Ink warm up

Just a warm-up that I did prior to some inking for a Uniques Tales story. My W&N brushes are officially on my shit list, and I switched half way through the page to some Rapheals I bought as backups last Fall.

Werd.

Nanovor: Prank Week and Hacked!

Image
The mailman has been super nice this week in delivering a few copies of the books that I worked on last Fall and last Spring. Nanovor Hacked!, and Prank Week are both now on shelves, and I have to say that they look GREAT! I put some of my favorites from Prank Week up. I did the drawing, inking and coloring in that one. There should be some from Hacked! buried in my gallery somewhere :) In my opinion the ones in Prank Week turned out much better. And to think, I did them only a few months after the Hacked! ones. Both books I illustrated in a week, each. It was a crazy deadline that almost killed me, so in regards to the amount of time I had on them I'm still, overall, happy how they turned out. Far from perfect, but when you have that much work to do you just have to move on. If anything, it was a great exercise for not sweating the details....because there was no option to :) At any rate, I hope you enjoy the pics I put up. If you have any young readers, pick the book up for them....

The requirements that we had to keep in mind were: 1) We had to guide the user through a checkout experience and 2) we would have to integrate an Internet Of Things aspect as well. My project revolved around a fictional device that my wife and I called the "nodrod". The idea is a device that you would place on your child's ankle or wrist (the band would be expandable), and with an app you would control the amount of Melatonin produced, inducing sleep. As a parent of a child who, seemingly, never sleeps, this would have been amazing :) I went in with a fair amount of humor with the idea, but took the process seriously. Below you can see a product mockup which showcases the t...
