Take Me to Where the Thunderers Roam

2012-01-17T16:46:00.000-08:00

Here is the nearly complete colors for the Founding Fathers image. My work on it has been pushed off for a while because of a new comic project. So far, I need to work on Washington's power sword and than do some overall touch ups.

Happy Holidays

Storm Riders

2011-12-20T07:44:00.000-08:00

Update. Enjoy these pretty colors!

Here is the colored version of, "One For Bringing It Down." I threw some textures on the lower part of the bobots leg, as well as inside the smoke and dust cloud, just to give it a tad bit more detail. I will intensify the light hitting the robots hand. The shine doesn't seem strong enough for how close the hand is to the source.

Finally! Here is the color study for the Founding Fathers image. I went a little further and detailed the four lower characters and played around with the glowing light from Hamilton's arm cannon. Before i get too much further, i need to finish the base colors on the flag, as well as the pole, and work with the smoke clouds coming from the evac-ship above. The colors for that ship need to be played around with, as well. Once all that is done, i can worry about the sky and the massive fleet way up there. Lots and lots of things to do!

A God Turned Foul By The Cruelty Of Man

2011-12-10T10:06:00.001-08:00

Firstly... the title. There's not too much to it. Its been a reoccurring story concept that i have been playing around with in my head. When you think of a god, they are beings with the capability to manipulate and influence the things around them, without too much change to themselves. They usually stay pretty constant. But, what if it worked the other way. What if they themselves are susceptible to manipulation and change by other forces than their own, that mold them into into something else. Anyways..... its probably a concept that's already been done, but that wont stop me from playing around with the idea and get a few drawings out of it.

ANYWAYS.... Here are some pictures.

Here is the inked subterranean dragon town. If you couldn't tell, it is related to the Tiny Dragon story that i have been playing around with for quite some time now. Its always nice to work on an image dealing with that story. I find the overall cuteness of the subject matter therapeutic, since most of what i do focus on more metal things.

Here is a fun pencil drawing i did not too long ago. I was filled with an urge to work on a bar scene. And since it was a bar scene it should have a bit of humor in it. Whats more humerus than a skeezy drunk getting hammered in the face after being a little too forward.

Ok, so, I just wanted to draw a chick in armor. That how it started. Than i added in the unburied coffin and the graveyard, and finally i threw in a monk and BAM, she is now a vampire hunter who had arrived just a little too late. For as little forethought that went into this drawing, im a little surprised by how much story came out of it.

Here are a series of character sketches i did for a small story idea. Dont really know if i will peruse it, but it was pretty fun drawing them and coming up with some back stories.

Something about Armour and heels. Dont know why, but its appealing. That and Skulldrons.
This is one of the main characters, She is introduced to the story with a massive boulder crushing her legs. See is rescued by the other main character, the priest below, who had to amputate both of her lower legs in order to get her out. Later she had some prosthetic legs crafted for her, and shortly after that, befriended an awesome hawk named Lex. She than tracks down the priest in order to repay him for saving her life.

This is the other main character. He is a battle priest who diserted his post since he did not approve of the imperialistic ambitions of the kingdom he once served, and believes that the king has manipulated the countries beliefs to justify his actions and ambition. He is lighthearted, open minded, and forgiving. An overall good dude.

All of the primary characters are or become members of the Honor Bound, which is a mercenary contractor. Here is an image with the groups superiors dramatically posing, chilling, on a cliff. I mean, why not?

I Dine With Death

2011-11-06T13:12:00.000-08:00

Awesome title right! Anyways..

I do not have much for this update, but i was rummaging through my image folder and found the third page for the comic project i am working on with a couple people from conceptart. I relised that i never posted the finished pencils on my blog. So here it is.

Internet and a Brief Change in Style

2011-09-18T09:06:00.000-07:00

After about a month and a half, my new place in Richmond has internet. Sooooo, here is a post!

These past few month have been quite artistically diverse. At my job in Northern Virginia I have been working on the fall advertisement, and am happy to say that its finally done. I have also picked leather working back up. Its quite refreshing to be using my hands for something creative and interactive. At the end of the day, there is an immense sense of accomplishment when i look at the designs and textures stamped on a piece of leather.

