    Book Project - Update #7 - 06/24/03

    06/24/03
    "Eight Ball Monkey" is up! Sorry for the late update. I'm under the gun with all the sh*t that have to be done. I'm back to using Photoshop again and I had a lot of fun with this piece. Here is the link to the crop close up

    http://www.khangle.net/Book/EightBallMonkey_CU.jpg


    __________________________________________________ _______

    After doing various freelance jobs for a while now, I've been itching to start a personal project where I get to control the concept and the content of my images. So I decided to start a picture book project. It would be sort of like the Dinotopia series except the setting is sci-fi (of course!!!) .It might not be much of a story because I'm obviously not a writer.

    The story takes place within an urban city in a distant future. It will be about the experiences of a traveler and his journey through this city. The book format will be the compilation of the traveler's diary/sketchbook. There will be over 100 paintings and sketches of this imaginary place in the "diary". Short paragraphs will accompany the images to give meaning and hopefully suggest an underlying story to this journey.

    The reason for this lengthy introduction is because I need your help for me to finish it. Like most other artists, I get burst of inspiration to do a project then somewhere along the way, the juices run dry and it never gets done. I NEED a deadline and outside pressure to finish this book so that is where you come in. Please quote me on this :

    From now on, I will post at least one new image here bi-weekly on Monday.

    The only way I can finish this book is through guilt and shame

    These are great. I remember you working on these now. What's the story behind these drawings? It seems really interesting.

    thanks everyone...I'm actually thinking about chopping the first one up into two different paintings because it looks too busy the way it is now.

    endregan : I paint at around 3000-5000 pixel max so it should be fine for print.

    i.was.ink : I wish I knew I have a couple of ideas where the story goes but the emphasis will be experiences of a traveller through a foreign metropolis.

    great job on “ A THOUSAND FACES ”

    The painting of “ The Human World ” is excellent. Nice industrial feel to it. The lighting is great.

    :thumbsup:

    I still can't get over some of these. Such an inspiration.

    The Human world and Meyer the mechanic still leaves me staring blankly at the screen. Love the Thousand Faces as well. Looking forward for more.
