2012 Cap'N and 2013 Whats Happen'N

December 30, 2012

Thanks to all the customers and fans of me (Eryck Webb) and my work and all your support. The likes on Facebook grow every week, and the new watchers and fav's on Deviant Art increase. I'm also very very happy at the increased response and following on the blog site. Thank you thank you for all that. This little pipe dream that started 4 years ago has really gone from 'drawing 5 pencil drawings a day' to help generate income during an employment struggle, to - well its really turned into SOMETHING. Now I can honestly say, its something. And I'm excited to see where its going. Good bye 2012, and heres to 2013.

I've got some professional and personal goals for the New Year, a couple of them are:

  • Less saying what I'm going to do, and promising stuff to clients, and just getting it done and doing the best I can
  • Less taking on more work than I can get done in a reasonable time
  • No adjusting the price-list more than once a quarter, if that.
  • EWG work first, personal time out of the studio second and personal projects third.
  • Faster turnarounds
Thats a few must-haves for me on the professional end, and I've got a handful on the personal end as well.

What goals is everyone else setting for the coming year?

Spidey WarmUp

December 28, 2012

A couple days later I splashed on some colors to finish it out

Pretty stiff and what not after a couple days off for the christmas holiday. After all that christmas commission drawing frenzy even 3 or 4 days my hands got lazy. So wanted to do a nice full blown warmup this morning before tackling client work. Glad I did, really got the hands loosened up pushing through a lot of difficulty with his pose and proportions, but finaly my hands got warmed up and it started coming out right. The cobwebs are out and ready to tackle some client work. Everything the past couple days has been non-drawing type production so now I'm ready to draw draw draw!

Fun stuff, might finish out w/ background/ colors eventualy but I am very happyw ith this how it is. I love spiderman, and have never done a proper or very good art of him, so i think this is my best drawing of him to date!

Client work is go!

Christmas Commission Livestream Videos

December 22, 2012

Posting on the EWG site, previously unseen Livestream videos of the process on some of the Christmas Commissions I've been working on over the last couple weeks. Unless you were hanging out live watching them or at the livestream site recently, you probably didn't get a chance to check these out. Including the video of today's 2 coloring process, and one I just finished before making this entry, a start to finish of the Queen of Hearts order. I need collection of the Christmas Commission Special I've been working hard at. Really happy with the art produced and really ties it together with the season when theres one extra change or element I can do to really knock it out of the park for a customer that they wouldnt expect.

Enjoy!

Post Apocalyptic Mutant Girls - EWG Christmas Commission

Click image above, to enlarge

One of two christmas commissions finished up today, meant to emulate similar composition to the 'gas mask girl' piece I did before. Same universe. Had some free reign on the 'mutant' design, it was meant to be a person dealing with the effect of the fallout, not a monsterous grotesque person but a genetic mishap and they're trying to make the most of it surviving in this world thats become the 'new normal'.
Fun stuff, enjoyed articulating the guns based on actual photo reference of existing ones. Sooo yep
I also love sneaking in things like that 'wrong way' road sign. Fun stuff... more to come


Comments and questions welcome. Thanks for looking!

Post Apocalypse and Cap'n Are Whats Happen'n



Work in progress screen shots of 2 christmas orders I'm working on today. Diggin how the gun came out, reference is the key kiddies :) The uzi's with modifiers and laser aim will be equaliy as 'correct'. Doin some post apocalypse and disneys cap'n hook today. Hopefuly later on after a much needed visit with the wife at the hopsital later I'll get a couple more done :) Was up till 3am lastnight, why not tonight too? :) Then got up around 9 and got to work again. Hey, I eat sleep and breathe this shiz. Anyways, get them finished up after lunch. These pencils are as far as I'm going to take them. Will finish the rest in the inking process/ colors.

Now for a sammich or something, and I'm currently working on season 2 of the Avengers. They've taken it up a notch, pretty darn good. And Ultimate Spiderman I'm working on occassionaly too. REALLY amazing art direction and animation, sometimes i wish it didn't have the spastic goofiness but it works well with spidey's personality i think. ANYWAYZ, get these wrapped up soon.

Post Apocalyptic Mutant Survivors Notepad Sketch

Sketch for a Christmas Commission I did up at the hospital Thursday, one of several I'm hoping to finish today.

Fridays batch of fin Christmas Commissions Updated




I really like how this one came out, out of a batch I was working on today. They all came out really good but this one was a lotta fun. Hope the customer likes it! A green-lantern type heroine chillin on a planet in her bathing suit at a lake and workin on her flower creating with her powers, showin off a bit. Or making a rose lounge chair? You be the judge.
Will post the others later on. For now, I got it done (okay almost 3 hours past Friday) on the day I wanted to get it done by. Time for bed! Goodnight!

