Pencil Sketch of a Decorative Clock

I drew a clock...  because I had some time on my hands! Really, though, I always thought beautiful clocks were pretty cool..  at least as an excuse to hang something decorative disguised as something practical.    It's all pencil in a sketchbook that's about the size of half a piece of copy paper. The is just a quick digital picture. Maybe someday I'll stop just TALKING about scanning my stuff properly, and actually DO it. :D    Bigger version below!

SNOW in the SOUTH!?

When I heard about the snow in Atlanta, the idea for this Miser Brothers parody the first thing that came to mind. Is that bad? 

Good Witch Revamp -- Vindiri's Charms

   As some of you may know, I've already posted about ten or so pages of a comic called Good Witch. This comic, which once updated every Friday, has been on hiatus for a long, long time. I simply couldn't keep up with the updates at the time, and wanted to work on other things instead. So I let it go, and began focusing on MOROCHEY.

   Now, as I get used to updating comics regularly, I've been thinking of starting it up again. Unfortunately, looking back, I can see that the art was ROUGH with a capital R. Looking back at my even older, unreleased stuff in my file, I also noticed that some major story-points were sorely lacking in that version. I thought to myself, "I can totally do better".

   So...  I intend to do better.

   Below are some rough concepts of the style I want to use. The GIF format that I wanted to use supported the animation I would have liked to use, but sadly mangled my tones and shapes. I can't blame GIFs for that dude's hair and hands in the second pic, though. That was all me. <.< I'm still not sure whether I'm even going to stick to this style at all.

Stuff I Have! (But Weirdly, Never Posted...)

While tinkering around in my soon-to-be gallery, I've noticed I have a good few things I've never posted in my blog. Some were contest entries to other sites, others were just plain uncompleted.

Soon-to-be Old School Site

Giving the site a long-overdue remodel..  Might want to keep this for nostalgic purposes.

Layers in Digital Art-- Making them Behave Themselves

   Layers are a HUGE asset to digital art. If you use them wisely, they can make your life a whole lot easier. Let them get out of hand..  and you have a huge, confusing mess.

For those of you who don't know already, Layers are like separate virtual pages, arranged one on top of the other. Most photo editing and art programs support this feature. Though the actual interface to mess with these layers may vary among programs, the basic concept is is the same. Whatever you draw, erase, or edit on one layer doesn't effect what happens to the other layers.
