sedna lovin'

A collection of random Sedna sketches from the various sketchbooks I have scattered about...  If I can gather enough willpower to start, I'll be working on the panel sketches soon :)

See older sketches here, here, here, and here.

Sedna in the works

Been working on my graphic novel for the last few days...

inspiration for Sedna

The wonderful Jackie at LovesickRobot is doing awesome work on the script for my Sedna book, which has inspired me to start working on it again!  So, I was trying to work on a cover and I came up with the idea of using the dog - which more than likely will not be my cover, but I liked it so much I thought I would post it.  I think I want the cover to be more simple, minimal, with lots of white space...  we shall see.   Also there's just some quick sketches of what her body could look like...

sedna character design

I started some character design for my graphic novel! Well, I started with some drawings of her face a while ago, but I really need to think about her body... I know this may look weird but I like the idea - just have to figure out how to make it look a bit more... hmmmm... not sure if I can find a good word for what I'm trying to explain. A bit more something... Gotta work on it.

sedna sketches

Sketches for the main character in a possible comic I'd like to create based on an Inuit myth about Sedna. I did the illustration on the bottom a while ago and never finished it. The sketches on the top are brand-spanking new.

I was also recently inspired after reading the lovely Mike Mignola's Hellboy comics, and a comic I picked up while in Ireland a few years ago called An Tain - which tells of the epic tale from Ireland. I also took a look at my friend's ZvR - featuring amazing artwork by Mr. Ashley Wood! And I loooove the art in Hellboy and An Tain (which is colored using watercolor - beautiful) and it made me want to create a graphic novel telling Sedna's story.
