I’ve been trying out different brushes in Painter, trying to see what different textures feel like.  This Tea Club drawing is an exercise in that, plus combining my recent interest in trying to figure out the world of kickboxing:

It could use a little more work in finishing the rendering, but I’m calling it “done” because it’s more like an exercise. I think the more I do these kinds of painting exercises, the more my rendering style will develop.

(For those of you not familiar with Tea Club, these are my main characters Hana Neko and Mr. Bear.)

Just a few more days left until WonderCon 2011…we are booth #834, near our friends Gama-Go!

Continuing the “classic” trend, I’m bringing back another old favorite from 2007, Rocketbear:

Rocketbear is actually Mr. Bear, co-star of the Tea Club webcomic. He’s blasting off into parts unknown, boldly going where no bear has gone before. I always loved the action on this illustration. This design will be available on both guy- and girl-style t-shirts.

If you can’t make it to WonderCon, these shirts will be available for sale in a few weeks on the Pandaline T-shirt Shop.
