New, quick, sketches. Both of them are just heads… I’m thinking it might be time to do a collage of sorts, with a bunch of creature heads on pikes.

I’ve been so incredibly busy between Savvy-U, Innovocus and Janos that I have not been sketching… SUCK!

So, while on the biweekly Janos conference call, I sketched in my note pages. The conversation was great, there are many wonderful things happening with Janos, but I needed to sketch!

This first guy here needs a sword, a bandanna and a salty growl to his voice and he’d go a plunderin with the Pirates of the Caribbean.

Or maybe he is a minion of Cthulhu… It is so hard to distinguish from the various tentacled monsters, demons and demi-gods. After awhile they all just start to look like each other.

The second dude here is a demon with either stubby or broken horns. he also seems to have a rather painful kink in his neck. Must be hell!

I am hopeful that I will be able to sit down and do a few pages of sketches tonight. I have a few ideas in my head I’d like to get down, and it is the begining of the weekend after all.

And While I’m dreaming, maybe this cold will also go away…

Comic Femme Fatal

She is an unnamed heroine of my own creation.

Loosely based on Macavite’s character Merideth, I drew her in a series of sketches while Shane Nitzsche was staying with us. Shane did me the honor of inking her.

She is obviously very worldly and would not hesitate to rip your head off, literally. I have not named her yet, and am looking for suggestions.

I’ve got a few more characters that I am inking currently, and I am also painting the first cover for “Janos”.

At this point I should suggest you check out my personal blog, sketchbook and portfolio website c-hammer.com. I recently posted about the Janos project and have more detail on this image on my website.

Still much more to show. I am currently working on a series of characters and the cover of the first issue of "Janos".

So Sorry! I Suck!

There is quite a bit going on in Casa De Hammer. Rather than go into a rather boring diatribe of whoa and heartache, which benefits no-one, let me instead spread the joy of positive happenings.

Savvy-U.com has made some very large strides forward, and I will likely be working it full time in the near future. We are currently in negotiations with 2 multi-billion dollar companies and a 3rd company that does DOE contract work. Savvy U will provide the training for new staff and professional certification continued education credits. These are all big deals, and can really get the company rolling. If any of them happen I will be 40 hours a week from home on this company, and we will be looking for Multimedia people, animators etc.

Janos, a super secret comic project that I am forming with Shane Nitzche. It appears we have the team complete with some very talented and influential insiders (8 people in all). Shane Nitzsche has literally been working on this for 15 years. It is epic in scope and ambition. I cannot wait to start showing the project to everyone. I am currently inking and painting the first cover, which was drawn by Shane. After that I will be doing some sequential work, tons of painting, inking, web stuff and what-ever else needs to be done. The first two 64 page issues are nearly written. We have been recording every meeting from the very first one… There is so much to share about this one project, and I can’t do it yet, but stay tuned. This is the project that has held me back from posting images here recently, as I have been working on it and cannot display those images yet. I am also doing quite a bit of character and ship/prop concept work for it. All in all a major comic project.

I am looking to divest myself of everything else at this time. I have many websites, most are self sustaining but several need constant updates, and I have come to realize that I do not have the time nor the desire to make them what they should be. So here is what I am looking to do, I want to either sell them off or partner with someone who can take the time to write, and work the sites to a profitable point. Most are PR 3-4 and have descent traffic. So if you are looking to get into blogging, or are just looking to expand your blogging efforts contact me with the topic you are interested in and I’ll let you know if I have a site available in that arena. We can talk more after that. There is also the potential for partnership with several international advertising agencies and such that is in the works with several other network owners. These are all turn key websites that just need someone writing daily for them. The posts don’t need to be novels but should offer value to the reader on the subject of the particular. I have several hundred sites, I need writers not web developers, all have been SEO’d to a very high degree.

Multicampers Comic Strip

So far it is a work in progress as Soup and I work through the characters, story lines and look of the comic. But there are currently a few strips up at The Funniez.

So out of the gate Multicampers is the adventures of a group of airsoft fanatics in their battle to cope with reality and conquer an imaginary world of camouflage and military simulation. However today we decided that it will pour out into a much broader range of topics including Geocacheing, mountaineering, and general outdoorsy topics

Blob, Creature Painting

Another creature painting, this time an angry blobulous monster. I have been quite busy recently with freelance work, but am always looking for more. This particular image is one of several I am creating. It is perhaps less dynamic than it should be, and the camera angle is my typical 6 foot perspective. Regardless I had tons of fun creating this image, and now look forward to the next one, which will be far more dynamic. I already have many ideas to make this image better, and someday hopefully I will have the free time and desire to go back at it. For now it is as it will be.

Goblin Joust Update

All of a sudden I find myself swamped with freelance work. it seems to come in waves like most things. So, rather than go into those boring details... Though they are actually quite exciting, I thought I'd show the updates made to this painting.

GWAHHH! New Painting

This painting is still in progress, but it has been about a week since I last posted, so I thought you all might like to see what I am working on. You might recognize it from a recent sketch “whats He See?”. I very much like where this one is going, even with the odd square format.

Creeptastic Sketches

I feel this was a particularly productive sketching session. Using Alias Sketchbook allows me to go further than I might if I was sketching on paper with a pencil and markers. SO I really enjoy using it

Filling the Void

Start at any point on the page, and draw. Draw anything, but try to make it interesting. Now look at the negative space, and fill that space with another drawing. Keep doing this until you have a full page of sketches.

What's He See?

I was just drawing and trying to come up with a very basic story. From that I’d add more to the drawing. So the first character I drew, in this instance, was the freaked out character on the left. I see him as kinda frozen with fear. Everybody else is trying to figure out why he is in such a state of fear.
