Realism

Posted in sketches on May 29, 2008 by alentrix

Wow, it’s been awhile.

So realism is a bitch. This is why I tend to stay away from this area. But here’s a pencil drawing I’m working on. Sorry for the crappy scan, it’s a big pic and hard to scan. It’s from the same photo as used in the one from my sketch book, but this one is aimed more at accuracy and done in pencil instead of pen.

Free Comic Book Day or otherwise known as Hell.

So Saturday, May 3rd, was Free Comic Book Day. I participate every year at the local comic shop and draw for the people. This year was madness. For one, it was 10 hours instead of the normal 8 (yes 2 hours makes a difference). So 10 hours and 35 drawings later (and that’s with 10 other artists drawing as well. It was packed to the gills), something really cool happened. I drank a $20 glass of really really nice scotch and ate a steak dinner with Boba Fett. Yeah, the Fett. Wet your pants Star Wars fags.

Now, normally I could give a shit. It’s the guy who wore a suit in a movie. Whoopity doo. But Jeremy Bulloch (aka and forever here after referred to as Boba Fett) was fucking hi-larious. Oh the stories he told. And not about Star Wars either. Just life stories. Like flying in to Disney World to do some Star Wars promos and getting dicked around at the airport customs office. Funny funny shit. And the coolest thing about him, is that he realizes he was just a dude in a suit. He doesn’t think he’s special or all that. He wore a suit in a movie and for what ever reason he has a rabid fan base. He gets it. And that’s what makes Fett cool.

So needless to say, don’t expect any updates (not that there have been many anyway) for awhile. My hand is all cramped up and I’m kinda sick of drawing for a bit.
