Unfinished projects week, part 4

Dec 04, 2008 08:22

This week, I am posting bunch of illustrations that I never finished. I have a tendency to start projects, then get busy with something important (like my kids or my job). By the time I get time to work the illustration again, I get blocked since I ask myself, "what if my brush stroke looks different that the rest of the piece?" This week is to ( Read more... )

WOW. This is REALLY beautiful! Was it at a zoo, or botanical garden, or...? What kind of brush or pen do you use? The detail here is fantastic! It looks like there was a piece of paper blocking out a large section of the scene. Were you going to put the robots there?

Oh I see, it's a "tree museum"?! I thought those only existed in Joni Mitchell songs!

Thank you for your praise. I guess now I feel less embarrassed now. I kind of felt they were half dressed and I was showed a half naked drawing. Now I feel good that even uncompleted that people still manage to appreciate them ( ... )

I am really enjoying "Unfinished Projects" week. I can definitely relate to your "what if my brush stroke looks different that the rest of the piece?" comment. I am starting work on page 61 of a story I haven't worked on in over a year and those are my thoughts exactly. I really like this drawing in particular precisely because of all the detail.

Thanks. I think it was the amount of detail was the triumph and downfall of this illustration. If I only had more time and less detail I would have actually have finished this comic. But yet, with out all the detail, it would not have looked half as good. Damn you, temporal restraints. Why can I not live in the world of an artist and in the real world of responsibilities at the same time.

please finish this... we need a "the future is so futuristical" revival!

Umm, maybe ... it has been over two years since anybody has done one. I figured if I was going to work on an unfinished comic, it would be "Thinking About ...". I did draw 6.5 pages and the cover for that one (which is the farthest I have ever gotten with any comic one my own), but yet everybody already forgot that one.

i didn't forget that one... finish that one first, then this one. haha.

Sigh! So I have to finish Thinking About and The Future is so Futuristical? I guess you will want me to finish Norlin Voyage after that ... what about all the dozens of scripts I wrote out? Not to mention all the hundreds of ideas I never even wrote.

Sure ... just do not expect them any time soon. :P
