Brian Moore's Sketchblog

Hopefully the last of these for awhile.

This one actually came out okay (after a few attempts.) The major reason that it’s “rejected” is that I’ve decided to draw something else for that point in the story. It will be a couple of panels instead of one long one.

One section of the story calls for “menacing Art Deco”. Still need to practice that. Atom looks mildly worried; that’s a good start.

Inspired by a photo.

This week I was a guest blogger for the comics news and reviews site ComixTalk – here are my contributions …

“Seeking Solace at the Symmetry Shop (An Appreciation of Ben Katchor)” – a not-quite-review of Katchor’s books Julius Knipl, Real Estate Photographer: The Beauty Supply District and The Jew of New York.

“Grey Vampires and Green Cowboys” – A quick look (with lots of pictures) at the art techniques of Christophe Blain in his book Gus and His Gang, and of Joann Sfar in his book Vampire Loves.

Thanks to site proprietor Xerexes for inviting me to blather on!

Still working on the plant character design. I liked how the lighting came out in this one, but like the last rejected panel the colors got too bland.
