After the helmet question from yesterday’s sketch, I figured some actual faces were in order. Â So I just drew a few different versions, inspired by various photos.

When sketch time came around today, I was listening to Daft Punk’s Tron Legacy soundtrack. The choice was clear.

P.S. I’ve just realized that quite a few of these 365 sketches feature helmets of various kinds (full list here). Could it be because helmets are awesome?

Went with a bunch of other video and visual FX people on a tour of Dreamworks Animation today. Â They do a lot of very cool work there, especially in character design. Â I drew this based on a life-sized statue that was in one of their lobbies.

After watching the BCS title game tonight, I drew this as a tribute to Auburn’s win over Oregon. Â I’d considered drawing something based on the mascots — something more needlessly visceral, like a tiger actually devouring a duck — but this was just a lot quicker and easier.

I don’t know why it’s taken so long, but I finally got around to watching In the Shadow of the Moon today. Â A great piece of documentary filmmaking.
I guess in a way this is a companion piece to yesterday’s sketch: Â science fiction vs. science fact.

P.S. Yes, I believe they actually did it.

Did this one as a counterpart to last week’s “Back in Black” sketch. Â Just a little tribute to everyone’s favorite bumbling footsoldiers.

Well, after the last few days of back-and-forth, I’ve decided to hang onto this for now.

The corporate sellers of this house have countered again. Â I’m running out of visual metaphors here.

P.S. Yes, that’s a hint of pregnancy belly showing on my wife.

We’ve submitted an offer on a house, and now comes the counter offer. Â We’ll see how this works out.
