Here is some of the work from The Queen's Flying Zoo. Maybe I'll start a page just for the material from it. Just like everything else I do, this story was never finished. Well, it was never really started. I just drew a ton of stuff along the same lines and called it The Queen's Flying Zoo.

This is the winged bison mentioned in yesterday's post.

This is Svenn. He was the earliest version of Cortez. He may still come in as a charactor later in the story, but the fact that I am so new to story telling ( and that I have no idea of when I'll going to actually decide where the whole thing is going) mean that the may just be doomed to never be for than a concept. He's just done with a felt tip pen.

This is the first version of Cortez. It cam as a natural progression from a bunch of sketches called "the queen's flying zoo." Cortez is the game warden, in this short story, but I really liked the idea of him and started drawing stuff that I could use for his own story. I hope you like it. It's drawn with a grey 40% first, then a black felt tip to add the detail.

Most of my cortez stuff is in the same book and I never seem to have it when I'm near a scanner. I'll try to take it to scool with me on Thursday and scan some of my scribbles in then.

Busy, Busy

I haven't had any time to get anything posted here lately. Once I can find a scanner that works, I'll try to get some new art up.

Here's the warden's lodge. I was a quick piece that I put together while I was trying to sell my last house. I wanted something that people could look at as they walked through my office. It's done with a Staedtler pigment liner (0.3) and PrismaColor markers on cranson paper. Most of my stuff is done like this.

This is where I will start the updates for Look Out Cortez, a small comic book that I will surely never finish. Here's to hoping.
