10.29.10 - Introducing 맥주 (MaekJu)

맥주 means beer in Korean. How did 맥주 get his name... One day he was scavaging for some fruits and just so happened to come upon some fermented ones and got horribly drunk. 맥주 is from Korea (tho I don't think Korea has raccoons... I call Artistic license ^.^) and he's a friendly lil raccoon. When he see newcomer Trevor scared and lonely, he goes to become friends with him. However, Trevor does not speak Korean and they must find a way to understand each other.

I wasn't too happy with the way this one came out. I'm having some issues with bodies at the moment.

This one came out better, I just need to darken it up some.

I hope to turn Trevor's and 맥주 adventures in learning to understand each other, into a project to help me learn Korean. I think focusing on sentences instead of vocabulary might speed up my conversational skills.

10.28.10 - Introducing Trevor and Art Trading Cards

For a while now, a few of my friends have be making hand drawn art trading cards. Today I took the plunge and joined in. I dedicated my first card to Paul the Octopus. It's a "Commemorative Card: in his honor. I'm still getting the hang of hand drawing and shading (darn the ease of computer aided drawing/illustrating).


For my second card I went for a panda I've been working on. His name is Trevor. He's going to be a bit of a klutz. Trevor will meet a new friend friend shortly (who I will introduce soon... when I decide on a name...).

I've decided to number each card somewhere. The first card has a small #1 located on the left under Paul's tentacle. I hope to have them either blend in or really stand out.
