Club High Castle Pre-Pandemic

This month flew by, and we are now officially in Fall! Fall is my favorite season. I love the falling leaves, the earth tones, the cider, the smells...I love just about everything about it! Here is what I did in September! I am Grey - Delenn from Season 1 of Babylon 5. Talia's Sorrow - Talia Winters from Season 1 of Babylon 5. She is glancing out a window, thinking about Jason Ironheart. I, Sinclair - Coming soon! He's sketched out, ready to be painted. Ivanova can't wait; she is surrounded by the Psi Corps :P

I have finally finished all of the illustrations! It feels great to be done with it. I've been working on these illustrations since January. The drawings are for a children's story that I wrote for my niece. Once I get them scanned (or otherwise converted into high-resolution digital images), I'm going to start the process of formatting everything so that I can compile it into a book. I will keep everyone updated on my progress! And...because I couldn't help myself, here's a shot of the sketchbook! 21 is the game is the title of my original post about this. Like I said, this feels awesome! I can't believe I was able to complete something like this! Here's to hoping the formatting process goes smoothly; I've never done this before. And...an updated counter! I'm going to keep the counter at the bottom of the blog for a few weeks, but I will save this post in my news section on the front.

As briefly mentioned in my previous post earlier today, I got a little busy this month, so my monthly End of Month update has run rather late! I only have one image for August, but it was a complicated piece and something I've never tried before. I wanted to try my hand at making a fake comic book page. I've made several fake comic book covers in the past, so I wanted to see if I could do a full page to gauge my interest in creating comic book art. Click on the image to see a larger version! It's yet some more Babylon 5 fan art. It depicts scenes that quite possibly happened behind the scenes in the show.  I had a lot of fun with it, but comics involve a lot of detail and characters, so this may not be something I do often (unless, of course, I win the lottery and can retire to self publish my own comic books!). In other news I've finished 20 of the 21 illustrations! My counter should reflect that, but no matter how many times I refresh, it keeps showing ...

I was able to get a frame for the autograph last weekend. I rearranged my beloved action figure shelf so that I could set it up. It is in the perfect spot. My desk is just to the right of the bookshelf...hopefully I won't be needing to read a book from the first shelf anytime soon! The story behind the autograph is detailed in this post A close up of the autograph itself The writing on the envelope (right next to the autograph) says "Photo" :) I will be posting my End of Month: August update shortly! My life was busy this month, so you have my apologies for such a late post!
