Hello Again Blogger!

Wow, I Guess it's been a while, here's two very different sketches from recently

The GODBOTS! finally return with the KRAKEN...I'll be getting more of these done in the near future...

...and something much more serene, I'm actually trying to push myself to simplify my color sketches mainly to work on color interaction and lighting more than anything, plus I do loads of ugly stuff as is.

I've been up to a lot of art but haven't really been documenting it for the blog here in SOME time, I'll be  rectifying that situation over the next month, so look out for more art!

Process for an album cover Part One

I recently took an illustration gig doing an album cover, the concept is about a blind street musician, whose a one man band, portrayed as some sort of multiple armed deity . It's not done yet, but I thought I'd post some process along the way. These two roughs were what we narrowed down to of about a half dozen. I really thought the top one had a great crazy energy but my clients preferred the second and given the concept, I'm not sure the first one was the best choice for the job.

You can see some refinements here in the pencil art and there will be a few more tweaks when I ink this. I'll post again after the inks and the cover design are finished.
