Jasper's thread o'art

[Jasper]

not a creative title eh.
Well anyway I'm posting first a character in the comic I'm writing. Her name is Alicia and she's a werewolf working for the bad guys. This sketch was done on notebook paper in pen. I was doodling at work and had limited resorces to use.

[Spike-X]

Great pic Jasp. Is she wearing one of those 50s bullet bras?

[Jasper]

This is a sketch of a boy. No one in particular and probably the only one I did on plain white paper.

[Jasper]

No I have an arm that is supose to be coming out on the other side even with her boobs. Ther arms not done so it makes her chest look bigger then it is.

[Jasper]

This one I sketched (again on the lined paper) while I was thinking about dogmeatsausage's wolf he did. I loved that pic so much and it was something I considered would be a good image as a werewolf for my comic.

[Jasper]

Mas sketchies

this is a vampire named Daniel.

[Jasper]

This is a sketch of a werewolf named Gabriel

[Jasper]

ANd this is a witch named Vanity.

[ragnarok_2012]

Awesome work Jasper! Loved the "boy" pic, "wolf" & "Daniel" especially

[Silliw 2]

Seriously nice stuff. Can you dish out more info on the comic?

[Jasper]

Yeah. I have written a script for a comic called Dead Body Detectives.

It's about three detectives that are a witch, vampire and a werewolf that investigate paranormal cases. Right now I'm working on submitting it to a few publishers. If that doesn't work I'm going to look into self publishing.

I admit if I self publish I will probably look for someone else to do the sequential art. I have a strong point in people but I suck when it comes to backgrounds.

[Johnny Morningstar]

I've been tinkering around with some scripts. If you plan on drawing your own story, you might want to tailor the script to your drawing strengths.

[Azangel]

Hmmmmmmmmm
Kinda like Daniel, there, myself...

:)

[meethraa]

Mas sketchies

this is a vampire named Daniel.
I really like this one!

For some reason :D

[Jasper]

Picture done for Azangel.

[Jasper]

A drawing I did of Azangel's character.

[Jasper]

a new picture of my character Jasper from my speed zone stories. (posted here on the NEB)

This is a study of her costume because she has a white catsuit with a dragon starting from her stomach and wraping itself around her leg. I also am working on one from the front.


Edit: Helps if I attach the picture doesn't it..

[shadowknight865]

these are some cool pic (wink wink) just kiding about the wink wink

[Jasper]

new picture colored and everything. I don't have a name for her yet though.

[Jasper]

The aliens are coming.

[Jasper]

This is more of an experiment with my grungey brushes. Plus a little play with scan lines.

[ScottDMSimmons]

Jasper, I'm really digging the color work, and like the elf especially. You have a good manga style to your art that really works.

You may wish to consider starting Dead Body Detectives as a online strip somewhere (like Graphic Smash, which should be looking for new strips in March). I'm personally trying to get more of my comics work seen... I did a Jenny Everywhere strip earlier this year, and signed up to do an online strip at Proletariat Comics for early 2005.

It's a way to get your work seen, make abit of income, and get the whole package together as you can for actual publication as a comic book later on. Just an idea.

--Scott

[Jasper]

I hadn't really thought about that Scott. I think I will give that format a shot. I've wanted to do strip comics for a long time, I just never thought I had a good enough idea for them.

[mrhelm]

Alicia looks pretty cool. Decent art.

Nick

[shadowknight865]

I like Elf the most

[Jasper]

Shadowknight, I can bring you a copy of elf monday. I know you said any character but if you like it I can give you one you'd want to keep.

[thetechnocrat]

This is more of an experiment with my grungey brushes. Plus a little play with scan lines.

I like this one. It looks like a well done ad campaign poster. I like the blue.

[Jasper]

Highway to Hell: This one I've had problems with it took some serious tweaking for me to finally be happy with it.

Threat Unknown: Is a second one after the flying scaucer theme. Plus me playing with the layers to make it look more like a part of a ship's viewer.

In the sites: An experiment with scan lines and my grungy brushes

[Jasper]

Someone told me they were going to take my photoshop away after this one.

Heh I think I did a great job. THis was a lot of experients in texture layers and lighting.

[Jasper]

more zombie pics

[Jasper]

more zombie mania

[Jasper]

These both are for Azangel.

;)

[Jasper]

Another photoshop creation. This was me playing around at a subject matter that is not so morbid.

[Jasper]

Another play at photoshop. I think I'm enjoying this way too much.

