Making a Night cover part 1

So I'm finally back on working on Night. Over the weekend I'm gonna post process picks for the cover treatment we are working on. Not sure if this will be the final idea fro the cover. but I thought I'd share the process I go through getting there.

Ok so I'm gonna start with the pencils.




The current Idea I was working with for the title dressing was a split graphic, with the Logo and text in the upper half and the image in the bottom. So the framing was going to be widescreen. Part of the reasoning behind doing things this way is that it will be well suited for further use on the PSP/IPod format.

This was a mock up I made while I was working on the idea of cover format a few months back.




And Here is a quick look at approximate placement. I plan on giving the title logo a little more breathing room at the top so I made the image a bit wider than the old mock up.

Also...

Been doing a bunch of odds and endz stuff over the last few months that I normally don't post pics of. but in case your curious...

I think this was for some sort of loreal(sp?) ads

Inn-Fighting

I was looking around o see if this has come out yet. Havn't seen it in it's final form but word I hear is the game is super fun. I had the most fun ever drawing the stuff so I'm looking forward to checking it out.

A selection of Con Doodlez

I'm just breaking the seal on stuff from 6 months ago. I realized that I didn't post a damn thing from the cons. So here are a selection of doodlez from some of the summer cons.

More inuit stuff

christmas gifts

I made up a few toys for a few folks this year. If I had had more time I was planning on a larger grouping of toys this year, but I think I'll be doing more toy making next christmas.


totally makes my fat ass feel like Santa.

some CSI stuff

here are picks from a series of CSI type images I did for Nelsons.

Back from the Dead!

Ok,


Thanks to everyone who e-mailed me or messaged me trying to see what was up.
and as the latest batch have been questions like 'are you still alive' I figure
I got to say something or people really will think I've kicked the bucket.

Here is a summery of what's been going on over the last 6 or so months...

First I was swamped with work and conventions, the usual summer madness.
Then right in the middle of all that I thought I had broken my foot.
Which turned out to be a form of metabolic arthritis better known as gout.
At the same time I had a bunch of family stuff come up that would
give falcon crest/dynasty a run for it's money.

sort of right in the middle of all this madness we decided to do a few "small renos" around the house.
One of these things was re-tile the basement bathroom...and a little unexpected mold latter- we ended up having to gut the entire basement.

I won't bore you with the details but look up murhphy's law.
But one last double feature addition to the house repairs from hell list. No joke, about 3 weeks after replacing the leaking roof, the clay pipes we thought we already had dug out came back(or at least the raw sewage did)


So by no means is the insanity over but I had to chime in and at least give some explanation.


Ok so now that things are starting to get back on track, as of today (god willing) I will be back to posting as close to daily as I can.

The new website I had planned for September of last year should be coming in the next few weeks or month or so just as soon as I can find someone to finish it.

Also anyone who is still waiting on a t-shirt or artworks from me please e-mail me a reminder. attila@600poundgorilla.com

I am really sorry and I'll try and make it up to everyone with free crap and other forms of attila love.



I'll follow up tomorrow with some art posts.
