Thumbs Up

2011-11-18T10:42:00.000-05:00

Whatever it is you have to do today. This guy approves.

The Green Lantern

2011-11-17T14:47:00.000-05:00

The very flamboyant Green Lantern in this case!
This, like all of my latter posts has been done in TVPaint.

Bat-shit Crazy

2011-07-19T20:32:00.000-04:00

whole lotta batman related posts seem to be happening here on my blog.. not complaining though since I'm enjoying myself with it.

Guys with Pencils

2011-07-19T02:14:00.000-04:00

I had quite the pleasure to hang with friends of mine Andrew Murray, and Adam Hines for their latest episode of Guys with Pencils

Anywho, during the interview I mention a certain gouache painting in the making, and this just so happens to be the one I spoke of. Until tonight the sketches have only been on paper, so this is the first rough draft digitally. I'll probably change their sizes to proper scale tomorrow and polish off batman as well.

I'm... Batman!

2011-07-06T12:19:00.000-04:00

Just a quick doodle done this morning before good ole' work commences.

Deadly Head

2011-03-31T15:22:00.000-04:00

Here's a rough character design accompanied with a rough character turn around for a short film based off a story I came up with last year when I began my 4th year at Sheridan College.

Untitled from Chris Thompson on Vimeo.

M is for....

2011-03-31T00:03:00.000-04:00

MONKEY!
my girlfriend bought her dog a stuffed monkey last night, and today just before I headed off to work I did a quick little sketch of it while it sat on the couch... alone.. waiting for it's daily raping.

Toats McGoats

2011-03-06T04:05:00.002-05:00

Did a random drawing of a hipster mascot who goes by the name of "Toats McGoats.

1950's Fashion

2011-03-06T01:40:00.002-05:00

My girlfriend of 1 year (tomorrow) is a big fan of fashion from the 1950's so I put together this fashion Illustration tonight as a wee gift for her.

George Harrison

2011-03-02T01:16:00.002-05:00

I've been watching a fair bit of Monty Python these days and it reminded me that without the amazing musician George Harrison, the very amusing / awesome-o Life of Brian probably wouldn't have been produced seeing George help fund the movie big time. This reminder resulted in me creating this drawing of George Harrison.

Chi

2011-02-07T16:37:00.002-05:00

This is a sketch I did just now of my girlfriends dog named Chi. She's a big fan of her toy newspaper so I figured I'd do an old school looking portrait of her with that beloved news of hers.

The Adventures of Lauren

2011-01-31T03:54:00.002-05:00

Just did this fun sketch (while listening to some awesome-o David Gilmour) of my girlfriend Lauren as a child dressed up and ready to go travel the world.

First Viking Family to settle in L'Anse aux Meadows

2010-10-13T14:09:00.003-04:00

Just a quick sketch for the day of the viking from my previous post with his loving family in their new home.

Note. Updated this post with an updated version of the previous sketch. As you can see, they're a very happy family and thoroughly enjoying their family photo shoot.

Return of the Viking!

2010-10-12T17:10:00.002-04:00

Many months ago leading back to this time last year, my 4th year film was going to be about a viking and a bothersome child. Anywhoooo, that never happened, but there's been a sticky note on my monitor of the original designs for the viking / child taunting me every day. Today being one of my days off this week, I decided to play around with the viking design in TVPaint and came up with the following image.

I'm Back BABY

2010-08-25T02:40:00.003-04:00

After a good month or so of not having a computer operating due to a hard drive not wanting to work I finally fixed the issue today aaaaand to celebrate I did some sketches in TV Paint. Enjoy!

Digital Paintings

2010-04-14T16:25:00.003-04:00

Here's a new digi painting finished a couple days ago.

This next batch is some of the bg's I worked on last year from my group film "Just Desserts"

Aaaaand this last batch is bg's I'm currently working on done in a style quite foreign to me.

Good Morning Neverland!

2010-04-10T15:14:00.002-04:00

A little Neverland painting action in gouache

quickie warm up

2010-03-23T17:08:00.001-04:00

just as the title says.. a little quickie warm up type sketch

Some doodles for the day

2010-03-21T19:24:00.002-04:00

... yaaa... more procrastination on the film results in me just doing more non film related type drawings.

Dog Dealer

2010-03-18T00:39:00.001-04:00

Just a doodle I did tonight rather then work on my film.

