Fruit of My Labor

OK OK clearly this was not done on a napkin.  Today however I wanted to show how helpful and awesome this whole napkin art thing is. For those of you who have read some of these posts you may know I am in the process of writing a iOS video game. Last week I posted some napkin art that I did on a few off minutes at work. The content was a couple of rough ideas for a couple characters in the game. I got some very positive feedback about 2 of my sketches and some negative feedback about one and to be fair I agreed with the negative one. The point is that this forum gave me some input on something i have been working on solo and I found it refreshing, helpful and quite honestly relieving to hear that the support was there.  So thanks for that.

From there I also wanted to give you guys a peek at what a more polished product looks like but still starts here in the sketch and test phase. Keep in mind this may not be the final character design for this dude but I am confident it is not going to change too much. Either way I thought it might be interesting for people to see the current product of this;

So again thanks in general for humouring me and allowing me this forum to test out ideas and generally have fun with it and please any and all criticism is welcome positive and negative (as long as it is still constructive).

Not Quite Van Gogh

My favorite artist of all time is Vincent Van Gogh. No. Freaking. Contest. As such I tried to do a sunflower....

but didn't have a picture or any sort of reference material on hand just kind of a hazy memory of what a sunflower should look like..... wow was i wrong hahaha. But still was fun to do and i might go back to this again try and do it right. also like the clouds and shading on the vase .

Hotbox Hank Prelim

I am currently working on a video game for iOS and am at the stage where I am doing some preliminary sketches and concept work for some different characters so i figured i would share some of that with you guys via some Napkin Art.

The game is a somewhat snarky game lots of satire and sarcasm as such a bunch of characters are hyped up stereotypes. This gentleman here is "Hotbox Hank"

Tom

usually I tend not to draw people that I know. unless you have a lot of time to make mistakes and erase and start again I find it can be quite difficult and at the end of it whoever you drew thinks that is how you see them. All in all it is a lot of pressure and i try to avoid it as much as possible.

That being said here is one of the security guard I work with lol. And at the end of the day he was happy with the results so all's well that ends well. :)

Jager Bombbbs!

Note to self; Never draw plaid on a napkin again. sooo time consuming without ripping the napkin to shreds. I like how the drinks and bar turned out though. Also Jager Bombs FTW.

Wavy Hair

In the same vein as the last post this one was about trying something new. trying to get my hair to look a little more 3 dimensional. so putting the hair in overlapping contour sections. Turned out nicely in some areas not so much in others definitely worth more experimenting though.
