Mother of all Others Head Studies

2011-06-07T23:34:00.000-07:00

I figured that since I'm doing a set of Others that I really needed to do The Man In Black and Jacob's Mother since MIB was part of the original Others. and Jacob lead the Others during the current stories. I'm not happy with the first page of head studies, but with the second I feel I'm getting closer to what Alison Janney looks like.

Lost: Karl Martin

2011-06-02T23:14:00.000-07:00

I made him tall and gangly but still a little muscle. Oh and can't forget his Room 23 Glasses! Great for brainwashing even the most stubborn Hostile or love sick teenager!

Tom Friendly Head Roughs

2011-05-20T12:49:00.001-07:00

Im currently designing Tom Friendly from Lost. I was just going to do the Hobo version, but I think that I might just also design the non bearded version and make that as a free bonus card for anyone who orders the set in place of the usual free print.

Mikhail Bakunin

2011-05-17T23:01:00.000-07:00

Mikhail Bakunin Heads

2011-05-17T21:55:00.000-07:00

Some studies to capture the likeness of Mikhail Bakunin.

Ethan Rom Heads

2011-05-17T21:46:00.000-07:00

These were rough studies to figure out Ethan's likeness.

David Robert Jones Pastel Portrait Color Corrected

2011-05-09T23:40:00.001-07:00

I color Corrected the David Robert Jones Pastel Drawing in order to remove that line since I had to scan it in two parts. I also tweeked the contract and brightness.

Ethan Rom

2011-05-04T00:07:00.001-07:00

Ethan is my most favorate Other after Ben So I felt it fitting to design him first before the others for a 9 card pack of Others. Mikhail, Tom (not sure if I'm going to do Hobo Tom or regular), Dogen, Lennon, Goodwin, Cindy, Alex, & Karl. (Some of these might change.)

LOST: Ethan Rom Rough

2011-04-25T16:17:00.000-07:00

I'm starting a set of Others cards and Ethan has always been one of my favorate Others. He made it seem almost like the Others had super strength with his beating up Jack, lifting Charlie into a hangmans rope, etc. Ben was great because of his sneekyness, but Ethan was more brute power it seemed at first.

Sawyer Uppercut

2011-04-13T22:59:00.000-07:00

Playing with my Sawyer design from LOST

Bullets and Broken Hearts Roughs

2011-04-13T22:53:00.000-07:00

These are some really rough sketches that I made to play with ideas for the Bullets illustration. I really like this poster idea, but it didn't emphasize Fauxlivia like the one that I went with.

Bullets and Broken Hearts

2011-04-08T00:02:00.000-07:00

I wanted to do a Fringe poster in a Film Noir style and I felt that Wherever She Went She Left Behind A Trail of Bullets and Broken Hearts fit Fauxlivia from the first half of season 3 perfectly. This was sketched out and then cleaned up and colored in Adobe Illustrator.

FRINGE Trading Cards Back

2011-03-14T22:59:00.000-07:00

The LOST Trading Car to compare it to.

FRINGE Trading Cards Comming Soon!

2011-03-11T11:50:00.000-08:00

This is the front side of the FRINGE Trading Cards that I'm working on. When I eventually make Alternate character cards the borders will be red. Observers and First People will possibly also have their oven colors. Feedback is welcome!

This is the LOST Trading Card for Comparison.

David Robert Jones Pastel Portrait

2011-03-10T23:52:00.000-08:00

The original is 11 by 14 and my scanner is 8.5 by 11 so unfortunately I had to scan two parts and piece them together.

FRINGE: David Robert Jones

2011-03-08T21:32:00.000-08:00

David Robert Jones is my favorite villain on Fringe, he's up there with Ben from Lost and Lionel Luthor from Smallville. Just like them it's really fun to watch him be evil. I gave him the lightbox test that he had Olivia take.

Last year my computer died on me. I was able to retrieve most of my files because of back-ups and with the help of a friend with great computer skills. Unfortunately there were a few that I wasn't able to get back. So I had to reclean-up those along with a few other LOST designs. One the left is the original design taken low res from my blog, on the right is the new version.

I'm feeling pretty good about this one, I need to figure out a price and a few other things and I will be putting this on sale at Room 23 Store.

Lost Hatch Shaped Trading Card Holder Second Draft

2010-12-03T22:43:00.001-08:00

I created this second draft a month or two ago and I felt good about it, but there was definitely a number of little things that bugged me about it. So after that I worked to make things fit together better, and streamlined it for a quicker production.

