Cintiq fun

2012-02-06T19:37:00.001-08:00

Still better on paper, but I'm lessening the diff quickly.

Sure I could have screen caped this but I wanted to try out my blogger app

Christmas Card 2011

2011-12-09T00:08:00.000-08:00

Hello all, I have been on a posting break for far to long, been busy. Sad to say things have slowed down in a time I need to be more busy (more work). On the other hand I got to do my Christmas card, a project I shelved thinking I would not have time to do it. Thanks for tuning in, and catch you on the flip side.

Soldier in the making

2011-08-27T16:39:00.001-07:00

Well, yesterday I posted my bald, brow less and facially unfinished soldier. Here you can see him from the where he is mostly finished, legs and feet still need some work or tweaking but I think its going fairly well. Thanks for tuning in and catch you on the flip side.

Back to the cintiq

2011-08-26T14:09:00.000-07:00

As some of you may know i have been working on developing my skills as a digital artist. Still trying to work my head into blending digital as apposed to blending with traditional mediums. This is a work in progress, im going for a cliche military brute. He is missing his flat top hair cut and brows. Thanks for tuning in and catch you on the flip side.

Brush and Quail: Horse and Dragon

2011-08-23T21:48:00.001-07:00

Well, here are 2 drawings, first roughed in pencil then finished in ink. For the horse I used a brush and for the dragon a quail. Thanks for tuning in and catch you on the flip side.

TMNT study ;P

2011-08-16T11:04:00.001-07:00

Well here is a Vitruvian turtle. I had this idea while checking out the few images I could find on the upcoming animated Ninja Turtle series by Nickelodeon. I have a few turtle sketches and a rough effort at a character break down in my sketch book but this I made using my new toy, Mr. Cintiq. Thanks for tuning in and catch you on the flip side!

What if Death was a playeble Charcter in League of Legends?

2011-08-15T22:33:00.000-07:00

Here is a page (or two ;) ) from my sketch book. I thought to myself, what if death where a playable character in League of Legends? I figured he would have a scythe and also have magic, and just be a bad ass. I hope you like my take on Death, thanks for tuning in and catch you on the flip side.

Yesterdays Sketch with a little color

2011-08-05T13:21:00.000-07:00

Welp, this is gonna be brief since I have to get going to work, but here is a little in progress color from my sketch I posted yesterday, if time permits Ill have the time to finish this up soon and post the finished product. Thanks for tuning in and catch you on the flip side.

Big Arrows anyone?

2011-08-04T20:21:00.001-07:00

Here is another fantasy style warrior. Notice the head garb that is a giant bird head whose feathers emulate the effect of hair. Thanks for tuning in and catch you on the flip side.

A grunt for the Genoshe warior

2011-08-04T19:54:00.001-07:00

Its not always about me!

2011-06-03T21:18:00.000-07:00

Well, I talk about teaching art from time to time here, so i figured it was time to post some work of a student. As you can see she loves cats. She is using pastels on drawing paper. These tak us about 4 to 6 drawing sessions, and each session is 1:30 long, so she gets these done in about 6 to 9 hours, which with the level of detail is not bad, especially not for an 8 yr old. Thanks for tuning in and catch you on the flip side.

Wish me luck!!!!

2011-05-29T21:49:00.001-07:00

Well, its been a few days, practicing on my new Cintiq when I get a chance, which these week included doing these to doodles %100 digital (as apposed to drawing in pencil and coloring/painting digitally). These two images are for a greeting card company I applied to recently, these are the "try outs". I got the short script after applying and sending a link with my work, which I hope means they like what they saw. I am also hopeful that if I get this job, I will get to do different subject matters, styles, and mediums (yeah, from time to time I like to to get my hands a little dirty with pastles, or spalsh on some paint). So wish me luck guys! Thanks for tuning in and catch you on the flip side.

Painting in color

2011-05-22T22:48:00.000-07:00

So after a teaching an art class, where mys student is using pastels, I decided to try a quick face painting using the same process. In pastels there is not black and white under toning of the paper so its hit with straight color. Very different then the black and white still life process. I still have to see what method/style/technique of digital painting. Thanks for tuning in and catch you on the flip side!

