WORK IN PROGRESS: FASTER DINOSAUR! KILL! KILL!

I've had to stop work on this while I concentrate on a paid assignment, but I thought I'd post what I've got so far. I started it with the idea of entering a contest but I think it will take longer than the contest's deadline. It's kind of a riff on a Russ Meyer theme.. what would a Russ Meyer/Ray Harryhousen have looked like if it had ever happened.

Obviously it needs much more work. What do you think so far?


I've been here and there. I've drawn a lot of pictures. I've written a bit, too. I'm not good at this self-promotion thing. Look, you want to know about me? just visit these websites. Okay?

SPACE

...the Final Frontier and all that. Yeah...

I've been trying to bulk up my portfolio. Unfortunately there are no steroids that can help with that. I just gotta do and make sure it's all good.

Im quite happy with this one although the title is rather unimaginative. I wanted it to look like it wouldn't be out of place on the cover of ANALOG or ASIMOV'S SCIENCE FICTION. What do you think? This picture is heavily influenced by Vincent DiFate and the late Robert McCall.

MOODY GUY

Where did this guy come from? Who is he? I don't know, but this is about as "pastel" as I get.

This is the result of tooling around in Painter. All done on one layer. No preconceptions. He just kind of appeared. He looks kind of "Gothic" like the beetle-browed moody hero of some 18th century gothic romance.

That's as much insight as I have. What about you?

WHAT'S THIS?

Here's a picture I did using Corel Painter.

What's it all about? Who's that guy with the hat? Who is the woman with the scars over her eyes? Who is the woman holding the skull?

What's going on here?

I know. But I'm not telling. Yet
