Artificial Sunrise - A Space Opera

Well, looks like I've already failed on my promise to keep this updated every week, but I'll continue to do the best I can. Things have been brewing lately, but most of it has been plotting and planning, so there's not a lot to show for it yet. The latest draft of the story is well underway, with some major breakthroughs wrapping up most of the remaining loose ends, and Project LN is proceeding nicely. More updates should be coming from that front shortly after the first of the year. An Occurrence, the first short we filmed for PMP's upcoming, "Dire Digest," is finally nearing a complete cut, which means it will soon be off to lighting and sound correction. And lastly, our final comics project is right around the corner, which promises to keep me busy for the next couple of weeks. Luckily, I've gotten ahold of my mentor for the rest of the program, and I anticipate some quality stuff coming out of our camp once we get a chance to meet up next week. Check him out at awesomebuttrue.com.

That's all the updates for now, but until the next, keep it real, friends. I swear to you one day your time spent coming back to this site will all be made worthwhile.

Happy holidays, everybody!

Not a lot new in the world of Artificial Sunrise right now. Guest speaker in class was interesting, if somewhat uninspiring. Today was also the first night of drinks after drawing, so blog/website posting will likely be pushed back to Thursday in the very near future. But I couldn't miss out tonight for fear of disappointing my loyal fans, so here you have it. Check out the concept art section for a single new page concept, and come back for more next week.

Hopefully, much more. 

Cheers,

Today was the first day of class with our new comics instructor, Jesse Recklaw. We had a half-class with Nicole to see her off, then welcomed Jesse into the fold for a lesson on lettering, which was really helpful. I've been practicing my lettering for years now, but I never really thought I was getting much better, only faster. So I was pumped when he shot me a compliment on my lettering skills after handing back my sketchbook, saying this stuff should be easy for me. That's great incentive to keep it up, and looking at it now, there is marked improvement from even just a year ago. I'm excited to go and get some new pens this weekend and work on expanding my stylistic toolkit. 

On the Sunrise front, Project LN is building rapid steam, our network is gradually weaving its way together, and R.D.'s bloody getting married next week, so things seem to be steaming along quite nicely. Check out the Concept Art section for a couple of new gems from the archive if you're interested. I suspect one of them may creep you out in a way you've never quite experienced before. 

Until next,
