cont. Donkey cowboy

So now I’ve fully developed this idea of a donkey cowboy. But now he’s a sheriff. And the coyote is still just a bad guy. I really like how this is coming along, it’s nice to work on something different. And I think that’s the biggest lesson I’ve learned from this. When I was in class listening to all the other ideas for this project I realized, “man, I always do stuff JUST like that, do I always do typical shit like everyone else?!?” and I dooo… it’s always some post-apocalyptic war torn city blah blah. I mean that stuff is really cool, and it IS a really common element in movies and crap. But what i realize that I need to set my self apart. So why not a sheriff donkey and robbing coyote? And let me tell you, NO ONE had anything even close to the same idea.

Any way. This is my new goal. “Don’t do the crap that you always do!”

I KNOW! i know. it's been a while

So... hey blog... what’s up? I...uh... I know it's been a while. Hope we're still cool. We’re cool right?

I’ve been reviewing last semester in my head and saying, man, WHEN will I find time to post all the work I’ve been doing?!? And, I quickly realize that I really don’t have much to show for… which sucks pretty hard. But I do have one or two things I can post. Which will hopefully follow shortly


But on the other hand! This years summer session I feel that I’ve been doing pretty well. I’m taking color and design and below you will find the exploration of my latest assignment. This project was major specific, so since im visual development, which falls into the illustration category, my project is heavily based on some kind of story. And with the help of my beautiful creative girlfriend, and a growing interest in cowboys, we came up with the idea of a donkey cowboy as the main character. And now that I have a character in mind, I need a setting. At this stage I just need roughs, but by tomorrow afternoon I’ll need to finalize the composition. Still working out the kinks of the story… such as what IS the story. Haha. Anyway. Here’s progress for now.

ok, it's not all donkey, there's a little bit of serpent mixed in too.
