Design graveyard..

So my friend Robin told me at comicon this weekend that I've been severely slacking on my blog duties. The ironic thing is that I'M usually the one ripping on my friends about being slackers. Ha!

So to keep things fresh, I'll introduce something stanky I call, "The Design Graveyard". Here's a collection of designs that have been rejected, cut (because of time constraints), or just plain tossed out. Some are finished, and some are rough. Hopefully they find a home with you guys!

LOVE the rock monster! Also, I really like your interpretation of the dog, cat, worm, dino designs. I was one of the other artists they got to do some concept designs for that job.

Man, that rock monster one kicks ass (and the rest). It's sad when stuff of this quality gets the axe. Thanks for sharing!

I wasn't trying to be too harsh.. but I did want to make my point. I dunno... Maybe I'm just a grumpy old man.

Uncle Phil said...

and.. these drawings are sweet steve! The rock god is one of my favorites, and I really love the dog in the last line up. I can just see his ears getting tangled with his skate board.... now that's harsh.

spleenal said...

OO now I want a series about all the adventures a group of rejected character designs might have.

Uncle Phil said...

..posted another comment on my blog, addressing some of the stuff you wrote about.

Soon we'll be changing each others diapers at the old crotchety man home.
