Costume Carnival

They have a costume carnival every semester at the school where I teach. They had some really nice French costumes this year.

I'm sorry that I haven't had too much time to update my blog these days. If you want more frequent updates, I'm on TUMBLR and INSTAGRAM (@benjelter)

APRIL FOOLS- That green guy wasn't a quickstudy. That was a 10 minute pose.

There's a couple that aren't quickstudies.... can you spot them!?!

The Princess and the Robot

I'm involved in a new comic project that my friend Vera Greentea is putting together. She just started a kickstarter for it, so check it out! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/veragreentea/papa-an-indie-comic-book-collection

The other artists are really good. Here's some of their stuff:

Drawing for animators

Quickstudies with drape

I love it when there's some cloth in the quickstudies. I can't remember if I posted these already. If I did, I'm sorry. I don't know how I'll ever make it up to you.

Living cloth

These are drawings of cloth and paper stuff lying around my apartment. I drew eyes and whatnot on some of them so that they'd be less boring. I would have left the house to draw but I was sick. (That's why one is a tissue!)

The Swedish spaceman was not done using this method. A viewer might deduce as much from the fact that the drawing was done with a differently coloured drawing tool.

Back to Back attack!

This one was drawn from imagination.

Pilot V5: Angry Tendai robo triplets and face within face

Tendai is never actually as angry as she looks in this drawing! ^ Other drawings include a picture of robo triplets and a face within a face. (can you see it? the drawings are right above this text!)

Quickstudy Monday!

Out of practice drawing guys. Seems like most of the quickstudies models are female these days.

Eyes and mouth

This was a New Years drawing.

George's class

Dropped in on a class that my buddy George was teaching and they had an...interesting... cowgirl santa outfit going on.

Bart people

12 Witches

Quickstudy Monday!

This will be the last one for a while because the workshops have ended for the Fall semester.

Sidius Nova out now!

I've been working on a game for the last year with my good friend Stefan Schmitt that we just released on the app store today. It's called Sidius Nova and it's basically a pc style strategy game redesigned for a touch screen. Players move around and explore in a turn-based format and have real-time battles with fleets of other ships. It has a significant amount of depth for an iPhone game. If you're into turn-based or RTS PC games, definitely try it out.

It's available for free on the app store:
