Periodic Heroes

So theres this blog that I am a part of called Periodic Heroes that consists of a bunch of people I know in my department here in Savannah. Basically, we get to take turns picking a hero (or show, or whatever) each week and then everyone does there own take on it. Its a lot of fun and we get some pretty cool stuff. You should check it out.

Here is a piece I did this week for "The Venture Bros." It's Molotov.

blogger only lets me upload 5 images per post

heres the 6th page from the sript mentioned in the post below

It's been awhile....

Man, I haven't been around here in soooo long its ridiculous.

So much has happened I don't even know where to begin.

I guess its about time for me to start posting again cuz things have changed drastically and I feel like its just been too long.

The just of it- I'm moved down to Savannah GA to go to school at SCAD in the graduate program for Sequential art, which is just a fancy way of saying comic books. I love it here, everybody's as crazy and messed up as I am so I've never felt more at home lol.

I'm learning a lot too.

I also finally finished those test pencils for Marvel's Runaway series. Before working on that project, I was unfamiliar with Runaways, but the story and characters is just awesome. Its a shame its not running anymore, hopefully Marvel will remove the hiatus its on and hopefully I'll be the penciler.

Doing the pages has me really excited to work on runaways more.

Here they are. They are from an old script (the one where they get Victor on the team for those who know) and this is the scene of their first confrontation.

Page 1 and 2

Im on my way.
Having a lot of fun with these and there very beneficial, i just wish i could prduce them a little faster.

More to come

There will be robot blood!

So it would seem that know that I have some time on my hands, and the world is my oyster. I've finally decided to stop messing around and actually do Manga the way I should have been doing for years now.

This summer, I am planning, (hopefully if work doesn't get in the way) to right a Mini-Manga story featuring the (somewhat) popular characters of mine, Little Red and The Big Bad. I'm planning some pretty action packed stuff as it revolves around an invasion. So get ready for some killer shonen style bad-ass-ness with lots of explosions, lasers, crab bots and of course, speed lines like you wouldn't believe!

In a completely serendipitous occurrence, it would appear that the very talented artist, The Orange One, [link] Is also attempting something similar. She's got some really cool stuff and I suggest you swing over to her page to check it out and lend your support.

As I haven't put a TON of thought into this, I am making it up as I go along (i know, red flag) but the basic synopsis involves a girl with a wrench sword and a mysterious connection to a very advanced piece of Mecha called The Big Bad. She and the Mecha are often contracted by the cities officials to get them out of the more hairy situations when the Steelios invade its borders. The Steelios are an invading army with an unknown leader. What are they after? Well you'll just have to read and find out.

So with out further ado. Lets do this thing!

Oh yeah, I am planing on utilizing screen tones so it may be a little slow. Sorry, i know your all excited.

Here is a promo piece i did for it to warm myself up

Funny story behind this piece, it started as just a loose throw away sketch to warm up so it was done an a sorry ass piece of computer paper, the sketch however came out so nice, i just had to finish it though, lol, to bad it will never survive, its haggard already

Graduation

Well, Finally got my degree. Most expensive and time consuming piece of paper I've ever seen. Funny, I don't FEEL any better. Hmmmm, maybe it'll kick in later.

Anyway, I am enjoying my short break thoroughly before I move away from columbus and for the time being, I am doing some artwork just for me. Thats the most important thing, right? Well its good practice anyway.

This is something thats been itching the back of my artistic throat for awhile now. I been meaning to do a series of DarkStalkers paintings, and this is the first wip, so far so good. This is Lilith and Victor for those that are unfamiliar with DarkStalkers, and both belong to Capcom. I think this will come out interesting.

Shameless self-promotion

hey guys, just wanted to post this for shits and giggle, just a friendly reminder to go check out my actual webpage at www.philmilley.com

Well, here we are... down to the last week of classes before I graduate.......

EVERYTHING'S DUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IM FREAKIN OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!

thought I would throw up a few art goodies for all my fans (me being delusional again) stuff I have to finish up before I get that little piece of paper i worked so very hard for =D

hope this helps!

Re-Inventing Myself

Id really like a crit from you guys on some stuff ive been working on, a whole new look. I've developed a new method of doing things and I want to know what you all think from an artistic/illustrative point of view, not so much subject matter.

most of these are a bit unrefined as they are still sketches, but the overall feel of what a final would look like in this method shows up

my question is would you all like to see me pursue finalized illustration in this manner

im pretty excited about them and i think theres a ton of potential here

plus then I could just work strait digitally

please let me know

Bayonnetta

Got introduced to a dynamite lady today, had to crank this out.

plus i wanted to try out my new brush set

By the way, this makes a killer desktop image -wink-

Concept board madness

Well I ground Out a lot of concept work for The Gift yesterday, and got it on nice looking boards, these are shaping up quite nicely, especially Gino and the Hydra sisters. I am having a lot of fun with them.

Eva Sketch

so i've been ignoring homework all day, so instead i decided to do something for me, very loose and informal but close to my heart, hope yall like it

im trying to bridge that gap to becoming a solely digital artist, i can see it working, it just take more time and perhaps a better tablet, and lots and lots of layers =D

Web Banner

Finished

A Strong day for drawing

got some nice drawings done today for The Gift concepts, its about time too, i especially like how Pastella is shaping up, and I think the "Hot-Head" version of Detton is finally awesome. Its only up from here.

The Bank Heist

Well then, I was thinking that I haven't been posting much lately, (even tho I've been up to a lot of new things) so I thought I'd throw up some old stuff with some new stuff. Heres the page pencils for my input on the Bank heist story as well as the sketch and finished line art for the cover im going to paint. I think my stylization is getting better everyday, now I need to work on my speed some more. I really need to learn how to be efficient if im ever gona get a comic contract =p

webbanner sketch

well the web site is now under full developement

here is the top banner sketch that im planning on using

The Lioness...again

ok, heres some nice progress on this finally, I still wana go back in a sure up the drawing before I use this for my promo card

ill post that was example too, im really weak with type layout and I need to get better at it

Character Designs

some tightened up sketches from earlier

Black Hydra Sisters

Couple characters Im working on for my comix, there story is really interesting but its longer than i want to type here, if your really interested i can post a comment later

i want to use these two as villans for my story

The Haiti Project?

Well it would appear that my professor has some strange ideas and decided to give us an editorial illustration based on the relief effort in Haiti using the character we made for his last project, mine being a cute mermaid cowgirl, i basically thought I was screwed, but I rallied and came up with this, I think it came out nicely and I'm interested in pursuing this stylization for other editorial and more serious type projects, its good to have two sides.

Im gona repost the character as well so you can get an idea of just how difficult of a jump this was to make

=p