EDIT: Need to learn to spell also :rolleyes:

[Jasper]

And again... Flowers are the theme... Untill I get another zombie movie that is :eek:

[Azangel]

You have WAAAAAAAAYYY too much fun with photoshop, dearie.

:D

[Jasper]

I know. :) but then someone has to enjoy it way too much.

[Jasper]

Some drawings I've done.

[Jasper]

Ah more photoshopy goodness. This started with a photo I took of the Knoxville, TN skyline. That big ball thing is called the Sunspheare. It was made when the worlds fair came to knoxville early 80's.

[thetechnocrat]

That's a good one. I thought it was a water tower or the crashed remains of the ship from 2001 when I looked at it before I read your text.

[Jasper]

Thanks. I'm still trying to improve it though. I can't leave well enough alone.

[Jasper]

ANd for reference the original photo that I used in the base of the above to pictures. My camera's crappy so it's not as good as it could be.

[Jasper]

ANother little photoshop play.

[Jasper]

I've not posted anything in a while. Here's the latest in my photoshoping fun. The source photos were all taken by Azangel. She's such an awsome photographer.

[Jasper]

I've not done anything signifigant since my last posting. I did this one while I should have been doing home work yesterday. It's a manipulation of several photos I got off a great web site called Stock.Xchng (http://www.sxc.hu/).

[Jaye]

That "whispers" one is really fun, nice work!

[Jasper]

A drawing of my J Street chracter that takes my name Jasper. This is actually an older drawing the black and white version is Back. 'Behind You' is a cropped and colored version where I added a background and blurred it up for good measure.

[Jasper]

Featuring Takeo and the background I photoshopped from saying 51st street to saying J Street.

[Jasper]

Here I drew Rogue from Cruxshadows and photomaniped a background. The technique on the hair I probably won't do often because and when I do I think I'm going to try to organize the highlights and darker hairs a bit better. I've attached the refrence photo for you to compare.

Edit: Had to nitpick at the shading in his face.. I'm happier with this version. I need to leave it alone and quit adjusting.

Edit again: Final nitpick!!!

Edit 3: I went back and modified the shading some because his expression wasn't coming through.

[Jasper]

New pic. I think I love coloring his hair more then anything.

[howyadoin]

How the hell did I miss this thread till now? There's some damn cool stuff in here.

[Winslow]

Featuring Takeo and the background I photoshopped from saying 51st street to saying J Street.

How'd you do the background in this one?

It's pretty sweet . . .

[Jasper]

Wow thanks Howy. I don't know.. I just add to it occasionally.

Winslow: What I did was cut and past the blue tiling that was already in the picture over the parts I didn't want for large coverage, and then tweaked it with the paintbrush in small areas. Then add some creative work with the eraser, paintbrush, burn tool (darkens) and dodge tool (Lightens) to even out the colors and blend edges. I can tell what I colored cause I did it and probably any other profesional photoshop guru can also, but to be honest that was maybe my third or fourth time playing with this type of manipulation.

[Jasper]

Takeo again.

This background was hard for me to decide what to do. I wanted him in a dark area, but I didn't want it too dark for him to be seen. I may try again later with a hallway or something.

[Jasper]

Playing with photoshop. I did this one last month. I figure if I was going to turn people into zombies, I might start with myself.

If anyone wants me to do something like this to a picture of them just PM me and I can work out the details.

[howyadoin]

Jasper, a friend of mine sent me this link (http://www.101industries.ca/photoMan.html) today. Thought you might get a kick out of some of the art there.

[Jasper]

Ooooooh Now that is awesome. Thanks Howy.

[Jasper]

Not named yet. She's one I did a few days ago and finally got around to scanning. I will probably incorporate her into a larger piece later.

[Jasper]

How do I show my family I love them... I turn them into photoshopped zombies.

Here's my cousin Lori. I so kindly extracted the picture from a recent birthday party shot and decided to play with it. I can't wait to hear what she thinks about it. Knowing her she'll want a copy printed out for her.

Edit: I do have a larger version (http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a75/jaspjedi4hire/Lorizombie.jpg) availble if anyone wants to see it. I didn't realize cutting it below 100 kb would make it that small on screen. (next time must check dpi levels)

[howyadoin]

I didn't realize cutting it below 100 kb would make it that small on screen.You should look into a Photobucket account and then link the photos from there. Take a look at the photos in my art thread and you'll get an idea of how much bigger you can go.

[Jasper]

Thanks Howy I'm going to do that. Definitly make the size limit a little less frustrating sometimes.