Digital painting continues!

2011-05-17T23:01:00.000-07:00

Ok, so from b-day celebrations and a free lance gig, sorting/palling out finances for the next 21 months (god willing ill get 21 months no interest= pay off disney chase sooner for cheaper and cintiq). Until I get that cintiq Im still gonna practice with what I got. So here you can see the 3rd and 4th flower, much better than the 1st and 2nd, hence I zoomed in on them :P In the navagator window you can see Im near finished.... but now that Im getting the hang of this I want to go back and fix. Ill post finished one soon, than I will switch gears to get ready for sdcc, after which I will (unless I get something there) will be going back to learning digital painting. Thanks for tuning in and catch you on the flip side!

Logo that Bugs

2011-05-13T09:39:00.000-07:00

So here is a recent gig I did, the mascot design for a logo. The company is Speck Productions, and they seem to like working with me, I hope more of that goes around, as much as I want a regular staff job (doing art of course) I dont imagine I would ever stop freelancing on the side, I love the random projects that come with it. I never would have thought to draw a bug with a film camera, but here you have it. Thanks for tuning in and catch you on the flip side!

Learning to Paint... DIGITAL

2011-05-04T23:44:00.000-07:00

I know its been a bit of a while, I am bouncing between my day job with monsters, different portfolio peices, and an urge to learn how to paint digitally. After a long time of all work no play, I finaly got around to playing god of war 3. Beat it fairly fast and saw the making of videos. The art work by these guys at Santa Monica Studios is amazing, Andy Park and Jung Park have some major chops. So I have dived into digital painting. If you follow my blog you may see some colored work, but that is just really a glorified coloring book on photoshop style. So I needed to step back and learn like a newb. If your like me wanting to change to digital, and want a more organic traditional feel to your digital art I cant stress checking out ctrlpaint.com. This site is run by a former classmate of mine whom I respect a lot and can thank enough for his vids. If you see his sight you can see I clearly bought his bw to color vids. I had drawn the line at by had and scanned in, in this image I turned off that layer to show what it will look like painted. Thanks ctrlpaint.com and thank you for tuning in, catch you on the flip side.

Macer (didnt think to hard on that name)

2011-04-28T10:30:00.001-07:00

Hello, so here is the 3rd fantasy style character, I like how he is turning out so far, the big mace with the blades on the handle I think gives off cool ideas for a rather unique fighting style. I hope you like it. Thanks for tuning in and catch you on the flip side.

The LionHeart Princess

2011-04-25T08:49:00.001-07:00

Hello, here I'm keeping on with the fantasy character design I started up with the Genoshe Warrior. Here you see me go from pencil drawing, to line art, to gray tone markers to color with color pencil. I'm also trying this on the computer but feel a bit lost when I do, and the colors just and working for me like I would like them to. So here is an old school (on paper) design. Hope you like it, I had fun designing it. Thanks for tuning in and catch you on the flip side.

Genoshe Warrior

2011-04-13T22:13:00.000-07:00

Well, here it is, the Genoshe Warrior in full color, I use prisma color color pencils to do this, I don't have much to say, just glad I got the time to finish it up. Thanks for tuning in and catch you on the flip side!

My most Handsome Comic Book Page ;)

2011-04-08T23:14:00.000-07:00

Well, the Genoshe Warrior is not done being colored, and I'm kind of too far in to it to give a in progress by itself, so I figure I'll just put them in progress with the colors together, but for today, here is the most handsome page in all of comics, if you get the self serving joke, bear in mind it's just a joke. Thanks for tuning in and catch you on the flip side!

Genoshe Warrior pt2

2011-04-07T23:26:00.001-07:00

I'm going to assume you liked the line art of the Genoshe Warior, and I am going to assume you like this as well. I blew up my original by about 60% and transferred it to Canson mid tone paper (warm felt grey). Here I start applying markers much like the still life I am doing, to get tones, however on this one you can see I added the white color pencil for its lighter areas. I will be finishing this in full color so check in again to see it finished. Thanks for tuning in and catch you on the flip side!

