Eddie Eel Stickers

So I want to accounce that I am releaseing a set of Stickers of Eddie Eel and Friends. Here is the 1st edition and I would like to know you're feelings about what I have here.

Going to be gone for a week

In the meanwhile I'll post some pics for you to enjoy. Thanks for stopping by.

Working on Buisness Cards

So I found a website called Moo.com, and they have some neat deals on some really nice business cards and mini cards. I'll explain more later but here are some drawings that I want to include on them.

Learning To Manage Digital Drawing

This pic I worked pretty hard on with the lineart. Coloring lineart isn't always easy cause if you just paintbucket fill the outline you'll pick up stray pixles and it'll look messy. So I have to use the Brightness and Contrast took to make the lineart gray and then add color to it it with Hue and Saturation. Hue and Sat is my favorite tool. Saves so much time instead of repainting the color over again. With the Chibi pic I'm trying to get used to digital inking.

















It seems once someone gets a Cintiq they become a complete digital artist. I stopped like using ink because here is the difference in quality between digital inking and traditional inking for me at the moment. The pens I get are bleeding out too and they're supposed to be good pens. Yet I'm still not happy with the inking process at all, both digitally and traditionally. Still both methods are nice in their own ways.

They're Coming...

Keep an eye out for creatures of the deep looking to steal your candy. They're jealous of the reef people and they're coming up from the dark waters for some tricks unless they give them all their treats. So come back here around Halloween for a story and art of the spooky kind.

Eddie Sketches_Just to update.

Here are some things I did of Eddie. Just to get a new blog post up. WIPs in here mostly.
























Nessie in these sketches here, is Eddie's girlfriend. While at 1st we only hear Ed talk about her and act like her (like he talks in her voice to himself), she IS a real person, though for a while we assume it's just something Ed made up. I'm still working on the character design, but tell me what you think.

BookMarks WIP

Hello people, I am in the process of working on stuff to make more money. There is a local festival where I live and my mom proposed we make bookmarks of our native American symbols to laminate and sell there. So here is a WIP process of how I'm working on this. Keep coming back to this page to see how the process gets more and more complete.



These symbols are NOT the original cave painting figures. My mother makes a good point about this, that you shouldn't use the exact cave painting because these are religious figures and drawings and we have NO IDEA what some of them are supposed to mean. Sure there are some obvious drawings like dolphins and coyotes but for the most part if something is headless, don't paste it on the wall of your building. So most of these things here are things I've made up to look like things from our cultures caves, but none of them are 100% exact.

These pictures tell stories. The 2nd one is not finished but see if you can guess what's going on (those people are walking over a rainbow bridge). None of these stories are evil or scary.

UPDATE:
This Page here shows what I do to draw these things. I drew the images I wanted to used a light to color the image in reverse on the clean side of the page. You're seeing the back side of the page.


Here is the final images. There are a few things I need to finish up with photoshop and I'm still waiting for my mom to add descriptions of the images. I'll get it cleaned up and more prepared for print. Tell me what you think so far.









Here is the image with the text for each image. If you can imagine that they'll be two sided, with the text behind it's image. I know it might be more expensive but I made them color coated so the printer won't mess it up. Tell me what you think. There will be a DA version later, but you see the complete one here. I'll give you an update if I'm selling them on-line anywhere and if you want on. They will be lamented, and if you want one snail mail I can guess the whole thing might be 5$ each total (that includes shipping)...that is if we get a good deal from the print place 1st off.

Warning this is a big file size.

Mountain Dew Contest WIP

The final version is up here at DA. Click to see the High Res there.

---
This is for the Mountain Dew contest on DA. I'm still working on a lot of it but the more opinions I can get the more I can see what else I need to do. Like the Rokko Bugs picture (which is defiantly on hold but not forgotten) I will use this blog post to show updates on it's progress so keep checking back. If you can show me pictures of good designs for characters, like the pigs or miss Red Riding Hood, please link them it's all good.

This will be a Black, Green and White piece, with the Egg being the only gold part. The MD logo will be over the egg and there will be room for the other logo around the mountains.
