The Boy Who Was Eaten by a Monster

This is my book. The images didn't turn out as good as I wanted them too as I did not have access to the proper tools but I think it turned out fine. I want to keep working on it just because I like the story.

Monster Sketch

This is a sketch of the monster from one of my earlier post. I did it in pencil but finished it with red and black ink.

Pop 4 Props

This is an image I made for my brother out of images of him skating. At first I just made that image that looks like graffiti but then I had the idea to embed it into another image. On the second image, I wanted to get into the skateboarding mindset, so I blacked almost everything out except for the sky and highlighted the lines on the ramps and slopes of the skatepark. The idea is that the skater is totally focused on just skating and isn't thinking about anything else. I also made it so that you can't see my brother in the air but you can see him in the graffiti, with the metaphor being that he is part of the skatepark or vice versa.

Book in progress...

This image is for an idea I have for that book thing were supposed to make. The book is gonna be about a kid that gets eaten by a monster. Don't worry it won't be as gruesome as it sounds. That monster doesn't look too scary.

NINJA

I was stoked for that movie Ninja Assassin and decided to draw a ninja picture. After much thought, I decided to go with a ninja cutting someone in half. I tried to put in a lot of detail while maintaining a comic book feel. I also wanted to demonstrate some strong perspective. It kind of looks like a Frank Miller drawing (he probably would have made a better Ninja Assassin movie). My favorite part is the hair on the guy getting cut in half.

The Trumpet

I think I was in a trance or something when I made this. I was tired and wanted to sketch something but didn't know what. I forced my hand to keep moving and ended up with a weird shape that looked like someone playing a wind instrument. At some point I regained consciousness and decided to play with the colors and fix some of the lines. This took about 10 minutes.

Dragon Sketch

I wanted to mess around with the BG color as well as the ink color. I decided to sketch a dragon. Its nothing fancy but i like the pose.

Paper Crook

This is my design for the Cubeecraft thing. I made it so that it would be backwards so that the arms looked like they were pointing the other way. Then, to fit the pose, I created a robber type dude with handcuffs on.

JA! Rastafarianism

I made this in about 10 minutes. I guess I was feeling "Irie I." Actually, I just wanted to play with the color mixer and felt that red, yellow, and green would be good to mess with. First I split up the screen with the three colors. Then I got a picture of Bob and another picture of a lion. I positioned them to where I liked and messed with the opacity so that the two images became one. After all that i began selecting parts of the image within the different sections of color and messed with hue and color balance to get the image the right color. I repeated that step until it looked nice then I moved the original red, yellow and green blocks over the now colored image and messed with the opacity again. Ja
