it took me most of the morning to draw dead andy, which is unfortunate (that's pretty slow even for me, and the picture is still not finished). but then, it's a complicated picture and i had to fuss with it a lot.
this is the opening image in whatever it is i'm currently working on (this is technically Remember, Linwood Brown, but i don't know if that will actually be the title in the long run). i had wanted to open with rembrandt's painting, but it occurred to me that i could work in even more layers of schtuff if i opened with dead andy instead. so here's dead andy and rembrandt will be next.
andy is one of those characters who i created knowing he was going to die, but he was necessary for so many reasons, and, in all fairness, he lived a lot longer than anyone expected he might. it also mitigates my own guilt that since he's dead in the opening scene, we can hope he's got a life of flashbacks to count on.
i didn't feel like drawing this morning, but i forced myself to do it anyway (discipline, discipline, discipline). the picture's not astonishingly good in any way, but i like it well enough (and will tweak some more when i ink it. i'm still thinking of changing that candlestick to a votive instead, for example). i altered it a bit from my initial thumbnail sketch (enlarged somwhat in this scan ~ my thumbnails are usually about an inch high):
i wanted Morse kneeling, but it seemed like that would dictate one extra step to get him on his feet to touch andy's face and i didn't feel like that was warranted. i haven't figured out certain kinds of progressions well enough to know how to pull something like that off without it feeling like bad film editing. but i am nonetheless determined to make this mostly a learning experience.
and i also sort of randomly feel like i might delete much of the front half of this journal (just as a necessary purgative), and that i need new lj tags. but it's hard to know where to start.
something to mull.
look alive everybody, tomorrow's friday!
