Here are some preliminary sketches for a book I am working on at this time. These illustrate the strange nature of the book and its subject, which is about a serious yet, at times, uncanny condition some people may be experiencing. So far I have 11 of the 17 main images sketched out. Work will progress on upping both the detail and quality next. I've said too much! :) The sketches will be fleshed out and altered as needed. My intent at this time is to create the final book illustrations, get the written part up to snuff and put the book together. Once done, the book will be available through self-publishing (not sure who I'm going with at this time, but have ideas). Then, selected images from the book will be available in poster prints, t-shirts, as well as other merchandise at the various outlets I sell through (Product & Support Menu item will bring you there - and I'll supply the link in another post when the time comes). Enjoy the images! ~ Randy |

Happy with the way both concepts came out, however need to revisit and flesh out more.
This time done in pen :) Needs more tentacles (and larger ones at that). Playing around with the original (digital) sketch's look and feel. I'll probably replace the current eye with that of the Nautilus in the lower left corner as it has a stranger look to it. A rough sketch I did (digitally) while playing with one of Krita's symmetry mode (it has several!) Krita is an open source, free, paint program that mimics pressure (and tilt) sensitive pencil/pen/paint with a graphics tablet. Along with many other things, it has some limited vector/stroke ability too! https://krita.org/
I've been working on some concept art for a friend and for how many markers I have at my disposal, do you think I have any that are not in the midst of depleting or already dried up? :) Wow... I've thrown out close to 14 microns. Time to get a new batch and go through all the old pens I have to prune my supply a bit. |