MegaMind

2011-04-06T18:52:00.001-07:00

MegaMind!!!!!! I actually enjoyed this movie, it was a not loved by all (in my circle of friends), but I found the movie to be charming. DreamWorks doing their thing and making a spin on what would be a cliché story, turns super villain into super hero. I know this is a bit after the fact, but a kid at work, a real spunky handful of a kid had a good day and I told him I would draw it for him. Of course the next day he was not so good so I told him he could print it if he wants, but the original is now mine, unless he can be good for the rest of the year. I say good luck to him, he earns an EJGF original, and my job becomes 15% easier. Thanks for tuning in, and catch you on the flip side!

Genoshe Warrior

2011-04-04T23:52:00.001-07:00

I know, I know, my posts are far apart, Im working on so many projects at once that it takes me a bit to get them finished enough want to post them. Anyways, this is the Genoshe Warrior, she is strong, independent, and a leader in her own right. I don't usually to the fantasy stuff but I think this came out alright. I hope you like it, Ill be busting out some more fantasy stuff with different kinds of goblins and monsters. Thanks for tuning in and catch you on the flip side!

Still Life In Progress

2011-03-22T12:24:00.000-07:00

Sooooo, I've transferred the drawing then I start toning it with Gray Tone markers (Prisma Color from 10% to black). I will do this untill the image looks like a finished piece in black and white. Except the areas lighter then the paper, that is not done until the color pencil phase. Ill post the finished tone piece once it is done. Thanks for tuning in, catch you on the flip side!

Still Life In Progress

2011-03-22T12:01:00.001-07:00

Once I have the still life drawn in a nice clean line, I make a copy and print it out in a light blue line. On the reverse of that side smear on some pastel over where my line art is. After I have enough pastel I place it on a mid tone paper (in this case Canson felt grey). I use a dark color pencil and trace over the blue line thus imprinting the pastel on to the mid tone paper. This is drawing the same drawing about 3 times but it allows to have the most clean line drawing on the tinted paper, which is needed to be able to be able to use color pencils most effectively . Thanks for tuning in, catch you on the flip side!

Rendering Illustratoin

2011-03-17T22:39:00.000-07:00

This is the start to a long time over due art piece to complete a 3 piece. In my website you can find 2 color pencil rendering illustrations, this is the third to the series. I start off with a drawing that I clean up to a nice solid line art, as shown (a little cleaner thanks to the computer) as I do more I will be posting the in progress work, so keep checking in.

QuickStryke Page 2 in progress

2011-03-09T00:54:00.000-08:00

In page one we saw QuickStryke make it to the city from the desert where he meets up with the QuickBots. In page two we see QuickStryke use his other ability, multiplying himself at the snap of a finger (latterly). Once the numbers are more even we see our hero leap into action. I was actualy able to block this in very quickly, but on the last two panels found myself having to do a lot of fixing. I'm going to tighten up the figures just a bit more and finish of the details, though this page is not as background intensive as the last, it will still have them in the first in last panels. Thanks for tuning in, and catch you on the flip side.

Page One Done, Page 2 on the way.

2011-03-07T20:41:00.000-08:00

I decided it was a good time to take a break from page 2 (in progress) and scan page one. Here it is, I feel that these pages will truly be my strongest yet. I would like to thank 2 people for pointing things out that helped me make page one better. First my gf Melissa Genoshe helped me make the 4th panel better by advising I not do what I was originally going to. The to and from effect aided by the vanishing points in similar panel areas was my idea, but she totally helped. Second, my buddy Alfredo Contreras pointed out that in panel 6, where I was just going to have a lineup of QuickBots did not establish that QuickStryke was stopping right in front of them. This is important since the next page is gonna start the QuickStryke vs QuickBots battle. I drew 2 thumbnails, we agreed which one worked more and how that particular one could be improved. So note all artists: Don't be antisocial, it helps to have extra eyes, an models to. Thanks for tuning in, and catch you on the flip side.

Work in Progress

2011-03-02T23:28:00.000-08:00

Hello, I guess this still counts as 2 blogg posts in one day, by about half an hour, anyways, this is the QuickStryke page in progress. Hope you like. Thanks for tuning in and catch you on the flip side.

