FUCK 'N' A YEA!

Yea I'm telling everyone, it's my fucking birthday biatches. I'm now in a 3rd decade on the tenth ring of the inferno. I have a hang over.

It'd be nice to do some drawing but I don't think it's gonna happen today.

-Hunter

Slowly. Very slowly. The damn thing's so big it doesn't fit on my scanner.
Anyways, here's a lil' sumthin, sumthin, trying to clear the cobwebs from my head.

sorta. I'll post w/ page 5 so that people who are expecting to get a preview in their hands aren't cheated. So this is the latest I've done, don't be a dick and give us some crits eh?
















-Hunter

I have no clue what I'll call this livejournal, I want to make it mostly a sketch/artblog.

So, the latest?

We had our daughter, cute lil' thing.

We got married.

And I just finished pen and inking, and crappy lettering still my latest page:

It's page 18 from Ian Harker's Doppleganger no. 4, a type of choose your own adventure w/ different artists taking a page so that you get a massive load of variety. I got really excited about this project when I realized how much of a challenge it would be to complete it. Here's the black and white, a color version to be completed soon by my boy Erick Cruz, a.k.a Batfan.

Check it:


It's a shitty scan, but I promise you the real deal is fucking crisp Gianormous.

Peace.
-Hunter

I took a break from the Middleman stuff, to mess w/ a couple of concepts for my Zeeker comic.

So here's the letters "D" for Drillbug and the letters J for Jack and K for kicker.

But I often do and find myself in a stalemate position.

I switched to sketching The Middleman himself, but man, I suck at the lower half of the body!

Err, wait, that sounded gay.


Hands and feet too! I'm starting to wig myself out w/ this stuff, so I think I just need to step back, take a breath, simplify and jump into the actual pages themselves and just work it out on there rather than endless sketches.

I've been told about my line weights before, but I still don't know how to pull that off w/ ink pens. And I think it's sorta retarded to try and pick up a brush one week away from a deadline.

We'll see what happens.







They look like hooved monkeys don't they?

-Hunter

Sometimes it takes me awhile to get the look down to established characters. I used microns for these sketches, and a bold brush pen, it's been a looong time since i've inked anything much less used microns. They bleed on the shitty sketch pad I've got. I might work on a few more characters other than Sensei Ping here, i'm a little burnt out on him anyways.

Then I'll work on more thumbnails and hopefully get to layout the pages and pin up tonite. I'm running out of time, what's the deadline? Like next week?

Sheeshit!

Ok, so I'm thinking of trying to enter the contest over at viper comics in the Middleman forum.

So, I'm a fan of The Middleman comic by Les and Javi, I'm a fan of their work individually as well as collectively and damn if I'm not a fan of comics and wanting to work in that field somewhere, somehow.

I'm not sure if that'll ever happen but I figured I'd try out a few sketches of the characters to see if I could even nail anything down. The deadline is reaaaal tight, so there's that to consider as well as drawing ability.

Here's the first of what I hope will be more sketches of the Middleman characters

Starting w/ the one I find visually most appealing Sensei Ping!




A close up from a looking down angle, he might be too big/buff right now.







Trying to get the look of him down still, figured a comedic moment might help. Or not.



and last:





Sensei Ping punishing action poses! Wether or not the villains or you the readers are the one being punished for having to scope out the crappy drawings is open however.

Kung fu moves are not easy!

I'll try and post more tonite.

-Hunter

Following some bad news about being jobless, which I'll relate more on some time in the future when I'm done being too pissed off, I finally have started working on getting my stuff at a website and online. The first is the mini comic i did some time ago w/ all the pages on there. Take a look around tell me what you think, or what can be worked on? I'm new at this shit so I'm still trying to figure out all the features.

So, tomorrow I turn 29, yes kiddies it's my b-day yet again, come around for another year almost at the end.

and me and my girl are pregnant, so weep for the world cause I'm breeding, hahahahahahahah!

and I've gained weight since being domesticated. I'm gonna give myself an early birthday present. I'm going to sit down at my old art desk i've had since I was 15 and draw.

I may or may not post the results, who knows, but you never know, you know?

-Hunter

cause i already worn out my fucking shoes.

It's been so long since i updated this thing, i damn forgot my password and had to get a new one.

So, I'm gonna try to attempt to update on Saturdays from now on.

Here's the first...

I have no idea what the fuck's going on w/ anyone anywhere, so apologies, it'll take me some time to catch up and it occurred to me that I don't have most of you on mywaste, i mean myspace, so yea, I'll be back w/ some updates soon!

so, here's some shit to remind you..

I need to start organizing my shit and get to packing...but damn, I'm just not into it.
