And now, for a change of pace, ...Adrift (IF)

Hey there! Wanted to experiment a little this week with Illustration Friday. Found some spare time between projects to put this together. Tried a whole lot of different things!

First, the concept is a complete departure from my usual work (where are the animals?!) - I went for a more serious approach, as oppose to my usual humorous takes. This also gave me an excuse to sketch form reference I took at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (so awesome).

I also spent time draining the image of setting, which I usually dig. The result is a much more cerebral illustration. Fun project, might try something like it again some time.

SPEED ILLO- Illustation Friday: Clumsy

So, I felt like a challenge tonight! This piece was started at 9 pm this evening. I went from concept to this in that time. I've decided to post it to make sure I get it in on deadline, but hope to continue refining it later- what a rush!

At any rate, Lady Gaga's tailor is looking awfully clumsy here. Just sayin'

Illustration Friday: Undone

Did triple duty today- Haven't done Illustration Friday in waaay too long- but didn't have time to do a whole image and also get my next animal done for Animals in Suits. So I figured let's do both in one image, and also produce a new political illo as well, why not? At any rate the theme is "undone" so I decided to show the Democratic Donkey being "undone" by one of the usual attack lines Republicans use- weakness on National Defense. Can't say I agree, but makes for a fun exercise none the less.
