Congratulations, Dave! You just broke my page two cherry! Thanks for the kind words... I promise that you will see much more improvement after November, for now it's just trying to survive. I will add the EMW link in my sig shortly... it's exciting to get involved with such a talented group!

Just some practice for November 1st. Not to be vain, but I love self portraits... and to be vain I make an excellent subjuct matter!
And here are some ideas for COW: Trick or Treat!... unfortunately I drew most of these before I actually read the brief for the contest. The only creature that fits the guidelines is the evil house/dog with jack-o-bait.

Dave, I have all sorts of fun anatomical marvels (as you will soon find out).
Here's a few faces to add to the collection:

Cool variety of facial expression and head shape in this last batch.
You could push their range even further in terms of anger/anxiety etc.
With the way you handle faces I think the results would be interesting.
Keep up the fine work.
Cheers!

I just thought I would throw my SP here as well. The blue got really desaturated in the photo transfer, but here's the facial variety that you were looking for Helzon.

Thanks, Dave. I also did a small linoleum carving SP that night, but haven't had the time to make any prints with it. I'll post that soon, in the meantime here's some quick studies I did for my SP... I don't think any of them really look like me:

Connor...Now it's time to make some enviroments to go with all those character scketches. You need things to go around the people/things to ground them.

One word....Brilliant!
Great expressions in your sp connor. I agree with
Dave here on expanding the world these take place in to include
more of the enviro as well. I mean there's no need to jump straight into it..you can build to that point via a few pieces of furniture around a character, or what have you...and after time move into an entire fleshed out scene.
It's up to you ...but I think though that a bit of context wouldn't hurt.
Keep up the killer work.
Cheers!

@everyone: I agree 100%... I've been trying to force myself to do more bodies to go along with those faces, then will move to the furniture, then the room, the city, the world... I'll post some scans tomorrow.

Oddo, thanks! The actual paintings are much more blue, but it got desaturated under my yellow incandecent lights. I'll repost them after I have a second to get a better photo. Stay tuned.

Killer SB, you've got the expression stuff down. Personal fav. is vagina manI was impressed by the SP, but then I was like, where's more color stuff??? That would be awesome, as it seems you have the rudimentaskills. We're the EMW noobs so we have to stick together~* Great SB can't wait for more.

@Sartell: Yet another skill that I've let fall by the wayside over the years. I'll have some colors coming soon, along with the bodies and environments.
Speaking of which here's some recent sketches... I've tried to include some bodies, but everytime my hand moves it wants to draw a face.

Yeah, I've been out of the loop for a while with this move, here's the skinny:
I got down to LA and into my apartment last Saturday. The trip was pretty easy and my cats did alright... though my obese long-haired cat wedged himself behind my seat right where all of that lube/goo is for the seat sliders, so it's all up in his hair now. I've given him several "haircuts"... let's just say that I was not born to be a barber.
My apartment is tiny, as expected. I don't have a bed or couch right now, so I am using a friends inflatable mattress. I also don't have a fridge, which is putting a damper or keeping a cold beer in the house. Hopefully the fridge will be coming soon, and I'll get a bed when I can afford one and turn it into a murphy bed.
LA is pretty awesome, despite the fact that I have no money to explore. In my first five minutes here I was already approached to do a movie and played "undercover cop #1"... though I should say that it was just a movie my new neighbor was shooting with his camcorder.
I've got a couple of job prospects that should come to fruition soon, so I think that things will start really getting exciting in about a month.
On the art front, I've started painting the X-mas exchange gift for my gift buddy. I don't have the internet right now, and no good way to get my pictures from my home computer to the library to upload. You should see a big dump from me as soon as I get the internet connected.
Well, enough talk... back to work!

Hey bro, hope all is going well on your end and the internets got hooked up. Missing the hell out of your updates.

Thanks, Helzon... I sure do miss posting!
It's been a long battle with Time Warner to install a cable jack in my apartment so I can finally get back to the information super-highway. It used to be Comcast for cable here in LA, whom I was always very happy with, but this new Time Warner monstrosity is a nightmare. I'm hoping just a couple of more weeks, but will have to suffer these sad library computers until then. Don't worry, I'll return with gusto.

Aahhhh, the glory of the information super-highway! I feel like lawnmower man!
Unfortunately, I haven't been drawing too much since over the last few months, but I will be changing that and attending some life drawing sessions shortly. Thank's for keeping a candle lit for me... here's the same old crap I was churning out before:
I will post more soon as I get back into the swing of things.

It's been quite a while since posting here, but I miss the community and need a little motivation. LA is great, but I miss the old Seattle sketch meets... they were definitely a big factor in keeping me creative. I'll start off with a couple of sketches I've done recently and try to scan some new sketchbook favs soon. Looking forward to participating in more contests!
