HAPPY HALLOWEEN: Charlie's Broomstick High Speed Chase

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Last of the Charlie Halloween Pen and Ink Series:

Charlie's Jack O' Lantern Resident

Back from my alumni activities over the weekend and back to the grind.

Third in my Halloween themed series using my rabbit character, Charlie. This one uses neither a watercolor effect or color to effect like the first two, but black line simply being itself.

Figure into Style Studies/ Alumni Weekend

Some figure studies based on photos from past live model photo shoots. Experimented in watercolor pencil to merge the form and composition a bit.

     
In other news I will be up in Rochester starting tomorrow for a fun weekend of alumni activities at my old college,  so the next Charlie Halloween illustration will be a day later than my usual posting schedule.

Lokrum Story Concept: Red Cap Castle

Quick watercolor sketch from last night of the castle that my Red cap creatures inhabit, an armored fortress built on a ridge, based on an actual structure found in Dubrovnik and various Bosnian ruins. I did one similar to this posted on here but wasn't happy with the results then.

Lokrum Story Concepts: Imp Redesign

Another acrylic moleskine sketch done in the same manner as the last time I painted my wood themed imp character, but touched up digitally in areas, making it mixed media. I always love how mixed media painting turns out, but I always feel that the physically painted original goes to waste after being scanned. Anywho...

Look is more feral than last time, and uses more imagery showing assimilated wood and plantlife she has grafted to make her body appear as it does. Being a young imp, she has yet to craft "wings" that would complete the goofy demonic look her race resembles upon adulthood. Originally I sketched in equine legs to resemble a mythic fawn, but that clashed with the rather lanky child sized build of the figure. Might consider legs similar to birds of prey or bats however in finalization.

Charlie's Bed Monster Movie Night

Another Halloween themed experimental piece of my character Charlie. His "roommate" the monster under his bed sure likes movie nights for the snacks charlie breaks out more or less

Done originally as an ink drawing on board, which unfortunately wasn't hot press as it was advertised on  the back. Digital version done using more experimental washy layers instead of my recent opaque direct painting method.

Playing the Evening Wind, Lokrum Concept painting

Originally part of an acrylic landscape drawing for my Lokrum story, I liked this bit so much that I decided to experiment and paint it digitally, mixing my styles a bit more. 

I also happen to like this iteration of my "imp" race more than the initial design.

Charlie's Trick or Treating mishap

Something festive as we enter October, and more stuff using my character, Charlie. Ink and watercolor linework and washes over pencil, touched up digitally. It was nice doing something not nearly as painterly.
