Character samples


BoxHead Studio reddit sketches

I have been participating in an IAmA on reddit.com hosted by BoxHead Studio as a guest artist. There, we take requests from whoever wants to chime in and draw what they want. We normally spend about 15-20 minutes on each sketch, sometimes longer. It's great fun and it would be awesome if anyone here would like to join us next week as we usually get more requests than we can possibly fill.

Conditions:
- The event is on Fridays from noon to 4pm EST (12:00-4:00pm)
- You have to submit digitally, as we usually move fairly quickly through each request.
- If you have a way to screencapture or record your process for each sketch and submit the video, it would be super awesome.

Let me know if you'd like to join us by emailing me: zapata.james@gmail.com

Here's a list of the videos I've submitted, because I'm selfish (The rest of the videos on the page are by various other artists, including David Kim of BoxHead Studio):

A Goblin's Lament

I can't decide whether this is finished or not. We'll see after I get the 16 gigs of RAM I ordered :)

Instigatorzine @Kickstarter

Hello everyone. I haven’t really been active on the web anywhere. Don’t worry. I’ve actually been busy setting up a lot of things.


For example, Instigatorzine has been catching steam and rolling along at a very swift pace. We’re working towards legitimizing the periodical on a professional level. That means getting a LLC, a P.O. Box, appearing at the 2011 New York Comic Con, etc. A lot of major moves.


That said, Instigatorzine needs everyone’s help raising money for expenses towards this professional stage. The link featured will take you to our Kickstarter profile which will enable you to contribute to our cause. We’re nothing without you, and you are our strongest attribute. Without your art and your literature, the ‘zine wouldn’t be where it is right now.


Please help us make our goal by Monday, August 22, 2011! You’ll get neat prizes for your greatly appreciated contribution. :)
