Unpretended Art by Ran Brown
RANSOM Revisited
Back when I got my start with webcomics, I was in highschool and drew a picture of a kid with some zombies. It was a neat concept, and from that single image spawned a webcomic that I would struggle with for the next four or so years of my life and eventually abandon. I’ve come to [...]
Brain Child
I recently acquired a brown, 8.5×11 inch recycled paper sketchbook, and decided to break out my pencil crayons (coloured pencils to all of you Americans, I guess) for the first time since I discovered markers back in highschool. This image wasn’t planed, and I did not sketching prior to it–a combination of conditions that often [...]
Screentone-o-rama!
Back when I got my start in digital comics, I was very much into manga and OEL publications. Screentones were very visually attractive to me, as well as attractive because of how much time they saved. I haven’t done much with screen tones in the seven year interim, until this week. August 13th was Jenny [...]
Out of My Element
A couple of friends have been planning to launch their webcomic, Out of My Element, for a while. They generally use free hosting, but this time they decided to try and go for a custom wordpress website. I gave them the complete package, with consultation 100% of the way. These are just some of the [...]
Doctors Who?
A while ago, Evan from You Need To Eat! approached me about doing some art for a segment of the site in where he reviews every episode of Dr. Who ever. I’d never seen any Dr. Who (still haven’t gotten around to it, actually), and I’ve also never done a caricature that wasn’t a horrible doodle. He [...]
Movie Night
I spend a lot of time drawing people running around in space, so drawing people in mundane situations is actually kind of relaxing from time to time. Did this one a while ago. Inks in Sai, everything else in photoshop.
ATC Batch 01
A while ago I discovered ATCs, and then introduced them to many friends. The result is that I have in my possession a number of cards that I have either done completely myself, or have done some manner of collaboration with someone else. These are some of my favourites. From top to bottom: Jillian from Allison Myres‘ [...]
Desperado
I sometimes use markers to colour, and i really regret not being able to use them as much as I used to. They’re time consuming, and it’s easy to ruin a piece even after I’ve been using them for about ten years now. On top of that, my copics befell a rather horrible fate last [...]
Best of 2011 so far.
I wanted to get some art up in here that wasn’t floating heads, and since most of what I do is comics, I figured that I’d post up some of my favourite pages that I’ve worked on since the start of the year from my webcomic, The End. In no particular order (not even chronologically!): [...]