Road to Comic Con!!!!

2011-03-02T12:45:00.000-08:00

Well, from comic cons past, and my time at Top Cow, I learned I need to be in the art side, not a "suit" as the guys in the pit call those that are not artists, and that in the art side, I want to be a penciler, not colorist, and definitely not an inker (I am just not that good at inking). So this year I won't do a full on inked and colored comic to present, but I will present between 4 to 6 pages of storytelling. For this I'm going to use (from left to right) QuickStryke, a super hero teen with super speed and the ability to multiply, in short he has a unique way to bend time and space. Next is a big brute Britt, Named Jeeves. Jeeves is the right hand man to QuickStyrke's arch enemy. He is the opposite to QuickStyrke in every way, he's big, he's just one, and he's slow, in more ways than one. Next up is the QuickBot, don't let the name fool you, this is no friend to our hero QuickStryke, this is one of many identical robots made by QuickStyrke's arch enemy. The QuickBots posses the two key attributes to fight a hero that is super fast and can multiply, they too are fast and in nearly endless supply. Last but not least is QuickStryke's arch enemy, a mad scientist (not yet named). This came to be the best natural arch enemy for QuickStryke because I believe the best person to challenge QuickStryke is someone that is smart enough to know how to fight a hero that can get anywhere any time, at multiple places at a time. Thanks for tuning in, catch you on the flip side.

More Disney at You!

2011-02-23T20:43:00.000-08:00

So here is my take on the Beauty and the Beast, I will be coloring this one for sure, I think Bell came out pretty well. Hope you Like, thanks for tuning in catch you on the flip side.

Yup, been a long time!

2011-02-18T21:06:00.000-08:00

Ok, so I know its been a long time since I have posted, I'm still drawing every day but not getting to the scanning part. This is the sketch/rough for a commission I am working on. Once the person give me the dimensions of that frame Ill start on the actual art piece. For now I am just gonna have some fun coloring everyone's favorite Christmas Haloween cross over hero!!!

Little Mermaid

2010-12-17T10:20:00.000-08:00

Here is my take on Disney's Little Mermaid. Last weekend I went to the Egyptian Theater with my girl friend where we saw a screening of the movie fallowed by a panel with Glen Kean (not sure I'm spelling his name correctly, sorry if its wrong). He has worked at Disney for so long, and even helped make Tangled the great animation it was by showing some 2D tips to the 3D animators. I hope to go to more events like this in the future as they obviously inspire me to draw.Thanks for tuning and catch you on the flip side.

Christmas Card Mayham!!!!

2010-12-07T22:53:00.000-08:00

Ive been busy getting my Christmas cards done. A few several trips to Staples for the prints. Th first time I got lucky they messed up the color because I noticed I had a typo, but then thy printed the interior to big and it got cut off when I cut out the extra. They where nice though and because all in all I had to go back 3 times, I got my prints for free, and made notes for future prints to tell them to be sure to fallow certain steps. I used a bone folder to get nice folds and my mat cutter doubled as an excelent paper cutter still using the original blade. Ive been gathering addresses of family and friends and will be sending them out soon. Did you know stamps are now 44 cents? Nuts right? Any how, thanks for tuning in and catch you on the flip side.

Chrsitmas Card 2010

2010-11-29T19:36:00.000-08:00

Christmas Card Up Date

2010-11-22T20:53:00.001-08:00

Here is the inked version of my Christmas Card. Ive decided to go with digital colors as I am short on time and traditional colors take a lot more time to pull off. I think I mentioned this before but the names listed are of family and friends young kiddos. Ill be posting colored Santa tomorrow I hope, but no promises.

Last Day at Old Job

2010-11-19T13:29:00.000-08:00

I gave my 2 weeks notice, but next week there is no class due to the holiday. So it appears to be that today will be my last class with a certain great bunch of kids, I will miss them, and I hope they carry on with the stuff I have taught them. So they are getting some limited edition variant prints of QuickStryke (ok, to be honest, i didn't like my background colors and will be redoing them). Hopefully my ink will last and I wont have to make it one print per household, lol, they may not even want it. Anyways, here it is, what they will be getting. Hope you like it, thanks for tuning in and catch you on the flip side.