Other than the advertisement and leather work, I started on a trio of inks. It is for a very large story that i have been working on in my spare time. Its has all the sweet stuff like action, romance, despair, redemption, as well as a giant serpent and a massive army of the dead. Of course these images will not capture the full scope of the story, but instead the more vital points that affected the two main characters the most .For this, I began working in a different direction. I felt that there must be as much flow through the images as possible, so the concepts became more stylistic.

"I Lace My Dreams In Silver."

" I hide My Heart In Steel"

"Our Spirits Shimmer like Gold"
This last one is not finished yet. I need to work on the small image on the left. So far there is just a sketch, and i will need to get a couple of horse references in order to finish it

Colors, Samurai, Comics, and a Big ol' Robot

2011-07-24T08:49:00.000-07:00

I Have a bunch of things to post today.

This first one has been deemed finished for quite some time, but I never had the time to post it. It was a rather enjoyable piece to work on, so i might revisit it later and do some tweaks. It is always nice to work on pieces with a bit of humor, even though its a bit juvenile. O... The title is, 'A Sight For Sore Eyes.'

A couple days ago I came to a realization that I have never seriously drawn a samurai. I felt a bit ashamed and began to come up with some concepts and situations for this samurai picture. Somehow a robot squeezed its way into the picture and became an important part of the concept I was fine tuning. Eventually, the robot became a much more massive part of the idea and began to take the focus away from the samurai. In the end though, I believe the outcome is satisfactory. The samurai may not be the only focus of attention, but he still is one and in the end that was my goal. Well ....kind of stretching it a bit, but it works.

I title the piece, 'One For Taking It Down.' When i get to coloring this picture the magical arrow about to be fired will be much more apparent.

Feeling sorry for Samurai Phil having to share his spotlight, i inked a closer more detailed picture of him. He even has some awesome facial scars and a snarling mask. He looks like someone who could throw down with a giant robot.

A good friend of mine Invited me to work on a comic with him and a few other people. I will be working on the pencils and and my friend will color over top of it. I am interested to see how the final pages will come out. This is what i have come up with so far.

Sketches, Busts, and Inks

2011-06-20T12:03:00.000-07:00

I have the day of today. That means i can update this blog. It certainly in need of some more updating. There are a bunch of things here, although most of them are only sketches. I have a few colored pieces in the works but don't want to show them off yet.

Here are some character inks for the Silent Guardian story. This past weekend I enjoyed a nice long car ride to and back from West Virginia. Both of these where done in the car, which got quite frustrating on bumpy highway. This was the only moment that i can remember where traffic was considered a blessing. The lower one was mostly a practice in foreshortening and speed. Looks ok.

Here are some random character busts. Only one of which has a bust.

While spending the night in West Virginia. I had an idea for a sub-story, or situation, for the Tiny Dragon story. Grimlock, the more intellectual and creative of the two, Is looking for a way to interact with his human companions. Eventually, he decided that shrinking them was the answer. While rummaging through his collection of gadgets, he came a cross a "shrink ray" that has never been used. Trusting the label, he put it to use only to find out that it was not a "shrink ray," but a "youth ray." Now he must find a way to put things right. The point of the story is to keep your rays properly labeled. Anyways, here are some of the sketches.

Some Color

2011-06-05T09:48:00.001-07:00

The colors are pretty much done for this picture, although there are a few more things that I feel must be done before it is finished. I need to go through the the line work and tone down the black outline so it is not as restrictive to areas to high movement areas as well as distant areas. Hopefully that will add more depth and movement.

Here is another color study. The title is, "A Sight For Sore Eyes." O me and my juvenile sense of humor.

A Quick Little Story For A Quick Little Sketch

2011-05-14T08:58:00.001-07:00

While on a lunch break last week, i started scribbling a spirit (genie). I pretty much had a picture in my head of what i wanted it to look like. One big aspect of it is that it appeared to be made partially of stone with carvings of the contract to its owner inscribed on those parts. From there, i came up with a spur of the moment story summary. If you are interested in the story, and do not mind a gratuitous amount of spelling errors, feel free to read the story on the image above. I see it as a light hearted and fun story that will not take itself too seriously. And if anything comes from it, it will probably be in the form of a series of short comics. Anyways, I think it turned out pretty well for only being done on a lunch break. Way to go me.

