Summen the Kraken

Sheriff.

A countryman.

I spent all weekend trying to come up with some character designs for a school project. These were just some doodles I was doing on the side as I watched t.v.

More sketchbook.

New sketchbook.

I was watching an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond last night. So this is Frank Barone or however you spell his last name.

I added color to "Wild Bill." I think it turned out okay.

The Cars Road Trip 2006 came to a theatre near us yesterday and we were able to see Lightning McQueen and Sally from Cars. We also got free movie posters and trading cards.

This is a painting that I started last night. I liked the look of the monochrome I don't know if I dare add color. This is William 'Wild Bill' Guarnere from Easy Company 101st Airborne. I paused the Band of Brothers DVD for this shot.

Just a page from me sketchbook.

This sketch was a memory sketch of a guy I saw at this little diner type place I ate at.
This fella is from The Sting.
This is from an ad I saw in a magazine. I thought it was a nice gesture.

Here's a Freddy Moore-ish drawing I did goofing around in Painter.

I had to illustrate a story for a final project in one of my classes. Can you guess what I picked? The bottom image is the final composition.

Just a warm up sketch done in Painter. Nothing too exciting.

Wanna panda? Don't cha wanna wanna panda? Here's a few more panda sketches along with a little caricature of Rodney Dangerfield and other stuff.

I had to do an assignment for school and had to draw lots of pandas. Here are two of the 20 or so that I drew. I call him a "Pandit."

This is a detective I designed for this project that a friend of mine asked me to help with. They're based after the Pink Panther designs that can be seen on the DVD box set if you've seen that.

Just a few images from me sketchbook.

A few months ago I was introduced to the art and portraits of John Howard Sanden. I recently purchased his book that explains how to paint a portrait (or anything for that matter) in 29 logical steps. I went ahead and gave it a try using Corel Painter. So this image is copied from his book, using the 29 steps.
