Check it! A monumental moment.
A brief relaxation of your defenses. Let your eyes believe what they are seeing, they aren’t lying this time around. Let your mind do its thing even if it is taking awhile.
It is Cesbot’s profile, for you bro.
What does everyone think?
He has the right to say otherwise, but I think rednop would say something like what the kitten in the back said, you know, that ego deflating comment that hits you just right.
I had a hard time keeping my inking consistent on this one because I tried using a thin micron pen instead of the Rapidograph pens I’ve been using. I think I will be switching back to my Rapidographs for thicker lines and use micron pens for the thinner lines. The reason being that the Rapidograph pens I have that are very thin cannot seem to get a good ink flow going. I am also going to look into trying out different types of papers to see which holds inks better.
Also, I am now dreaming of setting up a nice comfortable space in which to produce comics. Being bent over a small space on an Ikea computer desk is giving me neck cramps.
A logo for ThirdSpuds dads’ company. When I went down to meet Thirdspud at his place I didn’t realize his place was huge and it had a great view. It was cool seeing the Backhoe in action. What a monster.
This was one of the toughest logos I have created simply because it demanded to be both recognizable as a Backhoe and simple enough to be embroidered.
The hat version of the logo came out pretty good. Hats off to the embroidery place where they were created.
The poor thing didn’t deserve what I did to its picture. But I’m pretty sure it doesn’t care. I thought this up during work (I was on break dammit) after seeing the original image on cuteoverload.com. I made a photoshop file with the kitty and the words, then rednop came in and changed word color and put a red frame around the whole thing, which I think made the difference.
I found a draft of this in my sketchbook, so I decided to take it all the way to inks and then computer screens. The dude in the comic seemed to remind rednop of me, even though that was not my intention. Man, what does that say? No, shut up, that was rhetorical.