Lastly, here is a color study for an image that i did a couple months ago. Well see what happens from here.

Final Colors

2011-05-08T16:26:00.000-07:00

So here are the final colors. I wanted to keep the color scheme cool, mainly relying on blues and purples. I used a bit of green in her hair to throw it off a bit, as well as some red on the necks and the head she is chowing down on. The original layout had some empty space for text, but as I kept working on it, I became accustomed to the empty sky space. It worked really well with the mood. So im debating on including the text or not. O decisions decisions.

Busy Busy Busy

2011-05-01T15:11:00.001-07:00

Work has been taking up a lot of my time as of late. My boss promised me that the my hours will return to normal in a week. I will miss all that extra money flowing into my pocket, but the surplus in art time will be welcomed. Here are some of the things I have been working on.

I went back into my pile of Inks and found this picture that i was meaning to color. So, to set the pace on achieving the goal, I laid out a color study. Its pretty basic, but the details in the skull pile should really make it interesting when that point is reached.

Here are the finished inks for Murder Parade. I was thinking of putting some party banners on the upper empty area. Just a thought though. I really want to color this one, so im hoping my boss is right about my work schedule chilling out a little.

I was feeling a little blue this morning so I started sketching a happy picture. The subject is stemming off of the Dragon story started a while back. In this picture, the two main ladies where brought to the tiny dragons "tiny" Capital city deep underground. The city is quite adorable and the market is filled with pie shops and candy stores.

I Guess This Is It

2011-04-24T07:39:00.000-07:00

This is Pretty much it. There are probably a few nit picky parts left, so if any of you see anything that might need some attention let me know.
Now I am going to work on my new business cards!!

A Bunch Of Things Going On

2011-04-13T14:03:00.000-07:00

OK. SO its been a while since i posted anything. In my defense a week of it was because I was on vacation. I visited a friend in Portland for a pretty awesome, wet, week. It was pretty neat being on the west coast. I saw an incredibly clean and green city, saw some some really big trees as well as Haystack rock, which is not only very big, but was also in the Goonies. I further developed my addiction to sushi and wasabi, saw a short mummy, watched some chickens cross a road, saw an amazing animated movie called The Illusionist, and witnessed a homeless couple break up with copious amount of spit flying. Than there was all the inking and drawing.

I wasnt able to work on this until i got back from Portland. Sometimes i really wish my Labtop didnt torch its insides. But when i got back, i was able to put a few hours into it. I still have to work on the robo-bear's other arm, and do some things with the background. Other than that, probably a few touch ups.

There where plenty of drawing to do without my computer. On the flight over, I started to work on some more Inks. Although, most of the flight I was a bit distracted by my seat neighbor and the interesting conversations we had. The top picture is titled "Bitches Be Crazy." The ultimate goal was to come up with a comic cover concept. I took it further than expected by inking it but o well. There is a little graphite work i would like to do in the background and some more details in the foreground. Other than that, it will be colored if i still have interest in it.

This is the other one I started on the flight over, but worked on it much more than the picture above while in Portland. It is titled, "Murder Parade." I have been juggling this concept around for a while and finally got to it. As you can see, it is only half inked and barely entirely drawn out. I have been noticing that things dont have to have be as drawn out before i ink them anymore. Most of the details and pretty much everything else comes in the inking phase. I feel that I have become quite comfortable and confident with inks. If anything catastrophic happens, there is always white out. Anyways..... i really want to see this picture to the end. Something about it is comically relaxing to me. Its all their cute little faces.

This is an inking in my sketchbook that was revisited over and over during the flight there and back. This started as four separate drawings before i got bored and mashed them together. Try and find the four original sketches. You will get a reward. SATISFACTION!!!

A tad bit further

2011-03-27T15:45:00.000-07:00

Not too much is different from the color study posted earlier. I just spent some more time on Mr. Roosevelt's colors. There are some shadow parts that can be made darker, but i am trying to avoid having him too dark altogether.

