Picture Retouch

Here is a picture of my Oldest sister. the original picture is over 40 years old so as you can see (on the Left) it had seen better times. I retouched it to bring it back to when it was better viewed (on the Right).

I was hired to do another Graphic design job by a company in Africa. this company is a large distributor of chicken in muslin's nations. They requested a Character graphic corporate logos (such As "Jeffery" of Toys 'R' Us, "Ronald" of McDonalds, or "Charlie" of Starkest Tuna) these tend to be a bit more expensive due to the character created with, as a mascot for company advertising and recognition. I sent them a few choices. this is what they "Loved and chose" thier word not mine.

This time in a production is always bitter/sweet or rather sweet/bitter. My company Bottom of the Drawer Pictures had just finished all the preproduction on our animated series Captain Obvious. We are currently shopping the Show to the networks. Here is our pitch one-pager. this is what is sent to execs of networks, so they get a quick idea of the show.

If they like what they see we then we send a pitch bible (a hardcover book) of the show. We have a pitch bible which you can see.

The last set of pictures shows all the pitch books and Business portfolio.

Hey all to all my fans

2008-12-02T08:24:00.000-08:00

hey all two of you,
I know it's been awhile and , I wish I could say it's because of Work but it's honesty It's because I've been really lazy. But I hope this make up for it. I created a WIP (work in progress) to show you how I create an Image in 8 easy steps
Okay... here are most of my secrets in eight simple steps.

Step 1: chose your character, and how you best want to represent that character. for this example, I chose black canary (just to try someone new). Many thank to Mr-Representational for the sample picture, i did not follow his picture to the T because I wanted to represent in my own style.

Step 2: Always start with a Stick Figure. It help as a starting point, and you will build from there. Now for my picture, I want my Black Canary to be somewhat facing forward so I drew my stick figure as such.

Step 3: Start to add Shapes. I mostly only add circles, because we want our character to have jump out, and the best way to make a flat image pop out, is to make it break the plain with balls (In the animation profession this is Called Circle Theory) this gives character a soul.

Step 4: After you have the general idea of your character it is best to switch colors of your drawing pencil so you can add details, I chose blue to not get lost in a sea of red marks.

Step 5: After scanning in you final Sketch, You should ink it in the colors you wish to paint your character. Be careful this is where many beginning animators mess up, because You have an idea of COLOR THEORY to out line Your character. Color theory is the choosing of the outlining color. Depending on light and what color you chose for a certain section should be planed out.

Step 6: This is what is known as Undercolor. It is called Under color because your top layer will always be Your color theory line. You should always separate each color to it's own layer this help in later steps.

Step 7: If you separated the colors in thier own layer this step should be easy, just add a shadow layer right above each color and darken each color where you want shadow.
follow a simple light source ad have all your shadows in that direction. I chose my light source straight in front of the Character ( this is a bit advance because the shadows fall in many different directions)

Step 8: this is the highlight and texture step. what I do is draw out my texture design on a new file. i draw it flat in a small section and copy and paste it to enlarge the texture design. i do this about 30 to 40 times and then transfer the file to my Black canary. I use the warp tool in Adobe Photoshop to make it fit to my design. This adds depth to the picture.

There you have it. Sorry if this reads not to well, but like many artist i have dyslexia and find it hard to write with out going over 6 to 9 time. Black Canary is ™ and © DC Comics.

Fans Request

2008-03-29T11:13:00.000-07:00

At the beginning of this month I ask what should I do. "for the fans" on my Deviant art page (http://tompach.deviantart.com/art/For-the-Fans-79524504), although I'm a lot better with women then men Indiana Jones was suggested, so here you go my rendition of the original "Tomb Raider".
If you notice, I even added the scar Harrison Ford has on his chin.
You tell me which you prefer the black or white background

The Rise of Supergirl

2008-02-06T05:30:00.000-08:00

As Anyone knows, I'm a huge Supergirl fan. After some great inspiration I decided to draw Supergirl through the ages. From left to right we have the 1996 Supergirl (made famous by the Bruce Timm cartoon), then the 1970's Supergirl stands second, followed by the 1980's (power) Supergirl. In the center, we have Supergirl of Today (costume based on Superman Return Costume), Next we have the 2nd Supergirl of the 1980's to the early 1990's, followed by the first to start the Supergirl franchise in the 1960's costume. Lastly, we have Powergirl who is Supergirl from another Dimension.
