Character Concept

This is some concept work for a project I'm working on.

This is our heroin. Something of a Tomb Raider feel.  We have 

several cool characters planned. These are my efforts at a ten year

old girl.  The tool is Painter 11. I made the mistake of only making it 

100 dpi so there is not much opportunity for detail. 

BattleChick

 

I have story ideas for this one.The girl that finds her mother instinct and can get downright mean. This also was a recent exercise with color pencils. 

Man and Machine

I finished the guys then couldn't 

decide on a background. It was either 

this or a pile of destroyed enemies.

Ink over color pencils

I wanted to see how well ink applied to color pencils

Wicker Chair in Pencil

Kerrie & I went to Bend for our anniversary and there was this chair in our room. I thought wow, that would be pretty hard to draw with all the wicker stuff on it. It took me way too long to do it but turned out pretty good. 

The Asteroid by me

This will be all for tonight. I put this together for the asteroid short Jen and I started. I have not settled on a title yet but we have some fun ideas for it. This is the piece I will submit to zudacomics. I'm about 60% finished with the whole thing. I'm shooting for a little playful on the character style but realistic on the mechinery. Here's the site.

Artiface Inks

This is the first page of a story that my sister Jen Mortimore wrote a year or so ago. She let me use it to see if we could adapt it for comic use. So far it has turned out well. As I finish up the following pages I'll post them. I have only penciled three and she has only written eight, so for now it'll be short.

Cockpit

I thought I'd throw this cockpit shot in. I used a couple pretty small sizes of Microns in this. I'm amazed at how fine some of the lines are. It's probably not something you typically find in comics. I am, however not altogether happy with how the guys head is...sized. I'm threathening to reink it to my satisfaction.
