A few weeks ago Arthur Low, Tyler Law, and I spent some time working on a project with the intention of submitting the final product to a group in Chicago who had designed a cabinet for displaying PC games. The suggested theme was beer, so we decided to make a 2-player game about running a prohibition-era speakeasy. AJ programmed the game, Tyler designed the aesthetic, created the game world, and produced all of the UI. I created a simple character set consisting of two bartenders and six customers. Creating their tiny, classy outfits was a blast! The character design was heavily influenced by the remarkable work of Chen-ya Chang, an illustrator at Filament Games.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In a (not completely successful) attempt to save time I employed the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grisaille">grisaille</a> technique for the final stages of the Metropolis project. Grisaille involves painting first in grayscale and then overlaying a transparent color wash. The idea is that by being able to focus on value removed from color considerations, one will be able to crank through the initial stages of the painting very quickly. In my case, I didn't push my values far enough before adding color, and this resulted in some of the panels looking washed out and underdeveloped. (I used the <b>color</b> blending mode in Photoshop.) That said, I think the more simplistic look of the colored page is acceptable for sequential art. A good exercise if nothing else!</div>Trevorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05927031655826159314noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269330995391245813.post-79411668325074185282010-04-16T09:50:00.001-05:002010-04-16T09:51:05.425-05:00Missing You, Metropolis<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie8A7tcVz3CCHL3zjXOy4qMAuD6qdNwsy1JnRzoT-pxo81wfAwFQziokH0QW_LXc8mK6XxYQOXK7Doso2qvC9H1g20T8uMIdJHrYWikmZau60bT8l4MjF5UkS2wiaEpXLIvJ4jhvIo1dI/s1600/MYM_rough.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie8A7tcVz3CCHL3zjXOy4qMAuD6qdNwsy1JnRzoT-pxo81wfAwFQziokH0QW_LXc8mK6XxYQOXK7Doso2qvC9H1g20T8uMIdJHrYWikmZau60bT8l4MjF5UkS2wiaEpXLIvJ4jhvIo1dI/s320/MYM_rough.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">The first two stages of the <i>Missing You, Metropolis</i> project I've been working on the past few weeks. Graywolf Press hired me to produce a graphic treatment of the title poem from a soon-to-be-published book by Gary Jackson. The book focuses on the interplay between the imaginary worlds and characters found in comic books and the very real, often difficult experiences of the author growing in rural Kansas. The concept is to depict snippets from the poem in the format of a page from a graphic novel. This 6x11" illustration will be included in the first run of galleys sent out to editors, reviewers, etc.<br />
<br />
The rough illustration is intended to demonstrate my visual concept to the client. Once this is approved, I redraw the panels and refine my linework. (Thanks to my aspiring photographer buddy Diarmuid Kelleher for helping me snap a few reference photographs for this stage of the project.)</span>Trevorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05927031655826159314noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269330995391245813.post-12693120017343691912010-04-02T09:24:00.000-05:002010-04-02T09:24:00.737-05:00More from life<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9Dt9bZHEAgNhkKU2zNGfMnuET9AO5ic2FBFYLQ6xoE12pY9CYc76E_AGPdmyIYqd4Pwqf_sBSEJrjW08xOxrE3YTXlNbL7hIOjeZTeyKKgKrlSPYAHV2GGTMGHEKqHf_zXNudEcAQp3c/s1600/fig058.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9Dt9bZHEAgNhkKU2zNGfMnuET9AO5ic2FBFYLQ6xoE12pY9CYc76E_AGPdmyIYqd4Pwqf_sBSEJrjW08xOxrE3YTXlNbL7hIOjeZTeyKKgKrlSPYAHV2GGTMGHEKqHf_zXNudEcAQp3c/s320/fig058.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The<i> Walk or Bus?</i> iPhone app has officially been released! <a href="http://bit.ly/walkorbus">Download it from the Apple store.</a> The app calculates whether you are better off taking the bus or walking based on a number of variables, including how long until the bus arrives, your average walking speed, and how far to your destination. A very cool gizmo. Brainchild of <a href="http://thepossessive.blogspot.com/">Dana Boyd</a> and <a href="http://visualmotive.com/">Chris Mueller</a>, coding and implementation by <a href="http://edstrom.net/blog">Peter Edstrom</a>.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here's a rather rough first draft of the new pixelchef logo for my forthcoming web site. I am satisfied with the pose, but everything else is off. The colors are not sufficiently bright and cheery, and I am beginning to think the warmer color should be the dominant hue. Neither pixelation effect is working, either, but I want to continue playing around with the idea. Haven't thought to much about the background yet, but I may throw in one of those (admittedly overused) sunburst deals.<br />

As usual, I waited until the last minute to make my Christmas cards and gift tags. Fortunately, Dad (professor Robert C. Brown) had been looking for an excuse to try out his trusty new watercolor set, and so we found ourselves busily making art on Christmas eve. He painted the tags as I finished drawing them, and I even managed to coerce him into painting his own card! Who needs Hallmark anyway? :) Painting credits: Robert C.

