Game of Thrones sketches

I decided to rewatch season 1 of Game of Thrones before the premiere of season 2 next week, and do some sketching while I'm at it. These are from episode 2, The King's Road.

Harry Lloyd as Viserys Targaryen, the Beggar King

Lena Heady as Cersei Lannister, Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Jaime Lannister. I think I nailed the infamous "Cersei face" in that drawing

 Nymeria, the direwolf

Mark Addy as King Robert Baratheon 

Richard Madden as Robb Stark, Alfie Allen as Theon Greyjoy

I can't wait for next week's premiere. I was instantly hooked after the series premiere; it was well cast, well written, and the production values were fantastic. I started reading the books soon after, and I caught up about 2 weeks before the latest book A Dance With Dragons was released. I liked the series so much I even bought the bluray set. It's a great purchase because it has so many great special features, especially The Complete Guide to Westeros. It's a series of short animated featurettes narrated by some of the cast that explores the lore. I'll most likely post another set of these next weekend.

Monster Draw sketches

I haven't posted in a while, again. But here are my sketches from tonight's Monster Draw, Terry Gilliam's Time Bandits. It still stands as one of the strangest movies I've ever seen.

 I really need to invest in a scanner, these iPhone pics just don't cut it. Anyway, I'll make sure to post something about my trip to the Walt Disney Animation Studios next week.

Hugo sketches

It's been eons since my last update. I got swamped with schoolwork during the last month of last semester and regular work during Christmas break, but here I am back in the saddle. Now, I should be posting stuff for my new project for class (an adaptation of Jungle Book) but I don't have a scanner at home, and I've only produced only a few pieces of good artwork for it. But I will be posting stuff about it soon, hopefully this week. But for now, here are some sketches of the characters from Martin Scorsese's Hugo. 

First up is the title character, tinker and professional urchin Hugo Cabret (played by Asa Butterfield). 

Next is Isabelle (played by Chloe Grace Moretz), the budding author

This next one is the grumpy toy shop owner, Georges Melies (played by the brilliant Sir Ben Kingsley)

 And finally, the Station Inspector Gustave and his trusty sidekick Maximillian (played by Sacha Baron Cohen). Gustave was my favorite character from the movie. 

I wanted to sketch Christopher Lee and Emily Mortimer's characters too, but that would mean less time watching the movie. I'll do it when I watch the movie again, which is probably in the near future because it was so amazing.

Anyway, the next update will be about Jungle Book. I'll have character pages, layouts, and hopefully a color script up.

Noir Part II

Much better...

Noir

Did this while listening to the Porco Rosso soundtrack and nursing a glass of scotch. Kinda wish I did it with ink, graphite's too shimmery. In fact, maybe I will...
