2011 Wrap up.

2011 was a good year.
I'd like to think I learnt alot of things.
And Im very sorry I couldnt put it all up here.
Ive been updating my Deviantart Profile 
fairly regularly.
But the blog was denied.

Although, with the passing of this year,
I think I have fianlly learnt to manage my time in a semi-efficient manner. Mostly. Maybe. Kinda.
I dont know. Stop STARING AT ME!!!

Anyways, will see you in the new year, POSSIBLY with a NEW BLOG.Whoooo knowws waat the New Year holds...

Loads of stuff to upload. tons of things to try.
Happy Holidays. And have a Wonderful Year.
Also, if ther eis a zombie apocalypse, I will NOT go easy on you if youve been infected, EVEN if you are my friend.

Bye!

Tarun.

You add a "'Sup" to it and then you have the perfect storm...
Happy Birthday Acha.

Ink Blotch Trials

Hero ink pen and a brush wash over it.
I think I just love doing a brush wash.

I would brush-wash the world if I could.

Hero Pen, a brush and some good ol' water.

Portal 2, and Vikram Vetal hero pen with brush exlorations.

Done with a classic Hero fountain pen. No: #330 to be exact.
I just love the heck out of drawing with this pen.
Colour doen digitally. Not my strong point though...

Anwyays. felt like drawing a Thor before work in the morn.
Made his hammer handle longer too... just to see how it wud look.Mixed afew of the garments THor has had over the years. May have overdid it with the chainmail.And when i say THOR, i mean Marvel's superhero God character THOR. Not our legend Thor.

A friend of mine got furious seeing the Thor movie (which I loved, n cant wait for Avengers) and asked me where the Norse God of Thor was in the film. It wasnt about THAT THor (who is public domain, by the way). it was abt Marvels.

Same way Alan Moores League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is abtt public domain characters like Capt.Nemo n Mr.Hyde.etc. Maybe these character never have and or never will do these things. Yet, these archetypes are so powerful in a story, that using them is a celebration and another take on the character. It does not tarnish the original since, they arent technically the same person.

PS: the tiny winged hat was for my amusement. :)

Watercolour n Hero comic

 

It is no secret that i recently have loved using a combination ink n brush or watercolor with a Hero fountain pen. This was done with watercolour and Hero.

The strip without captions intended, is about an older man telling a kid how they used to get milk in the old days. Below is a enlarged panel of him. With the ink pen, I love to draw beards. its so much fun and far more interesting than a blank face.

You know what? Im gonna grow my beard back.

(2-3 weeks later: I hate my beard.)

More Ink n Watercolour with a HERO pen

These were 2 pieces with ink,brush and watercolour, after which i went opver them with my ever-eager Hero ink pen.  seriously love the feeling of drawing the a Hero. Even though its a writing tool.

Both these pieces were done without preplanning so I while I was paining in the washes, I was making ti up as I went along. Such is the ssituation after coming back from a day of work Procrastinating and then finding a spare moment before crashing to do "art". ppft. I sicken me.

"I am Gotham".

"The Simplest Gamble"

Ink. brush, WaterColour and HERO.

Ink, Brush, ,Watercolour. And most importantly: My Hero fountain pen.
I used to write with the Hero ink pens in school, but i used to find that i loved drawing tin the margins with these. I recently bought one, and a blast of youthful memories of not paying attention in class came back.

Brush, Ink n Hero.

 Trials with Ink, brush and a Hero fountain pen.

Got nostalgic recently and bought a Hero fountain pen. Remembered how in class i always used to draw in the margin with my hero pen. Now i can do that again! and no margins either! FULL PAGE.

Final day of Ganesh Chaturthi.

Kyle Rayner - Green Lantern

 

My fav Green Lantern (and first) of all time.
Ive drawn kyle afew times prior.
This one is alittle more bulky, and more suitable for the age of a college going youngman. 

I hope the new 52 treats him well.

Meters Don't Matter.
