Hey everybody, And here we have the 3rd installment of our sketch of Chief Nantan... I've moved onto to describing the details and design of the clothing, as well as refining his left hand - which I wanted to be doing something other than just chilling on his knee. Native Americans have a fine reputation for being in tune with nature and sensitive to their surroundings, far more than we are today. So as you can see I decided to have him sifting through his hand the earth beneath him. Something slightly more emblematic of his character. Hope you enjoy it and I'll talk with you tomorrow, as we'll have the 4th and final installment of our good pal Nantan. - D

What's up everybody, As promised I wanted to post up part 2 of my sketch of Chief Nantan. At this stage you can see I've began describing the clothing, buffalo headdress, hands (well, the right hand anyway) and the overall body position. Once the foundation of these areas are laid out I can then begin to add details to the clothing - such as where the wrinkles form, as well as it's design and texture. Hope you enjoy it and I'll talk with you tomorrow. - D Whats up everybody, This is a thumbnail from a sketch of Chief Nantan, one of the elder Native American characters from ADRIFT. Now, this is supposed to be a fairly simplistic sketch, as it's something to be used as the building block for something larger. Though as I was working I couldn't help but get caught up in the amazing texture of the Native American face. There's an incredible strength in their features that stands out - like they're molded from earth or carved from stone. It's almost surreal. So I thought, since I've had such a great time with it, it'd be cool to post a little of this sketch each day for the next few days. Hope you enjoy and I'll talk with you tomorrow. - D Here's a shot of our very opinionated friend, Rourke. Known as the local conspiracy theorist the ex-military soldier is usually found half-drunk and causing a ruckus at the town watering hole. But the question being... are his thoughts just a figment of his paranoia, or is there more to it that we just don't know? Hope you all enjoy the sketch and if so feel free to let me know what you think. Thanks all, - D Hey all, Just wanted to post a quick character sketch I worked up for a film/graphic novel project I'm a part of called ADRIFT. I'm working with the fantastically talented gentlemen Mr. Will Tully and Mr. Joel Austin. It's been a blast thus far and I'll be spilling more beans on the project in the coming days. For now though we must wait for the elders to conclude their discussion about things most unusual... Thanks all and talk with ya soon! - D P.S. Today's post is dedicated to friend Jess Wolfert, critiquer extraordinaire and fine maker-of-tacos & other tasty dishes. Like Sons of Anarchy? Yeah, me too. Which is one reason why I'm happy to mention these new editions. Recently wrapped up some illustrations that were developed as part of a pitch to FX Network for the upcoming season of their acclaimed television show, Sons of Anarchy. I worked along side the exceptionally skilled director, art director, & designer Vonetta Taylor. Had a fantastic time collaborating on these and hope to work with Vonetta again in the future. If you'd like to check out some of her other work be sure to stop by Nomenclature-Design.com. Also, be sure to keep an eye peeled for the TV spots that'll be airing soon. If they have that ink drawing feel you know what's up. Thanks all and talk with ya soon, - D |
