Working on the next Quill story. Finishing it up for release next week. #visualdevelopment #illustration #vr #oculus #quill #animation

Long shot in VR using an iPhone and Oculus Quill. Seasons change but we always find a place to sketch regardless. For everyone at #ctn this year have fun and be inspired! Catch you all next year and pretty soon I’ll have a more complete vid of the entire Quillustration! #oculus #quill #animation #conceptart #visualdevelopment (at San Rafael, California)

I used this as a warm up and place to experiment with different ink and paper. I’m not sure it’s something I’ll use going forward and it’s heavily filtered here for that reason. Although, most ink work looks different in person before everything goes to print and all the levels are adjusted for maximum impact. Oh well! I’ll be inking the final for this in the future for sure! #ink #inking #illustration (at San Rafael, California)

You guys are probably getting tired of these late night posts, huh? True to form, here’s another one. Riker and Data from Star Trek TNG for #inktober tonight.
