Since I’m beginning to find a potential career in freelance illustration, I’m trying to learn the ins and outs of my tablet, and here’s what I came up with today. I’m a terrible judge of everything I draw (I’m trying to get better too!) , but I hope you enjoy it

Skeer?

Oh, poor Tony and Chase…I feel for them, especially naive Chase…Perhaps a painful accident will befall Tony’s father?

I think only Taryn’s father could take him down a few notches.

I like it! Although it makes me think of The Maxx…

I don’t think I’ve read that comic since I was 13, and it terrified me then haha

Holy Crap – that is awesome. I can’t wait to see what happens when you “Learn the ins and outs” of your tablet.

Maybe a “realistic” drawing of monty

This is only the 5th? attempt at digital painting I’ve done, and I would LOVE to do a real painting of Monty

Epic Rhino is epic.

Haha, thank Austin

“Learning the ins and outs” he says. Translation: I have more talent in my pinkie toe than y’all have in your whole body

haha, thank you, but I assure you, I need to grow a lot more before I can say I can draw pretty things

What are the two blue-greenish lines on Chase’s face in the second panel, above his right eyebrow?

Sweat. It’s the same color as the drool in the last panel.

I was 2nd guessing the color of that drool and sweat too

sweetlilgiggles

WOW, Scott!!! It’s beautiful! You definitely should explore some more…and put your findings up for sale, because you’ll make a LOT of money with it!

Poor Chase…does ANYONE’S dad like him? Lol

http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus

I plan on doing more of these, because I need to build up an illustration portfolio really bad (so bad it burns)

glueberrypie

Hahaha, I kind of like Tony’s dad. Maybe because he can get his hands on elephant tranquilizer? Or maybe it’s something else?

love potion maybe?

I love the sweat and drool… and I love how Taryn shoots Zoey this subtle ‘back off my boyfriend’ look when Zoey expresses her concern. Sometimes I miss the days of Taryn killing koalas with a sledge hammer.

Holy wow. I’d say you got the rhino druid market cornered with that piece, man. That’s stunning.

http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus

Thanks Scooter, it took about 6 hours, I can’t wait to do more of these (of the non-Rhino kind, obviously)

Fish

Hahahaha Tony’s dad is awesome!!
Is it strange that I like him as a character?

PS that illustration is unreal! SELL!!
wish I had more time to do illustrations with my tablet…

http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus

You have a tablet? I didn’t know you dwell in the art of art

Fish

ye I’m in graphic design full time… just not enough time to do stuff for leisure on the side

http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus

well that is awesome, I do hope to see your stuff one day

it’s not much actually it’s quite a crappy collection of my stuff but it’s a start lol

Chameon

The art looks awesome. Furthermore, the “Find-out-which-meal-of-the-day-is-tranquilized” game isn’t a normal familial activity?

http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus

I heard it’s more of a thanksgiving thing, the one who stays awake(or alive) the longest wins

Lol, nice! This is an awesome panel… the character interaction (drugged food as a game? seriously? SWEET! ), the elephant tranquilizer (which is freakin awesome by itself! )… nice job! Like the art piece, too, very interesting.

http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus

Thanks for the kind words! I’m going to have a lot of people in my panels very soon, (may need to do full pages too)

http://www.thedualityprinciple.blogspot.com thedualityprinciple

Dude, full page Nerf This would be awesome!

http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus

I’m happy you think so Things are going ot get crazy with dialog, so it will be easier on me… and prettier too

Does this mean that Tony’s dad sees Chase as another son? ’cause this strip makes it seem that way.
