to cartoon her. This is the base art. I added more color and highlights in Photoshop. I’m not sure where the final version is.
Work It
Further sketching for logo for fitness trainer.
Workout
These sketches were done for a logo for a client who was a fitness coach.
Superhero Noir
This sketch is based on a character design by Nizzibet. A friend of ours asked us to contribute to an anthology he was thinking of putting together around the theme of superhero noir – that is, noir stories featuring superheroes. We didn’t get much farther than a rough draft of the script and this design for the heroine. Ultimately the story was darker than anything Nizz wanted to spend time writing and longer than I was willing to commit time to without getting paid. Unfortunately the anthology never got beyond the talking stage. Too bad. I may not have felt I could contribute to it but I would have liked to have read it.