Teddybear Color Study

2011-03-21T12:04:00.001-07:00

I have a surprise day off of work today thanks to the rain so why not spend the day off coloring one of my inks. Here is the color study for my second teddy picture. I decided that a menacing color scheme was best so i focused in using reds and purples. Of course teddy will be in his usual attire, but a lot less yellow will be present once all the grime is added on. I added some yellow on the claws and metal bits to see if the colors distribution could be spread out more through the image instead of having just teddy as the only source of yellow. The metal yellow might have to be toned down a little.

Founding Fathers

2011-03-01T07:55:00.000-08:00

Here is the inked image of the Founding Fathers picture I have been working on. It features Washington, Hamilton, Adams, Franklin, and Jefferson. This is one of a series of revamped historical political figures. For a while I had no idea what to put in the sky. First it was going to be a military helicopter hoovering above, than it was an alien invasion. That didn't quite fit in with the setting that was already there, but i did like the idea of having some sort of futuristic crafts in the sky. Later I decided to full the sky with transport ships evacuating the inhabitant of earth.

Here is a summery: Far into the future, Earth has been overrun by a mutant plague and the remains of humanity if forced to evacuate the planet. A few years before the plague a few of the Founding Fathers returned from the dead to protect and serve. Outfitted with state of the art technology not only to restore themselves but also to improve their capabilities, The Founding Fathers have become an unmatchable force. During the evacuation of Earth, they chose to stay behind and hold off the hordes of mutants until the last ship has taken off. From there they plan to travel the globe and extinguish the mutant threat so that one day humanity might be able to return home.

Its been a bit.

2011-02-24T11:52:00.001-08:00

Sorry for the absence. I have been busy on a couple graphic advertising jobs for work. I received a bit of a job redefinition with me focusing on more of the visual advertising for the company. I am, perfectly all right with that. Beats what i used to do.

Here are a few things i have been working on on the side.

Villain hanging out with her friends

Here are some new character concepts for my Silent Guardian story. I added much more to Clair's character, incorporating more of the tech she would add to her arsenal as she progressed through the story. The main feature is the Leg Supplement Armour which greatly improves the strength of that area, improving running ad jumping, allowing increadable maneuverability on the rooftop system in the city.

For Nicks character, the suit was redesigned into something a little simpler since it is not made for appearances and for getting in the way of a hurling truck or train or building. I figured that it would gather alot of wear and tear rather fast so a simpler but effective design would make it easier to repair and replace.

Here are some concepts for a picture I am working on featuring the some of the founding fathers fighting mutants in the future.

George Washington

Ben Franklin and Alexander Hamilton

John Adams and Thomas Jefferson

BULLY 2: The Most Dangerous Game, Cyborg Bear Punching

2011-01-25T09:58:00.000-08:00

A college chum commented on my other Teddy Roosevelt picture and mentioned another "metal" situation that the former President would find himself in. Here it is.

I usually dont use speed lines, but figured that since this is already a cartoonish situation why not.

Pencils

Pies and inks

2011-01-22T18:42:00.000-08:00

Here is the color for the pie picture. I feel like it turned out pretty good. In the end, she ended up redder than originally planned, but it feels good. Also, i have the inked flying picture. Hopefully it can get colored soon. That might have to be pushed back since i got a graphics comission for a landscaping company. I get to design a doorknob hanger add. Hopefully it will turn out well and pretty fast.

BULLY GOOD

2011-01-15T19:06:00.001-08:00

I finally got around to coloring the Teddy Roosevelt picture. Its still got some work to it. Teddy needs some more color, he is looking a little pale. A raptor needs to be colored in, and than I need to go in with some more highlights. The text behind him needs to be reworked. It looks a little odd the way it is cut out around him.

Antagonist

2011-01-13T07:11:00.000-08:00

this morning i wanted to work a little more on the dragon hunter character, so i came up with this sketch of him in his combat gear. A little much or his target, but he likes to show off.

Sketches and inks

2011-01-12T14:33:00.000-08:00

So here is the more up to date drawing of the flying picture that i posted earlier. Its ready for inking and than some color.

I figure that they might as well breath fire since they are dragons. They do not use it often though. Only when they need to.

I spent a while thinking about a villain and ended up with this guy. Secretly he is a dragon hunter , what would be a better antagonist for a bunch of dragons than that, and is spending most of his time trying to catch these little dragons. He has to do it secretly because he is also dating Lee.

