Some Designs!


So, I've had these characters hanging around for a while now. You may even recognize the golem from a long time ago. For one reason or another, I've had a very strong urge to try my hand at some serious stop motion recently, and I think that'd be a good way to do something with these designs. The golem is going to be a challenge, but I think that's part of the fun.


 The ruined tower is where the fairy lives. Her design is pretty much complete, but the golem is just too much fun to explore, and since he's going to be so specifically complicated, I may find he winds up looking very different in the final. Not that I mind, of course. They're really fun to draw...

A Collection of Things


I've had a kind of busy month, but things are returning to normal over here. I hope you all had a good holiday season? Hope your Januaries turned out alright? Now that we've all given up on our New Year's resolutions, let's try to make the best of it! Onward to 2013!

This Sphinx was drawn for an artist's group I'm a part of. She is nothing but trouble, trust me.


Here we see Elrond and Thorin mulling over Orcrist. I'm still in the habit of toying with Tolkien character concepts, much like the doodles of the five wizards after the break. I drew those in my excitement for the Hobbit premiere.

King Arcen the Bold



At the Battle of Rainbow Bridge, he hewed the heads of fifteen giants, and drank their blood from a silver-plated skull. Of all the Fairy Kings, he is the first to arms and the last to leave the battlefield. It is said that his hooves on the green earth to sprout with white lilies, that turn bright red before they wither and die. His sword is thunderbolt iron, his mane is holy fire, and his horn is solid gold.

He is Arcen the Bold, Arcen-Cel,  Fairy King and Father of Unicorns.


I finally had a good excuse to draw this character. He's been hanging around the back of my head for at least a year in various forms, and with multiple backstories. I've been super busy since CTN, and I still have a whole bunch of stuff I'm going through. We'll see what happens.

The Post-CTN Glow


So, yeah, CTN was a great show this year. I met a lot of cool people and learned a few important lessons about life and art and the importance of umbrellas. Yadda yadda.

I've opened up a Twitter account, where I can post some of my less-than-stellar doodles and occasional ramblings. You can check me out @ScBingham, I guess? I'm still not entirely sure how the thing works, but I'll figure it out soon enough.

I've still got fifty-bajillion business cards to organize and a couple emails to look at, so things may be happening over here in the next couple days. I'll try to have everything locked in by Sunday, but with all this Thanksgiving happening, it might be tricky.

Let's just see what happens!

Die Fledermaus


I'm still messing around with this little guy. I'm still working on that little animated sequence for him. This particular graphic is going to be floating around with me at CTN next weekend. I'm really looking forward to the show, and I'm hoping to meet some more cool industry people. Fun times!

Glyos Paintdoodle


So, Onell Design puts out this fantastic little toyline called Glyos. It's basically mini retro space men who you can pull apart and put back together in all kinds of crazy ways. They are tons of fun and I'm getting excited because the next run is going to have some delicious purple. You can find out more about them here.

This painting was me continuing to muck around with my Cintiq. I pulled up my chair, loaded up some podcasts, and it just sort of happened. Maybe 45 minutes altogether.
