ROIDS SKETCH BY POSE
So heres another quick whirl at your name, this time a little more tech/ fast looking. I still tried to leave some large areas open for you to have fun with treatment wise aka drop the tender videls on em. There is plenty of stuff I would change if I was painting this one... stretching the "d" out and down more to flow better (or maybe change its shape to more of a pyramid) , making the whip outs really whippy and blown out, ect.

scotty76 character Nasty Stae
Yo Scotty...
Been a long break, but the wheels are starting to turn again...little character jammy you hooked me up with that I got to rock last nite into the a.m....
Was trying something a little different, and thought this character would put it all together.
I'm not really a character guy, usually rock line art characters when I do, so this was challenging. You have a real fresh style and twist on the traditional mug style, and I appreciated it even more so when I tried to recreate it. It was alot of fun to paint, and has me real inspired to try it some more!
I have been playing with this sort of "jumbly" letter style and as a result of the Exchange, was inspired with the Poet "T" on this one, which I didn't figure out 'til I checked it at home....
Stay tuned...

Stae2 sketches by Jurne
I've been working on these sketches for you, and came up with these three.
The first ones pretty straight forward, I think maybe the T could be spruced up a little more.
This one I drew second, with the intention of having the bars of the E come back and 'frame' the piece. I got kind of carried away with the colored pencils going for a beveled look, and then really went overboard with the pseudo 3d/blue stuff...not so sure how I feel about that in particular, you be the judge.
The third one is a little more traditional...I wanted to capture a layered feel, and not put a 3D on it, thinking that it might compete with the depth achieved by the letters themselves. I tried to encorporate star shapes into the bars of the letters, at the ends of the S and the E, but they're a bit muddled by all the other stuff going on. Also, the loop of the A came out a little small I think.
Hyped to see what you do with em....

Taboo Sketch painted by Jurne
I really dug this sketch from Taboo, and thought it might look good on a freight. I wanted to stretch it out and have the dimensions of the train car emphasize the length of the piece.
When we showed up to the yard, there were no flat boxcars, and I didn't really want to try to stretch this piece over the door, so I decided to rock it a little smaller than intended, and just keep it to one panel.
I went with a nice Home Depot color scheme (an American brand paint scheme seemed right for the train), some Painters Touch Fossil for the fill, an Espresso outline, and American Accents Cabana Blue for the cloud.
In sketching the piece out, I made some modifications, connecting the U with the head of the R, as well as changing the bend of the N, and having the top of the E come from the N doubling back on itself. In hindsight, I think the U-R modification takes away from the dope mohawk that the R was rocking in the original sketch, and the strong kink in the bar of the R.
I like how the piece came out (Although the night shots arent ideal...I'll replace them when I get better ones), but Im not hyped on the color choices I made; should have gone with a dark gray for accents in the bottom of the piece, and a really light gray or pink in the top. In general, I should have spruced it up a bit with more colors. Also, I think I lost one of the coolest parts of the piece by not outlining 'The Exchange' bar of the E that Taboo crafted.
Painting the piece gave me some new insights on some of my letters, the J was a totally new shape for me, as well as the E. Thanks again to Taboo for the dope sketch, I'm working on yours and Stae's right now...
THE EXCHANGE
The Exchange was started in 2005, with six participants from different areas of the United States. The group is currently made up of 35 members from 14 countries worldwide. The participants of The Exchange trade names and personal styles through sketches. This step is repeated until everyone in the group has traded outlines at least once.
The sketches are drawn, scanned, and traded via email. They are then printed out and executed by the receiving artist in their particular city.
The objective is to create an awareness of distinct lettering styles and trends. The goal is for all in the group to be able to become more versatile through attempts at graffiti styles out of their personal comfort zone. The artists in the group may learn new techniques and compositions from the exchange.
