BS/OD OST – Old School

Today I wanted to do something that sounded a bit more gritty and old school.  So, I picked out some Rhodes sounds as well as some Mellotron flute sounds. I think adding the bit of dub delay on the drums and the swirly synth rounded things out nicely in a somewhat minimalistic way.

Since this song has some tones from the past, I thought this one could go to Father.  After all, he’s pretty much the oldest one in the comic.  Enjoy!

David and Goliath

Even though I’m rendering about 12-16 panels a week for the comic, I still feel that I need more practice composing scenes. I realize that when it comes to lighting and color, I don’t really have a lot of education on what works well together. I think I need to find a book on that sort of thing since I keep getting the feeling that this may be one of those things that I’m just not going to figure out on my own.

Anyway, here’s the piece I put together today. The robot at the end of the hall is kind of difficult to make out since it really has a complex color make up. I’m not sure if that’s my fault or the fault of the person that designed that figure. Maybe it’s just one of those things that looks better as a close up.

I did work on some other pieces early this week as well.  The first is a button design that I will start selling at Baltimore Comic Con in a few weeks. Kate came up with the idea for this one and I think I did a pretty decent job putting it all together.

The last piece is something I came up with while working on yesterdays comic.  It’s my silly attempt at doing a BS/OD propaganda type poster.  I suppose it came out alright.

National Lighthouse Day

Since yesterday was National Lighthouse Day, Kate and I decided to take a trip to Southern Maryland to see a couple of the lighthouses that they had there since it was a rather nice day for such a journey. It takes about two hours for us to drive to Calvert, Maryland and that’s not too bad despite my dislike of long car rides.

We decided not to partake of marine museum since it wasn’t free but checking out the lighthouses didn’t cost anything. I ended up with a handful of decent pictures while we were there and you can check them out below. All in all, it was nice to get out of the house and see something different.
