I've opened up a TeePublic storefront. They have a great site and I've read nothing but great things and there's some great artists on there. I took an old sketch that I wanted to turn into a t-shirt, finished it up and bam, Hat Robot! I am excited to be able to design some shirts, I hope I can let my imagination go wild and come up with some great ideas. I have a couple thematic ideas, maybe to do series of shirts. I'm sure lots of my favorite themes will show up, skulls, luchadors, robots, dinosaurs, etc... </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started drawing the Little Knight book over 19 months ago and it's very encouraging the amount of improvement I've seen in myself. I've been drawing day in and day out at work for years already, but drawing for yourself in one consistent style all the time you figure out more about that style.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I started this project the idea was to do it in a more simple style but at first the concept of simple threw me. I had only drawn most of these characters a few times and only a dozen or so illustrations in this style. Now I'm almost 150 pages into the comic and I not only better understand the style, but also what I want from my characters and my drawings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At first simple meant less anatomy, bolder lines and shapes with the idea to sell the story with character design and solid storytelling and avoiding over rendering things, a concern of mine. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The above panels show a page from the first week of drawing the book. I remember I even wrestled with the full figure of Odric. He's marching towards his enemy, angrily calling him out. I remember not being 100% about the final but didn't want to waste time and kept moving forward. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I saw this page recently, and as a reward for working hard I allowed myself to spend some time redoing the figures. (Yes, I reward my work with more work because fun is fun.) When I tell people I plan on redoing a lot of the figures from the first 20 or so pages of the book I often get warned about falling into that trap. Redoing pages can keep things from ever getting done and can become a never ending process. I've seen this happen and have done it before myself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now ask any artist and they'd probably be willing to redo many pages they've done before. I've seen lots of comics where the creator gets a better handle of drawing his characters and I like seeing that evolution. Look at early Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts or Usagi Yojimbo. It's not wildly different but you can tell they're still getting a handle on it. However, with all I have learned about drawing my characters and my style, and with the idea of keeping things consistent for the final product, I still plan on touching up my characters in the early pages. It won't even be too time consuming because I did the inks digitally</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's the new version of the two panels from Page 8 that I redrew on Friday. I think it's much more bold and powerful. There is much more implied anatomy and shape to the figure. Plus it's just a more interesting drawing. Same with the eyes. I didn't feel like I needed to redraw that panel, but I wanted to see how much better it would look if I did. It took about half the time as it did the first time, probably 15 minutes, and I think it's a major improvement too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Still a simple style but instead I am using the simplicity to my benefit. Implied anatomy gives the figure more shape and more bulk, and the expression is more exaggerated and interesting. Both add to the character and the storytelling so it's win/win.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I added notes to block out the scene on their own layer too. When I lay it out into comic pages the action might change and you might not even get to see everything I added in this drawing but it's a concept drawing. I try to get a lot of ideas out there, even if I don't use them all, or just hint at them, I want to know whats going on in my location. </div>

You can see here now the water goes a long the center, and also acts like a magical elevator for the Ornan's. I love drawing an entire place with people who are just living their lives, their little shops and homes, and the way their village works (magic).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />

My Megaman illustration was picked to be in the <a href="http://www.udoncomics.com/blog/">Udon </a>Megaman Tribute Book! I am super excited to get the book, and it comes out soon and isn't hard to get. The book is premiering at the San Diego Comic-con at the UDON booth (#5037), July 20-24 and for fans not attending the show, you can preorder the book at <a href="http://www.blogger.com/(http://www.udonstore.com/Mega-Man-Tribute-HC-Udon-Store-Exclusive-p/mega-man-tribute-exclusive-hc.htm%20)">UDONstore.com</a>. If you want to get the standard softcover edition, it is available to preorder now at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/1926778308?tag=udoent-20&camp=14573&creative=327641&linkCode=as1&creativeASIN=1926778308&adid=0DS0GBZB0YWZK4H62YZM&">amazon.com</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When I was a kid I used to draw Megaman a lot so I've always been a fan of the original design for him. He has a simple design, but I like how effective a solid simple character design can be. Plus he has a great cast of side characters and villains to draw. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Even though I wanted to draw as many bad guys as possible, I also didn't want to do the standard Megaman fighting a giant robot/many robots bosses. I figured a lot of people would have covered that and probably really well. I was right. But this way I still got to draw a lot of different Megaman things and I thought it was a fun idea. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This book is going to be cool. I'd be excited to get it even if I wasn't in it, so if you're a fan of Megaman, or good illustration check it out. You can find a lot of other pieces that are in the book online on <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/">DeviantArt</a> or on <a href="http://rampagedreality.com/tagged/udon">Rampaged Reality</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I worry that I will post stuff and it will spoil the story for readers, but I've realized lately that most people won't remember all this stuff and it probably won't spoil the story for anyone to see a few panels I drew and wanted to share. </div>Ben Dalehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13409971525025776060noreply@blogger.com0
