From the Archives: Quick Zombie

Here's a quick zombie sketch from a few years back.  This one came from my traveling sketchbook, so this probably happened at work during lunch.

The Featured Creature 2012-13: Last Bites Part I, Candy Apple Heart

I began the Featured Creature posts only a year ago at the beginning of September 2012, but it now seems like an eternity has passed.  This has been a tumultuous and eventful year globally and personally.  My work on the Featured Creatures has followed a similar roller coaster path of development.

I had the idea of doing a weekly creature sketch percolating for several years and had never been able to actualize it before September of last year.  As soon as I began posting, the ideas and energy took off like a rocket.  I began the Featured Creature to help me keep my hand drawing skills moving forward.  It quickly evolved into something more.

From the Archives: Purple Sharpie Portrait

This is me playing with purple sharpies again.  A quick portrait here exploring some P. Craig Russell style line work.  I think I'd just gotten some new sharpies and was breaking them in.  Not as much time to noodle things the way I used to.  I used to get lost in the lines for hours.

Growing The Worlds of the Featured Creature

It's been awhile since I've felt like the Featured Creature images were only sketches.  The drawings and posts have mutated into something much larger than my original thought behind the project.  I feel silly calling them sketches anymore.

The production process for each piece has become quite involved, mirroring much of the process of creating a finished comic book page.  As becoming a comic book creator is one of my personal goals, I suppose unintentionally I've been moving in that direction all along.  So what does all this patter mean for the future of the Featured Creature?
