Something lost, Something Found SKETCH (Relic Hunter: Riven) - By: Christopher Taylor

So, after a nice weekend alone, I had a lot of time to do some drawing and work on Relic Hunter: Riven. Just some spit shine to something that is hopefully a good story. Did this piece in the process. Yuna, a prospective Princess in the eyes of the followers of the Aasi Empire.

Wanna know more? Keep up support for RELIC HUNTER: Riven!

Moving Along

Practice Comic Page 4 - By: Christopher Taylor

Short Story: Project DUKE and TAMARA Pg 1- By: Christopher Taylor

Short Story: Project DUKE and TAMARA Pg 2 sketch - By:Christopher Taylor

English Today!!

I have been working on many comic ideas and finally decided to sit down and work on a small 35 to 40 paged short story. The world will revole around two characters I created, Duke, a young boy who questions all, and Tamara, created for the SquareEnix contect for WEWY, now she is partnered up with Duke in this short. The story will hit on the floating island they live on and its connection to the people inhabiting it, and a race of Monsters that come out during the full moon.

Otherwise, Practice page number 4 is up. This time the page theme was "Establishing Shot!" as Backgrounds normally are my weak point, this was a chance to try and develop something interesting. This page as well as the 2 before it will be greyscaled colored and word bubbles added for the full practice to be completed.

Otherwise, still applying for new freelance, and Relic Hunter Riven now has 15 pages finished. Moving along slowly but thats only cause I have roomate problems. Oh well. Back to the drawing table.

Look out for Practice Page number 5! Dunno what it will be based on yet, but that all depends.

"All Series march of the Chibi" By: Christopher Taylor
(Left to right) Pandora's Paradox, Will of Two, Queen of Hearts, Relic Hunter: Riven, NEO|ARK

He is and always will be my first created character. I've neglected him because the world felt differently of him and I changed because of that. I lost the fun of drawing and to draw for myself and for others. But working on this piece today, Rose and young Glenn, I felt that again, that fun. Just thinking of the scenario the picture was drawn from, how I revamped the characters to match the style I draw today compared to how they used to look....it was fun. I want that back. I think I need to begin re-working on NEO|ARK again...

The road to getting work is bettering yourself...

Been up to a bit of sketching practice. Adapting a different technique to my drawings. It's been working well for me. Pretty soon I've gotta check out some covers of things from Marvel, DC, etc to help with my coloring a bit but for now I want to make sure that continuing to use this style will benefit me. Need to look out for the new Indiana Jones movie!!
