Aberrate Designs

Nick has been working like crazy doing sketches, inking and coloring.  He even got the first set of images done. I think he’s actually drawing faster than I can write.  I’m already trying to figure out a better way to file all of the drawings.  I had to remind him not to throw out the “bad” sketches about five times already.  He insists on getting rid of them though.  To me, getting to see the original sketches to the final drawing is the most interesting thing about creating art.  I may have to start digging them out of his office trash can (ew) if he can’t remember.  Two works are in total completion so far and another two are well on their way.  1001 Fun Things to do during Nuclear Fallout will be the first in a series, and we were joking about actually doing 1001 things (or maybe not joking).  Here are the inked and colored versions.

Immediately after finishing the first 1001 fun things, the Portraits of a Broken Heart series was begun with our Sad Brokenhearted Robot. And, while a follow up image won’t be added to this one. If this were a web comic, I like to think of what the next panel might be. Perhaps a little revenge for that lame excuse of a breakup line.

These images are available on products now. Yay! If you want to get one of them on a t-shirt or something, go to our Zazzle store. It’s interesting that it’s the guy that actually did go through the most changes. While I wasn’t able to save all of the sketches, he went from goofy to slightly sinister to a little sad. The evolution of a drawing right before your eyes. Look forward to the next post when we unveil… “Unlikely Superheroes & The Usual Villains”.
