I dug through tons of old storyboards I did for advertising and internal development and picked out a bunch to put online. Most of the storyboarding work I do is to illustrate what’s called User Experiences for product design: I draw people using products that do not exist yet, or may not ever exist. As such, I have to carefully handpick frames that I think show off my drawing reasonably well, but also do not give away any of the secrets of my clients. Fourteen new images have been added to the gallery, so go check them out! Here are a couple of them:
This Guild illustration isn’t so much a new piece of art as just a new version of it. I had a black and white version of this on my site before, but here is the color version of Vork and Codex that was printed as a pin-up in issue #3 of The Guild Miniseries. With it, I’ve also updated my illustration gallery with a few other newish things I’ve done. Check em out!
I’ve found myself with some time away from projects for the first moment in a long time, so I’ve taken the opportunity to dig through all my files to find a bunch of art I’ve had stockpiled and pick out content to add to my site. I think I ended up with around 80 images. So, here’s the first batch of many new images soon to be added! Here are someboards for the production of commercials for Electronic Arts, Sony, and Nike: Here is a page of some sweet Predator comic action to celebrate the new movie. I wanted to experiment a bit with a looser, grittier style with this page, using heavier blacks, leaving more lines open, as well as using some splatter and scratching with a knife. Worked out pretty alright.
This coming Wednesday, May 5th, a story of mine, entitled “Tobb, The Sling!”, will run on MySpace Dark Horse Presents! This will be the first professional work of mine that is entirely of my own creation, including the story. I don’t usually fancy myself much of a writer, but I was given to opportunity to do an 8-page all-ages story, and it sounded like fun, so I thought I’d give it a shot. I had the Discovery Channel going on the TV when I was trying to come up with a story idea, and a nature show came on that had a short segment on earth’s largest rodent, the capybara. That was the starting point. I thought it would be awesome to draw a capybara, and continued thinking of what else I wanted to draw with it. And so, I came up with a story about a plucky kid adventurer and his giant riding capybara. It’s a little bit of a Zelda-like fantasy adventure, and a little bit of a fantasy adventure spoof. I had tons of fun working on it, and I hope readers will find it fun, too! It will officially be released on the MDHP on Wed, but Comics Alliance has an exclusive early release of it HERE!
Hey Folks! This weekend is Stumptown Comics Fest! I’ll be set up there all weekend, doing sketches, and selling prints and comics at booth 119! Additionally, I’ll be signing copies of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #42 at the Dark Horse booth on Sunday, between noon and 1pm. First 25 people get a free copy! I finally got around to taking the pictures I took during ECCC off my camera. It was an amazing show that I got a lot of business at! I think I did about 14 sketches total, although I didn’t remember to photograph all of them. Here are the ones that I did remember to take pictures of: Wolverine’s Hand, “The man your man could smell like” on a unicorn, Darth Revan, Mal, Jarael, Inara, E. Honda, Hellboy, Cyclone, and X23. An extra bonus at the end is an old sketch of Malak I did last year at SDCC that I don’t think I ever put up. Enjoy the sketch dump!
PS- If I did a sketch for you that isn’t pictured here, I’d love it if you could send me a pic or scan of it. Thanks! I did this as a warm up drawing the other day when was having some problems getting started on my work. I’ve been enjoying experimenting with inking textures, using splattered ink and an x-acto blade to scratch and cut into the paper. As of this post, the original drawing is also available for sale on the Periscope Studio Etsy Store!
Periscope Studio now has an Etsy store! Buy our stuff so we can use the profits to fund studio expenses like printer ink, new computers, and gilded statues of Jeff Parker. Right now, I have the original black and white inks for this piece, Link of The Legend of Zelda, up for sale!
