Hey Francis, I put a link to this picture in your guestbook, but since you're lurking around here too, I figured I'd let other people take a look.

This was done for my storyboarding class.

Here's a link to a larger version Larger Pic

I hope that works...

[Tinusch]

Those are awesome. Did you do those with colored pencils?

[Lange_Pisang]

How long did this take to complete?
I love it Sedone!
I also have made a storyboard once, but thats' nothing compared to this...:P

Wow. Great stuff!

Very, very nice style/colors/technique/texture/progression/layout...

Thanks for replying, guys! I really am starving for attention, hence my decision to post a picture here. Being an artist is so lonely...

The whole project took way too long, but that's because I was working on other projects at the same time. There are actually 20 panels in all, and they were first drawn in blue-pencil and inked w/tech pens. They're colored w/colored pencils and markers.

If anyone is interested, I could post the remaining panels, and the uncolored pencils.

[The Dude]

Yeah! That would be cool, heh heh heh.

[Francis]

Those are nice! It'd be great to see one or two at high resolution.

And here are some close-ups:



I suppose I've clogged up enough of this thread

wow.. these are damn cool man!

[Kyri]

I love that sketchy style....awsome stuff.

[Francis]

This stuff is terrific.

Have you thought about doing comics? I certainly would buy this if it were a book.

Let's have more!

great boards. I saw on Francis' site that you had mentioned you have more boards. Post em??? Please???
A suggestion, if you have access to a 3d program with camera modes, set up scenes with real basic shapes, i.e. blocks and spheres, etc. Or really primitive street scenes with minimal detail, and place different cameras in it, the bookstore has books on camera work in hollywood, so you can get lens details their. Look through the camera lens view and figure out new ways of seeing the same things your drawing. Be inventive with those angles, like a clever director. Looking through the specific lens will train your eye to see how the camera tweaks perspective, what really is in frame, vs. what the human eye frames and helps you learn to see new angles you never would have thought of with out a camera.
If you don't have access to a 3d program, get out the vcr or dvd player, and watch letterbox movies, so the framing ratio to what the director envisioned and filmed is correct, not cropped. Hit pause on a cool scene and sketch it in a notebook. I always do this when I have a little spare time. It keeps you trained if you don't have the cumfy luxury of a $100,000 movie camera...And practice drawing from life every moment you can get. It makes everything a whole lot eaasier...

Great work...

Sedone, correct me if im wrong, but you seem inspired by one of the best pixel pushers out there (and great!! now I cant rem his name) but he did all the bitmaps for "speedball(x)" and the like, your charectors here remind me of those, and therfore they rock!!!..

You go girl!!

[Sedone]

Zor: Eh?? "You go girl"? Sorry to break it to you, but I'm a guy...it didn't occur to me my name was feminine.

Fred: Good and knowledgeable points. I'm at the point where I've begun thinking more and more about camera shots, angles, and mood. But I still have to make compromises, either due to lack of time, skill, experience, or foresight.

Francis: I originally wanted to be a comics artist, but due to convoluted, soap opera-like events I ended up choosing 3D animation as my major. Go figure.

Thanks for the comments, all. Hopefully I can put a website together with all this artwork, but in the meantime I'll force feed it to you on this messageboard

[Zor]

umm sedone... yes I knew u were a guy.."You go girl" is a statement bro..

Mebee not from where you live. but Oh nevermind...

[Tinusch]

Man... Think you could do a little step-by-step tutorial on how you color like that (with in-progress images)? That's probably the best use of colored pencils and markers I've ever seen...

[Sedone]

Zor, sorry for misunderstanding you, but down here in Texas we don't speak that there weird talk. BTW, what artist are you referring to?

[Qory]

Wow. That's awesome.. I love the way you used the greens/blues, and other less obvious facial colors to capture the mood in this. You really did a great job of bringing out the mood and it looks pretty realistic too! And somehow (beyond my comprehension) you did this all with colors that I cannot for the life of me find in a face. Wierd... oh well, I guess that's what makes you a great artist and what makes me a good prospect for a street bum... Oh yeah, and keep up the great work, because that is AWESOME

Qory

[Zor]

Sedone: np

Well this has been bugging me ALL day!!.. and now I cant even find ref to him either..

Anyhoo, he was the artist that was involved with "the Bitmap Brothers" i Saw his portfolio a while back, and was amazed at what I saw. he has a style simular to you, so its a good thing.. keep it up

hehe Maybe you should work with Synj and make a Animated storyboard..