After taking a 6 month hiatus from figure drawing, I decided to trek over to the last MCAD-hosted cooperative of the year. It's within walking distance, only $5, professionally organized, and the model last night was exceptional. I was also glad to see many people in attendance on such a cold night.<br />
<br />
As usual, my first half dozen gestures were abysmal. I don't know if I will ever be able to shake a handful of bad habits that consistently pop up when I am drawing people from life: poor proportions, over-reliance on line, inability to sense form. I suspect this is partly due to the remarkable human ability to sense even the slightest anatomical error in renderings of people. But I also sense a certain anxiety when I know I'm about to draw a human being, an anxiety that is absent when I attempt to draft any other subject.

</div>More refined compositions for the Kenneltraz project. The idea is that our pets' perception of the world is considerably more dramatic than ours--e.g. the local strip mall dog pound is seen as a creepy prison island. I still struggle mightily with value, but I'm starting to understand the whole painting thing. I've also learned that while the "mirror" test is invaluable and not all that scary during the early stages of a drawing, it becomes increasingly terrifying the longer one works. In the case of the animal gang picture, I was nearly finished with the painting (and out of time) before I worked up the courage to flip it. It was not a good experience.Trevorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05927031655826159314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269330995391245813.post-17521514320227342782009-12-06T11:00:00.001-06:002010-01-12T09:36:56.546-06:00More geese<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcKDNGMr4ajm356oCeg0rvfoJLylXkPxH5Jpy49PlhS5457Gdis25rYBCDOEzkmo40KIIaAa0IoLz18XGjpTTU1OT2oV30nizB2dEpjPjthBSTGMsV8rEN2LFIWV2M8KGtBHBaAPQaRvk/s1600-h/gooseCover_forPort.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcKDNGMr4ajm356oCeg0rvfoJLylXkPxH5Jpy49PlhS5457Gdis25rYBCDOEzkmo40KIIaAa0IoLz18XGjpTTU1OT2oV30nizB2dEpjPjthBSTGMsV8rEN2LFIWV2M8KGtBHBaAPQaRvk/s320/gooseCover_forPort.jpg" /></a><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">A prison island inspired by Alcatraz (lighthouse, smokestack, water tower). I must have had <i>The Curse of Monkey Island</i> in mind as I drew this. Remember the Plunder Island map with those dramatic cinnamon roll clouds? I might try a darker, more severe version next.<br />

A value study and more detailed sketch of the lab set for scene 1 of the virtual play to be staged in the aforementioned classical/byzantine-esque theatre. The play is about robots, and it's rather edgy. My kind of drama. Presently reworking the architectural flourishes to make it a bit less Victorian (although I'm <i>definitely</i> keeping the Frankenstein-derived "lightnining bulbs") and a bit more art deco. At least, that's the idea.Trevorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05927031655826159314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269330995391245813.post-8729404204399156592009-10-13T11:34:00.001-05:002009-10-13T12:02:11.371-05:00Groundling theater<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4QD9pAWj1GRDCRad-fyrz0UcPBXCgoP4aLhwcQdtITNbEpcS-ldQ35MQyzV4Yg2RlQsZvi6L18FuYAlraBqAjF9BZW_qybM9NLBidOyfRpyvbjZL7k1SGEK5DOeY8_ysagBrKJOvD-eU/s1600-h/theater.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4QD9pAWj1GRDCRad-fyrz0UcPBXCgoP4aLhwcQdtITNbEpcS-ldQ35MQyzV4Yg2RlQsZvi6L18FuYAlraBqAjF9BZW_qybM9NLBidOyfRpyvbjZL7k1SGEK5DOeY8_ysagBrKJOvD-eU/s320/theater.jpg" /></a><br />

</div>A structure/lighting concept for a virtual theater to be used to stage interactive plays. The concept is a somewhat dilapidated (derelict, perhaps?) ~200-year-old theater from the turn of the 20th century. Barrel-shaped, with a dramatic dome a la the Hagia Sophia or Pantheon. Three-tiered gallery pays homage to the Globe.Trevorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05927031655826159314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269330995391245813.post-46004485798262137912009-10-10T17:13:00.002-05:002010-01-12T09:37:34.091-06:00Treehome<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

My third and final rough for the Goose project. Having trouble making Oliver stand out against the background. I'm also unhappy with the overall sense of light and shadow. Perhaps if I knock back the value throughout the image and then selectively bring back key areas--Oliver's silhouette, the edge of the stack of books--I'll achieve the look I have in mind. Right now, I think there is a bit too much ambient light.<br />

</div>A WIP of one of the illustrations I'm working on for the Goose book. This is a 1/3 resolution rough sketch with a bit of colour thrown in to give me an opportunity to play with value, and as an excuse to practice :) After I get this approved, I'll blow up the drawing, transfer it to board, and redraw the scene without all those chicken scratches.

I was focused on quickly sketching all of the cars until a high school-aged student approached me and requested we draw a motorcycle together. Ironically, he chose the "Indian Chief"--a cycle of American make prominently featuring a native American on the front fender. Also: a limeade vendor and his cart. Limeade in Hyderabad (and perhaps all of India) is very salty, very sweet, and just a little bit sour.<br />