Christmas Card Preview

2010-11-18T17:52:00.000-08:00

So Ive wrapped up warming up, got in my groove, and here is a preview at my 2010 Christmas card, the names on the list are of family kids or friends kids. Santa is tired from checking the list and we got him here sleeping, not sure if I want to do inks and digital colors or if I want to do this as one of my traditional medium art pieces. Thanks for tuning in, and catch you on the flip side.

I was gonna do 2 in one day!

2010-11-18T01:55:00.001-08:00

I was gonna put this guy up earlier, to post up 2 in one day, but from drawing my Christmas card (ill be posting that as well) I got side tracked and here it is, at about 2am my time. I will do more of these on the spot made up characters, but for now its Christmas card painting and backgrounds. This guy is a magic powered super hero, his name is Henry Porter (see what I did there?), and he doesn't need a wand. Its late so I am off to bed, thanks for tuning in and catch you on the flip side.

Getting more in tune with myself

2010-11-17T12:33:00.000-08:00

I mentioned in my last post that I'm warming up, this is to work out some kinks in my work that tend to happen when I do the great evil that is not draw for too long. Usually I post later on in the day, but since I am not sure if I will be able to I am doing it now. I tend to draw good guys, so here is a bad chick, I named her GhostFire, her power you ask, I don't know, something to do with her white fire being all ghost powered?

Ninja-Gunslinger

2010-11-16T19:42:00.000-08:00

Ok, here is a Pop inspired costume (I was looking at a people magazine). Ive been so busy looking for a new job I have not been drawing much, and so these are a few pin ups I worked on as a warm ups. This pop star turns into a Ninja-Gunslinger with the addition of a blade and a gun, its fun but not quite my A game, just working out those bad habits in my warm ups. There is one more I will probably be posting tomorrow, then on to environments, and then through peeps in and we will get some shots. Ill be heading back to Top Cow once I start my new job and can afford the gas, and some new Bristol board as well. Thanks for tuning in, catch you on the flip side.

Tangeld

2010-11-15T21:02:00.000-08:00

So once again I got see the Disney animated move Tangled, its a great movie and I recommend it to all. True its another princess movie, but its filled with action, adventure, and lots of humor. Well, fallowing my water color project, I wanted to do some more traditional medium stuff. I used conte on a browned surface with a lot of tooth, this was a quick sketch and I really enjoyed it. I did do a quick youtube search to make sure I was fairly close to the costume, I was just missing the stripes on the poofy shoulder things and the lace up the torso. I hope you all like it as well, thanks for tuning in and catch you on the flip side.

I hope she likes it.

2010-11-10T21:35:00.000-08:00

well, this is only a few weeks behind the deadline (i.e. my gf's birthday). I think she will like it, all I need is a frame and its all set. I wanted to do something nice for her and I also wanted to work with a traditional medium. So I tackled 2 birds with one stone, but my moms birthday came up and she saw this, well looks like I'm going to be painting another flower, I just don't know if I should do water color again or acrylic. Thanks for tuning in, catch you on the flip side.

The mean team

2010-11-09T10:49:00.000-08:00

This is a sketch for a possible painting (Ive been missing working in color on traditional mediums, so Im taking a bit of time to work with all my paints :) ). It features the tough guys of tmnt, x-men, and cyber-force, you know Raphael Wolverine and Ripclaw. Weather or not this gets painted depends on time. Im caught up on my freelance work, but behind on personal work (great thing of being an aritst, people love art for presents, almost done with gf's 2 week late present, then on to moms. good thing they are both fans of my work). Thanks for tunning in, catch you on the flip side.

A work in progress

2010-11-04T20:52:00.000-07:00

So here is the QuickStryke in progress, I am trying this out for kicks, coloring non inked pencils. This is only my flats, I like to use a slightly darker mid tone of the color I will be using through out the picture. I will color it the way I usually do (super hero mainstream), and I may try a more "organic/painterly" approach. Thanks for tuning in, catch you on the flip side :)

This is a job I did for a local High School

2010-11-03T11:30:00.000-07:00

This is the Banning High Pilot as a DJ/PJ (podcast jockey). This was work done for Banning High and can be seen on their website, they were even kind enough to credit me.

