@hogue-e-roll: Are You Going To Comicon Next Month?

My partner heroically located the cables for the scanner so I can finally post high res versions of these painting studies.

First is geometric shapes with open acrylic paints, second is broad colors with heavy body acrylics, third is open acrylics as the base with heavy body acrylics for defining highlights and shadows.

Thanks! I’m trying to imitate the look of risograph prints (like the ones I got done for my illustration zine) so I've done the line work in ink and then I'm doing pencil shading on separate sheets of tracing paper. My plan is to scan the pages, color in the clothes/characters/objects with one color, overlay the pencil shading in a second color, and then lay the line work over that in a third color!

I mean... I could have done the whole thing straight digital... but I like to make my life more difficult.

Lestat, Louis, and Armand, all as variations of Pierrot. Done with Molotow and Posca paint pens, and color pencil.

Lestat's costume is mostly based on the painting of Pierrot by Jean-Antoine Watteu in 1718. Louis' Pierrot is based on the costume worn by Jean-Charles Deburau, as photographed by Nadar in the 1850s. Despite being the oldest vampire, Armand's costume is the most contemporary, as it's based on the 1975 film "The Adventures of Buratino." This is because Armand is a Theater Nerd (Lestat is a Theater Gay, there is a difference) and he thinks that outfit is the most inventive.

Screenshot study of Daniel Molloy (and Armand) from IWTV. Done with Molotow and Posca paint pens.

The lyrics are from Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit," but I had Patti Smith's cover in mind when I made this piece.

So I’ve scanned the pages of my risographed fashion study zine (you can buy that here)

Why "Panic"?

Because it’s what I do!

I live with depression, anxiety, obsessive skin-picking, and some lingering trauma.

My brain spends a lot of time telling me things like “If you don’t get a perfect grade on every paper you write, you will flunk out of grad school, never get a job in your field, disappoint your entire family, and probably die of, like, a bot fly infestation or something.”

It’s not fun, but I’m doing waaaaay better than I was, even just a few years ago.

I mean... WOULDN’T YOU??