Pew Pew

2010-01-26T02:36:00.003-05:00

Gotchaaaaa...

uhhh.. so even though I already started animating the above character for my film I only just now figured out his overall design. I think.. to be honest this is god knows what version of this poor fella.. he's gone through many many many designs to say the least.

The 8th man on the MOON

2010-01-20T22:42:00.001-05:00

Better known as Bing Gordon. Hell of a guy really.

Doodles

2010-01-06T12:53:00.002-05:00

Just some random doodles of which includes a drawing of one my dogs back here in St. John's

Merry Christmas!

2009-12-24T22:18:00.001-05:00

and all that other jazz.

Hope your day turns out better then the poor ginger bread man in this doodle of mine.

Tango BG's

2009-12-10T00:01:00.002-05:00

These are some rough thumbnail versions of the bg's for my film titled "Tango"
more to come this weekend along with my leica reel.

Final Life Drawing Portfolio

2009-12-08T13:30:00.003-05:00

Sooo.. had to hand in my final life drawing portfolio today and ended up using pastels for the first time in a couple years. Somewhat of a risky idea seeing how I was short 5 drawings and went with a medium that I haven't used in quite some time. Anywho, here's a couple of the drawings that I did today that made it into zee portfolio.

Film / Winter Fair / Lectures / Sketches

2009-12-08T02:52:00.007-05:00

So... here's a real motherload of a sketch dump. Enjoy!

Film Related Stuff (painted BG's coming real damn soon)

Random Doodles -

Cafe Drawings @ Oakville Place

2 pages of notes from 2 different lectures at good ole Sheridan.

One day was useful, but the other.. well... not that great.. at all.

Royal Winter Fair 09'

Life Drawing in December

2009-12-01T15:53:00.003-05:00

These are a handful of the life drawings that I did today in class.

Enjoy.. or not

Film Concept

2009-10-13T03:35:00.002-04:00

After finally boarding out the ending to my film (currently going by the name of "Tango" ) I decided to celebrate by creating a digital painting of one of my main characters.

Design style for my film.

2009-10-11T11:43:00.002-04:00

These are some basic designs I did for my 4th year film which involves two cowboys that go to many places around the world.

Life Drawings of the day

2009-09-20T15:20:00.003-04:00

Decided that I'd go to extra life today seeing how it tends to be a bit less chaotic when finding a spot in the life drawing studio on weekends thus resulting in a more relaxing and enjoyable time. The first two images are 1 minute studies and the 3rd / last image is 2 minute studies.

On another note I should have some concept art to throw up on here later in the week regarding my short film.

Self Portrait

2009-07-08T05:02:00.002-04:00

On a total whim I ended up creating a self portrait of myself.

4th year film

2009-07-06T03:36:00.002-04:00

Well.. after many months now and starting to lose faith in myself with regards to coming up with a film that's short, sweet, and to the point. To my surprise though, something finally started to come together for me as of today.. Even though the idea sparked from a situation I was in the other day when trying to get back to my car before what looked to be a massive thunder storm in the makings, my film has nothing to do with racing storms.

Really not sure what the setting will be, but it could be post apocalyptic, and will most likely start off in a mountain valley. Nothing concrete though since again, I only came up with this idea today. I'll get more into detail a little later on when I have more to show.. But for now I have what looks to be the main character.

He actually started off an old innocent cripple of a man.. But throughout the day he evolved into this.. in fact I wasn't even trying to come up with a design for him either, I was trying to figure out what the secondary character (a robot) would look like. There may also be a third character which will be a little girl, but I'm beginning to think she won't be necessary. SO.. probably just this guy, and a robot.

Happy Fathers Day!

2009-06-21T06:44:00.002-04:00

As for the rest of you.. I've got nothing.

Hyenas and Lions!

2009-06-17T05:55:00.003-04:00

I was watching a documentary on this one group of lions who hunt one herd of Buffalo, and only that herd all year long. Although on this one page that I scanned there isn't any drawings of Buffalo to be found.. but there are a couple drawings of Hyenas that showed up in one little section of the documentary. After watching the documentary it's made me want to check out the Denver Zoo that much more, which will probably happen next week at some point. I also have a page of doodles from when I was watching an episode of Conan too.

OMG a Dog

2009-06-15T22:16:00.002-04:00

or 4... umm I've been using 50% grey and black markers a lot as of lately since that's what I've been having to use for the past 3 weeks for my co-op. SOOO it only made sense to try using them on my own time too. This is the result of my first time using markers for gestural type drawings.