You can see it here.

What could have been?

2010-11-03T11:16:00.000-07:00

This is a drawing I made based off a rough sketch for a cover for a character that was going to be named bullet, this was gonna be a team up thing between me and 2 friends and their characters (I know this sounds like the same nerdy thinks you hear from the many that try, but we actauly had some plans). Anyways, my rough plot outline was aproved but when the writer wrote the script, it was very different then what I had in mind and it suffered a lot some time line issues. The end of the stroy is he wouldnt rewrite and my script wouldnt be aproved. So I retain the right to use this character that is super fast and can multiply, and I renaimed him QuickStryke since Bullet was their idea, if I ever do this for reals I may work that in the story "your name should be bullet, cuz your as fast as one" "no, thats just stupid"... not that the name is dumb (I liked it and hoped to have kept it), just a funny reference to the origin in behind the scences of the character.

Return of the blog posts

2010-09-09T12:23:00.000-07:00

Im gonna be getting back on the drawing waggon more with changes on their way for me at Top Cow where i will be switching from office intern to art intern once they get new interns. Ill be posting some background work soon and also let you know what was wrong with them and the things Nelson Blake II said about them, hes gonna be a great mentor for me, talk to him for 15 min and I feel like im getting grad school fro free. thanks for tunning in catch you on the flip side.

2010-05-24T20:30:00.000-07:00

So Top Cow was kind enough to let me write a peace of added content for tracker, a CSI meets Werewolfs storyline. Even though my name has been in the Top Cow books for a few months now, having my name not under intern on having a page on what I conrtibuted is pretty cool. Ill be posting some stuff im doing to try and get in as an artist. So even though my posts arent always that regular I hope that you find it worth checking in to see whats up. Thanks for tunning in, see you on the flip side.

Top Cow Mooturns!!!

2010-05-21T19:22:00.000-07:00

Well here it is, my long time wanted to draw sketch of Top Cows speed demond, Velocity. In my drawing i have her tryin on a pair of new shoes. She is getting her own story drawn soon (well coming out, its already been in the works for a bit) at Top Cow by the talented Kenneth Rocafort. I did my enitial sketch using a 4h pencil (thats right, the kind that needs a sharpner), and cleand it up with some microns (5 and 1, no quil or brush this is not fancy paper). Once I had the clean line art i nocked out some pencil with an erassor and toned both figure and bust with a set of prisma color cool grey markers. Once the image was toned I use prismacolor color pencils to color in velocity. Ill be sure next time to double check her costume as instead of a lightning bolt I did an arrow, woops!!! Thanks for tuning in, see you on the flip side.

Working on a whats it called? -Pro bono? anyways, check it.

2010-05-20T22:44:00.000-07:00

The Banning High Pilots have graced me with the request to do their album art for their radio/podcast . This is my first set of thumbs to show, I will see what they say and take it from there. Thanks for tunning in, see you on the flip side.

Top Cow-ness contiues

2010-05-06T14:52:00.000-07:00

Once day this is something I will do at a con for a fan, and its all starting to happen, now all i got to do is spend endless hours getting better, honing my skills, and showing what i got, and it will start with persceptive. Thanks for tunning in, catch you on the flip side.

Not a Sketch, but a preporation for many drawings to come

2010-04-29T00:03:00.000-07:00

this is but part of a scan of a rahter large grid i have prepared to use in aid of many drawings to come. obviosly a 2 point perspective, this grid was done on a 23 by 35 inch paper. I have a few more key scans (parts of the grid i feel will be very helpfull for specific shots). So theres no fun sketch today, but a low res (sorry, do this work on your own) to show the behind the scenes of making an enviornment. Thanks for tuning, see you on the flip side.