Sketch

2011-01-07T08:49:00.000-08:00

Here is a sketch for another idea i had dealing with the tiny dragon story. My overall goal for this piece is to have plenty of movement, and what has more movement than a flying robo-dragon being chased by rocket hangliders and bi planes? Nothing. For the actual piece i will work more on the foreshortening of the robo-dragon by making he head a little bigger thus bringing it further forward in the image.

And then there where posts

2011-01-02T07:05:00.000-08:00

Alright, here are a bunch of images that i have worked on over the past who knows how long.

This has got to be one of my favorites. Mainly for the fact that the original inking is very big. It is by far the largest inking that i have worked on so far. The original goal was to create a high activity image. I think i did it. Thank you flamethrowers.

The title for this one is "A Sight For Sore Eyes."

This inking has sat around for a while. I don't know why, i really love it.

This inking was finished about an hour ago. The original concept was quite simple and only had the woman with the gun and a blank background. The further i got into it, the more i felt like there should be something else in it. So i added a the dark lab environment and hung up the Silent Guardian to a contraption.

Sketches

This is a Halloween piece. This is the villain of The Silent Guardian story chilling out on Halloween chowing down on some heads

The two above are inks for the Thunderbird story that is currently in progress. As far as i know in the story so far, there aren't any robots, or at least none that take an active role. I dont know why i included them but they do look pretty neat and fit in with the spacey sci fi theme.

Another Christmas Picture

2010-12-24T21:22:00.000-08:00

Here is the other Christmas picture i have been working on. I still haven't decided to add text or just leave it as is

Merry christmas

2010-12-23T11:07:00.001-08:00

A day ago i had some spare time on my hands, so i decided to make a holiday picture. It could have been the Christmas spirit but i was surprised how fast i got this done.The only other thing i want to do with this is change the text. I feel that there might be a more appropriate font out there

Something Different

2010-12-18T15:26:00.001-08:00

It been a while. I finally got that larfe scanner i was wishing for. Now i can scan my larger images and work on them on my computer. So far, i have a large pile of inks that still need to be scanned and colored. I have a good list of images to work on during this winter. Anyways, this is the first of many posts of inks.

A while back i was stuck in a horrible rut. To help get rid of it I decided to draw something that I usually dont draw, light hearted, funny, dare i say CUTE pictures. I enjoyed it so much that a story quickly formed around it. It is about two dragons (by the way, in this story dragons are actually small lizard creatures that only grow up to around a foot tall and live in a big city underground). One dragons is intelligent, creative, and a bit clingy. The other one is a bit lazy, mellow, and has and endless appetite. The two somehow get stranded above ground and are found by two women, one being a caterer and the other a small time lawyer. Since the lazy dragon likes food, he follows the caterer around, while the other dragon follows the lawyer around because of her intellect and cunning. Thats pretty much all i have right now, but if i run into another rut, i will probably peruse this story again.

Pie time

Grimlok and Lee

Kordon and Sophia

2010-10-17T17:45:00.000-07:00

So i was listening to a band called Amon Amarth, and they have a song titled Twilight of the Thunder god. When i listened to it, these images came to mind. Dont be harsh, just sketches

Thunderbird

2010-09-19T07:50:00.000-07:00

A while back I had a little idea, and it started with these two images.

These images tell the beginning ant the end of a simple story. I plan on making a series of short comics dealing with this story. Each one will be a different version of each of the others. Each version will star the same characters, but with different personalities and different situations, which will reflect in the path and actions they take through the story. This will mainly be apparent in the main character since the story is following him. With each progressive version, the overall story will be explained more and more.

So this is what will be taking up most of my time for a while. I m also going to post some of the other sketches I have been working on pretty soon. I just need to get my pesky scanner working again

Color study

2010-07-29T18:24:00.001-07:00

Inking so far

2010-06-05T13:07:00.000-07:00

This is my inking so far. All I need to do now is to work on the distant city silhouette in the background than the coloring can start

My New Inking Project

2010-06-01T16:27:00.000-07:00

Princess Coloring

2010-05-29T11:52:00.000-07:00

The coloring is well under way. Next, I need to work on the tree as well as its squirrel, the bear, and finish the mountains in the background

New Logo Sketches And Color Study

2010-05-23T08:13:00.001-07:00

Here are some sketches for a possible new logo. As you can see from these sketches, no new news for people who know me, I have a fascination with ducks. A while back, a friend noticed that ducks have made themselves a reoccurring object in my drawings and said that I should have a duck for my logo. So that is what I am working towards with these.
I am leaning towards number three. As you can tell, my heart was never into number four. I wanted to have a crossed sword thing going on behind the duck, but it looks like the poor creature has been run through.