I just "disappear"

2009-03-16T16:05:00.004-04:00

These are some sketches and a painting of my main character and the women that he gets involved with for my 4th year film that is currently titled "the magician"
Wont get into details about the story, but I pitched it to my classmates last week and they all seemed to like the idea.

I'm Still Alive

2009-02-28T02:07:00.002-05:00

It's true! Really don't have anything to post other then work related to the film of which I don't plan on posting till after it's completed in a months time. The main reason why I'm even making this post is because of the video I'm about to show which is incredibly funny due to how sad and true this guy is.. (no idea who he is)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoGYx35ypus

and uh.. a life drawing from last night since.

Very Very Very Rough Color Study / Layout

2009-02-03T01:40:00.002-05:00

Just a rough color study and layout that I'm currently working on. Finished results should be available in the near future.

2 Month Drought

2009-01-31T13:31:00.002-05:00

These are some life drawings of mine from earlier this week for the first time in 2 months along with a page of cafe drawings from.. well.. two months ago.

Good is DUMB

2009-01-31T03:06:00.004-05:00

This is my first lip sync done in 3d. whoaaaa..

For those of you that don't know. This clip is from Spaceballs.

One Wild Saturday Night

2009-01-25T22:08:00.003-05:00

Title says it all.
Spent my Saturday night doing some test animation of my groups main character Russel for the short film we're currently working on. For the first time in over 2 years I think I actually enjoyed animating and put forth a lot more effort toward it then I normally do. I was hoping to put up a test animation of him jumping tonight as well but after going to "tweak" a few frames I ended up completely redoing it and still have some issues, so that wont be added till tomorrow. So in the meantime, here's Russel walking the opposite direction of forwards.

High Rise Get-Away

2009-01-22T23:43:00.002-05:00

This painting is based off of a layout I did last year. While I was painting it though I made some pretty major changes to the home sitting on top of the mountain. Regardless I loathe whomever it is that has chosen to live atop this mountain to get away from everyday life.

Tropical Get-Away

2009-01-21T00:27:00.002-05:00

So today I tackled a painting of a tropical type like island. I've never really painted water before so it was interesting to play around with it and made for a nice learning curve. I feel as though this is a step up from my previous painting but still plenty to learn. Anyways, on with the show.

Digi Painting

2009-01-19T00:19:00.003-05:00

I would probably consider this my first real effort toward digital painting, everything else before this has more so been me playing around with different brush settings. That being said there's still plenty for me to learn. I've also added some mini concept sketches n' such to go along with the final painting.

*made a minor edit to the main image. Turns out it was blindingly bright when viewing the image afterward on my monitor rather then my Cintiq.*

Happy New Year

2009-01-04T00:15:00.004-05:00

and now for my first post of 2009.. also the first time since the break that I've tried creating a bit o art work. Although it's not my fault for slacking so much since I recently had back surgery which i can see being a huge pain in the ass once school starts up again since I still have over 3 months of recovery to go :S Anyways, now for the painting.

an animation post?

2008-12-15T16:06:00.006-05:00

zomg!!!! i think this is the first time i have ever posted animation up on here. After changing my AA story a million times. What you're about to see was done over the period of 1 and a half days with sleep and mario kart thrown in there too. I had some major technical difficulties with my coloring process this morning though so it's not looking as clean as it should sooo I'm gonna have to tackle this again at some point in time once I'm semi recovered from some fun loving back surgery tomorrow morning.

Hella rushed everything

2008-12-14T23:50:00.002-05:00

Well here's an incredibly rushed layout that I just did for my incredibly rushed AA animation of which I only started working on yesterday.. luckily the animation works so now I just have to color it and then make a new lecia reel before 9am.. nothing like getting everything done at the last minute..

Digi Painting Quickie

2008-11-29T02:16:00.002-05:00

This is a really quick painting I did tonight after seeing Bolt for the second time now.. if you haven't seen it yet then you should probably go give it a look see.

Anyways, now for the painting.

Cooking Blog!

2008-11-24T02:37:00.002-05:00

yuuup so I've started up another blog that'll exhibit meals created by me. Every time I cook something new I always take a picture of it, so I figured may as well put them up on a blog for everybody else to see. I think I'll start to show the process as well if anybody sparks an interest toward this new blog of mine.