End o' the week update

On the agenda through the weekend, is tackling those remaining Christmas Commissions, and making them all AWESOME! Each day if time I will tackle one regular order as well. Yesterday I was on track with a regular order of a Iron Man commission (preview above) and my fuzzy son decided to go chicken bone diving and scare the crap out of all of us and get him a free truck ride to the vet. His rebellious trash diving resulted in updating all his shots and an x-ray and lots of man handling :) Hes also on a restricted 'bland' diet till Monday. No treats for going potty outside, no regular human or dog food. Just boiled beef and rice, and let me tell ya. Thats some DRY STUFF! Which is the point. So that was a bit of a day lost yesterday, but back on the reigns, did my morning Bump On A Log warm-up this morning inspired by said event. Over at http://bumponalogcomic.blogspot.com or http://bumponalog.deviantart.com, and ready to crack down on Christmas commissions. Doing 4-6 today. That number is always dependent on when I get to say the fourth, and I feel the quality of my pencils is waning, I stop and proceed to do ink/ color production, and wait to pencil more later on when I'm more fresh.

Monster Girl and Daimyo - Christmas Commissions Finished Up

December 18, 2012


Got these two wrapped up tonight, never really drawn a samurai guy before but fan of plenty of shows/ etc that have them so I know the drill :) Badass lightning fast draw... all that. And some cool shehulk-esque dragon girly, the challenge was make her armor-ish and scaley and keep her smexy. And super cut muscular style :) Check check check. Enjoy, for now only posting them on EWG website... will slowly add new stuff to the Deviant Art gallery as I go!

Thanks for lookin :) Was planning on posting the livestream session and what not, but must have pressed the wrong button when saving or something, I'm not seeing it available ... damn! Well, these two characters took me about 3 hours start to finish (800ish-1100ish) - were a lotta fun. Heres a sketch of the work in progress below:

Transformers G1 Background WIP


An approval sketch on its way to the customer who commissioned this piece, of g1 autobots and decepticons facing off for a website background graphic. Composed and kept farely rough till customer approves it. Yeah... lotta fun workin on the ol' g1 crew. Will be full color w/ the woiks when done.

Batch of Christmas Commissions 1

 









Wanted to toss up the full batch of the Christmas Special commissions I've done so far, so far a nice collection going on, more to come! Got 25 in all. But enjoy this batch all in one place, only on the EWG website (sure their on Deviant Art but not all in one place :) )


Narthex Commission Finished

Finished up this BW commission of 'Narthex' a cool dragon girly type character. She doesnt always wear aviator gear but saw one like that in the reference and was like 'yeah! i wanna do that one!' so did her up like a little aviator ready for epic adventures!
Did way more gray tones than needed too but they came out nice I think
Also available to view and FAV on Deviant Art  http://eryckwebbgraphics.deviantart.com/art/Narthex-Commission-343503785

Sephiroth Commission - Wrapped up



Just wrapped up this order of a Sephiroth graphic which I designed to work as a isolated image for a tattoo. Thought this would look pretty sweet with the wing wrapping around and the fire (cause hes a badass who always has to be standing in or by fire) - werd! Makes me wanna watch Advent Children again!

Maleficent - Fin Christmas Commission

December 17, 2012

A finished christmas commission of the sleeping beauty villainess, 'Maleficent' .. the sorceress who eventualy turns herself into a large dragon which retains many of the design characteristics of her human form. 
Fun lady to draw, with a little liberty or two of my own added in :) 
Also available on Deviant Art for viewing and faving :) 

Saria Christmas Elf - Christmas Commish update

Just a quick update. Whenever I get a chance to go above and beyond for a great customer who I really enjoy working for I always take it. Sure its a special where the prices are discounted and theres technicaly no changes, but hey... it didn't take that long and I know it'll make them 100x happier :) In this case I heard the request for the short style pigtails, but opted for a whim of big long exaggerated ones, but the customer wasn't looking for that, so naturaly they weren't completely satisfied. So I saw the opportunity to go in and hack off some hair and make her look righ t:) And might I say I love both versions, so there she be (above), the updated one! Waiting all cuddly in the customers stocking (inbox) ... hope they like it better! So theres a little christmas spirit for ya. Enjoy sir Saria of the Linde!
And the other Christmas commission for today, was fun doin a cute christmas elf, somethin smexy something christmasy. Nice to have free reign like that on a commission :) Alrighty, more to come over the week

Jam - Guilty Gear - Finished Christmas Commission

Another Christmas special commission wrapped up today! This and the other of an elf character were fun to draw, and I really think I found that style I like to try to acheive with every work. Fun stuff. Will post more as it comes. Also available to view and fav on Deviant Art - http://eryckwebbgraphics.deviantart.com/art/Jam-Guilty-Gear-EWG-Christmas-Commission-343365295
Thanks for looking, and as always... comments welcome! (Below or on DA or on FB)

2 Christmas Commissions in progress - finished BW

Post the one on the left later on!

