More Skeleton King stuff

Wow. My brain seems to want to make this into a story, or something.

Today, i'm going to have some serious meetings for illustration contracts. I hope I get some! They sound like fun and money is always nice. I'm also thinking of re-doing the Namesake Banner on the website. It's too small and that bugs me. Plus, I changed the character designs a bit.

I drew a poster for the con I really love. Behold, the awesome :



By the by, has everyone heard of Wacom's new Inkling? 

The product is described as thus : The Inkling digital sketch pen captures a digital likeness of your work while you sketch with its ballpoint tip on any sketchbook or standard piece of paper. Designed for rough concepting and creative brainstorming, Inkling is ideal for the front end of the creative process. Later, refine your work on your computer using an Intuos4 tablet or Cintiq interactive pen display.

Basically, it's a pen you can sketch with on paper. And it records what your doing and you can then transfert it to the computer. As vectors. Or scans. WITH LAYERS. I'm not gonna lie, I want this a lot. I dreamed of something like this for a while. Of course, in my dream it was a brush, but one step of technology at the time. This is going to be awesome for sketching. A little useless for doing comic pages, but it's going to make it pretty easy to produce sketch to post online....

Bottom line is : ISA LIKES.

Plus it's pretty cheap. 200$. I was expecting 1000$ when I heard about it.

I did notice how much the style of Namesake evolved over time. The noses seem to be the most striking difference. :) Overall, I think it just got more awesome than before. :D

Beautiful drawing!

And WOW, I may have to get that Inkling too. That sounds AWESOME. And yeah, I'm glad it's not really that expensive. :3

I see you've warmed up to the idea. ;) On that note, Amazon is finally listing the Inkling, but it's a whopping .05 cents cheaper than the $200 price tag. Color me not amazed...but I may have to break down and get it, too. It would be nice to sketch on paper when I'm away from the computer without giving up the digital version I do prefer (most of the time).

And you need to start working on making some ideas reality before being consumed by even more ideas, methinks. :D

Every time I go on my flist & I see your work...

STOP BEING AMAZING

Hey Isa, I love this poster design, your characters, and the inking is amazing!! But if I may make a critique, I have some suggestions about color- or really more about contrasting values. Just ignore me if I'm out of line but if not, I made a mock-up to show you what I mean? Let me know if you're interested in seeing it. I love your work so much and just wanted to pass along some stuff I learned recently that helped me.

I like the con poster. And my copy of 'Namesake' arrived today! I really like the sketches in the back, especially the one of Emma and Warrick! Heeee!!!

That Wacom thing (pen??) is so cool! I want to run out and buy Von one right now! Damn this not having loads of spare money! *petulant footstomp*

[spankingfemme.livejournal.com]

Wow! That is bad ass! =D I want an Inkling too! LOL! (Of course learning how to draw digitally is also on that list ;)

I love the new Namesake pic! XD Emma's pose is very energetic and uplifting! And of course I dig me some Warrick :P

What kind of story is evolving from those sketches my dear? :)

[amelia-seyroon.livejournal.com]

My Namesake first issue got here! =D

[brendala.livejournal.com]

$200 seems too good to be true for something that cool. Seriously, my cynical side wonders if there's some awful reason why the thing is so dang cheap!

Are you gonna sell this poster outside cons? Like on the website? It's beautiful! :DD
