'cause they have "hollow weenies!"

 

One from the vault. I drew this some time ago, possibly years, when I was experimenting with combining Asian imagery and Day of the Dead motifs (I guess, in so far as anything with a skull can be considered DotD). Like some of the recent posts, I started with a simple color scheme and it wasn't doing much for me. When I added the shadows and a light source, the image just popped. To illustrate my point, here is the original drawing and the in-between stage of the process.

You can also see what small touches were added digitally.

Weekend Quickie

These were from a session a few months ago. I was not incredibly impressed with them at the time. Having dug them up and played around with them a little, I think I was able to put together something worthwhile. I had originally gone with a style very similar to the last post. Instead, I opted for more dramatic lighting. I think it really makes these images stand out.

These sketches were done at the same session as the last post. I thought I might try a little something different with the Photoshop part. I think it really works for this set. Not sure I could get away with it too often. Man, I miss that hat.

I did these sketches a few months ago. Not sure why they never got posted then but here they are. I just threw the color in to break up the monotony. I actually kind of like it.
