Indiana Jones.

11x17

Ink on Bristol.

Colored pencil and Digital Zip-a-tone.

Coloring in progress at time of post.
Note:

Jim Steranko was the production illustrator for Raiders of the Lost Ark, just as Ralph McQuarrie was for Star Wars. Steranko describes Indy so, "He's a man of action who carries a whip and a Colt.45, Woody Allen he's not."

Dryads
by Micha F. Lindemans

In Greek mythology, the dryads are female spirits of nature (nymphs), who preside over the groves and forests. Each one is born with a certain tree over which she watches. A dryad either lives in a tree, in which case she is called a hamadryad, or close to it. The lives of the dryads are connected with that of the trees; should the tree perish, then she dies with it. If this is caused by a mortal, the gods will punish him for that deed. The dryads themselves will also punish any thoughtless mortal who would somehow injure the trees.

I put together a quick animation of the process for creating a page from the WCO.

I hope you enjoy!

More WCO on the way. The next two pages are penciled and with Rob for inking. Dan is hard at work on the "file card" information for The Leader and for Calavaras. I have the forth pages half penciled at this time. This is a leisurely project among friends, so please stay tuned!

Final Student Project. Spring 2011.

18x24. Acrylics, Inks, Oil Pastels, and Charcoal on High Quality Art Paper.

I have included the final painting as well as the sketches involved.






































































































































































Student Works. Spring 2011.
























































































































































The Shadow: Dark of Night.

11x17. Ink, Blueline, Photoshop, Printed Digital Zip-A-Tone, and Sand Paper on 80lbs. Xerox Expressions cardstock.

This past week I was thinking about my personal art techniques, and I decided to try a few new things. I haven't draw the Shadow in a while, so I made the decision to use him as the test subject.

I have included the final piece, the color original art scan, and the original sketch.