Here is a quick color study for the princess picture. Looking at it now, I might change the cape from green to red. Doing this would help separate her from the background a little more. I also need to find another place to put some orange to compete with the fox

Princess Inking

2010-05-22T16:49:00.001-07:00

Alright, this is it. The inking is done. I am going to start working on a color study, than move onto the actual coloring. I have been wanting to rework my logo for a while now, so I might put off the coloring for just a little bit so I can work on that.

Some Inking

2010-05-18T14:40:00.001-07:00

I was able to get a few hours off of work because of all the rain. Instead of catching up on sleep, I decided that my time would be better off spent inking one of the many pictures that I have stockpiled waiting to be inked. Im about half way through, and I think its going pretty well.

His dirty Little Secret

2010-04-30T18:35:00.000-07:00

So this is a summery of the story. A woman discovers that her boyfriend is a collector of unusual books. She sneaks into his study one night and sees a tattered old book on top of his desk. She opens it and begins to skim through it, unbeknown to her that the book is quite possessed.

Hello

2010-04-23T07:34:00.000-07:00

Sorry about the lack of posts. Work has been getting quite hectic this week.

I had some free time from work and was able to mess around with the Tusk album cover. Hopefully it is a little closer to done. I need to do some more work on the ice text, probobly improve the the chill air coming off of it. By the way, that stick man is a result of boredom.

Over the weekend I visited my local art store and splurged on some inks and nice pens. Here are a few of the fast inks I did over that glorious weekend
I am quite interested in the one with the robot. Maybe I will rework it and put some time into it

Tusks Color Study

2010-03-11T10:53:00.000-08:00

Here is the color study. The sky used to be a deep red, but I feel that the blue works so much better. I am going to dull down that punk dude off to the side as well as the other pink dude behind the central character.

Pretty Pretty Princes Sketch

2010-03-07T13:47:00.001-08:00

So, like the beach picture before, I wanted to draw something that I usually dont draw. I thiought for a while, than I saw an ad for a disney movie. Than I thought, what are Disney movies notorious for? Princesses!!! So I drew a princes picture. To make it more interesting I added in an Elkifant, part elk part elephant. Half way thgough I got a little bored with this happy dappy picture, so I sketched an ominus dinosaur footprint in the snow. I have not decided if that will go into the final.

TUSKS Pt 2

2010-03-06T17:30:00.000-08:00

That's it for the inking. Time to color.

TUSKS!!!!!!!

So, a while back, a friend and I came up with a ULTRA SPEED DEATH BLACK METAL POWER BAND called TUSKS. The idea was started when she asked me to photoshop tusks onto her, and it later evolved into the most metal thing in the world. Here is a sketch of the album cover. It goes strait to the point, which is.......TUSKS. I cant wait to start working on it.

Here is the list of songs that will make up THE ABSOLUTE TUSK ALBUM

Respect the Tusks
Death Tusks
Kiss of the Tusk
Naked Tusk (The Warrior Saga)
Embrace the Tusk
The Fall of the Seventh Moon Upon My Tusk
Knights in White Tusks
Glory Tusks
Staring Through the Eyes of the Unforgiving Tusk
The Lonely Tusk Saga
Ballad of the Crimson Tusk

Beach Picture

ZOMBIED!!!!

2010-02-20T08:14:00.001-08:00

Here he is. All done. Time nit pick the other two.

Zombie King

2010-02-02T17:39:00.001-08:00

Here is the color study for the Healer. You can see where i started on the final colors. For start, i think it is going pretty well.

Beach Picture

2010-01-28T13:13:00.001-08:00

So, i decided to take a break from the warlord trio and started on the colors for my happy beach picture. It was a hard adjustment to go from dark and broody to "happy happy lets go fly a kite."
I have decided to give this picture a rest for a day or so and return to it with some fresh eyes. My priority from there is to work on the object in the background because i feel that they might be competing with the figures in the foreground a little too much.

