Announcements Animated Horror from Around the World @ ConnectiCon I am very excited to announce that my brand new panel, Animated Horror from Around the World, will be debuting at ConnectiCon next month. This is an idea I've been developing for years and it's finally going to happen. Here's the full description: While
Art Death Metal Death Metal is one of the boss fights in Crypt of the NecroDancer, the rougelike rhythm/turn-based strategy game I'm obsessed with. He fights to the fastest song in the game, spawning enemies to battle for him every few steps once his bat shield flies off. His scythe
Art 365 Sketch 2015: Meditation Gave my new Faber Castell water-soluble graphite pencils a try. I like how easily they blend with water, but need to experiment with them on actual watercolor paper. I'm wondering how much of the line-art I can get to stay or if I need to couple them with
Art 365 Sketch 2015: The All Seeing Eye It's Eye-ception. It's a floating eye within an eye with an eye within an eye. No, I don't understand where I come up with this stuff. Kind of cute though, right? 365 Sketch 2015: The All Seeing Eye watercolor pencil, watercolor, and marker
Art 365 Sketch 2015: Invasion I wanted to draw a robot today. Mission accomplished? I did intend to use more color, but then I sketched in detail with a really vibrant blue and didn't want to wreck it. 365 Sketch 2015: Invasion watercolor pencil
Art 365 Sketch 2015: Red Chest Mimic More Crypt of the Necrodancer art. Today, we're exploring the wonderful world of mimics. The chest mimics look like regular treasure chests in the game, only they're bouncing along to the beat. If you move next to them they start gnashing their teeth and chasing you
Art 365 Sketch 2015: 3 Heads Are Better Than 1 Another day, another monster. This 3-headed cutie popped into my head after a long day of subbing and I can't explain why. All I was doing was working on a treatment for a play that has nothing to do with tentacled monstrosities. Watercolor pencil and nightmare fuel.
Art 365 Sketch 2015: Happy Blue Zombie I felt like doing a watercolor sketch of a happy zombie. It's kind of cute? In a deranged, oozing, broke-neck way, of course. Watercolor pencil.
Art 365 Sketch 2015: Oldboy Now that's more like it. I rewatched Oldboy for the first time in probably 10 years last night. Still amazing. I knew I had to put my spin on the octopus scene. watercolor pencil.
Event Fourth Annual Cinefessions Summer Screams Challenge – Sketchy Details' List FINAL LISTIt's that time of the year again. Our friends over at Cinefessions are hosting their Fourth Annual Cinefessions Summer Screams Challenge. This is now a summer institution at Sketchy Details, as I've competed every year this contest has existed. You can join me, too, by
Art 365 Sketch 2015: Arrietty I'm really going to push to get this site up and running again this week. I've been drawing a lot, but not stuff I can share here. Proposal sketches for sets, props, costumes, and marketing stuff for theater groups. You can see the stuff I can
Announcements Updates and Such Sorry for the absence again. I'm busy. My schedule never slowed down like it usually does after months of work on a musical and now I'm at the school just as much test proctoring as I was for ADing and Music Directing. I also have a
Art AniMAY2015: Re-Kan: First Impressions I am going to be truthful. I have barely watched an episode of Re-Kan. I'm busy. I went straight from a very challenging stage musical into moderator duties for AP testing and I'm basically the walking dead right now. What I can say is I'
Art AniMAY 2015: The Rolling Girls (2015) Welcome to AniMAY at Sketchy Details, our annual celebration of all things Japanese animation. Up first is a brand new series I've fallen for fast and hard: The Rolling Girls. 10 years after the Great War destroyed Tokyo, the remnants of the city are broken up into the
Announcements Nightmare Fuel I'm alive. I'm at the tail end of a very long tech period on The Drowsy Chaperone and have been doing crazy things like assembly-lining monkey masks for dancers. This is why I didn't sleep last night. Not that I was still making them.
Art 365 Sketch 2015: Day 111: Plusle & Minun Oh, THERE are the characters my friend asked me to draw yesterday. My bad. Charcoal.
Art 365 Sketch 2015: Day 110: Mas y Menos A friend asked me to draw Mas y Menos. They actually meant Plus and Minus, the Pokemon, but I took them at their word. Sorry bout it. Charcoal.
Art 365 Sketch 2015: Day 109: Skitty I'll switch out of Pokemon mode soon. They're just comparatively easy things to sketch when I'm less than two weeks out for production. Graphite crayon
Art 365 Sketch 2015: Day 108: Ho-oh Ho-oh is one of the early legendary Pokemon. He has a terrible name but incredible power. It's a trade off. graphite crayon
Film Slipstream Reviews #1: It Follows I've wanted to do a film review comic for a long time. No time like the present. Enjoy this graphic look at the solid new horror film It Follows. See it in theaters if you can. It Follows definitely benefits from the intimacy and hypnotic power of the
Art 365 Sketch 2015: Day 107: Trubbish There's one more Pokemon I had to draw this week. His name is Trubbish. He is a living garbage bag. Why? I don't know. It just seems cruel. Graphite crayon
Art 365 Sketch 2015: Day 105 & 106: Litwik and Klefki Sketches from yesterday and today. Litwik is a candle ghost Pokemon. Klefki is a keyring ghost pokemon who steals keys from people. They're my favorite non-murderous ghost-types.
Art 365 Sketch 2015: Day 104: Cryogonal More Pokemon action. I'm subbing today and wanted to challenge myself with a lot of hard geometry to wake up. Mission accomplished. Meet Cryogonal, the eternally sad ice Pokemon. Graphite crayon.
Art 365 Sketch 2015: Day 103: Mudkip More Pokemon illustrating today. Mudkip is popular, I hear. Graphite crayon
Art 365 Sketch 2015: Day 102: Scraggy I've been rightly told I've been neglecting the Pokemon. Scraggy was next, for he has swag. Graphite crayon
