B
A submission! For both SFG's theme of "B is for" and Illustration Friday's recent theme of "superstition" – and one of the superstitions that intrigues me most is that of the bird in the house.
Originally a doodle on scrap paper, then inked, scanned and coloured in Photoshop (type and speech bubbles created in Freehand). Click here to read the whole story, and here for a better look at the detail.
SFG: B is for...
This week's theme: B is for...
The SFG Challenge runs Thursday to Thursday, and was created to offer every member an opportunity to stretch their creative muscles, venture outside of their artistic boundaries and post their interpretations each week on a specific theme. This is a completely voluntary challenge!
Be sure to label your illustrations with the appropriate labels as well. Label your entries with your name and the challenge label, in this case SFG: B is for...
By the way SFG'ers, we've had a number of new members join recently, with quite a few more on their way in. Please make them feel welcome!
The next challenge begins Thursday, December 6th, 2007.
Have a great week SFG'ers!

THROWBACK THURSDAYS 32
YO JOE! I'm back on the throwbacks with a vengance. As a kid I collected G.I.Joe figures and indulged in the 80's cartoon. One of the most remembered characters for me was Destro. Looking back now as an adult, he looks kinda pimpish, so I had to throw the Barroness in this pic. For the backdrop, I tried to replicate the toy packaging.
I'm having a GIJOE illustration contest over at my blog for the whole month of Dec.. All of you fellow Sugar Frosted illustrators are cordially invited to join in!!! ( Sacks10.blogspot)
Seattle Weekly Spot Illo
This is in this weeks seattle weekly. its about Judy Collins, a 60's music star who is now sequined dressed'd up and performing at supper club type joints. They said it was necessary that it be a sequined dress so i didnt panic and knew that i could figure something out. At first i extracted some actual sequins and tried putting hundreds of them on her dress and it looked horrible. if i had to paint them i would cry. this is one of the times im truly grateful for photoshop. the secret is i just used a default photoshop flower brush and a sparkle brush to achieve the over sequin look. it reduced down and published small enough that i think it worked! sometimes i get too obsessive about individual elements when i just need to look at what i need to do to achieve the overall final look.
Create an artistic background in CS3, tutorial
This week Phothoshop Magazine, a French Magazine directed by Stéphanie Guillaume, a multimedia journalist who works for

Washington Post Saturday Style
this was the cover for last saturday's style section in the Washington Post. its an article about how crazy sells. amy winehouse, britney spears and r kelly all have had much sucess despite their crazy habits. Me and a couple other illustrators have come to the conclusion that Britney is hard to draw, probably because she doesnt have any super defining facial features.

foolin' around with the .03 micron again. like the linework, hope you all sfgers do, too.

The weekly challenge word on sugar frosted goodness is "transportation".
In this quick illustration, I thought of a 1950s vision of the world of transportation, circa 1987.
