.....curious? 

Time for my monthly update!

I just Submitted my piece to Popshot Magazine, and it's scheduled to go into print on October 8th....(I think) This is my first time getting my work published in a Magazine on it's own merit...It's not the first time I've been hired to create work for a magazine, but it is, on it's own credit, and not for advertising or something like that, Anybody Familiar with my work as a Pinstriper, and Hot Rod Builder has seen me in "Kustom Kulture Magazines" under my Pseudonym.

I'm also still working for Spyderwise Media, doing graphic, and Iconography Design, but trying to find something a little more.....Stable?

My Beautiful wife and I just bought a house, so the studio is moving again, and life has been every kind of crazy because of it.

 I have been working hard to finish up my  work with Andy Velasquez. This final part of the project has taken a lot longer than I had expected it to, but I am going to be sad to have it end. Andy's a really good guy, and really easy to work with. -Check out his latest title release through Cryptic Games: Neverwinter.
It's an MMORPG, so, not my thing personally, but if you like 'em, go look, it's pretty popular.

Speaking of MMO Video Games, Be sure to check out the title Guild Wars 2, which just dropped last night.; My pal Horia, and his Old Man, and about a million of the greatest game-artists on the planet worked on it so it's gotta be good!


I think that's it for this month, but there's always more happening ALL THE TIME in my life, so keep your eyes here.

-Bryndon.

Sheesh! -I  haven't updated this blog in quite a while, have I?

So, here are some relevant headlines: I've set up a Facebook account for my artwork, you can see it here: http://www.facebook.com/BryndonEverett.Art

My new Website is up and glorius, thanks to the efforts of Michael Kramer of Sciosphere. Among other things, It's got all kinds of new sections, and a new, Extra-Amazing contact page which I think is just the topps. you can eyeball all these new, amazing things in the same 'ol place, here: http://www.bryndoneverett.com/

I even got a new, fancy phone, and an Instagram Account....I am all sorts of Digital-Age these days, No?. Anyway, I've got one, so follow me, I'll follow you, and we'll go around in circles.....because that's how that would work. My Instagram name is "bryndon_everett"      -Incidentally, That's also my real name.


I have been accepted to be published in the British Art/Literature Publication PopShot Magazine later this year, and I am very excited about that. -The theme is going to be a challenge for me, but I like a challenge, and .....well, more on all that jazz later.

I have been working a lot on Graphic Novel / Storyboard projects lately, and thought it might be fun to hammer out a quick personal one to show my process



Step By step.....almost. This does exclude the Inking Process, but it's ALMOST all there.....alsright fine, here is a bad photo of the inking process, and a shot of the materials used:


As you can see, Step one = red prismacolors, blue Verithins,
Step 1.5 - INKING,
Step 2 - Greyscaling (Which this time I did digitally, not with Tria Markers)
Step 3 - Colorwork. This is the most time consuming part, and I really need to learn flatting.
Step 4 - Shading and Texture....Obviously there is a lot involved with each step, including color halftoning, rendering, overlaying -TOO much to list here, but I thought it might be fun to see the broadstrokes (so to speak) of my process.

AND the final piece, bigger, and with the Title at the head.


For anybody who can't read Ukrainian, (Pssshhht...who CAN'T, these days?!?) I leave it to you to guess what it says.

-Go see all my Cyber stuff!

Thanks for sticking around; Until next time,
-B.

Been working hard, as always.

Literary piece

 Just clearing my head

Quick Digital Sketch for a Traditional media Gallery piece (more info to follow)

 I've had a busy few weeks, and haven't had time to draw much at all, so I've been making up for lost time.

These are only a couple of the pieces I've been working on. The girl was drawn on "Painters Paper" I bought a huge roll to do my floor, and ended up with loads left over. I like working on it. It's really inexpensive, very resistant to wrinkling from paint, doesn't bleed with markers, and is pretty resistant to creasing.....It's really nice, but terribly dark!

Ths second piece is done on leftover old newsprint from my Days at Gnomon (Man, I can't believe how long it's been) Anyway, I sketched it out, inked, and painted it, then decided it needed a little something extra, so, I scanned it in, and plotted out the lettering around him, and then put the piece through the printer to get the letters around him.....Kind of a lot of effort for a sketch, I'll admit, but I really like how it came out, and now I know how to do it for future works, so it works out all over.

I also decided to re-draw one of my own digital works in traditional media. Again, I used the Panter's paper ($10 for 60 sq.ft. at HomeDepot!) This is how it came out: I'm pretty happy with it. I again used the scan-and-print method I devised earlier to ad the blue behind the subject of this piece.

I've also been working on a couple of commissions and contract pieces, but I'm not yet allowed to share those, stick around though, maybe soon.
