cigar in hand

Not sure that I like this nearly enough to consider putting in a portfolio, but I like it enough to put up here so you can see what random things I've been fiddling with.

This is essentially a test print, the current results of fighting with a particular negative.

Overblown (hah) a bit, but I like it, though more in a "I'll keep this at my house and enjoy it and not put it in a portfolio" sort of way, not unless it's much improved.

color contact sheets

When I first got Maxwell (the Ricoh KR-5 Super II) earlier this summer, I loaded it with color film to see what would happen. The following are, essentially, the result of me derping around. I won't say which my favorites are.

These are the first color contact sheets I've ever seen; I'm very excited about that. I didn't do them, though. Obviously, since these are from a contact sheet and the photos were taken in different lighting, some that are darker can be made lighter and vice versa.

Please tell me which ones you think might make good prints-- specifically, good prints people might purchase.

Darker or lighter?

an Ocarina of Time true story: in color, sort of

The grey I used for the hair started to die after one panel, but I milked that marker for all it was worth.

I haven't done any coloring for a long time, and decided to try something slightly different.

Hands still elude me. FFUUUU
