earthwormadam

Spoiler:

your markers, specifically

madmosher

This stuff is just brilliant, that environmental is great, love the color play. How long did it take? If you remember...

Prospicience

Your inking makes me jump with glee. Especially on the dog and the vikings.

worstcase

can you give your inking powers to me?
I wants them

McJohnstable

Thanks heaps, you guys are too kind. Godfather, that persons work is awesome thanks for sharing.

madmosher, I think it took around 7 or 8 hours, if memory serves correctly.

Not much drawing as of late because christmas is coming up and getting ready to visit the family down south for a week or two.... but in the meantime started sculpting this little guy, still in the rough stage:



He's a loner hoodie kid that likes to climb things... and has a little venecian mask his parents got him on a holiday away. He lives in a small countryside town in England, and likes to climb over stone-walls, up trees and onto the roofs of cottages and the like.

He also has an iPhone which I'm considering getting at some point. His name is Erin.



Edit: Here's a marker sketch of him I did a while back... where his concept kinda started to take some form.

ninjai

Hey bud, can I get a scan of that "Bad Day, Fuck you"? I'd even pay for a print if you could get one.

Scotty

Great stuff! Cool to see you doing some sculpting too.
If you have any questions concerning sculpting I'd be happy to answer any that you may have. (I'm a sculptor...just sayin')
Love these designs!

Arden Canelo

I feel I say this about almost every person's art I like, but please make a comic with your dudes. You could call it Viking Shenanigans and I would read it.

McJohnstable

Hey guys, thanks heaps.

ninjai: I won't have access to a scanner for a couple weeks, but I can do so when I get back and sort out some prints, after what people were saying about that one it sounds like quite a few people would like a print of it. So I'll let you know, sorry it's in a couple weeks though.

Scotty: Cheers, that's very good of you to offer, your sculptures look incredible.

Arden Canelo: Aw thanks. Comics are always interesting but it's just a matter of coming up with a worthwhile scenario. But Erin (the kid in the last pic) would be fun to make a comic for.




Here's an old one I found buried on the hard drive, it's a couple years old so nothing fresh... but just thought I'd share, a TF2 sniper rifle reskin:

Edit: I know that's the NZ flag and Sniper is Aus, I'm from NZ so it was just a little joke.

Scotty

Haha...NICE!

m3nace

Hey cool, which one are you then? Twilight sparkle? Primrose? Ice? Badgerpig?
Hella cool.

NakedZergling

I totally remember that gun pic!

McJohnstable

m3nace, I'm BlightedArt, my name's yet to be added to the credit list, been AWOL over christmas hah.

Thanks guys.

McJohnstable

Been a bit out of practice catching up with people for christmas. It's 3am here at the mo, just dropping these scribbles then sleep.

McJohnstable

3am at the mo. Got a flight back home in a few hours.

Arden Canelo

I feel as if that sassy fish could use a bowler hat to further add to his sass (tilted down over his head), but perhaps it would be too much. I am entertained at the amount of fucks he does not give with a hook and a cigar in his mouth at the same time.

McJohnstable

Cheers Arden, a bowler hat would indeed add more fucks to him to not give.

3am sketch-a-poo.

m3nace

Cool. Looks almost exactly how I pictured captain Peleg from Moby Dick.

Iruka

What paper/inks/marker brands to you favor? It'd be cool to know what you are using for all this awesome work

McJohnstable

m3nace: Haha, true!

Iruka: Cheers, here's the sketchbook I go for, stock description included:
http://www.gordonharris.co.nz/hahn-sketch-book-hardcover-120g-64sht-pc-HAH10628353.html

Then a mechanical pencil, I use this one (only one available here):
http://www.gordonharris.co.nz/marsmicro-05mm-fineline-leadholder-pc-SR77505.html

....With red lead.... means if i do just a black and white drawing i want to do digitally later, the red underworking is easier to photoshop out after scanning.... Also blue or grey lead seems to smudge in too much with the markers and makes things mucky.

Black ink is done with one of these, super awesome... wide range of line thicknesses, deep black ink and lasts for ages... sometimes use a 0.2mm ink pen for super thin lines though:
http://www.jetpens.com/Kuretake-Fudegokochi-Brush-Pen-Regular/pd/2658

And colour markers are Tombow dual brush, I usually use the brush side instead of the pen nib side:
http://www.tombow.com/en/catalog/markers/abt.html

Bit expensive to buy at first, but each of the pens do last quite a while... there's definitely cheaper mediums out there though.


Edit: Also, girlfriend made me a sleeve to put my sketchbook and pens in. Yay!

Scotty

I love this stuff!
Excellent talent.

McJohnstable

Cheers Scotty.

Some anatomy... there's more but i hadn't photographed em haha.

earthwormadam

neato inks/book-case/arm studies

McJohnstable

Thanks heaps mate.

Scotty

All great, cripes that ship is fun...love this stuff.

Flay

That ship has a tonne of style!

I'm not sure what the lines on the right are meant to indicate though.

McJohnstable

Thanks guys.

I agree Flay, the lines are a bit obscure, I wasn't too pleased with them after finishing; they're supposed to be thin lines of smoke and strings of tarp coming out from the ship (think of a very slight ghost-ship aura in a way). Thanks for the feedback!

agostino221: Sorry I'm not sure I follow, saying about what? the ship picture? Or was that directed at Flay?


Here's a Space Rhino:

Edit: Err... maybe these images are too big... Sorry

sotsog

I need to buy me some markers

earthwormadam

space rhino is both funky and chunky

kevindee

This stuff is so inspiring. I love pirate ship, but space rhino is the like the best thing ever. Makes me wish I had markers.

McJohnstable

Thanks guys. Markers be fun. Though this time I tried digital as I've not done it in months... hah.

Speech bubble with my homeland/town's slang thrown in for kicks.

Been playing a bit of Sonic Generations. I was nervous at first... A once-sonic-fanatic as a kid that had killed interest in him around / after Sonic Adventure 2. But I picked up the demo for this. shortly after I picked up the full game, and am loving every rekindled-passion second of it.

Laffles

Great stuff, love your style

McJohnstable

Thanks Laffles.

McJohnstable

A poker card.

melting_doll

Oh man I would totally buy spaceman poker cards to play cribbage with.

"Ha! I have the right Astronaut!" would be so satisfying.
