True Blood- Sketch Phase






So I now have a website....which I haven't told anyone about yet. But I will soon! This is besides the point. While building the site I had plenty of time to repeatedly look at my portfolio and noticed some blaring holes. The list being as long as my arm. At the top of the list is MEN. I have two in my whole portfolio. Yeah. Not good.
Another hole I want fill is my pop culture illustration void. I like pop culture. I have a few pieces from the past but my caricature of Helena Bonham Carter holding puppets of Kenneth Brannagh and Tim Burton is more then a little dated at this point.
Oh and just for the hell of it I decided to throw in my past nemesis- the montage.
Here are my beginning sketches for my MONTAGE, involving LOTS OF MEN, and my newest POP CULTURE obsession, True Blood.
Oh and please allow me to geek out for a moment. I really wanted to do a Charlaine Harris book version of this but I thought sticking with the TV show would be more relevant. Thus Eric and Pam get put in the background. Which stinks because my portrait of Alexander Skarsgard came out pretty damn good.

By the way, Stephen Moyer... Really hard to draw! There's this whithered quality to his face that is driving me nuts trying to capture.
