odds & whatnot

A video "trailer" I did for Teshkeel comics (motion graphics by Lorenzo Campanis). It basically summarizes the backstory to their comic book and sets up the first issue. I had planned to cannibalize all the art from the comic book and set it up for a little animation to be added. But nothing can be so easy. Each shot in the video had to communicate multiple story points clearly, and be set up in such a way that a lot of action could be implied using very little animation. The panels in the comic weren't tailored for a video animatic of course. So in no time I talked myself into doing almost all new art.

I'm currently failing to finish the second trailer in the series.



On the same day I ran across some old art of mine on two different blogs.

One from someone I know (thanks Dan)...


...and one from someone I don't. Mine is the image of the pink-haired lady near the end of the post. Done as a pinup in the G.I.Joe book at Marvel many years ago. I can tell from the hair that I was in my phase of trying to draw like Larry Stroman would draw if he were much less talented.
