Kunark Goblin

This one was done from scratch, but it's of an old EQ character that I'm particularly fond of.  I did a little sculpture of him, too, a few years back.  This is pretty much the same pose as the statue.

Quicktime Video Capture - Kinda excited by this-Dan Clowes article added for Marty

Marty- I'm finally equipped to feed 

Carlo art lessons.

It's funny because I had heard about quicktime's new screen/video capture. So right off the bat I bought quicktime pro for the new computer.

The video capture is not part of Pro, It came with the regular utility app of quicktime.

Pretty dang cool.

Now if I only had photoshop on the new box.

Don't press buttons.

Giant!

This is a piece of concept art I did a couple of years ago at work that I decided to go back in and tinker with.

Rough Cut- I'll post the finish here as well

Gotta a lot of work yet. Wish I had shot a lot different. But I think I can make it work.

The last rough Cut before it gets After Effects spruce up.
Should be about this length. Cuts will be tidied. I'm cutting with Quicktime Pro which does a good job but has a micro glitch problem.

All finished. Shot yesterday. All edited and finished and on youtube the next day.
I want to do more.
I need better this-and-that if I want polish.
Not bad for what it is.

Ugly bits of this and that

Really digging the new macmini. BUT, I can't install photoshop CS2 on it. Agony

Preview shows this pencil art as being completely washed out. I adjusted it inside preview and it looks  too dark on the blog.

Scott Sackett is taking the picture. This is how the Better Than Fiction podcsats are done. Sitting around talking with an ipad recording sound in the middle of the table.
This will be the crew, plus Count Gregore / John Ferguson- that will be shooting my mini horror story tomorrow. We're all raring to go.

Our little shoot went fine. I should have something to show you on youtube in the next day or two.

Bad Lip Synch- Redneck Avengers 

Bonus Pinto

Drew this at a Coco's in Riverside this morning and took a photo of it with my phone to get it into the computer.... For the Firebird article. Hope it gets in....

Dudes, bug thanks for all the kind words and good suggestions on the previous piece. Now I'm fired up to make some more illustrations!!

Firebird Men

My pal Peet has written a few stories for Autoweek over the last few years, and for Father's Day this year he's submitted a little opus about the time his dad came home with a brand new Firebird...but sans the famous flaming chicken on the hood. Which struck 9 year old Peet as profoundly tragic. And 36 years later, worthy of comment.

UPDATED: redrew the hoods by hand, fine-tuned some stuff. Love to have done the whole thing on a gesso'ed board...Tommy, I'm striving to hit my Fuch'ing Peak, indeed!

Hercules, Samson and Ulysses!

How could it get any better?

 Even better!
