Sketch of the day 12/16/12

The lone journey of the artist.

I don't know what it is about the 20xx era but it seems like every dang artist out there is just too damn

diva to ever want to do a collaboration. I have almost begged for collaboration work with various 

artists. All to just fall upon deaf or ignorant ears. It is something I have encountered a lot in the big city of

Atlanta. So I decided that I will simply do this as a solo mission. 

I will gladly take any criticism and pointers to my artwork easily. I mean hell, I'm not a child anymore. I can take a comment or insult easily. But I miss the days of doing "pencils" while I would have quite a few folks that would throw inks on it. Then pass it along to a colorist and watch the magic happen. We made milestones with number 2 pencils, ballpoint pen, and colored pencils. Nowadays you have soo much digital media and programs one artist could do it all. But I ask the question, WHY?? 

In the professional comic book industry, it is rare to find a book completely done by simply ONE artist. Hell, due to deadlines alone, you have an inker that you may or may not get along with. You have a writer that

you will bang your head against a wall with his thinking. You then have the colorist who pretty much can

make or break your picture. But here and now in the shallow pool of talent here in the city, you have

DIVA syndrome. And trust me, I'm so damn sick of it.

Q

Manx (2012 rendition)T

I actually came up with the concept of this guy back in the highschool era. I created a character off of the highschool quarter back at the time.

Old character with new spin off sketch. Enjoy!

Excited!!!

I have made the choice to go into comic book illustration. I am stoked because I know its a tough field for many and can be very competitive. I think I will make good choices and be on top. Wish me luck friends! -Q-

Inkblots

I refer to inkblots as using ball point pen for a different type of art. I learned this technique from three wonderful past friends. I will be exploring this for the rest of the month.
