Neil Armstrong: Final Entry

Neil Armstrong Dedication Part 3: Colors
I have finally finished with the color stage, and therefore closed another chapter. On to the next piece, and of course as always critiques are welcome. I have two versions of this image up, one with and without Neil Armstrong's portrait. I feel like their each have their own central charm. R.I.P Neil Armstrong.

So I am late with this, but I've been working on it for a bit and I wanted to put it out sooner but things got in the way. It's not even done yet but I like to scan and record my pencil work so I thought it only necessary to put this up. This is my dedication to recently deceased Spaceman Neil Armstrong. One of the first men on the moon. A great accomplishment for this country and all of mankind. He will be missed in the hearts of all who aspire for more in their lives and will continue to live on as an inspiration.

Been working on this for a bit, coloring is somewhat my Achilles heel, at least when I'm inking, and I try to avoid getting to complex with adding color to my ink drawings. I've been working with this one image for a a bit and I want to move on to a more complicated ink drawing so I won't have to rely so much on the color process. I'm not saying I'm done with this but for now its taking a break. Any suggestions or critiques are welcome.

Just finished watching season four of Breaking Bad.
Very good. My dedication to a great character.

Late Night Commute

My next post is an image I worked on in my sketchbook and I threw on some color and digitally produced a background. Some of you may think this as me cheating, but I found it to be a valuable a experience for me to fumble around with color. It was fun and my color experiments won't end here. Its also another train piece.

So I've been feeling down lately, I guess this is the life of an artist. But I figure the least I could do is upload some work that I've neglected to put up for a while and hope to generate some traffic. I realize that I can't solely do this because I hope to make a happy living out of it but that I have to be happy sharing my work and not expect a job to fall on my lap. Of course I'll still be looking and working because I care about what I do.

We've all been there before, but its never this bad...
