noir girls and anniversaries

Hey guys! I have done sketches and things! Look at my things that I have done!

First off, here are some sketches I did today of some lovely noir ladies. The first one I started off using this technique of penciling out the angles which I got from this video. It seemed like an interesting idea, so I tried it out.

It was an interesting exercise. I should try it out more. Then I did a more fully rendered version which I'm pretty proud of:

Finished!

Hey guys! I've finally finished my Fiction Project journal! So relieved. I'll have more time to not worry about that now, so more time for comics and animations and all that jazz(maybe)!

It's pretty rough (I didn't even erase the pencils) and near illegible. I'm most likely going to post it here or make a new Tumblr for it. I'm not happy with it enough to post it on Rocket Powered Dragon with my other webcomics, but people still might enjoy it.

Also if you noticed at the left, I added a button for Rocket Powered Dragon! If you haven't checked out our stuff, you should!

I also finally got to playtest the newest version of my Rickety Rat boardgame. It was semi successful, but still needs to iron out some kinks. I'll do a post o the Rickety Rat blog soon.

I have plans to keep busy this week, so Look out for a new Barber, a new Purple Boy and Turquoise Girl, a new Random Awesome comic, and Sketched Screenings post! Plus more sketches and random junk.

Stuff is happening!

I've just realized that almost 2 years ago I created this and called it "Daily Graphic journal", and what with the new Rocket Powered Dragon website up and subsequent blog, I haven't been doing much daily updating. Well no more! I can at the very least update on what's going on in my other comics and blogs and give some sketches here and there.

It's Tuesday! And that means there's a new Brother Rabbit and Acquaintances! You should go check it out, but here's a preview here:

Yeah, I did the sideways dialogue thing. Not because I want to be a fancy shmancy typographer, it just fit in that space that way. What do you think? Too mainstream?

Also I have some pics of backgrounds and of boards over at my Rickety Rat blog.

Also also, I've been doing more work on my sketchbook project, and I'm getting close to being done. I may put it online as a webcomic type organism if I like the art that much. So far, I only feel meh about the art though. But here is the cover and some bits of art:

I like the slightly tan of the page with all the lines. I'm considering making a business card of the second guy.

Also the third, I want to make a Random Awesome comic this week entitled, "A Man of Science". I've been working on the main character and I just can't get his head shape right. Here are his many incarnations!

I will probably do an in depth post of his head on the RPD blog. I'm also going to try to do a Sketched Screenings post this week. Sometime. More stuff to come!

More Noir Sketches

My fiction project story comic thing is coming along nicely. I've written the main story, figured out the layout, and designed the main characters! I have more noir sketches! NOIR SKETCHES EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME!

The Florist is my main protagonist. Here's his progression in to madness:

SOme facial expressions for the Girl with no name.

Different skins for the slinky girl

A sleazy jolly assassin.
