Work in progress – DRDs from Farscape
… artist pens, they’re indian ink, water-proof (doesn’t mean they’re alcohol proof which my markers are based on) and are supposed to be quite light-fast. To be honest I only dug them out my pencil case the other day and they are just nice pens to work with as long as you don’t run over them too much with markers. Normally I wouldn’t use them in a colour piece because I have to be more careful.
On the main DRD I’m using my ‘M’ pen for all the standard line work …

A while ago I did the illustration above, the most awesome garage in the world. I stand by my choices in this piece, these are the three cars I would most love to have sitting in my backyard and I’m pretty awesome so I know this stuff.
Of course some of you felt that there weren’t enough bays in our awesome garage (one of you also made a groan worthy joke about the garage itself being fairly ordinary but the cars being awesome…). So I’m going back into the pop culture auto industry and letting you guys nominate and ultimately vote on the next three cars to go into the awesome’st garage part two.
Now I’ve got some suggestions of my own to get you rolling:
- The Gadget Mobile (car mode)
- Any vehicle from MASK
- The 60′s Batmobile
- The Galileo shuttle craft from Star Trek (whatever, it would fit in a garage)
- The A-Team van
- The Star Car from The Last Starfighter
- Light bike from Tron
- KITT (though it would be boring to draw… shut up, don’t judge me)
Well that should have gotten you thinking and since I know you guys are all very clever and knowledgeable in the art of popular culture I expect some out of left field suggestions in the comments. I would also love to see some new names in the comments, time to come out of the shadows and be embraced by the Quit Your Day Job community!
When I’ve got a healthy list I’ll cross off any I don’t think I’ll be able to draw (fair go) and then offer the rest up for you to vote for in a poll!
Be a part of awesomeness, tell your readers and friends and that shady guy down the street who smells like wet carpet… actually don’t bother telling him.
Now speaking of awesomeness I had two awesome ideas today that made a little bit of stardust seep out of my left ear out of sheer bloody amazingness. The rough pencil thumb guide is up at my Posterous site for the first idea and the second will take a little bit of time but involves two characters from the Goodies and Baddies set.
It’s going to be cool.
Get in on the ground floor, share the coolness with others.
Proclaim your commitment to the cool.
Arnold was cool, why don’t you want to be?
I’ve been a fan of the Moleskine notebooks for a long time now, I probably like them a little too much because I’m always a little hesitant to draw in them or write in them as I know that I’ll want to hang on to them and so I only want things of note and worth to be contained.
Of course this is the completely wrong attitude and approach and fortunately I was given an opportunity to get over it.
I’ve been supplied with two blank Moleskine cahiers to customise and return to the Moleskine website Notebookco for inclusion in their Moleskine cover hacks project.
I completed the first one over the weekend:
I was completely unsure of what the colour of the cardboard would do to the colour of the markers and I’m really pleased with the end result, gives it a “dated” look that I may seek out again.
I’ll let you all know what the details are and how you might be able to get your hands on this custom Moleskine notebook when I find out!
