Just Doing Some More Character Sketches For My Thing What I Do.

Just doing some more character sketches for my thing what I do.

First one is Kit Renard, police detective. The second is Leonid King, borked-up hipster and killer what she's throwing in the clink.

I made a ton of progress, but I lost my daylight. The deadline for the big print is the 22nd, so for the size, my collaborator and I are cutting it close.

My friend iopichio wanted a sketchdump of some of my project sketches, so here it is. 1. Aestus Firebringer and the Red Thief. A faint Weirdo. 2. The Red Thief. 3 and 4. The Moon Snake and the Prince of the Sun. 5. Aestus Firebringer. 6. A Stellinian Lamplighter.

Part 2 of my sketchdump for iopichio. 1. Eyeball imp. 2. Aesthetic collage experiments. 3. The Wheel of the Sky, moon. 4. Cyclops monster. 5. Various monster sketches. 6. My attempts to work on a design for Leonid King. I have yet to find what I am looking for.

Inktober consolation prize. These are what I am working on building right now, out of plaster and wood and god knows what else.

I found that as an art challenge, Inktober doesn’t totally work for me. I do most of my work in ink as it is, so it simply becomes “Draw a random thing-tober.” That becomes too easy to drop when I’ve got other art stuff going on. Perhaps I will encourage the creation of Mixed Media-vember or something. 

I have finally been moderately successful developing some good old analogue film. I have around 600 cameras; I feel as though I ought to use them.

The first three are Kentmere 100 35mm film in a Pentax Program Plus SLR. The last one is Shanghai GP3 120 film in a Yashica-Mat 124g. All of them are developed in Caffenol C-M and fixed with Ilford Rapid Fixer.