Fairchild Warmup Sketch

Did up a little Gen13 fairchild for warm-up this morning, took it a bit farther and 'neater' than meant to but was fun. The backside of some women is comparable (in my opinion) in attractiveness to that of a nicely designed backend of a sports car or something. Just the shape and design from the side/ back always has the 'highly tuned' stance about it. The angles, and the shape. Alright that's my rant, getting to work.

Christmas Commissions - Jafar from Aladdin

December 16, 2012

Check out the latest post to the EWG gallery on Deviant Art, another Christmas Commission wrapped up of the Disney Villain, 'Jafar'!

Merry Christmas from EWG!

December 10, 2012

The title of this post says it all, hope everyone has a great holiday whether its Christmas, or Hannukah or any others. Enjoy the shopping, the nostalgia, the aesthetics of the season and remember to have hope and be thankful for the fortunate things in your life :) Thank you to everyone who made the Christmas special a success this year, look forward to those commissions getting to you well before Christmas day and any orders seeing a delay are on the slate to be finished up by end of the year. 

Heres looking forward to 2013, an even better EWG than years past, and more great things to come. Posting this up a little early, since the Christmas sale is booked and over, and now all thats left is production, and to kick off some EWG holiday spirit early :) 

Everyone have a great holiday, thank you SO much for supporting EWG and my art, and can't wait to do my best to take everything up another notch in 2013, but one thing that won't go up is the prices :)

December 6, 2012

Just one of the several I'm doing today in tight sketch form!

it IS a special day cause today I'm cranking on nothing but XMAS SPECIALS!! Thanks to wifey's momma for taking her to the hospital today and giving me all day to work starting here this morning. Got my stopwatch app to keep me on task as well. No time to shower, coffee is reloaded, music is cued, ready to roll! Oh and I'm on livestream :) If you have ordered a 20 dollar commission I invite you to come watch them come to life!

http://www.livestream.com/eryckwebbgraphicsart/ - if i'm not on its cause i'm restarting the computer or doing a quick break but will be back. This is an all day event baby

Rock n roll!

Was up for better part of the day. Middle of the afternoon I stopped livestream and continued working as it was causing the rendering to go slower. Working away. Have these done soon hopefuly!

Ungrounded Pg2 Commission Production WIP

December 5, 2012

A Work In Progress Look at Patrick Gerard's 'Ungrounded' page 2
Some heavy duty page production going on today. Inking my arse off but really want these to look great. Heres a work in progress shot with the backgrounds rendered on the establishing shots of these first three panels and then just gotta finish up the lineart on the characters, more black fills, and going back in with white/ black for some blending/ feathering effects. Coming along though. I'm digging it. Especialy the look of that blown out office space on panel 3 - alrighty. back to it.

Follow up - adding the finished top panel, diggin it :) Took a while but think it came out pretty good!


Todays 5 min Warmup Sketch


Did a 5 minute warmup sketch session to get the ol' hand loose and the pen warmed up (really does make a difference when I remember to do this) so here it is in all its sketchy sketchy quick and messy glory. Kinda fun! Doing comic page commissions all day today, plus cover pencils - got a full day ahead! Xmas commissions are already underway, lost some work on them lastnight due to a power outage that lasted about 2 hours from all the wind lastnight but no harm done... gettin rolling for the rest of the week :)

Thanks to EWG blogsite and Facebook followers! This is the kinda crazy stuff you get to see (rather than just finished materials on DeviantArt) in sketchy sketch warmup and other extra-curricular snapshots .. hope you enjoy this kinda stuff. Always fun doing them

Tuesday Commissions Gearin up

December 4, 2012

Alrighty, checking in to the studio this afternoon getting things rolling. Wading through emails and notes and messages. Thanks to all the great response on the EWG Christmas special so far, hope it continues, as I think it is a great value for the customer and a fun challenge for me :) Also thanks for the recent influx of comic page jobs, glad people enjoy my sequential work. I'm available on Yahoo Messenger at eryckwebb3@yahoo.com and will be sure to be doing a live stream session or two sometime this week. Have a great rest of the week

Season's Greetings - Snapshot

November 29, 2012


Something I was sort of bursting at the seems to show off tonight. Really just cut loose had a lot of fun with this whilst working on it this evening. This is just a snapshot of a part of it, mainly wanted to focus on the awesome background paints and the overall painted style which I havent done in forever. Was really fun. Obviously gettin into the seasonal spirit a bit. Anywho, all I can show for now but wanted to show it a bit before callin it quits for the night. Pickup work tomorrow.
