#85 – Good for food *and* pleasant to the eyes!

Pomegranate tree

This is part of an unfinished digital illustration assignment.  Yet to be added: serpent and upward-reaching woman.

#84 – We gonna rock down to

Electrical partsAnother very quick end-of-day doodle.  Just a little visual recap of some of the things I was working on today.

Oh, wait; I guess I already did better versions of a couple of these.

#76 – Urban Hipster Weirdo

Urban hipster weirdo

Another quick little pen sketch, with body posture based on a magazine photo. Somewhere along the way, I must have decided this guy needed an awkward beard, horn-rimmed glasses, and a mildly disaffected expression. Worked out to be sort of a hipster trifecta.

#73 – Jeff Bezos got nuthin’ on this

Amazon women

Quick sketches of an Amazon warrior (the “sexy dame” kind, not this kind).  These are actually little exploratory concepts for another NASA/JPL project, believe it or not.

#71 – Hyperdramatic self-pity

Digital self portraitThis is the self-portrait concept I did for class (based on Sketches #65 & #70).  It ended up being a lot more pathetic-looking than originally intended.  I wasn’t trying to be such a sad sack — just trying to illustrate the occasional frustration with creative blocks and/or not being artistically proficient enough to execute my concepts the way I want to.

But enough whining.  The only thing that will fix that is more sketching…

More badges

Another little bunch of icons I’m creating for work.  These are connected to Sketch #44 — more spacenerd stuff.

#46 – “The moon belongs to America…”

Astronauts“…and anxiously awaits the arrival of our astro-men!”  (Name that quote.)

Actually, this is just another little thing I’m working on for JPL. I was just trying to get the positioning figured out for a little web graphic.  This wasn’t designed as a sketch for this project, but I’m busy, so it’ll do!

#44 – Stinking badges

Badges prototypeStarted sketching some ideas for some badge icons for a NASA/JPL website.  These refer to very specific nerd things, so I won’t be offended if you don’t get them.  They’ll make marginally more sense when all 66(!) are finished.
