Firefly Commentary

Our Mrs. ReynoldsI've recorded a commentary track for the Firefly episode "Our Mrs. Reynolds."

I discuss stuff like story structure and thematic elements, but hopefully it's enlightening and not dull like something you endured in high school English class.

Running time is about 44 minutes. Contains minor spoiler about the "Objects In Space" episode.

Fairy Portrait

My current project is a digital painting of my daughter as a wood fairy. Starting from a digital photo, the image was masked and brush effects and other tweaks are applied.

The last step is finding a suitable background and giving a unified feel to all the elements of the image. The background in the third image is a starting point...it's hopefully going to end up more ethereal and mystical.

 

Firefly Comic

I've had a FIrefly fan fic story cooking in my head for a couple months now. And for some reason the form I envision it would take is a digital comic.

I don't know why, because this is probably the most masochistic thing I could do to myself. The work involved would be insane.

I've written a lot of story material, but the other half of the equation (indeed perhaps the majority of it) is the art. I need to know if this is doable.

The image above is my first test image. And I must stress, this is purely experimentational, a relative quickie. This ended up having a very airbrushed look to it. Not quite what I was expecting, but interesting. I need to try an approach that yields a more conventional comic coloration. More testing is in order.
