A Caricature of a Rhinoceros Man, done as a tribute to Joe Camel's cigarette commercials (especially the ones portarying Joe as James Bond). Painted entirely in Photoshop using my Bamboo Fun tablet, it took approximately 3 hours of work to complete.
This painting was done as part of "The Weekly Challenge" in Aviv Or's blog.
A caricature of some friends of mine. They all belong to a group called "Solution Management", which should explain my usage of the idiom "You're either part of the problem, or part of the solution..."
My webcomics series, called "My 25 Percent", has just got its small share of publicity. It was mentioned (in a few words) in an article by Ynet, one of Israel's most popular news portals (if not THE most popular). Those of you who can read Hebrew can view the article here.
The publicity made the trick, and the amount of traffic that I got in the day the article was published was amazing. According to my Google Analytics account, around half of the visitors that browsed my site took interest in more than just the front page (a good sign), and I also got some nice ratings (through my Outbrain widget) for some chapter by a few of the visitors (a really good sign!).
Eventually the effects of the article will wear off, and traffic rate in my webcomic site will return to its regular, mediocre size. But the feeling of achievement is still there. Being an amateur artist, the ability to make it to a leading news portal is a real confidence booster.
It's one small step for my comic, one giant leap for my confidence as an artist!
This is another work I drew for one of the weekly challenges in Aviv Or's blog. The theme this time was "Terrified Self Portrait". I thought about what would scare me the most, and came up with the conclusion that meeting Dan, a comics character based on me, would definitely do the trick.
Dan is the star of My 25 Percent, the comics series I've been drawing for some time now. I'm slowly but steadily acquiring fans, and the series has managed to become a hit among quite a few hi-tech employees (and average webcomic readers), mostly in Israel, The United States, India, and Germany (at least according to my FEEDJit stats…).
Here is another sketch I did with my new Wacom tablet. This time, a self portrait.
I just got my new graphic tablet. I'm a bit embarrassed to say, but it's also my first graphic tablet (and I've been using digital art tools for several years now). I decided to buy one a couple of months ago, when I realized that this tool is a must for any serious artist. After talking to some friends in various art forums and reading some review sites, I decided to go with the Wacom Bamboo Fun - it's professional enough to give professional looking artistic results, yet simple enough to make it affordable. The medium sized one cost me just below 200$ in Amazon (October 2008 prices).
Recently, I launched the second season of my webcomics series, called My 25 Percent. The comic series tells the tale of a young software engineer, who one day found himself working in a large software company, called CRAP.
A new recurring character in this season is Benjamin, a member in CRAP's senior management board. Benjamin takes charge of CRAP's recovery plan, in light of the latest economy crisis , and launches a series of harsh reforms. I decided to draw Benjamin in the image of former prime minister of
I decided to share with you a glimpse of Benjamin's appearance in the new season. For reading the comics, you can visit the My 25 Percent Website.