Paladin

2010-01-28T13:06:00.000-08:00

Here is the Paladin in all of his glory. I feel that his name works perfectly since he is its polar opposite.

Warlord Mystic

2010-01-18T12:49:00.000-08:00

Just a little more color editing and than I will call it done

Just a start

2010-01-12T13:52:00.001-08:00

Here is the beginning of the Mystic. I dont know what color I will make that bird frog thing, probobly a light purple or a dull pink. After all of this I will get to the third warlord, and than that beach scene I keep putting off.

Sorry for the lack of posts

2009-11-03T18:18:00.000-08:00

Sorry about the lack of posts for all of those who follow my blog. I've had a lot of things going on recently. Luckily, a few of those things are done with, so now i can focus on my blog and drawing again. Right now I am working on the Warlord series, but my computer has decided to be a bit temperamental, so the process it going rather slowly. Here are some sketches and concepts that i am finally posting.

A cover concept for my story. I am wondering what they are looking at. That hand on the ground means that there is something interesting beyond the frame.

Here is my happy beach picture. I just wanted to draw a happy scene. I usually focus on darker and more serious subject matter and i was getting a little tired of it. So i wanted to do something different and a little bit uplifting. What is more uplifting than the beach? I am pretty happy about how this sketch turned out and i really want to peruse it into completion.

For this drawing, i wanted to show a bit of a landscape at an interesting view.

I don't have too much to say about this one. It is just a concept of a character created a while back. I felt like i should give her some spotlight.

Warlord Tripdick

2009-08-13T15:40:00.000-07:00

Once upon a time, I nerded out a little bit, and drew a Warhammer inspired Khorne warlord. Later on I decided that it would be fun to do a few more warlord drawings, so i did. It was from there that my Zombie King and Sorcerer, whom I drew while watching Wishmaster, where created. From there I decided to give them parody names because I though it would be funny.

The Paladin (Warlord)
I figured that name worked because he is definitely not holy or noble.

The Mystic (Dark Sorcerer)
There are many "good" names for magic users, but Mystic took the cake.

The Healer (Zombie King)
The name works perfectly in every way. He can heal you, but only if you are dead and disgruntled.

Leather Armor

2009-08-04T12:07:00.000-07:00

Alright. I finally have the pictures of the end of the stamping phase of my leather armor. Im sorry it took so long to get these pictures, I have been kind of sluggish when it came to that.

Closer front view

Back View

Side view featuring the Odin bracer, and the Fenris wolf. I felt that the two should be paired up together because the wolf will eat Odin at Ragnarok.

Other side. You cant see it that well, but on the shoulder piece, there is Jormungand the serpent. And below that is the Thor bracer. These two I was also compelled to pair together since at Ragnarok, Thor and the serpent fought. Thor will slay the serpent but succumed to its venom and died after staggering nine paces. Hell of a way to go huh.

A better picture of the front of the sholder piece featuring the serpent Jormungand

A better view of the pauldron featuring Fenris the wolf

In this view of the front, there is a better view of Yggdrasil, the norse world tree, whose roots connected the miltiple worlds.

A closer, yet kind of shadowy, view of the Odin and the Thor bracer

NOW TIME FOR SOME POSING!!!! WOOOO!!!!

This one i call "Come hither dear"

This one is titled "Touchdown"

Dramatic pose? I dont know what to call it

This one i like to call, "I approve this message"

This one needs no title. You have to play a really metal song when viewing it

NOW... TIME TO STAIN IT

Basic color for monster

2009-07-22T17:25:00.000-07:00

I came up with the monsters basic color. I dont quite know why i am posting it since the colors are going to be messed up by the site, but i am doing it anyways

BLAHH BLAHHH

Sketches

2009-07-04T14:32:00.000-07:00

Why have a glowing eye, when you can have a glowing eye socket.

Conquistador Vs. Aztec Robot Sketches

2009-05-14T15:49:00.000-07:00

This is a sketch and some early inks of a picture I am currently working on. The original drawing did not quite have the angle i wanted, so i rotated it just a tad and i think it looks better. I only have a few more things to do before i continue inking, and than I can start coloring.

