Here we go.  A first time for everything, eh?

i drew this a while ago and just now got the scanner working again...here ay go. sarah, jay, YOUR TURN!

Bebop!

I almost did a Cowboy "Bebop" just to be a jerk... but I didn't have time so I drew a quick TMNT Bebop and was a team player.

-Brandon!

Ugly Bebop

Ok, I did an ugly Bebop from TMNT. Your turn.

Tank Girl - Sara

I'm not super happy with this but considering time, and that it's my second attempt, it will have to do.

Tyler's Tank Girl

So, this is my Tank Girl. I did it super quick - just wanted to have fun with it because she is cool. Sara actually did hers before me but she's not home to post it. Nah-nah.

Tank Girl by Brandon!

I drew her too pretty and manga-y but that's just how I roll!

Follow the leader...let's do this

let's play a game...



here's the way it works real plain and simple. the leader (this time me)draws whatever the heck they want...(in this case...a sloppy grey tank girl) and then everyone does their own version of said subject. after we're all done, the first person to post something new is the new leader. alright? alright...

now let's get going!

Hightide doodles?

So, since we don't have a project at the moment, I thought I'd suggest one - in the future I plan on putting together a Hightide promotional booklet thingy, probably with some writing, some pages and some pinups, too. I was thinking about having a section of featured artists doodles/sketches of Hightide and wondered if you guys would be interested in doing that in any way shape or fashion you can think of. It doesn't have to be comic bookish at all, really, just entertaining and suitable for all ages.

Jacot's Logo Concept

Alright well looks like I'm the last one to this party... Or am I just making a big enterance?


Aw, hell... who cares. Thought I'd share my logo concept, I'm still working on a project that has a tight deadline... Hence why this concept is only inked. Color version should come by the end of next week.


So here we go, without further ado (except this and the previous statement about there not being any "further ado") I present my concept for Ready Set Draw

If you wanna see a larger version just click the image it will open in a new window. So what do you think...


Questions?


Suggestions?


A complete lack of interest?


Don't be afraid to comment, we want to here what you say. We're not just a bunch of pretty faces creating great art... we also randomly break out into song and dance numbers.


Well maybe not so much that last part...


-Jacot

Sara's Banner Two

This is the second one I did. Again pencil scan with Photoshop color. I was doing a doodle and I thought that this might be even better for the banner idea. It's a machine that's by-product is our title with a bit of steam punk feel. Enjoy!

Tyler's Banners

I did two, so I though I would post them both.

Sara's Banner One

This is the first banner I worked on. I have tried to post this 5 times now. It's vaguely race themed, with the starting pistol and checkers. It's a pencil drawing colored in Photoshop.

ready set draw logo

here ya go...i still don't have a working scanner, maybe i can sell enough art to buy one soon. this is a new twist on an idea i had years ago that never turned into the banner.

Breathing life into this old girl yet again...

Hopefully this'll stick for a bit. I've got some good company so Hopefully we can kick each others asses enough that this little blog becomes an awesome creation station.

This is going to be some good old fashioned art fun, and maybe lean towards the comic side of things so it'll be different for me.

FIRST UP!
We're going to try to give this blog a redesign so we're going to need a new logo or banner...So that's exactly what we're going to draw.

WHOOHOOOO introductions later, after the art!

Challenge #10

Wow, ten already.

This will be a little flouncy and a little fun. October is my favourite month and it houses my fav holiday of all time, so this challenge will be MONSTER PARTY!

Now this isn't a complete free for all. I don't want this to be concept art or a portrait. This is going to be full page illustration of monsters having a party.
These can be monsters that you make up yourself or the classics we all know and love.

ok specs
-full colour or grey scale with one spot colour
-8x10 landscape or portrait orientation
-this must have a background
-at least 3 monsters to make a party

Due on Halloween

(so you might want to get this done early with parties going on)

Back to school

something about uniforms and individuality


new topic tomorrow!

Challenge #9

A day late and a dollar short, sorry for the delay...my internet has been wonky

BACK TO SCHOOL

This phrase surrounds us now. In commercials, in the paper and damn near every store you walk into has some noise about back to school. Whether it's a blowout clothing sale or the smell of a freshly sharpened pencil this time of year has a feeling that is hard to ignore. Having just finished my education this phrase stings just a little because it is the oddest thing in the world for it to be September and for me to not be living in a tiny room in Canada and fighting my alarm clock every morning before class.

Bringing us to our challenge for the month. Pretend you are doing and illustration for a magazine/newspaper/website and the article has the theme of "back to school" this could be about gradeschool up to university, the choice is yours. If you can find a real article to do an illustration for...GREAT! If not just try and give us the jist of what kind of article your illo is aimed towards (example: kindergardner's facing the pressures of the first day of school)

The Illustration will be full colour and occupy half of the page. For the sake of guidelines let's say it has be horizontal orientation 5x7. This can be design driven or done with traditional media and should be editorial and slightly narrative.

you have about a month

To Recap:
Subject-illustration for Back to School article
Full Colour
5x7 landscape format

Due: Oct 1st

sharpen those pencils, get thos gross chunky pink erasers and get drawing!

the Maxx covered

A bit more literal than I would have liked...but I also really love this cover...so striking. Sam Keith...he kinda rocks a lot




NEW TOPIC UP LATER TODAY!

X-Men #24

Taking a medium print out and translating it to an 11x17 page, then comparing the final work to the original, I can already see where I went wrong. Angles, color scheme, sizing, but...who cares? I don't care. /Steve Brule

It ain't perfect, but it's rock n' roll.
