The end of the war...




And the end result was worth the process after all.

in "art" i get really used to working completely alone. Doing illustration, coloring, text and layout all by myself can get pretty overwhelming. its very nice to have a chance to focus on one thing and trust someone else to do the rest.


i'm definitely happy with the end result of the flier and look forward to being drunk at the party!

I just woke up after a 24 hour coma and am now ready to get onto other things.

Woot!

Love X War 3: THE FINAL BATTLE!



WHEW!

its all done!

My client likes the final result, which became an amalgamation of the FIRST and SECOND illustrations, only switched and chopped and re-worked a bit.

honestly, its not my best work, but i'm happy with it. i hope he is too, i really cant wait to see the final flier once its gone through the graphic design process.

ANYWAY, its now time to pass the fuck out.

goodnite sweet blog.

Love X War Round II



SO here's my second attempt at this current project. My client had a few changes to the original but since i didnt like the original at all i decided to go ahead and re-do the whole thing.

i've learned that i kinda suck at following directions...i didnt Eeeeexactly make all the eeexact changes he requested but i tried.

this project has been a strain on me because i havent been having a "good drawing week"

any artists out there know what i'm talking about...some weeks you just cant draw anything good. that was my week.

you can still tell by the above image.

my foreshortening is for shit.

WHATEVER i'm just being negative cuz i've been awake for forever.

i hope he likes this rendition.

anyway, i'm gonna drink some tequila and watch the new episode of "Drag Race."

Love X War



The above image is still very much in progress. its supposed to be for a flier for an upcoming party here in atlanta. i've been working on it for ENTIRELY too long and i think i've hit a block. the drawing is alright and all but its definitely not where it needs to be.

i dunno. i'm having alot of wacky personal issues and its just been a process.

Anyway, i could go on for hours but i wont...i'll just say that i wanted to update this cuz its been a while and i'll update again once i've redone the whole thing.

i'm also torn because i havent heard back from my client in a while so i dont know how he feels about the progress.

but thats neither here nor there. in the meantime, its back to the drawing board--LITERALLY.

-DAX!