Silent Guardian End Comic

2009-05-12T10:00:00.000-07:00

This is the comic I have been working on. This is the ending of my Silent Guardian story. There are more pages to come, i just haven't inked them yet.

2009-05-12T09:41:00.000-07:00

Don't worry, she is not going to die. The story is not over

Crappy Game Design Screenshot........YAY!!....NO

2009-05-03T20:35:00.001-07:00

This is far from my best piece, but for some reason I wanted to post it. For that game design project, I got stuck doing the screen shot. It was a horrible few hours, and there was no inking to be done, so it sucked for me. But there where a few funny things that came out of it, one of them being the cyclopes skeleton( This was one of my first attempts not only to draw a cyclopes, but also drawing a cyclopes skeleton). And of course the dude firing the LIGHTING BOLT OF JUDGMENT

The colors are a lot duller than i remember..... o so long ago

More Character Concepts

2009-04-23T17:51:00.000-07:00

These are the character concepts for the Emperor and the Empress in that theoretical game my friend and I are working on.

This is the emperor. In the game he is going to be quite a lightweight and compensates by having six power pauldrons. I was joking about pushing the compensation aspect further by giving him six capes.

This is the empress. She is a quite a bit more formidable than the emperor in that she has a shit load of magic, and, if you havent noticed, has a huge ass claw.

Some Character Concepts

2009-04-17T15:43:00.000-07:00

So a friend and I are working on some designs for a hypothetical game project. Here are a few concepts I have worked on

This charming fellow is named Rathatoth. As you can tell he works at Burger King.......Joking. He is one of the bosses in the game.

This is the evil empress. I added the claw because i believe that it is awesome, enough said. She doesn't always wear it. Only when she wants to kick some ass.

This cute little feller I named Bear Grylls because I thought it was totally necessary. I also gave him a little kitty friend (I wouldn't put too much hope into the cat). This is a critter species you run into through the game.

Portfolio Updated and Nearly Done

2009-04-17T15:16:00.000-07:00

So i did a little bit to the text. I might do a little more to the text, but everything else is done

This is the spot illustration for the back of my portfolio. According to my story, if you stack ducks properly, you can open a gateway into the Cosmic Multiverse.

Portfolio Cover

2009-04-14T19:26:00.000-07:00

Dont worry about the title, I am still working on it

Comic Book Characters

2009-04-02T18:31:00.000-07:00

So, I am working on another comic for a portfolio. The story for this one will be a continuation of the other one, but this will be the ending. This is the bad guy for the comic, but the twist is that he was the hero in the beginning of this entire story.

This is the heroin for my new comic. If she looks familiar, you are right. It is Clair, the love intrest for the now ex-hero at the beginning of the entire story. Now she has to confront him and his new evilness. How can this end? You will have to wait and see.

This is what happend when you make a snowman out of evil snow

2009-03-30T10:18:00.000-07:00

These kids are screwed.
This was for a project in which we had to illustrate a calendar picture for the winter season

Chicken Legs? Whaa.........

2009-03-29T14:19:00.000-07:00

These pieces where made for a story I created. What happens is, a guy is desperately looking for a place to live, and he finds an advertisement for a house for sale. He goes to investigate and finds out that the house is owned by the Babba Yagga. Because he is desperate he disregards the fact that the house has chicken legs, and goes in. The Babba Yagga than tries to push him into an oven, but he is able to push her in instead. The witch dies and the man takes posession of the house and decides to make some pies. The End. Keep in mind that this was just a summery, dont judge me on my storytelling skills.

Playing Card Set

2009-03-29T14:10:00.000-07:00

This is an old assigment I got more than a year ago. I decided to make a playing card set with a homeless person theme. I think it is quite humorous.

This is the more recent of the three. There are a few things I need to do to fix the perspective
This is an inking practice I did on the character. As you can see, I had intentions to make the knife larger
My character is dressed up in a Little Red Riding Hood costume, and is about to kick some ass with another unnecessarily large gun with an even more unnecessarily large bayonet

2008-11-23T11:59:00.000-08:00

This is my robot, equipped with an unnecessarily large plasma cannon

2008-11-23T11:37:00.000-08:00

Basic facial drawing of my hero, probably the first of many before i get a definite idea
