[Solaris]

Wow, that's some awesome stuff!

I know you're marketing a comic, but have you also considered contacting Cartoon Network? Your comic might make a nifty new series for them... and the style you're doing it in would work for them, IMO.

I think my favorite pic was the Ant, though. :D Love the realism, love the pose and the creative character.

[SamuraiJack]

Very nice stuff Jett! I love the cartoony style, and I agree with Solaris- you should be contacting CN immediately. I know I'd watch a show based off the dragon guy in jeans and cape, and both my kids saw your stuff this morning and flipped out. My oldest (8) wants to know if there's a comic out, what his powers are, if there's a video game, etc. *grins*

Please post more!

[666MasterOfPuppets]

Damn...

This is really some cool stuff. I freakin' love it. I was particularly impressed by the Tetsuo drawing. It's been a while since I last watched Akira. The landscape was awesome, too, and The Venom/ Batman one, and, and...

[Typo Lad]

VERY nice.

We're getting some quality artists here lately.

[The Mirrorball Man]

That's really excellent. I love how dynamic and energetic your art is. I'm a fan of stylized/cartoony art in general, and I think your style looks very good.

[Jettison]

Wow, thank you all so much!

I just recently joined this forum after linking here repeatedly for previews and interviews....

These pieces are stuff I have posted at other boards for the past couple years.

I really appreciate all yu kind words! Catoon Network, huh? That seems like it would be a hard nut to crack, but then again, Ive never tried....

Actually I illustrated 3 Alaskan Native children books in semi-comic book format a few years ago, and recently a local filmaker up here ( I live in Alaska) approached me about wanting to make a cartoon film based off the stories! Plans are that I will be moving to Seattle here within the next couple of months to begin working on developing it with a team of animators!

So exciting....hopefully along the way I could make contacts, and that Cartoon Network idea may not seem so difficult!

Once again, you are all too nice!

Dimi

[CLARK BENT]

That savage dragon is just awesome!

[Shawn333]

I have to agree, the Savage Dragon pics kick ass. You have some awesome work there. Sounds like you have a great opportunity. Congrats and keep us posted on how it turns out! And welcome to the forums from a fellow newbie.

[howyadoin]

I think your style would work really well for tattoos, assuming you haven't broken into that market already.

[DocAbsurd]

That's it.

I'm packing up the studio and calling it quits. This stuff is just way too good.

Which of these is the more recent material? You mentioned this is stuff you've been posting for a while; I can kinda see a progression but I'd like to be able to nail it down.

Are you using a Wacom for inking?

Your work just screams energy.




Doc 'Formerly Creative' Absurd

[Jettison]

Thanks guys!

Yeah, the animation opportunity in Seattle is SO AWSOME....not bad for an 'Art Institute of Seattle' dropout..hahahah. Will definitely keep you updated when it gets going!

Tattoos? Nah...Ive tried a few times, but I'm WAY too critical of myself to commit my art permanently to someones body....

Don't quit DocAbsurd!!!
I ink with Micron drafting pens, but a few of those were colored in Photoshop with the help of my Wacom tablet.

As for the newer stuff....um, the very first image posted is the MOST recent....just something fun I whipped up for Erik Larseen's art thread over at the Image boards....older stuff would be the crazy Bass fish getting caught with the lazer speakers by the girl on he keyboard...anyways...there all kinda mixed up....

[MaxofSteel]

Jettison. Your work is ridiculously good. If I may ask a stylistic question. What reference material do you use? If you use any that is.

Also, what medium do you prefer? Do you like working digitally better, or just good ol' paper and pencil? Personally I'm still trying to wrap my head around digital color at this point. I'm still learning the ropes in that respect.

[Jettison]

Hey Max, thanks for showing interest -

Refrence? Well, moostly comic books....I bought Burt Hogarth's 'Dynamic Anatomy', and although I havn't studies it ENTIRELY, but what I have studied has been invaluable in terms of crafting the human form.

I draw in pencil and ink all traditionally, and I may clean up a little in Photoshop....but all my line work is done by hand....I color it all in Photoshop though.

The ONE most important thing I picked up at Art Institute of Seattle were the Photoshop techniques. Basically once youve figured out how to place your line art on one layer, and the color on a layer beneath it, your gold.

[Kaos]

nooo cartoon network isn't the way..the way isn't workin for me (notice how I put for) as you work in a lil cage an draw for me to make millions off.buahahahaha..but on the real, you wouldn't happen to wanna do anytin with a writer...and say collaborate a awesome...comic...to lets say...submit to a publishing ting...and make...millions..:P

[Jettison]

millions?!?!

heheh....thanks, but I should really concentrate on this project first....its my baby...my characters, and my cousin is scripting the story we came up with....sort of the most important thing in my life at the moment. But its nice to know there are others interested in working with me!

cool..well..if you ever need any extra writers on some ting...gimme a holla...I can do comedy, action, drama, hell maybe even a lil romance. :p
But yeah, get at me.

[JonnyFreeze]

wow. the venom/ batman and the `dragon pieces are just ****in beatuiful

You're welcome, and good luck on your new endeavor. Don't forget to post new art here regularly.

[dtgooden]

your sequential work is really nice. I liked the strength training and ripping apart that nobby trunk. The Bass Angler was my favorite though. Crazy concept and I like the thrill on the DJ's face when she know's he's hooked!

