Harry Potter and the Cartoon Grim!

the Last Book :(

Err..it's kinda in there ^ ^

Saturday day night I was listening to my copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows while working on the image below this text. I also had a bad cough so I decide cold beverages weren't the way to go so I brewed some tea. And when I was through with my drink I was surprised to see a CARTOON GRIM staring back at me! You can see his two ears, two bushy black eye brows(I assume only cartoon Grims have eye brows ^ ^) and his snout ending in a black nose which is a bit obscured by the glare in the photo. Perhaps because it was 4am or because of the euphoria that is J.K.Rowling and Harry Potter I was extremely pleased to see this dark yet cartoony omen. Or perhaps because it was 4am I went completely mental. I don't rule that out. ^ ^ I have since then completed the book which I really enjoyed. Perhaps the Grim symbolized the end of all our adventures along Harry's side. I will greatly miss new adventures with Mrs. Rowlings characters.. :( DEFINITELY NOT NERDY AT ALLL!

And on a more solemn note here is something I most likely did for nothing. I feel like no matter how much care or passion I put into what I am doing I'm thwarted again and again. I assume that people who draw stick figures or to those enthawled with sloppy brush strokes and no desire for anything that resembles draftsmanship that notion may sound falsely modest. I'm just tired of making fluff. But, there is always my graphic novel Fading Oasis and that makes me happy enough . OH! ..and good news! The COMIC CON IS THIS WEEK!!!!! ^ ^

Get Cho COMIC CON on!

~
I reallly don't like to throw around the word 'BOOYAW'! But, the Comic Con is just so bleedin fun! Hope to meet an absurd amount of artists and art books! To my imaginary friends that read this slow motion blog, who all are going !! ? !!

And so this post isn't a complete waste..here's something recent.

W.i.P.

This is a work in progress(note the lack of legs and ground O O). My good homie Jaime Jones did a paint over for me(see the 2nd image). He mentioned the monster's arm on the right is a bit distracting and the guy's perspective on the right is a bit off compared to the rest of the characters. I'll do what I can to fix that up, but I really need to just finish this tragedy and move on to the next. This was the first of a couple of images I was going to whip up to show to the Magic the Gathering AD to hopefully get some some card illustration freelance. At 26 I just got my first car and that loan could use some chunks knocked out of it. ^ ^
