Just added a couple Yahtzee Doodles and one more color sketch I did at lunch today with my Copics. It’s another version of my character Anne. I really want to be all witty and fun, but I’m tired, so you’ll just have to enjoy the view…

See the Yahtzee Doodles…

ComicSpace is Back!

Augiewan — Sun, 27 May 2007 02:07:30 +0000

I know this is a bit late for those who have been watching the site non-stop, but ComicSpace is back up and running! Josh (the site owner/operator) has been struggling for a week or so to get the site back up at a new hosting facility. Apparently the host he was using was being less than helpful with some database issues he was having. Bad service =Bye bye customer! Why don’t service companies understand this?

Well, this news also means that my profile page there is back up as well! Woohoo!

Wicket & Imp in Color

Augiewan — Tue, 22 May 2007 12:25:16 +0000

One of the local comicbook creators has an ongoing book called Wicket & Imp. He’s (er, I mean the characters are) about as deranged as they come. He called out for pin-ups for the next book coming out and here’s what I came up with. He got the black & white version, but I thought I’d color this photocopy with my Copic markers. Since it was just copy paper, I couldn’t pull off much of the blending or effects that make Copics so great, but I like it anyway…

A Stab at “realistic” with my Copic Markers

Augiewan — Wed, 09 May 2007 16:34:04 +0000

I tend to draw in a comic/cartoon style most of the time. I feel more free to draw that way because of not being bound strictly to the rules of physics or anatomy. half the stuff I draw in the comic world doesn’t even exist in the real world, so there no chance of drawing it wrong. I like that. It’s safe.

But I do like pushing myself at times, so the other night I took a shot at a more realistic illustration of a female from a photo reference. It (of course) was done using my new love, Copic Sketch Markers.

Please let me know what you think! Should I keep exploring this aspect or should I stick with Comic style?
