More bass playin' goodness...

It's been a busy week. Working on a freelance gig, getting ready for Archon at the end of the month, and I spent a large chunk of today moving stuff around in the studio, to make room for stuff from the office, which is going to be the new babies room.
So all you get is this sketch. Like I said last week, the pose on the sheep dog character was just too close to the one that I'd already used on the Goat, so I changed that around a bit, and I think I'm also going to use an upright bass (Like the bassist for The Reverend Horton Head, pictured on the left) as well, to give him a little more character. So that's it for this week. I'll have more goodies for you next time.
Take care and be good.
Your friend,

More pics of the band: The Bassist

Started work on the bassist for the animal band this week. The sheep dog. I wanted an animal that I felt you could rely on to be there when you need him to be, but that is also is pretty laid back. I don't know anything about real sheep dogs, or their temperaments, but this is the impression I get.
The image in the upper left is my working drawing that I pulled into illustrator to act as a guide as I create the final character. In the lower right hand corner is the bass guitar that I intend to use as a model for the final instrument for this character. In the center is a mockup of the final character (that I put way more effort into than I should have, but I wanted you all to have something nice to look at, and I'm putting off going to bed...).
I've started vectorizing his head, and am playing with how much (or whether I even should) of his eyes and mouth I should show. Also, I noticed that his pose is almost exactly like the keytar player, so I should probably think about that a little more before I get too far into this.
Thanks for looking, and until I talk at you again tommorrow, take care and be good.
