another JCS doodle

oh and here's another

A little Cosette doodle based off the iconic illustration:

Still drawing a lot of Jesus Christ Superstar related things so 

HE HAS IT COMING

HE HAS IT COMING

THIS JESUS HAS IT COMING ALL ALLLOOONGGG

The weird. . construction. .  . thing that the Pharisees stand on in the 1970 JCS Movie reminds me a lot of Cell Block Tango from Chicago so.

and here's Josh Young being sassy and fabulous I love him

Well here's the only real "project" I've done this summer! A fake cover for my favorite book, "Les Miserables" by Victor Hugo! 

(ha as if you couldn't tell it was my favorite based off this blog right)

wow so I recently have gotten into "Jesus Christ Superstar", after YEARS of mericlessly mocking it because i mean it's called "Jesus Christ Superstar". 

But then I gave it a listen and WoW its actually really good. 

An Update!

I haven't posted much on here for a while, mainly because I've been in Memphis, TN at MCA's Summer Academy!

I have class everyday from 9-4, so I've been pretty busy! I'll try to post some of the work I've done here (mostly small watercolors and just small projects really) as soon as I can!

Until then, I might do some doodle posts! And that gif tutorial is coming soon I promise! :D

Enjolras is very passionate about freedom

JAVERT

COLM Wilkinson 

Some more gifs! I do these all in photoshop, if you're curious. Anyone be interested in a tutorial?

Some Phantom and Les Mis gif doodles! 

A POTO/LM comic! This is actually supposed to be apart of a scrapbook to be given to John Owen-Jones (currently the Phantom on the 25th Anniversary Tour, and was Valjean in the Les Mis 25th Anniversar tour!) 

Week 2 for the CCAD sketch group! This week's prompt was to design a monster based off the monster generator. I got: "Pleasant bear girl who wears fall clothing and likes fish."

For the fall clothing bit, I googled "fall clothing lines" and tried to find something that matched the character description.

 I used the middle as inspiration. 

LOOK I animated a thing.

Usually my animations include some sort of les mis character dancing and/or stripping so this was a nice change of pace. 

As promised awhile ago, here's a process post!

Russell Crowe as Javert!

Ok here we have the lineart. Beneath this is a plethora of crappy sketches trying to get the anatomy somewhat correct.  For this I used the custom brush stumpy pencil. As you can see I have my reference images to the right. I scrapped the taco hat because I just frankly hate it when Javert has the tricorn and I do what I want.

OK base colors! I do each color on a sperate layer beneath the lineart. I use a custom brush I made myself. It's kinda like watercolor but not really. 

OK here's where stuff starts looking better.  I add the details to the colors, using the same brush as before.

OK here I added the "halo" and the text. The text is hand written, which I'm insanely proud of to be honest. 

OK now I added the texture. To me, it just helps things look a bit more unified and colors look blended. I use a black and white water color texture that I set to overlay on top of all the other layers. I then adjust the contrast, as the texture usually makes the image look a bit too bright. 

A viloa! We're done! Hope you found that informative, whoever you are.

"Phobia"

I decided to start my own sketch group for the 2016 CCAD Class facebook page! First week's prompt is "phobia". I might still do the prompts from that other sketch group if I have the time (this weeks prompt is "An Ideal Meal" and I have something in mind, plus I don't draw food that often so I'd like that challenge).

Anyway art school (and college in general) is really freaking me out right now.

Self Portrait

Ok so I'm somewhat mooching off the prompts of this sketch blog (run by a bunch of artists way more talented than me).

But hey I need the motivation to get something somewhat finished done a week so.

there was time when love was blind

and the world was a song

and the song was exciting

there was a time

then it all went wrong

Kinda making "les mis characters based off the movie with a grey background and white text" a series.
But yes here's Anne Hathaway as Fantine. I don't know what happened with this but ugh it took forever and I just wasn't happy with it no matter what I did but whateverrr.

I'm going to do Javert/Russell Crowe next. Might screen cap my process and post it here. Stay tuned!

A Phantom of the Opera comic! 

Just some fanart for the new Les Mis movie! The trailer looks phenomenal and I cried just a bit a lot.

I'll get back into posting more art from this past year. Soon! Might do another doodle post, since that's most of what I've done this summer in terms of "art".