Good job!

Heres something I did for a contest over at penciljack.com.....I am most proud because I finished the pencils/inks in one day, and the colors the next....it could have been quicker had I not worked both days.....

Anyways, what do you think? The guy flying is Mighty Man, and the retro dude that gets goosed is Flash Mercury - both characters are from Erik Larsen's SAVAGE DRAGON.

heres the contest link-

[666MasterOfPuppets]

Awesome! Those in the references, I guess one of the guys is you? There's not a better reference than a real picture. Alex Ross himself does that.

[Jettison]

Nah...those photos are from Comic Artist’s Photo Reference: People & Poses by Buddy Scalera....

Glad you like it!

[SmittyX]

Man! I go out partying for one night...and boom! Another Amazing Artist shows up on the board!

I like that page,it's very fluid and confident.

So, you're telling me there's a book with pictures of guys and gals posing just for reference?

Interesting...

a new piece....hey, does anyone know how to edit the thread title? I'm no longer 'new here', so if I could change it to 'Jettison's art thread' maybe....?

[Typo Lad]

Interesting. Is there a reason his lower body is so much smaller than his upper? it looks like he'll snap in two.

[chizel man]

Hey man, I really like your work.

[Jettison]

Thanks Chizel Man!

@ Typo Lad....um, no reason...I just liked the idea of him being large and hunched, with a smaller lower body....kinda exagurated, like Gorrilaz or something...

[Typo Lad]

Just wondering. No offence is meant. It just kind of doesn't work for me.

[clarkspark]

slick work! I like all the Dragon stuff. :)

[J Kleine]

That is great stuff indeed.

Thanks 666MOP...

yup....I did it all. Just started slapping filter after filter with tweaks to the color balance....

[howyadoin]

[LewMoxinsghost]

http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s256/jettison81/page3-2.jpg

Hey cool! Do you mean that this was done with a cintique? I am trying to justify the purchase.... how happy are you with it?

[Jettison]

The Cintiq is f-ing amazing.....the upsides of it are, if you are crunched for deadlines (like I was with that Buzzard/Old Man Coyote story), you can really get work done fast. I sketched those pages in pencil, and the rest was done on the cintiq.....

Some of the downsides are, the screen is very large, and putting it in your lap is almost impossible.....it stands fairly high off the desktop as well, so its not like you can just draw on the surface like if you were drawing on a table....its raised up.....so when its propped up, its like drawing on an easle, but there are times when you wish it was flush with the table top so you could get that same feeling.....Ive heard some people complain about the screen getting hot, and your hand sweat sticking to it, but there are these nifty little drawing gloves that fix that, search smudgeguard....they are also useful for pencilling against smudging the lead on your page.

I'd reccomend testing one if possible, and also try checking out the new, smaller one they just released....I would like to try one out, they look really lap-friendly, and you can take it with you places.

hope that helps a little.

[LewMoxinsghost]

Thanks for the review! Definitely a help! You read the pitch on their website, but you never really know until you try it.

If it is any consolation, it is the small one. :D

T-shirt design-

I LOVE this design, but it comes off as too "framed" for a t-shirt. It's closed off, and looks like it was made for a poster. Especially the part in the corners above the album title.

Antimatter For Breakfast

http://images-0.redbubble.net/img/clothing/bodycolor:black/size:large/style:mens/view:main/2254681-1-antimatter-for-breakfast.jpg

Nahani the Beast Man

The indigenous people of Alaska’s rugged interior tell legends of Nahani or ‘The One With Backwards Feet’ who would abduct folk who wandered too close to it’s territory. The tracks left behind would appear as double feet making it impossible to determine the actual direction the creature was moving. Nahani travels swiftly and silently through the deep underbrush, but on dark nights, his blood curdling howls can be heard from miles off.

Carapace

In crustaceans, the carapace is a part of the exoskeleton that covers the cephalothorax. It is particularly well developed in lobsters and crabs. It functions as a protective cover over the cephalothorax. Where it projects forward beyond the eyes, this projection is called a rostrum. The carapace is calcified to varying degrees in different crustaceans.

Hey, great stuff. Digging this take on The Spirit!

[Jettison]

Entered this in an art jam over at Satellite Soda (http://satellitesoda.com/phpBB2/index.php). Its a 'Design your own Street Fighter' competition......



http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s256/jettison81/Streetfightercontest.jpg



Tundra:

This dude is a peaceful shepard of the icy northern regions of Alaska.....he migrates with the herds of Caribou, and protects them from the encroachment of the oil industry. Living alone, nomadic, and exhibiting signs of supernatural abilities, TUNDRA only occasionally makes contact with other people, but his peaceful nature and selfless acts of kindness are legendary among the tribes of Alaska. When Shadoloo begins developing an arctic base of operations, and disregards the environmental impact of their massive project, Tundra is forced to intervene and defend the harmony of the land. After beating the crap out of a bunch of Shadoloo operatives, M. Bison takes notice and invites him to enter the Street Fighter competition. Tundra agrees only for the chance to draw attention to the dire state of the rapidly declining ecosystem of the arctic.

I could see Dhalsim and Tundra being allies.

Hey, looks cool. And even with a little backstory to boot. Two thumbs up.