[Jasper]

I love my family. Here's my brother who posts as Shadowknight865 sometimes. I thought I'd make him a zombie also. He told me he thought it was neat!

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a75/jaspjedi4hire/Izombie.jpg

[Jasper]

My recent pic. It's just me messing around with textures and this interesting picture of an Ankh I found.

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a75/jaspjedi4hire/ankh.jpg

[Azangel]

...And of course you know how much I love all things egyptian...

Right?

[howyadoin]

My recent pic. It's just me messing around with textures and this interesting picture of an Ankh I found.

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a75/jaspjedi4hire/ankh.jpgYou should seriously be designing book covers.

[Jasper]

Howy: That would be cool. I just don't know how to break into that sort of field. Which is why I've don't almost nothing with my art (besides give it away)

Az: which is why I sent you two prints.

[Jasper]

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a75/jaspjedi4hire/lighthouse.jpg


Not exactly sure about this one. I think it still needs something.

[Jasper]

The assignment here was to do a piece with the text as the major focus of the artwork. I had the Fallen Angels (http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?t=60331) series that Azangel, Jayna and I write on my so I used a bit from the current storyline and made this. It was fun to play with more then anything. I did 3 versions. This is the version I got feed back on but the other two are here (http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a75/jaspjedi4hire/Fangel.jpg) and here (http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a75/jaspjedi4hire/FA9card3.jpg) .

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a75/jaspjedi4hire/FA9card2.jpg

[Jasper]

This is a character piece I did for someone. He needed a sketch of an RPG character he had been working with. I have one more character to do but so far he likes this one. I personally feel I've done better. The nose is bothering me and I honestly need to try something that doesn't have so many thick black lines.

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a75/jaspjedi4hire/psychosis.jpg

[Jasper]

Playing with layer styles and blending modes I came up with something interesting. Probably still needs some tweaking but so far I like it.

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a75/jaspjedi4hire/industrial.jpg

[Jasper]

And another two I've been playing around with.

[howyadoin]

here (http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a75/jaspjedi4hire/Fangel.jpg)That's probably my favourite of the 3.

[Winslow]

Today's work.

Wow

That's awesome.

The shattered reality of the elusive American dream (white picket fence)

my interpretation anyway. ;)

[Jasper]

Thanks Winslow. I mixed a lot of images in there and there are a few hidden things. So that would be one good interpretation to it. I hadn't even thought of the idealism that picket fences do carry.

[Jasper]

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a75/jaspjedi4hire/knife.jpg

THis is a manipulation of three different photos. All contributed to me by Azangel. Isn't she an awesome photographer?

[Jasper]

A new pen ad Ink drawing I completed today. The orginal is actually on a peice of legal sized paper so it's much larger then this.

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a75/jaspjedi4hire/pheonix.jpg

[Jasper]

I've done a series of character sketches recently. They're all very rough and in some serious needs of cleaning up. There are 12 all together so I'm going to spare you the long load time and link most of them with one preview.

This is Beset.

This, and the picket fence photo, are my favorites. Wow. Cool work. Keep it up, Jas. :D

[Solaris]

You should seriously be designing book covers.

Or album covers. I can think of several bands who'd like a pic like that for their cover art. :)

[Jasper]

Thanks Chris I appreciate it. I'm still working at it.

Right now I'm taking the sketches I was working on through photoshop. Here's an unfinished picture of Horace.

Ooooo! That is absolutely GORGEOUS. Love it.

Very nice indeed. I like the way you kind of "sprinkled" the paint accross the bird instead of completely coloring it in. I love all the different color techniques you guys use. So cool.

[Jasper]

The pheonix was actually born out of me playing with paint and ink on the calender at work. I painted a fireplace for work for christmas decorations and got some of the red paint on thebig desk calender I had on my desk. WHen I get bored I draw. I draw in ink, white out or whatever will leave a mark on paper. SO I started doodling around the paint splotches with the lines and squiggles and came up with an awesome looking dragon.

Problem here was the dragon was on a desk calender. Christmas was right next to it's tail and it was breathing flames all over the first week of december. It's too big to scan but I kept it and decided to rework the idea for the pheonix. I will have to do some more of these.

[Solaris]

LOL! I loved the dragon story, and so did Meg and Perry---they're sitting here. My favorite part was it's tail being right next to Christmas, and it breathing fire all over the first week of December.

I'd love to see more of this stuff.

[Solaris]

Thanks Chris I appreciate it. I'm still working at it.

And finally the last one is of the character with the white hair in the above picture. I just call it Beauty (http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a75/jaspjedi4hire/beauty.jpg)
