GÆLEN MIBECK'S BLOG
From the monthly archives: January 2011
Today I painted a portrait of my hero, Gilbert Kieth Chesterton:
I used watercolors for the shading, with the colors and text being added digitally.
I'm quite pleased with how it turned out!
By the way, I'm off to Washington DC tomorrow morning for the March for Life!
I drew two more turtles:
…as well as a tree monster and a walking dinosaur fortress:
Some sources of inspiration include the giant in Time Bandits, Guney”s Dinotopia and this Copper comic.
I thought these were neat enough to post:
I have a few more ideas, so we'll see where this goes!
I seem to be getting better at watercolor:
I now have a watermark:
See ya!
NOTE: I know I'm a day late, but whatever.
To start off the year, let's go look at some of the stuff I did in 2010:
(listed in order of coolness)
- I set up this blog
- I started a webcomic
- I went to Chicago
- I took some anaglyph pictures
- I did (well started anyway) a month-long LEGO project
- I watched some cool movies (District 9, Ponyo and Time Bandits)
- I changed my blog header like, a million times
- I got braces
- I forgot I even had this blog on multiple occasions
Here's some stuff I want to do this year:
- Two blog posts per week.
- One comic per week
- A project where I draw a self-portrait everyday for the next 365 days, then string them together and make a time-lapse sort of thing (Like that Noah guy did).
- Some sort of board/card game.
- A graphic novel
- M:MMM (Like I did last year, only I'll finish it this time ;) )
- I also want to publish some sort of collection of stuff at the end of the year, like some people do.
I wish a happy year and a blessed Epiphany to everyone!
