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.
An old saying... Le roi est mort (The King is dead), vive le roi (long live the king)! An image I sketched for fun. I used Krita (a free, open source, paint program). It has some nice tools to mimic pencils, pens and paints of different sorts. I highly recommend it if you are into digital drawing/painting and art in general. It is important to have a graphics tablet (wacom or the like) to take advantage of the pressure sensitive nature of the digital pens, pencils and paint brushes --> Oh, and Krita is free too! Strangely, the model I used in the pose was a rather attractive female on the beach, laying on her stomach with hands digging/clawing into the sand. Amazing what you can transform your reference into (she was much more beautiful than this ended up I assure you!) :) |
