Starbolt Concept

Still working on sketching during work breaks. This was off the top of my head only because the character is so easy for me to draw. I’m always looking on variations on the same costume, but the “star” logo remains consistent. This is yet another sketch I’d like to see in color.

This is not a comeback, not by any stretch of the imagination. This is just me flexing my creative muscles a bit. I’ve been working on school and some other projects, but I’ve been feeling that creative bug scratch at me for a little while. This is the result. I want to see this in color, so I’ll be working this on my next break (mid-December). In the meantime, I’ll keep sketching when I have the time.

I know I haven’t done much here in a while, and for good reason. This year my life has, or will be, going through a few upheavals. Emotionally my heart really isn’t in it anymore, so I won’t be working on any new pieces any time soon. Mentally I’m exhausted, and my creative spark has been snuffed out for the time being. Until I get heart, mind and soul aligned, I won’t be doing much creative work.

I mentioned upheavals in my life. One is personal and this is not the forum to talk about it in. Another involves a huge shift in my life, which I am determined to get completed by the end of the year, God willing. To end on a high note, the last thing involves me going back to school, which, although intimidating, is also incredibly exciting at the same time.

So, where does it leave my art? …on the backburner, unfortunately. GUARDZ will have to wait, art will have to wait, everything will have to wait, until I can get the rest of me back in order. It probably won’t happen for a long while, but it’s best if I just take it step by step and see where the future leads me.

This afternoon we decided to take some pictures of this historic 2010 snowfall. At last count, the snowfall reached 2 feet locally. Although it looks pretty, this one is going to difficult to dig out of, at least for a few weeks.

And of course, pictures!

As I’ve noted, I got sick this month, (did I mention twice? Just checking.), so it has put a pause in my latest GUARDZ! comic. I have a new one queued up, which will be completed in February. In the meantime, I have been working on this piece, which was inspired by the Wipeout games that are on the Playstation consoles. This one should also be done soon, but here it is, as a work in progress. Enjoy!
