SketchUp aid for the heck of it

I thought the bard piece was a gentle poke at cosplayers.
Setting was described as 'a small town.'
Just the wrong century in my mind.
Communication.


The one of the Bard on stage reminds me of doing art for computer edge back in San Diego, Blue Sky days.

SCIFI

This made me think of the sci fi paperback illustrator that depicted eyeballs on a gargantuan scale. He was big in the 60s.
I'll find an example of who I'm thinking of and add images to the thread. .
Mine needs some drama contrast.

Sketchup as a visual aid.



I'm dabbling with sketchup. Getting medium competent with it. A great FREE tool. But what I like most, vs doing the actual modeling, is importing useful things I don't want to model. Cars for instance. Also, the little standees, always facing the camera, are better than perspective for scale.
The bottom one is afterthought edits I'll never do to the original. Might drop them in on photoshop layers.
I've decide 50mm is probably the best all purpose lens.

Below-from the sketchup warehouse- Wayne Manor. From a search for room interiors. I'm getting an itch to start setting up quickly realized previz for a comic project.

Maybe the only one this month- I hope

I've got other enthusiasms this month. 
Once I get this one done, hopefully that's it for the freelance for July.
Got a way to go on this.
It's not your imagination. 
I've replaced the color version twice with newly edited versions.
Got another one. With characters that will resemble these.
Danuki, humanoid racoon dog creatures.
I am tempted to just continue painting into this rough.
Cleaned it up for painting into.

Finished.
I changed it.
Changes were accepted.
Next time, something more like this.

She Hulk given the freeform pen treatment

Can't have too much Kirby Crackle.
crab-bot. Checking out a brush with just a touch of thick thin.
Mysterious Island frame trace.
Thing sections made easy.

freeform pen tool



I think I'll do a quick strip where all the roughs are on the whiteboard, then I finish with this graphic style in photoshop.
I have a cowboy story in mind. A cowpoke that is haunted by an Indian he killed with his own war knife. That's just a detail, not the story. The Indian ghost being a pain when he pops up. Landis' Werewolf movie having a similar gimmick.
