Creature Design Woes

Hey folks, long time no see! Between freelancing, babysitting, and earning a few extra bucks on the side, I barely have any time to post. I even had to put this idea on the back burner! http://jimgrue.blogspot.com/2010/01/it-begins.html But during what little free time I have, I've been sketching ideas for two other ambitious shorts. One of them is about two kids and their run in with a rather odd looking creature. Here are some lunch sketches I have been coming up with.

I thumbnailed the boards, but I do not want to do the full boards till I get this weirdo's design right! ARRRGH! I love a good challenge =) Sketches are © of James Sugrue.

Yikes! Too long!

Real sorry for the lack of post. I've been saving like mad! Anywho, here is some pics during what little free time I have.

Customer I dealt with. He seriously said this to me!

New drawings

I want to start 2010 on the right foot, and to kick off the New Year, I'm planning another cartoon short. Stay tooned!

Babu to Bernie

The sweet smell of justice!

Short updates

I'm still not sold on the 1st one. This is harder than I thought!

Porcupine and Adios Augenblick

Last Tuesday was my last day at the prestigious Augenblick Studio. I was so happy I got the oppurtunity to intern on the upcoming "Super Jail" for Adult Swim. If you've seen the pilot episode, you will not be disappointed. Super Jail was such an exhilarating experience for me and I enjoyed every minute of it. Augenblick is like a modern day termite Terrace, except with cintiqs. I hope to come back again someday. If anyone from Augenblick is reading this, thanks for everything! (sniffle)

Banana Martini

5 and half hours but worth it.

Water Color

Tried out watercolor today. I kinda like it better than copics. Gonna keep playing around with it more

Chef

I was watching Ratatouille and felt inspired to draw this. I really wish I could visit Pixar.
