Title: Sketches
Post by: Michael on Tue, 06 August 2013, 20:15:06
Wanted to share some of my artwork. And have a discussion with people with similar passions.


I started drawing when I was about 8 years old. Star Wars was my first inspiration. Second was comic books. I wanted to work for Image comics right out of college.
I think right around that time was when the comic book industry was flailing, and artists weren't being paid much anymore. Since then, I went mostly into Web-related
media; User Experience, UI Design, etc.


Here are a few pieces I did early on after college. Some are more recent, and focused around game character design (which is what I am currently working my way into):

Some of these are really good man, nice work.  I can see the McFarlane influence. :)

Thanks, and yes definitely A LOT of McFarlane influence. The Spawn series was very inspirational

Those are AMAZING, broheim. And the story that accompanied was totally a scene setter.
Now, how do I steal skills in this game again? All kinds of jelly is spilling out of me.

Btw, ever had a thought about making your own web comic?

Wow. All of those are absolutely amazing. The third, fourth and last are my favourites though.

I enjoy drawing but I will openly admit that I'm really, really bad at it. I did a drawing of a skull recently which I quite liked. I used a photo for some reference - I'm not yet at a stage where I can draw things from my mind and make them look even remotely nice or realistic. Maybe I'll post a photo sometime tomorrow..

And Glissant, press R :))

@Glissant - Thank you, kind sir. And I did consider making my own comic, but a web comic sounds even better! I need some ideas, though.... hmmm..




@Photekq - Appreciate the kind words. Anything spawn-related would have to my be favorite, as well :)

Make a web comic based on Geekhack.  :eek:  Tackle real life issues with an amusing twist based on the personalities present on the board.  Or have a keyboard-wielding band of mecha pilots save the Earth from some alien threat.  :))
