I don't know why but this one was so hard to finish and...ugh, probably just been a bad day.

Oh man, this one was a pain, and it really showed me how lazy I can be with composition, but still...not too bad for three hours worth of work.
Gosh, by the time this is done, I'll have a children's book work of work, with someone else's words. But no time to pay to that, I'm just doing this to get better.
Hopefully, you all enjoy what you see!  :)

Happy monday all.

part three! I have to say, I loved doing the stars the most.

So, here's the second one! I've gotten that far at least!
Another big thing with this project is everything is being done from scratch in photoshop. No drawings before hand. I'm shaky with a tablet on good days, but I can almost feel the change after two pieces. This is nothing but a good thing.
Anyway, that's my excuse for the poor drawing, lol. It should hold less clout as the days go by.

Sooooo last week I found myself unemployed. The studio I had been with for almost four years was downsizing and my skills were not really a priority to the greater good of the company. It was a real bummer, as I really liked the work environment (can't really say the same about the work) and the fact that money (however little it was) found it's way into my bank account every other week. On the plus side, I have a lot more free time until I find the next job and have decided that now is the perfect time to sharpen the skills I use to have. Save the few sketches that adorn this blog, I really haven't had the time to work on what I want to work on. I had grown complacent and stagnant in these past four years and it's no one's fault but my own.

Enter this: The first of a series based on a song from on of my favorite bands, Shearwater. The song is called Home Life (you can find it at the bottom) and I'm taking my own interpritation of the story played out in the song. I really really want to do a web comic, and I figured that I should do a test series before I go with the real deal, so check back every night, monday through friday and we'll see where this goes. I want to finish this. I need to finish this. If only to prove to myself I can.
