Dragon-A-Day Online: Day 674: Om Nom Nom (Not the good kind).

By Phill – May 22, 2013

“Gimme your fear,
Murder, respect beer,
Honeys and sex right here,
Up in the checks for years, hungry and stressed…”
-Big Pun, “Leatherface”

I’m stressed out for a number of reasons tonight, and seem to be having an allergy attack/the First Cold of Summer, so I kind of feel like this at the moment:

Don’s Directory of Illustration page…a work in progress

By Don – May 22, 2013

Working on the new page

While dealing with my current deadlines, I need to produce a new page for my Directory of Illustration slot. It is due tomorrow (and they have already given me two weeks slag time).

This is my current offering. One National Geographic piece, one Men’s fitness. One double truck illo from Popular Science (reduced to a quarter page) and then a foundation piece on the Concordia from Scientific American.

The jury is out. I’m sending it to a local printer tomorrow to see how it looks. I have two dozen pieces that want to replace everything…but I need to find the art that will bring in business. My previous pages have been to crammed with art.

Elephant

MH_ELEPHANT

I love elephants. I think they’re cool. I made this drawing/picture a while ago. I was inspired by being at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. After I took the Kilimanjaro Safari ride in Harambe Village and saw the elephants hanging out by the baobab tree I made a few inspired drawings. Just thinking about the relationship of people, elephants and trees and plants. Love the elephants! I’m so happy I’ll be taking the safari ride this summer! Yay!

Dragon Mountain 2 Finish

By Greg Newbold – May 22, 2013

Just finishing this one up today from the Boys' Life story I am working on. I may adjust some of the shadows a little but for the most part I like it. I posted the preliminary sketch here. Having a well worked out value drawing definitely seems to speed up the painting phase. I spent about four or five hours rendering this in Photoshop. I am hoping the opening spread comes together as quickly since I have about five deadlines that are one on top of the other at the moment.

Cheers for Ears

By NIXON – May 22, 2013

In March 2010, the Ear Science Institute Australia implemented the Cheers for Ears program. Cheers for Ears focuses on noise-induced hearing loss as a result of entertainment noise, particularly from personal music players. With mounting evidence that an increasing number of school-aged children are suffering from hearing loss as a result of noise exposure, it [...]

New Illustration for the NDIA

By Tin Salamunic – May 21, 2013

This is a recent ad illustration for the NDIA (National Defense Industrial Association) via MOAA (Military Officers Association of America). The theme was Mental Health: Linking Warriors and Their families, Government, and Society. The concept was a soldier with traumatic brain injuries or PTSD arriving home and being supported by his family. Tried to keep it more graphic this time around. Below you can also see some of the other concepts I submitted.
