It's now time to start posting Stray Flights. Here is the first page of the first one, 'Desiccate.' 'Desiccate' is eight pages long and I did a little experimental process with this one to try to achieve something that looked like watercolor, but using a digital means. With Chandra I drew all the line work in pencil and then upped the contrast to make it look like ink. Here I just went straight in with ink to delineate the forms. It's still colored digitally though. After sectioning and coloring the large shapes I applied some watercolor textures over top to get something like a watercolor texture.
I envisioned this Stray Flight like some sort of little Twilight Zone episode. Let me know if it turned out successful or not. One fun thing about the Stray Flights is that it allows me to draw a range of subjects/objects I might not normally tackle, and to experiment with different styles.
This particular Stray Flight was inspired by some random words over at Andrew Bosley's Brainstormer. It's a great fun toy when you're feeling a bit stuck for an idea. The basic idea is that it's a lot of words that spin and output in differently combined ways. Check it out!
