<p>Okay, so its been quite a stretch since the last post, but now there's rather a load of ideographs worth posting. First up are some doodles I've been conjuring while pretending to do my other paying job.<br />
-The Naga with the big meathooks is the prelim for a painting. <br />
-The Gargoyle and Winged Entity are studies for a friend's ShadowRun NPC. <br />
-Mr. Bleurgh and Ms. Gleech work in Sales, but drop by occasionally to hob-nob with "the little people."</p>

<p>I don't really expect these pix to turn up anywhere else online. However to be on the safe side, all this work is copyrighted to me, so please be careful where and how you use these images. </p>

        <![CDATA[<p>In addition to his own concept work, the mighty Jang Chol Lee lent his considerable skills to the task of drawing all of the storyboards for the Delgo Project. </p>

<p>Throughout the boards, you will see Jang's succinct and fairly distinctive pencil work. It was over copies of his boards that I was required to provide color rendering to give the director and his team of lighting artists a visual guide as to how a partciular scene or sequence should look.</p>

<p>The color swatches were fairly easy to produce. Prismacolor markers, colored pencils and gouache can go a long way on these slightly-larger-than-thumbnail-sized panels.<br />