Anywho, my cooking blog can be found at http://cookingwithmrchrist.blogspot.com

Hi, I'm Chris and change my mind every other minute.

2008-11-21T18:05:00.003-05:00

Yup, sounds about right, this a new character that I came up with last night at the last minute for my AA that has now changed for the 5th time.

Final Layout for AA

2008-11-18T02:19:00.003-05:00

I swear.. totally keeping this one.. I started it off trying to pull off the Samurai Jack bg style but I failed on epic proportions so I ended up just going with a style I'm used to.

ps. just looking at it a bit more and there's a fair bit that I want to change with regards to the lighting soooOOO lets just pretend this is my first version of my final AA layout.

Life Drawings

2008-11-09T17:44:00.003-05:00

Just a couple drawings from today. Ever since last year when there seemed to be a massive increase of people going to life drawing, I basically stopped going. Although I have as of last week made it a habit to start going again on the weekend when things are calmer and more relaxed.

More Charictures. woo!

2008-11-09T00:30:00.001-05:00

Charicture

2008-11-08T02:15:00.002-05:00

AA Char

2008-11-06T21:34:00.003-05:00

Soooo changed my story (3rd time now) for an action analysis assignment that's due and the end of the semester. As I'm sure, any of you reading this at the moment and know me personally are probably not surprised that I've changed my story yet again. Not to worry though, still using the same layout from my previous story. Anywhooo this is a poor little squirrel who just wants a bit of fruit. (secondary character that I came up with tonight)

House on a hill

2008-11-02T03:08:00.002-05:00

This is a little digital painting that I just did to play around with creating texture seeing how everything I've done thus far with regards to digital painting really doesn't have any.

New Layouts / Beats

2008-10-16T04:24:00.005-04:00

These are a couple beats and a concept layout for group film this year.

Also, I've added the layout for my original action analysis, but due to a complete overhaul I now have something very different which is the one with a quick tonal (in photoshop) thrown on there. (more to come of this in the near future)

Life Drawring?

2008-09-21T16:23:00.001-04:00

This is some cafe drawings and a life drawing all from this week.

Contraty to belief

2008-08-29T09:02:00.003-04:00

Getting jacked up on roids, throwing on spandex clothing, and drinking red bull will not give you super hero powers.. or wings for that matter.

what would...

2008-08-25T18:08:00.002-04:00

the offspring of batman and pacman look like? well I came up with a conclusion of just that today. enjoy!

I'm sorry. I'm not familiar with Shushi.

2008-08-21T20:16:00.002-04:00

I did this digi painting just now from a sketch I created earlier today of which i'll include with this post.

I'm BATMAN!

2008-08-21T15:36:00.001-04:00

and uh.. this is my non gay sidekick robin.. i swear.

3d madness

2008-08-20T21:25:00.003-04:00

well I was working on this random super hero idea today while at work but some weird double layer BS happened when I extruded an area for the mask going over the eyes.. and well, i've gone too far to fix it, but i'm posting it anyway for the heck of it. (i'll make another attempt at something similar tomorrow and hopefully complete it without any mundane problems)

Muffin Anyone?

2008-08-16T19:42:00.002-04:00

I uh.. kinda.. did a quick doodle of.... hitler.. a much happier version of him though. (maybe this is what he'd look like if he wasn't a mad man... orrr maybe this is what he'd look like if he ended up taking over the entire world.) who knows.

Stumpy Joker

2008-08-14T01:54:00.001-04:00

I just did this mindless drawing while on the phone.

Chicken Fucker / Cafe Sketes / Hudson

2008-08-13T03:51:00.002-04:00

Soo this is a montage of a post including such things as concept ideas for the well known super villain "chicken fucker" (and the chicken coop) followed by some cafe sketches, and then things will be finished off with an incredibly awesome dog named Hudson; of whom I had the pleasure of dog sitting for a couple weeks as or recent. (poor little guy was skunked while under my supervision, but luckly I got the scent out of his skin before handing him back to his owner)

Speedy Painting

2008-08-12T14:57:00.002-04:00

Because I didn't feel like scanning any of my work I did a little speed painting in the meantime.
On a side note, I changed my blog layout and as a result I've lost links to people on the right hand side. On top of that, there's a tonne of people that I need to add to my blog but I'm never in the mood to do so; but one of these days I'll get around to it. ... yup

Morning Paint Session

2008-07-12T11:56:00.001-04:00

Sooo I decided I'd paint one of my sketches from the previous post today for shits n' giggles.

