so this is rakugaki power

Just another dumpdate! Had an idea for a paper delivery comic. It'd be like mad max/intial d on bikes with lots of painful bruising crashes! I think I drew the last page while listening to Muse's Exogenesis, the finale in particular. It spurred me to draw the finale of one comic. I drew the creatures on the right after reading Yukinobu Hoshino's 2001 Nights, a masterpiece of science fiction comics.

rakugaki returns

I guess in order to make up for lost time I'll just start updating semi- daily?
The 2nd rakugaki book I started didn't really have anything great... a lot of it was rut-ridden, but some interesting ideas still managed to poke through.


My favorites in these pictures are probably the thugs. Mean, ugly thuggy thug-thugs. Thugs with faces that would make their mothers want to punch them. Maybe I should just make a book with nothing but thug fodder in it.

coming back

HAPPY NEW YEARS!

GRAH! Missed it by a few hours! Dammit Josh!

Oh, well... let's make it a good one! Or rather, Let's make it GRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEAAAT!

alright, now this is more like it

I've spent the past few nights working on a new coloring style and here's the progession, in chronological order. The drawings themselves are pretty old, but I'm still going to work off of them for consistency's sake. I think that even with their multiple errors and levels of unfinish in the drawing stage, if I were to draw them now, they'd be very different.

yeah, i don't know either

On the left: watercolor on moleskine.
On the right: digital colors.

The one on the left was done after the one on the right. A lot of people couldn't figure out exactly what was happening when I was working on this, and to be honest, now I can see why. It was intended to be a final rendering for a conceptual illustration class last year; and this scene tried to capture the climax of the story I had come up with at the time.

End result: meh.

I did learn some nifty tricks in the digital version, however.

watercolor candy

These pictures were drawn and colored listening to lots of pumpin disco and Midnight Juggernauts.

They're all watercolor and ink with slight digital touchups, mainly on the skin.

On the right here, we take a sneak peek into Jenny's everyday going ons, and on top we sail straight through the sun on a cosmic disco train. :D

...

I wonder if I pick these Fruit Loopsy Starburst Trix colors because I'm slightly colorblind.