Busy Busy but still Posting

2010-04-28T01:14:00.001-07:00

So, heres some more Top Cow love,a sketch of Harper from Madame Mirage (a strong recomandation from yours truly) Amazing art work by Kenneth Rocafort, with a great story by Paul Dini. I think Harper is the hotter of the two, but if you know me you know my gf is a cute perky blonde. Live long and prosper, and as of the Bullet stuff, and working with the MindWave guys is looking bleek, but who knows what the future holds (whele Bullet was supposed to but yeah) Thanks for checking in and see you on the flip side.

2010-04-23T21:54:00.000-07:00

Here is a sneak peak at bullet, a character im working on with Dave Wheeler and Samir Barret (MindWave Studios... or productions, i dont remember). Anyways, this character will make a debut in a teaser... issue zero or first look (im not sure how were doing it). We are currently doing the whole clashing creative heads, not agreaing with certain character traits, and well u get it. I hope we can resolve these issues soon so I can have a script to work from. Thanks for checking out my blog and see you'round.

A recent comission I did

2010-04-15T10:30:00.001-07:00

Well, heres something Ive never done before. For this Illustratoin I did my orignal sketch (11x13 as per request) on a peice of copy paper, for the final product I used my lightbox to cleanly transfer it over so that there is nothing but ink on the page. This was inked only using a brush. There are a few lines where my....intent? was not matched by skill, but I do feel I am improving little by little. Thanks for tuning in.

Finaly a post!!!!!

2010-04-14T23:29:00.000-07:00

Well, what can I say, my computer (PC for all u mac users to poke fun of me with) died. Windows would not launch, so I had no choice to but reinstall windows. Lost tons of files, and well we all know the pain that it is to reinstall software and hardware and the drivers that pairs them.... Nuff of that though, Heres a in pregress illustrations im working on when I get a chance to here and there. Hope you like, Im inking it all brush, and my aim is to do most if not all my future projects this way. Ill be posting more here more frequently. Also check out the Top Cow Blog, Ive been and will be posting there as well as part of my internship.

Thanks for tuning in... to all 2 of my fallower :)

2010-02-04T22:02:00.000-08:00

ok, so i did not want to be off the grid for so long, but well remodel in the bathroom had me away from my scanner (bathroom in the studio, made the whole studio dusty). than i got sick, and that through me off entirely. Last week I had an interview with top shelf comics for an internship, hope that goes well, but since then ive been hitting the sketch book pretty hard, and finaly got around to finishing the windboarders character spread. So heres the windboarders, and ill be posting up some of my sketch pages later on. ill try for a post a day again, but no promises to my 2 only fallowers..... i wonder if anyone looks at this?

2010-01-06T15:29:00.000-08:00

2009-12-23T14:47:00.000-08:00

2009-12-18T11:27:00.000-08:00

next up, the military

2009-12-15T10:23:00.000-08:00

well, here is a spread of some military types of the windboarder universe, this will be in my website wonce they are fully colored, im not sure if i want to do ink line work and mainstream colorig, or if i want to do digital painting style, or both.

character spread

2009-12-14T20:51:00.000-08:00

so, ive been working on many drawings not yet finished, and some of those are my own concept work for a univers featuring the windboarders, there will be more on them later, but for now here are some civilians from the universe that will be all about the windboarders story

2009-12-13T23:34:00.001-08:00

well, this one is also on the way, i will ink and color this one, i think its a good crack at deadpool, keep tuning in for the in progress updates.

2009-12-13T17:23:00.000-08:00

long time, but im working on getting it all together

2009-07-01T19:58:00.000-07:00

my scanner is temporarily out of commission due to packing for the big move, that keeps getting pushed back, but here is my return after the depression of thinking i was not going to the comic con, i have 2 other pages blocked and roughed in in some areas, but i do not think time will allow me to finish those and do all my website and color stuff i need to do for comic con, so in short, here is a more finished look (pardon the crappy photo pics, i promise scans for the finishes, ill unbox the scanner then.

2009-01-18T14:58:00.000-08:00

2009-01-14T12:26:00.000-08:00

this are a set of boards i did after righting a dumby script for the mighty-b show. in my story the kids are trying to get comics signed at the mall, their infron of the line when another line forms and the other line gets chosen. so the gang makes a plan to get their books signed.