My Brain

2008-07-12T01:06:00.003-04:00

just posting a page full of sketches done via sketchbook pro, yet again. enjoy!

Oldie Layouts

2008-07-09T19:54:00.004-04:00

I stumbled across a couple layouts today from last semester, one of which, was turned into a digital painting.

???

2008-07-05T12:17:00.001-04:00

Just a random doodle from last night when I had nothing better to do with my time.

Coral Reef

2008-06-24T12:45:00.004-04:00

I decided to say the hell with work today and just did my own thing. That thing being some studies on coral reef for something i'm working on at the moment. Oh and by the way, these studies were done with the aid of alias sketchbook pro. It's all I use now when it comes to sketching since it feels so natural... almost.. too natural. So if you've never used this program before, I highly suggest you try it out.

Look out Superman

2008-06-16T18:33:00.002-04:00

Look out buddy, there's a new guy in town.
I'm going to attempt a b/g for him tonight.. hopefully i don't screw it up as per usual with all my digital paintings. but we'll see..

Motherload of a post

2008-04-22T23:06:00.004-04:00

be prepared. there's a fair bit to look at in this post.. or skim through. your choice.
on a side note, it feels great to not worry about handing in assignments for a few months. anywho, on with pictures to look at instead of shitty ole' text.

final character design assignment of year #2. This is probably my favorite character designed by me, although his lack of neck was a bit annoying to work with.

i've just recently starting mucking around with sculpey so this is a face in the makings that still has pleanty to be done with it. ( i have used clay when I was high school.. but that high school, and the art program was shit, therefore it doesn't count)

cute women.. need i say more?

cafe sketches along with what seems to be layout concepts from this semester..

I have some maya to post on here as well but that'll have to wait because I'm not in the mood to switch my OS from Leopard to Windows at the moment.

the oh so very "curious" George

2008-04-18T03:43:00.004-04:00

bustin nuts while learning about the birds and the bees.

aaaand bustin ghosts. by the way.. i'm aware that isn't how you hold the ghost bustin gun.

Doodle

2008-03-13T03:06:00.003-04:00

Just a random drawing I did today when taking a break from working on school related assignments.

More of them speed paintings

2008-03-11T01:01:00.003-04:00

so here are 3 of 6? quick gesture like paintings that i did tonight. let me know what you think

the one above reminds me of the "i'm too cool for school" type kid from the 50's with his leather jacket skippen class.

aaand another

2008-03-10T01:31:00.002-04:00

well like i said in my previous post, i'd probably end up creating yet another speed painting. soo here's #2. I'd create a 3rd one but i should probably get back to school related work. anywho, enjoy.

Speed Painting

2008-03-10T01:06:00.001-04:00

This is a quick painting that I just recently created with nothing in mind when I started.. in fact I had intentions of just doing a quick exterior layout when I started to see a couple characters develop; sooo I ended up painting these two fellas. I had a lot of fun creating this and plan on doing plenty of these in my near future.. (i'll probably create another one after this post)

Story Pitch

2008-03-04T18:35:00.003-05:00

So these are some digi paintings i threw together of the 4 characters in my Western story that I presented this morning in storyboard class. (the 4th character is in the post below)

me + photoshop = teh suck

2008-02-19T01:28:00.001-05:00

aghh I'm pretty terrible with photoshop but one of these days i'll figure it all out. or so i'm hoping. anyway, here's a quickie i did with photoshop as part of my pitch in storyboarding.

zombieeeeee

2008-01-23T22:04:00.001-05:00

this is a drawrin that I did at UofT today in this special room of theirs where they display decaying body parts in jars.

Final Paintings

2007-12-13T09:08:00.000-05:00

are now complete for the end of my 1st semester of my 2nd year in animation.
Not exactly 100% content with my "realistic" version but time isn't on my side thus it'll do. As for my inked / stylized version i'm 100% content with it and only takes all of 10 minutes to do! well the painting portion of it at least. Inking it took much longer then that and was rather annoying seeing how I had to apply the ink onto rough water color paper. But even though painting it was quick and painless I enjoyed approaching it in this manner. Even though we're only supposed to do 2 versions of this painting, I'm going to attempt a 3rd over the holidays with a more Samurai Jack type approach seeing how I love the art work for the backgrounds in that show.

