Gun Nose Rough from Dave Garcia!!

There's critical mass for getting the Gun Nose Chronicles comic book done by the 2011 Con ... this just in from Dave Garcia, the artist who was to my left on Artist's Alley at the 2010 Con. A.A. is such a melting pot and over five days Dave and I got to know one another and our work, etc., to the point that Dave suggested doing a short for the comic called "Have Gun (Nose) Will Travel" where Gun Nose shows up with Dave's characters from "Shadow of the West."

And here is the first rough, just a couple of weeks away from the show's close. Naturally, I can't spoil the ending ...

Aaaah. So much to look forward to in 2011.

The Link is to Dave's Shadow of the West Web comic (when he has six issues done, he'll seek paper publishing). Lots of fun!

OK, it's old--but it's up. I'm trying to do what I can to up the tempo of our drawing posts.

(Drawing from a Bernini bust of a celebrity chef, drawn from life. His face is inexcusably too big, but I resisted urge to correct it in PhoSho.)

The ambient light is so poor, I just ignore the idea of detail as I draw. It gives me an instant headache to try and focus on close work. But the main flaw that bugs me as I look at all these is the second one down. The see through the man's arm to the girl model shows a comfortabl seated set of hips that doesn't at all mate to the upper girl body hanging over the man's shoulder.