Astrid, Broyles & Nina Roughs

2010-10-07T22:49:00.000-07:00

Pencil Layouts of 3D Paper Hatch

2010-08-14T00:39:00.000-07:00

I just got done laying out the design of each piece and scanned it in. Next I will clean up and color it in Illustrator. After that print it off and put it together and keep making tweaks until I feel good about it.

Bottom area
Circle area is where the Hatch will rest and the half circle is where the Outer walls will stand.

Outer left side

Dirt Walls

Outer Right Side
Hatch Lid and Connector Pieces. The Hatch door will be a removable lid. The connectors go from the Hatch to the Outer dirt walls.

The Hatch Trading Cards Holder

2010-07-31T22:15:00.000-07:00

This is what I'm currently working on for the next Room 23 Store product. Its a 3 Dimensional holder for the Lost Trading Cards in the shape of the Dharma Swan Hatch outside. This is a very rough one, I saved and used mistake Trading card sheets to experiment. I'm working on streamlining it. Then I plan on drawing out the details on each piece, then color and cleaning them up in Illustrator. Then once I can figure out how to mass produce them and find an adequate box to ship it cheaply enough, but that's durable, I plan on adding it to my store.

I did this way back near the end of season 2 when I first started to design Lost characters when I was playing with both Photoshop and Illustrator (which I settled on) Theres some major neck/head problems, but I like the feeling of it.

Olivia Dunham in Color

2010-03-13T00:21:00.000-08:00

I tried a slightly different style, more edges and curls which I think has a better look to it for Fringe. I'm currently working on reworking my Hoofprints Sketchbook and my Fringe and Glee designs are going in it.

Penny Cleaned Up

2010-03-10T22:19:00.000-08:00

I finally got around to cleaning my Penny design up. Next Im going to clean up my Olivia, Peter and walter Fringe designs. Im currently doing roughs of Jacob, The Man in Black and Eloise Hawkings.

Libby

2010-02-25T00:42:00.000-08:00

This one took me awile. Not really on cleaning up and coloring, but just getting to it with all of the card production and filling orders. But things have slowed down a bit, so besides revamping my Hoofprints Sketchbook Im also in the process of cleaning up and coloring Penny from Lost, Olivia, Peter and Walter from Fringe and Will, Rachel, Finn and Sue from Glee. Im also in the process of designing Jacob, The Man in Black and Eloise from Lost. The Lost designs will go into more cards and the Fringe and Glee will go into Hoofprints.

Lost Pop-Up Christmas Card

2009-12-19T15:25:00.000-08:00

Every year I create a Pop-Up Christmas Card to give to friends and contacts in the Animation industry. This year I decided to create a Lost themed card. I'm actually thinking of making a bunch of them and selling them in my store sometime next year.

Penny Rough

2009-11-17T23:46:00.000-08:00

Libby

2009-11-15T00:21:00.000-08:00

I actually like this one. I figured to stop fighting the hair and just put it in a ponytail since thats how she looked during most of her island time.

Charlotte & Libby

2009-11-12T22:37:00.000-08:00

Im feeling good about this Charlotte.

Think I need another pass on Libby.

Refining Olivia, Peter and Walter

2009-11-12T22:29:00.000-08:00

I've been watching the episode "The Arrival" on my new season 1 set and Walters food request was a Rootbeer Float. I decided to give him one.
I love Peter's half trenchcoat jacket that he's been wearing this season

I started just having Olivia hold some folders, but decided that she also needed a gun.

Penny Widmore Rough

Olivia Dunham and Walter Bishop Roughs

Fringe: Peter Bishop Rough

2009-11-03T22:37:00.000-08:00

I kind of like the direction this is going, but want to push things more.

Libby Rough

2009-11-03T22:29:00.000-08:00

Not quite happy about this one, but I think its a little progress.

Charlotte Rough

2009-10-28T23:21:00.000-07:00

Olivia, Peter and Walter

2009-10-28T21:55:00.001-07:00

Thought that besides Charlotte, Libby and Penny I would branch out and also design some Fringe characters. Eventually I want to design some Flashforward and Glee characters also. Walter is so fun to draw.

A Penny for your thoughts?

2009-10-28T21:54:00.001-07:00

Another rough of Penny

Charlotte, Libby, & Penny Roughs

2009-10-26T22:56:00.000-07:00

I'm already starting on new designs for Volume 2 of my Room 23 Sketchbook. I figured that I would start with Charlotte since I've done all of the Freighter Four except her, Libby, because I really like her and Penny, since you can't have Desmond without his Penny. Plus if I do some Flashforward designs I just need to throw a Hospital uniform on her.
Charlotte, Libby and Penny I still want to play with shapes and push things.

Smoke Monster in Color