More Fortress Madness

2007-12-11T17:22:00.001-05:00

These are a bunch of color studies that I've been working on today which will then be shown to my painting teacher tomorrow. Once I've seen him I will also do some touch ups on one of the versions I've already completed with the air brush aaaand I will then proceed to start / finish the following painting as well.

copic markers are GODLY!

2007-11-27T01:55:00.000-05:00

So I sold my soul for 7 copic markers today and it was well worth the price. I've been having fun with them all night. ANywho here's a doodle i did of myself. I've also added a quick color study for my fortress layout. I spent a good bit of time today screwing around with the sky and getting it mold itself into the rest of the layout. Regardless of the struggle I had with it today though I really like the "mellow" sorta feel thats going on with it now.

Tonal Studies

2007-11-21T17:36:00.001-05:00

Here is a couple tonal studies done for my layout so now it's time to get some color on this bad boy.

Side note. I'll be going with the one on the right side.

Most Hilarious Comb Over ever...!

2007-11-19T00:00:00.000-05:00

Well this is not art related but it's too funny not to share with the rest of the world.

The story goes a little something like this! First off this all takes place on a chilly Sunday evening in the Oakville Shopping Mall. As per usual Braden, Lorenzo and myself had met up in the food court near the bathrooms where attractive females seem to vanish. The three of us often wonder what happens to them, but instead of going to find out we just sit there and wait in hope that they'll be back like any true creep. Perhaps one of these days we'll actually venture into the bathrooms and discover where all these beautiful women have gone. But for now we will just agree that wherever they do happen to go, it's a place we'd all like to see for ourselves. But back to the main point behind this post. At some point in time while the three of us were slouched off in our seats drawing all the wonderful people that Oakville has to offer us there was this one lad who stuck out from the rest. The first discovery of him was founded by none other then The Amazing Action Ape!.. aka Braden (but why would anybody want to call him Braden is beyond me) After The Amazing Action Ape founded this strange lad he swiftly turns to his right to inform me, I then take a glance to the left figuring there was yet another attractive female venturing into the beyond but to my surprise it was a man.. a man with the most retarded looking comb over in history. ! Of course after seeing such a sight there was instant laughter pursued between the two of us and eventually it grew onto Lorenzo once we showed him what all the laughter was about. So while the three of us were laughing at this man who happened to be standing RIGHT beside us (because we're discrete like that) I figured it was too good to be true and snapped a picture with my cell-u-lator. A video would have been even funnier but I didn't think about doing that until hours later; And so, I now present to you the "i-don't-care-i'm-married" haircut (because somehow this son of a bitch does have a wife.. ?)

Rough Fortress

2007-11-17T21:00:00.000-05:00

This is a more developed version of my fortress drawing that was done for layout class since it now has to be used in painting; and since I love our panting class I have put a lot more time into it now. (the fortress is still the same but the foreground has had a huge makeover) On that note there will be some refinements on the fortress itself too. Again this is rough and I'll be working on a much cleaner version tonight and hopefully have some tonal studies done as well. So hopefully there will be more to come of this real soon.

This post has now been updated with a newer version. tonals can finally commence!

Char Design, and Oakville Place madness!

2007-11-16T14:33:00.001-05:00

So I had a blast at Oakville Place today drawing people while listening to some Bonobo to start off my day. On top of that I have my recent char designs to post. My Russian guards action poses fell apart so I'm not posting those.

Moutain Home

2007-11-14T17:56:00.000-05:00

A painting / layout I came up with at the beginning of the school year. How exciting.
ps. the painting was done with watercolors and cleaned up with an air brush.

Conflict And Climax

2007-11-14T03:32:00.000-05:00

This is a storyboard assignment where we have to follow set rules as to how each of the 12 panels are used involving a line that can be used as a horizon, or maybe a line of action. Then there is the circle that is supposed to be a the focal point. The story also has to involve two characters who are in a non-verbal conflict.. thus they are out to hurt each other.. or in this case to kill one another.. Neither of the chaps in my story are good guys and just happen to be two males that don't get along. Why? I really don't know. Anyways this is what I happened to come up with. I wouldn't mind them being a bit cleaner / easier to read but since it's supposed to be an in class assignment it should be fine. Or so I hope.

The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

2007-11-02T11:58:00.001-04:00

But in this case I just wanted to try using a pen in extra life drawing for the first time. Sadly I can count on one hand how many time I'm after going to extra life this year..

ps. this is a 5 min that i scanned and put some quick color on top of it in photoshop
