Them Bones

So maintaing the feel of digital oriented art work I had a go at designing this little number today. Should you have time or feel constructive, then any criticism/ feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!
 

I believe them bones are me
Some say we're born into the grave
I feel so alone
Gonna end up a big ole pile a them bones


Dust rise right on over my time
Empty fossil of the new scene
I feel so alone
Gonna end up a big ole pile a them bones

Toll due bad dream come true
I lie dead gone under red sky
I feel so alone
Gonna end up a big ole pile a them bones

Jane Says

 

Jane says
I'm done with Sergio
He treats me like a ragdoll
She hides
The television
Says I don't owe him nothing,
But if he comes back again
Tell him to wait right here for me
Or just
Try again tomorrow
I'm gonna kick tomorrow
Gonna kick tomorrow

Jane says
Have you seen my wig around?
I feel naked without it
She knows
They all want her to go
But that's O.K. man
She dont like them anyway
Jane says
She's goin away to spain
When she gets my money saved
I'm gonna start tomorrow
I'm gonna kick tomorrow
Gonna kick tomorrow

She gets mad
Starts to cry
She takes a swing but
She cant hit
She don't mean no harm
She just don't know
What else to do about it

Jane goes
To the store at 8:00
She walk up on St. Andrews
She waits
And gets her dinner there
She pulls her dinner
From her pocket
Jane says
I've never been in love
I don't know what it is
Only knows if someone wants her
I want them if they want me
I only know they want me

She gets mad
And she starts to cry
She takes a swing man
She cant hit!
She don't mean no harm
She just dont know
What else to do about it

Sketchbook stuff and other projects

As the title suggests! Here is a collection of other projects and personal stuff that I have done in my own time over the years.

FANTASTIC!!! .... Four!

Yes, yes! The Marvel classic team of superheroes.... Only revamped. This is actually an oldish project that I did last year. Each member is given an additional element to represent themselves such as The Thing - Wood, Human Torch - Fire, Mr Fantastic - Water and Sue Storm - Air.

The characters should visualise this. Anyhow each character was created for the purpose of being illustrated on a comic cover so the first 4 images are the final designs on the correct dimensions.

Now that thats done, developmental work!!! :-

First is Human Torch, built out of Super Sculpey!!!! There were lots of photos of trial and error, too much that I care not to share on here but hey I think this selection showcases the various aspects of development of the character.

Mr Fantastic was designed of the purest of intentions to model him on myself. So what you see here are illustrations of myself in various posies.

The Thing was actually the most fun I had at developing. I based the initial concepts on a combintaion of a tree and the ABC Warrior from Judge Dredd. Funny isn't it how the end result looks nothing like the original designs but showcases a journey through visual development.

Lastly there is Sue Storm aka The Invisible Woman. For this I wanted to have the character naked to give the impression all her clothes were 'invisible' however this idea was quickly frowned upon so I had to improvise. One of these designs (inparticular the lingerie one) had received critical feedback, too much positive criticism. I particularly agreed and included this in my portfolio. I shall place this image first thereafter is the rest of the development:

 One more thing I should have mentioned at the start of this is the importance of type! Each visual had to incorporate the use of type that why all final four covers look the way they do. Keep this in mind when looking at the similarities of the Invisible Woman prototype covers.

And we are done!
