Rap-Tor June 27, 2008

Posted by Gaz in : Sketches , 4 comments

Hey guys,

Just this week I have signed on as the artist for a web-comic called “Rap-tor”, It was created and is written by Matthew Psallidas.

...its his baby, so throw any accolades regarding dinosaur mayhem, and rich guy shenanigans his way! I’m just an ink slinging hired-gun on this one.

It should be updated once a week on drunk duck, and the first one is already up here:

or,… if you are lazy I am also posting it here :P

Hey here is an hand I sketched while working on an animation for the history channel web-site.

I am trying to be a constructionist, that is referencing how things are built to the point of memorization, and using that to make them look realistic in poses that are not referenced, rather that using photo reference, or making it up completely like with cartooning….I guess….

Hey!

Been busy lately with paying work, the Battle cartoon Kevyn and I are working on, and a friend’s wedding this weekend.

Meanwhile here a a story board from the aforementioned Battle cartoon, I am working them up at 8×10, which is crazy big, compared to what I would usually do, but I read that that is how Don Bluth does it, so awaaaaay I go!

Hey, Here is a quick sketch of a cartoony scorpious for farscape.

The outfit is probably a little off since I did it from memory but hey maybe he upgraded after the series.

Right now I am working on a second t-shirt design for someone, as well as a pin-up to be published in an up-coming indie superhero book called, EXCENDOR.

Once I am allowed I’ll post those but for now enjoy Scorpy:

I erased the info in photoshop.

Here are some character designs for a personal project my friend Kevyn and I are working on. I have my doubts as to weather or not it will reach completion, but If nothing else, we’ll both get some samples, and sandwiches of fun out of it.

Indiana? we named the drawing Indiana!!! June 2, 2008

Posted by Gaz in : Caricatures, Personal , 1 comment so far

Hey, so with the new movie and all I thought I’d try an Indiana Jones pic, (young version).

I once again did these on the Cintiq only. used photo ref on the main monitor, which I am including.

The full body one I did a blue line and then during clean up I didn’t like the likeness so I quit.

Found a CU pic, and did it without the rough, did erase a bit though.

Generally I am not great with likeness, which is ironic since I make a good portion of my income as a caricature artist….but there is a big difference between getting a decent likeness in 5 minutes in marker of someone at a party, and taking my time to get a likeness of someone famous, dunno maybe it’s the pressure of all that time…*shrug*.

I did this on the cintiq in flash. I’ve been digging on the turtles a lot lately, maybe I’ll get to doing a nice finished piece eventually.

I was talking to my buddy Joe at Comic con a few weeks ago.

I was reminding him of a pic I had, of us and two other friends, as the 90’s playmates teenage mutant ninja turtle toys.

He drew when we worked at six flags doing caricatures together.

I scan and post it now for you to enjoy!

I penciled it and scanned it first, then inked and colored it in photo shop on my cintiq,

I took the opportunity to experiment with some layer masks as well.

Quelyn handled the lettering duites, Johh Workan look out!
