chimera skip to main skip to sidebar chimera the resolution of 3 different things into a new one monday january 14 2013 clone wars comics i was lucky enough to work with henry gilroy during the first couple of seasons on the clone wars he went on to do some of the comics at dark horse as well even though our schedule is pretty aggressive i wanted to work with him on the series again and was fortunate to do 2 covers i thought i would also show you the thumbnails the editor got to choose from for both of these covers posted by bko at 6 39 pm 10 comments wednesday january 09 2013 ohatmu jonathan morris came up with an excellent idea redesign the marvel universe with the help of any ol palooka that wants to throw down i m in i went for any kirby character i could get my hands on and luckily i got this guy da klaw i would be lucky to work on any kirby character i love them all go check out his site lots of fun interpretations and amazing work i was going to do a straight up rendition of the original yes including the serrated purple underwear but i couldn t make it work hopefully this won t offend anyone i have a few more to do for ohatmu that i will post in the coming days months posted by bko at 2 31 pm 2 comments sunday january 02 2011 manga sushi the story starts this is an ongoing project that i started with my first son this is more his project than mine i merely write what he tells me and he approves most of my work it is one of the most challenging and rewarding projects i have done yet for me i just try to listen and to not be so precious with the work that it doesn t get done it is hard but i try really hard not to steer the story i do find that if i get confused i tend to ask pointed questions for which he always has several answers our project came out of a story i found i was slightly horrified to hear about the children of one of my creative heroes n c wyeth he is definitely an amazing and inspiring painter but he was an absentee father his children would wait at the door to his studio to catch a glimpse of him when he opened the door to pick up the tray of food his wife would leave for him or when he would place the empty plates back at the door i have been guilty of getting wrapped up in my job and neglecting myself and those close to me but after i heard this story and hearing several stories similar to this i became more mindful it s helped but it is still difficult for me one way of combating this is to include my family when i can and share my love of this field if you are a creative parent i hope that you spend time nurturing it in your children whether they follow your footsteps or not if you have other ideas or have done similar projects i would love to hear about them in the comments posted by bko at 10 34 pm 16 comments tuesday may 11 2010 frank frazetta we lost a great artist this past week i cannot tell you how much this loss affects me what frazetta s work means to me how he inspires me every time i see his work how i strive to excel to his level in every piece i do how much i still learn from his work sadly i know those of you that feel a little like i do are probably categorized in the old guy column with the internet and the rise of concept art this new amazing generation of artists have no context for him and without context he just becomes one of those guys i already overheard some of the younger guys i work with refer to him as such to me growing up he was a lighthouse and utterly unique and revolutionary i learned early on that if you find someone that you think is amazing find out who there teachers were who inspired them and maybe you could get closer to that source our legacy as artists will be by who we inspire not what show we were on or how much we got paid for something i think we tend to forget that in our jobs some amazing artists that he inspired dave stevens mike mignola william stout frank cho justin sweet mark schultz mike kaluta mitch byrd james watkiss ashley wood wally wood al williamson this list could probably go on a lot longer than i know or have room for but if you like any of the guys above take a second or a lifetime and check out frank frazetta s work while your at it take a second to thank the artists that inspire you that are still here i know for a fact it would mean alot to them my heart is heavy and i felt the need to post something sadly i couldn t even settle on any of the hundreds of images he created to put up as a post thank you frank for everything posted by bko at 11 33 pm 2 comments thursday may 06 2010 remember banner an incredible intellect living with regret and guilt of what his uncontrollable id did the hulk was a a creature of pathos and rage then we had to put him in a bunch of super groups and play nice and still be the hulk minor character flaw now they introduced us to redhulk a creature of rage and erm evil who cares i worked on two versions for the silverscreen one actually made it and was panned haven t thought of the grey green guy since then until this guy started his march madness run check it out if you have the time made me remember all the fun i had reading him as a kid hulk smash posted by bko at 11 15 pm 5 comments friday march 26 2010 how to train your dragon was fun good job dreamworks your td s did an amazing job on hair fur rock wood and scales clouds and fire also superb lighting was beautiful character design by the amazingly talented nico martlet seriously this guy is crazy good the animation was simply superb both subtle and big score was unobtrusive and rousing in the right place but what about the story fun just fun but don t take my word for it go see it i mean if you like this sort of thing you know dragons and vikings more like this please what s next guys posted by bko at 12 11 am 7 comments saturday february 27 2010 telling stories most of you that visit this often not updated blog are interested in story if you are one of those people i would highly recommend this book written by my friend brian mcdonald invisible ink i was very lucky to run into him when i was very young in my career and it made a big difference in steering me he started writing a blog that is chock full of practical advice for writers and artists who tell stories there are alot of books out there about this medium but most of them are for analyzing stories after the fact or create confusion using highfalutin words which only make people feel stupid some even have graphs and charts that start to look like football plays but if you are actually creating stories i would say his book would benefit you more than most brian clears away the useless and makes visible what was previously hidden then tells you how to hide it again but don t take my word for it listen to these yahoos writing stories is hard they are stubborn by nature no matter how many times you master one the next story is obligated to conceal its faults with an entirely new disguise your only recourse is to keep writing while concurrently increasing your understanding of this deceivingly simple yet highly complex organism we call story brian mcdonald s insightful book does just that somehow brian has found yet another fresh and objective way to analyze how great stories function and emboldens you to face the challenge of scaling whatever story mountain looms before you if i manage to reach the summit of my next story it will be in no small part due to having read invisible ink andrew stanton cowriter toy story toy story 2 a bug s life monsters inc and cowriter director finding nemo and wall e invisible ink is a powerful tool for anyone who wants to become a better screenwriter with elegance and precision brian mcdonald uses his deep understanding of story and character to pass on essential truths about dramatic writing ignore him at your peril jim taylor academy award winning screenwriter of sideways and election brian mcdonald knows that underneath a good story are the difficult mechanics of plot he offers insights into both the construction needed and the art of hiding that construction jim uhls screenwriter of fight club also here posted by bko
