Bucket of Links

Some links I've been meaning to post. Mostly comics related, and others are there to inspire and awe. You can decide which does what. Enter Void From the FAQ page:"EnterVOID.com: the first in online sequential art battles." Our goal is to provide an environment for prospective comic artists to sharpen their artistic and story-telling abilities through sequential art (or comics). Our site provides what has been dubbed at times an "arena" or "battle ground" for up and coming young talent to display their skills and refine their art. Comics are the heart of VOID. There are two basic types of comics featured on the site. The first, and most popular, have been known for years simply as "Battles," where artists challenge each other with predetermined guidelines and do battle. The second type of comic featured predominantly on VOID is known as a "Beyond Battle." In this type of sequential, artists are able to depict their character's stories further, without being confined by the rules of being in a formal "battle." Gig Posters From the FAQ page:This site is dedicated to the artists, designers and musicians who create amazing gig posters to advertise shows and events. The art of gig posters, flyers, and handbills showcases the talent of many designers who see little to no profit for creating gig posters. I am pleased to host this site for the world to see all of the amazing art and dedication to promote the music scene. Zuda Comics A monthly online comic competition. Winners receive a publishing deal. There's a lot of inspiring stuff here. Comic Space Think of it as myspace for comic book fans and creators. Blue Vertigo Huge directory for graphic designers. Has numerable links to free stock photography, fonts, logos, Photoshop brushes, etc. Jenny Everywhere An open source comic character with reality shifting powers. She is completely free to use anywhere in anything. If I think of any more, I'll post them up.

Some excerpts from McThrill's sketchbook

I've been working on some anatomy and figure studies. Nudity ahoy, so be careful and don't get fired.

Backs are pretty sexy, it turns out.

I like her hair, and stomach. I think they turned out well. Not so crazy about the fade-to-nothing crotch, though.

I hate the shading on her face, but I think her hair looks pretty neat. I like her posture as well.

I swear to god, the reference I used for this was a female, and looked very feminine in the photograph.Something went wrong, though.

This is my favorite. I did this today.
