Posting New Story Page by Page

I am going to try to start posting pages of my story regularly leading up to me putting it out. For now, here's the first three! They will be in the Cauldron In The Back Cabinet page.

Artlink's Toy and Book Illustration Show

Going to be a fine show of art over at Artlink in Fort Wayne coming up.  They are sporting a Toy And Book Illustration Show.  Work featured in books and with books and toys as the theme.  I have some work from my RocketBoy book in the show as well as local illustrators and artists.  I'll be selling copies of the book at the show, too.

Also, check out the the installation show that will be there, too!

The Characters From "The Story"

Working on the look of the book: characters, toning, color. I think I got the look pf the characters, down, still toning and coloring. Got lots to do between now and December 8th.

Ghost and Boy with Color

The final color version. Still playing with tone and color for the look of my other project. Getting closer. Thanks to Tim Baron and Aaron Minier for toning help.

Below is the original pen sketch.

Livi and The Imps Sketch

One of the sketches that was waiting for color so patiently has been rewarded with color. Well, I hope it was a reward and not a miserable failure. Still working out color schemes and toning. I want the books to have a monochromatic look with a blue tone. Not quite sure this is the exact look but it's a start. Still figuring a look for the texture, too. I don't want to get too fancy as there are people who do it better and that's not quite the look I want.

Drawings Waiting Patiently

A couple of quick drawings. The left one is a drawing working out a couple different characters for a story I'm working on and I just wanted to draw weird space scene on the right. Both done during the time I was teaching a summer cartooning class for high schoolers. Both now patiently await color.

I drew this during Graduation ceremonies on the back of a folder, still no color. Influenced I'm sure by this guy's art I've been admiring.

A Bella also drawn during the class.

And an Edward. Color with markers.

Derby Girls Bust-A-Move Bust

Our local Derby Girls have a charity event called Bust-A-Move, where they raise money for Breast Cancer research. The groups casts the torsos of breast cancer survivors and members of the Derby Girls. The casts are then given to local artists who create art on the casts. The artists then donate their work to the Girls for a silent auction where the proceeds go to fund the research.

 

This is actually Step 1.5, because I didn't snap a pic of the all blue bust. This is a white wash covered in an iridescent medium that makes it a little sparkly.

Step 2. A little more blue on top of the white, a little more washing. Light wash to block in where the figures are going to be: in this case Luchadoras on Roller Skates.

Step 3. Some more details on the figures. I keep color pretty washy and monochromatic for a long time when I paint. I pretty much suck at painting with color unless it's a VERY limited palette.

Step 4. Color done. Gots to dry so I can draw and ink in the lines with Brush and India Ink.

Step 5. Ink in the lines and done!

I Am Fercocious

Greetings! Jeremy here to shout about Ferocious, a new anthology of illustration and storytelling put together by local wunderkid Nate Utesch of Metavari and One Lucky Guitar.  It features images by an international roster of amazing artists, including a 6 page excerpt from my comic. This is quality, folks, pure and simple.http://fe.rocious.com/
