So. Inktober has come and gone again, leaving us to cope with its loss and the advent of "Movember." Here are about half of my ink drawings from the one-a-day ink drawing fun. I didn't like the others enough to post them here.</div>

Hey all! This is one of my four submissions to a small zine (hipster talk for magazine) that I have pieced together with some friends. It features a whole bunch of drawings based on the American pastime: GAMES! Some are video game based and others come from the board side of the conflict. If you are interested in getting a copy of this marvelous little booklet of 19 great works by 9 great artists with art ranging from Pokemon to Betrayal at House on the Hill, drop me a line at jacobmeldrum@gmail.com. Copies are $6 each, plus a dollar for shipping within the USA.Jacobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06724732774345575625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171481301163811539.post-51612431677559330402013-07-23T19:34:00.000-06:002013-07-23T19:34:53.937-06:00Scribble Portraits!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Yes, this is a blog. Yes, I update it sometimes. Should I update it more? Probably. So, for your internet browsing entertainment, here are three portraits done in pencil and NuPastel. Any resemblance to persons living or dead is very fortunate and totally on purpose. One of these images bears a striking resemblance to myself. I hope you can tell which. If you are unsure, please don't leave a message in the comments. There is no need to do that to the two lovely ladies who agreed to pose for me.Jacobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06724732774345575625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171481301163811539.post-28652785635634230592013-04-02T16:16:00.000-06:002013-04-02T16:16:20.660-06:00Welcome to Wonderland!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Alice in Wonderland. It can be hard to represent something everyone already knows in an original way and still have it be recognizable. This is my take. I thought it might be fun to set Alice in a modern setting and have Wonderland be a sort of underground nightclub, full of things that Alice can't quite make sense of. A coming of age story for a girl on the verge of becoming a woman. It was a fun project.<br />

So. Just for fun, I decided that I was going to learn how to model things in 3-D and learn how to use Autodesk Maya. They offer an introduction to 3-D graphics class here at BYU and I thought, how hard could it be?<br />
As it turns out: Hard.<br />
I have a whole new respect for the incredibly talented and patient people who model characters and props and everything for the movies and games that I love. This little guy is fairly simple and it still took me three weeks to figure out how to finish him. I didn't even realize that you have to TURN ON THE SHADOWS until about half an hour before the deadline. Maya is stupid hard to learn and I fall to my knees in awe of all those incredible artists who make this stuff all the time and do it well. I think I'll just stick to drawing stuff and asking you to make it 3-D for me.Jacobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06724732774345575625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171481301163811539.post-31525791943489874172013-02-04T22:33:00.000-07:002013-02-08T11:47:11.881-07:00Flash Flood, Digital Media<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hey internet friends!<br />
I am totally still alive and I have a plethora of wonderful things to post here. Christmas was great and super busy, and followed immediately by my younger brother's wedding, so I haven't posted any of the things I've made lately. So enjoy my three redesigns of Calvin and Hobbes for <a href="http://joeolson.blogspot.com/">Joe Olson</a>'s class. Realistic, for girls ages 4-8 and for boys ages 9-14.Jacobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06724732774345575625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171481301163811539.post-45515954427707258852012-11-03T14:23:00.000-06:002012-11-03T14:23:11.427-06:00Halloween and Skittles Kid.I love Halloween. It's such a wonderful excuse to wear socially awkward costumes and seem perfectly normal. I think it was made as an outlet for weirdos who feel a need to fit in to normal society.<br />
It also means funny trick or treaters.<br />
Early in the evening, a veritable horde descended on my doorstep in search of pre-packaged, overhyped and ever so desirable sugar. After I had warded off a sizable group with my offering of the Mars company's finest assortment I was just settling back down to my semi-annual viewing of The Nightmare Before Christmas when a tiny little knock came rapping at the door.<br />
I returned to the porch to find a 4 or 5 year old boy dressed as Buzz Lightyear and another boy (who turned out to be the little guys older brother).<br />
The older boy told me that his brother had been too shy to come up to the door with all the other kids, and had waited until they had left. I offered little Lightyear the ginormous bowl of candy and he reverently chose a package of Skittles from the top of the candy-copia. His brother gave him a little nudge and prompted "What do you say?"<br />
Buzz replied:<br />

Alright friends. Here they are, finished and ready for adventure. Meet Moby and his Imaginary Friend, Sir Reginald Squeaks (Of the New Hampshire Squeaks).

