This one was short enough that YouTube felt dumb, so I’ve changed it to an animated GIF.

Here’s something I started working on a couple days ago. Tonight I’ll do color, so I’ll post another file when that’s finished. Hope you like it; a print will be made available when the color is complete.

Here’s something I worked up last night from my sketchbook. It’s a character I’ve drawn from time to time since college. Digital ink and color with Gimp 2.4.4.

Here’s something I did back in 2005, but I still like it for the most part. Back then I was using Open Canvas instead of Gimp, and a little Photoshop on the side. These days I only use Gimp.

Proud areas for me are the hands and the contact between the generalized hand and the boot, the twist of the torso, and the paint application. Unfortunate areas include the collar and what it does to the attachment between torso and head, and also the aggressive highlight on that dumb ear. I wish I hadn’t done it like that.

The palette is neat to me; it’s a strange combination of my usually separate rustic, earthy hues and my florescent 90s go go boy colors.
