Spectrum Live! - Dominick Saponaro, The Sequel

1027

Dom has a great way of handling adventure within his work.  The color is always powerful and the composition dynamic.  Above is a promo piece he created.  If you click here you will see a much better online version of the piece.  Also, take notice to the numbers on the front of the train....that's my birthday!

Maid of Orleans 

This is a close up of his Maid of Orleans piece featuring the beautiful Cheryl Carson Truyols.  This will be framed and on display as well.

 Destroyermen II

This one is the second painting for the Science Fiction Book Club in the Destroyermen series.

This would be his signature 

He is very meticulous...even down to how he presents his name.

Many of his prints are available through his etsy store or directly on his website store.  You'll see above next to the first Destroyermen cover is a portrait of Abe Lincoln.  This one is very popular on his store.  Click here to get a better view!

IMC 2010 Final

Joan of Arc

Click here to purchase prints

This is the final for Joan of Arc created for IMC. Rebecca Guay runs the IMC and is submitting entries to Imagine FX for possible publication. Ten pieces will be chosen by the Imagine FX staff as to what will appear in the next issue. In a group of over 80 students and awesome work it's gonna be a tough call for judging!

IMC Progress

This is my progress at IMC. It's the end of the 4th day (2am) and I'm beat. Many things to do and lectures to hear. I changed quite a bit to benefit the piece thanks to the crits of Greg, Julie, Boris, Scott, Irene and Dan. I did not intentionally eliminate some of the elements from my sketch....I just didn't get to them yet. Ready to sleep!

IMC Joan Value Comp

Here is my value comp for Joan of Arc. Tomorrow I will be packing, cleaning, prepping for the dog sitter and running errands so this is pretty much it until my crit. I need to fill in the pattern on her skirt and the crosses on the sword but I figured I'd wait until my application of color.

On Saturday I get input from the big guys at IMC. I'll let you know who I have as my 2 critique instructors and what they recommend. Until then......

IMC 2010 - Line Drawing

This is my line drawing for IMC. I am going to be starting the value comp shortly. I'll post the progress and suggested changes in the upcoming week.

IMC 2010 - Gearing Up

IMC is coming up next Friday! I'm very excited and a bit stressed. I have a lot to do before then including my sketch! This is my fantastical rendition of Joan of Arc. It's just a thumbnail so I will be shooting reference and drawing it out next week.

I'll update on the progress and the shenanigans at IMC! I'm looking forward to being encompassed in a studio of over 75 illustrators working until 3am and starting the day over again at 8am. It's an intense time but well worth the lack of zzzzz's. Dom and I will also be reconnecting with some folks from last year's IMC and members of Drawn Today's blog and podcast.

Drawing update next week. Stay tuned.