Yes, I know I missed Day 8, but I was doing oil paintings all day and my beloved ink fell by the wayside. So here is Day 9's offering.<br />
CONTEST: These two, a boy and his imaginary friend, need names and I am too lazy to invent them. Leave your name suggestions in a comment. If I choose one or both of your names, one of my inktober drawings is yours for the asking. If you give me a great name before October ends, you can even tell me what you want me to draw. (Within limits. I'm pretty strictly G - PG).Jacobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06724732774345575625noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171481301163811539.post-40995595200592139472012-10-08T14:35:00.000-06:002012-10-08T14:35:43.788-06:00Inktober Days 6 and 7<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sorry for the Delay Inktober sports-fans. It was the semi-annual general conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I was out of town and away from a scanner, so I just have to play catch up I guess. So for your internet viewing pleasure, two general authorities of the church.<br /><br />Jacobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06724732774345575625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171481301163811539.post-77896659309399131912012-10-05T23:33:00.004-06:002012-10-05T23:33:49.126-06:00Inktober Day 5: Fenris<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today's offering on the altar of Inktober is a three panel noir duck-tective. This is an assignment for Bethanne Anderson's (Who has no Website, or I would link it here) Narrative class.

Another Character from Archs. The Thief. The latest holder of the title is aware of his status as Arch-thief and goes by no other name. No door is closed to him and nothing safe from the reach of his sticky fingers. I'm not especially happy with this pass... I'll come back to him later.Jacobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06724732774345575625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171481301163811539.post-50864179813786472082012-10-02T20:46:00.000-06:002012-10-02T20:47:01.134-06:00Inktober Day 2<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

INKtober day 2! Same story as the last guy. This is THE Murderer. He is one of the Archs. The Archetypal humans that walk among ordinary humans. No one is totally certain whether this title has been passed among a succession of madmen, or if he is the original Murderer.<br />

Here it is folks! Just in time to go up with your Independence Day fireworks! I whipped this up today in honor of my favorite country who is celebrating her 236th birthday today. She is still pretty young, as countries go, and her fan-base doesn't always represent her well, but I sure do like her.<br />
Thank you America, for the ideal that you represent. Thank you for the freedom of speech, even when we would be better off keeping out big mouths shut. Thank you for the great experiment of Democracy, a government for the people and by the people, however silly or forgetful or stubborn and wrong we the people may be. And a big thank you to all of the great men and women who see to it that the Great Experiment keeps on chugging away.<br />
Love you America. Acne, social awkwardness and all.<br />

Who is the best Jedi ever? That's right! Qui Gon Jin! I thought about saying something like Gandalf or Harry Potter, but neither of them is Liam Neeson.<br />
This is an experiment-y type portrait of Yoda that I did for my Illustration 3 class with Chris Thornock. Yoda has always been one of my favorite people. He has so much perspective and natural joy, despite the awful things that come his way. I love that happy little green dude.

Hey friends! It's been a while since I last posted, but I have a great excuse! For some of that time...<br />
I spent about three weeks (April 22 through May 15) in the U.K.! It was incredible! I went with the Brigham Young University Singers and we sang our way across most of Southern England and a little bit of Wales. If you're interested in reading up on what we did, you can check out the tour blog <a href="http://singers.byu.edu/">HERE</a>.<br />
I will start posting things up more regularly now that I am back and getting back in the swing of things. Meanwhile, here are two paintings from the end of last semester to tide you over. Both are acrylic on masonite board.Jacobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06724732774345575625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171481301163811539.post-65707371607598506012012-02-22T21:34:00.000-07:002012-03-20T18:46:06.935-06:00A Classic Nursery Rhyme<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i>Baa Baa Black Sheep</i><br />
<i>Have you any wool?</i><br />
<i>Yes Sir! Yes Sir!</i><br />
<i>Please don't shoot me sir!</i><br />
<br />
That is how the nursery rhyme goes, right? I still can't figure out why no one else remembers Mr. Bigg and his lackeys, Catgut Jimmy and Red Al. You guys remember how Jimmy was known to carry an ACTUAL violin in his violin case? And the story about how Al, a reptile, came by his luxurious red locks? You remember right?<br />
If you don't remember, I guess it's okay. My childhood was just cooler than yours.Jacobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06724732774345575625noreply@blogger.com2
