Today's comic page is a gift for my bestest friend, Amanda.  I'll be giving it to her as soon as I see her next, but I'm considering it an early wedding gift.  Congratulations to Matt and Amanda for being an awesome couple!  I hope you like the spooky story page I put you in.

Street View

Aaand we're back to environments!  This shot, as other Savannahians might recognize, is a view of Murphy's that has been acclimated for the comics page.  From working on this, I've learned that the key to making a space believable is 1) perspective.  Learn it.  Learn everything you possibly can from perspective, no matter how boring it is when you're just starting. 2)  Add more shit!  The more things you add to a space, the more "lived in" it feels.  Get as many wires, drains, pipes, lamps, signs, and other details that are necessary for buildings in a shot as you can.  Big blank walls are uninviting and make even something that is right in perspective look wrong.  (Check out the building on the back right to see what I mean.  That definitely needs some texture and wires and things.)

Hipster Hideout

Some of you might remember my Hipster Heroes, and this is the basement hideout I concocted for them.  Notice all the stolen art supplies and books.  Dead giveaway.  I really liked working on this project, but I had difficulty deciding how to light it.  I think the strong light doesn't come off quite right and could benefit from coloring, but I just love all the little grimy touches.  There is nothing more fun than rickety, run-down, or just plain dirty spaces to draw.

P.S.  Sorry for the late update, it is midterms right now.  So... sleeping and extra activities are on pause.

This was made for my character design and storyboarding for animation class.  This is meant to be panned across from left to right.  All kinds of people on this bar-hopping adventure!  I like the little gangstas all the way in the back.  :D
