Memorial Day Delay

I meant to post this for Memorial Day weekend, but my home computer was on the fritz again:

Go Speed Racer, Go!

I drew this today for a raffle at my wife's school this week:

I cut a lot of corners to get it done on time, but it came out alright.

Wizard & Glass Process #3

Started roughing in Roland today:

Getting back into the swing of things today - I managed to finish the background for the image I started last week. Here it is with the sketch lines taken out:

Time Out

I'll be out of town for some family related matters for the rest of the week. Enjoy the work of some artists far better than I am in the mean time:

First, just a loose sketch to lay everything out:



By the end of lunch today I had quite a bit of the background laid in. I'm just working my way from back to front on this, trying to balance things as I go:
