ReelMoments/ReelDirector on iPhone

This was shot with my new iPhone 3GS, using an app called "ReelMoments which is a time lapse still frame video recorder and edited with the "ReelDirector" app. The time lapse video was shot at 1 frame every 2 seconds, total film time was probably 3 1/2 hrs with about 2 hrs after editing. I wasn't successful at including audio..."ReelDirector" is still a bit buggy in the audio department. There's no option for any real post production besides the straight forward editing. I still have a slow motion app "Slowmo" and a stop motion app "iMotion" to play around with. We'll see what I can come up with.

I've been wanting to draw something with a lot of lines lately...not sure why. I find detail work helps me zone out, and hatching especially helps me loosen up my hand when I've been away from drawing for awhile. Was about to take out the India ink to work the hair. Then I wondered what hair would look like if it was straight hatched instead of contoured. The answer apparently is bandages.

Haven't tried my hand on comic book characters in awhile. I guess this sketch of Daredevil was inspired by the 23 1/2 hrs of playtime (not consecutive), it took for me to finish the full storyline in the new "Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2" videogame produced by Vicarious Visions.

In case you were wondering, I give that game a 7.5 out of 10.
