Beowulf--Tartakovsky style

For my Intro to Graphic Arts class, I had to draw a picture in the style of an artist of my choice. I also had to use a reference photo for that drawing. I chose to draw Beowulf (as portrayed by Gerard Butler in Beowulf & Grendel) in the style of Genndy Tartakovky's Samurai Jack. Beowulf's my hero, and Genndy's a stud.

Other of My Works

Since Chapter 1 is still unfinished, I thought I would share about other of my works in progress. Not all are pictured here, but most are. Some more important stories, I reserve for a later date.

This comic strip about a knight and his fox ran for a year in the Covenant College newspaper, before I transferred to LU. Scottish is the knight, and Farfrae the fox.

This is a page from a comic strip I created for the Lindenwood student newspaper. However, before this strip ("Son of the Samurai") appeard, I created another, more down-to-earth strip much like "Scottish and Farfrae", and Son of the Samurai was put away for perhaps later use.

This is from a children's book manuscript I wrote and am illustrating and hope to soon publish.

This image is from a cartoon I was going to make back in 2005. The project, intended to be 50 + minutes, was too ambitious for me as sole animator, so I eventually scrapped it. I may upload what I have later.

So This is Corel Painter

I've recently been introduced to Corel Painter (it's impressive), and I think it would be cool to use it to create backgrounds for my animation. I'm pretty sure that's what the Ninjai gang uses to create their stunning backgrounds for their very impressive animations. The above image is artwork I created in Painter. Since I don't actually own the program, I may not have time to create backgrounds for the animation. But who knows? We'll see what happens.
