deathnote fan art

utilising a few of the techniques that Justin Randall uses, i've managed to craft and sketch up some neat shit right here. recently finished watching the show Deathnote, and i really dug it, and the soundtrack. bin listening to that nonstop for the past few days now.

anyway, here's my latest photoshop concoction!

the face

so, i dedicated a good hour and a goddamned half tonite, to this.
i'm getting there, it's taking time, but i'm doin it

1am bullshit

i should be asleep. pen was making lines, this came out.
time to sleep

coffee

my drug, my crutch, my gun

manchild

fuzzy got to pick the last theme for the night (we were taking turns, his first theme was bear), as he had to hit the bed for an early start.
His theme of choice, was "manchild".

my contribution:

10 min. '40s scene

listening to Tom Waits while we draw, we figured the theme for our next image would be "a guy next to a lamp post lighting a cig" heh.
think im gettin the hang of this shit.

10 min. bear

10 min. sketch fights with fuzzy

i managed to convince fuzzydemon to do battle with me tonite in the form of 10 minute sketches together, much like what i was doing with fealasy last week hehe. our first one for tonite was themed around our two personas on deviantart. here was mine.

i think i'm finding a style

this is coming along really nicely
i fucking want to keep working on it, but i feel i must show this WIP, it has that completed air to it, if it were to neglect shading, at any rate. which, in itself, is a bold, enjoyable style.

moar from lastnight

my net died last night, so the posting had to stop.
plus my killer headache wouldn't permit me to stay
up and troubleshoot..

strokes, layers, text

small steps

exploring area tonite, lighting etc. i mean. you know. i know i got it down traditionally, sure. but this shit be different.

plus, working with layers and crap, experimenting, blah blah. anyway, back to ps.

i'm working on it

Net Down

so all of last night, from when i arrived home, to when i finally passed out to speed time towards Friday, i had no internet.

thus, couldn't be fucked doing a sketch last night. i probably should've still. ended up watching more deathnote as i'm actually finding it quite interesting and cool.

- i'm up to the bit where L has finally been killed, and near has just commenced his investigation into the killings.

Fuckn cool show!

anyway, now that i'm at work today, i'll be utilising what i have at hand here (as i work for an ISP) to investigate my connection, and hopefully help to fix it so that i CAN post when i get home..

the next theme we had that turned out quite well for me, was robin (as in this guy)



















so here was my contribution:

wahahaha!

so we're still drawing tonite, and we're doing themed 15 min. digital sketches
the first theme was animal sex.

sketch #2 for tonite
a character i've created for an online comic i've got in production with one of my best friends, Riana Moeller

a step in the right direction

how to start this thing.. god i've never been good at 'starting' journals, i always feel so overwhelmed by the whole nature of beginnings. i'm starting this online blog/journal/posting... thing. so to speak, so i may seek to inspire myself through something vaguely new.

i need to draw more, it's that simple. i'm just not doing it enough. or at all, rather. these past few months have been a dead slump of zilch, and for someone like me who's actually wanting quite badly to find a career where his illustration makes him the dough? that's some bad shit right there.

so my friend Alti, awesome designer and concept artist that he is, suggested i start this blog. The purpose herein being, to post shit. and to inspire myself to draw daily.

This gave me a really goddamned good idea, and what i'm going to be doing here is:

a.) posting a blog (obviously)
b.) i'm going to attempt to do at least 1 drawing a day. preferably more. in photoshop, with my new intuos3, and post it.
c.) hopefuly better myself as well.

This should accomplish, if i can keep it up, quite a number of things for me, by hopefully creating a decent, progressive online folio composed solely of digital images. It'll also get me better at drawing digitally, which.. my god, do i ever need to do. AND it'll inspire me to draw at all, which is the most important thing.

That said, let's get posting some art eh?

so, to start the whole shabang off, a sketch i'm actually quite proud of:
