Ipad Practice Paints

A sign of things to come...

Whenever I get the itch to start something new I practice painting again. I am itching to start something new a)because I need be creative again b)i'm kinda inspired c)gotta be ready for anything and get new stuff in my portfolio. these are just practice paints i do on my ipad on the shuttle to work. not sure what I wanna do next, but I just need to get confortable with the tools again. this is a start...

CYCLOPS: Then & Now

Project Rooftop: Fan Art Fridays

daredevil. fan art fridays. project:rooftop

Wall Crawler

i like to do quick superhero sketches.

DAMIAN!!!!!!

Damian Wayne Robin. Project:Rooftop has Fan Art Fridays, as well as redesign contests. Fan Art Fridays are fun, cuz anything goes (as long as you stay on topic). The most recent one is in light of Robin's death, which happened in the past year in the Batman comics. I grew to like the kid, and this is how I saw him: growling and with a sword. Oh, he has no problem killing people by the way. Long story... LARGER VIEW I don't know what the eff is up with Blogger changes, but it kinda sucks. Images display is different. Anyhow, if you click the link above you can see the bigger view of the top drawing. Its a link to my Deviant Art Page while you're there.

Some Green Lanterns

So I entered these "designs" for the Project:Rooftop Green Lantern redesign contest. I didn't win, nor get an honorable mention (those bastards!!!). But its okay. I stand by my designs. I just wanted to do something fun, different and gay (at least for the caped one). These are my designs for Alan Scott Green Lantern from Earth 2 (nu52) and Hal Jordan, if he were designed... in the 90s? Anyhow, always fun and will enter more at P:R if I can help it. Oh and in case you're wondering.. Here are the winners as well as the runners up. I especially like Bal Gamis' design. Prolly cuz we both did Alan Scott, but he one-upped me... fucker.

What's all this business about a Gay Green Lantern...?

I am gonna enter the next Project:Rooftop redesign contest: Green Lantern. Just started some sketches this week. I'm wanna do a design each for at least 3 lanterns. This is the first: Nu52 Earth 2 Alan Scott Green Lantern.

Professor X

This is a piece I did for an aborted X-Men Gallery show we tried to do at work.

Robinzzzz

Time for some new artzzz.. Just some Robin train sketches. Like to mess around with this guy's costume from time to time...

X-MEN SHOW...

Prelim work...

my art team at work is putting on a gallery show. the theme is x-men. i picked prof x & colossus. thought they would be a good challenge. this is some prelim work. i can't wait to see what everyone does.

a little break...

speed paint

sketch: the look i fucking hate which is popular right now

The Wee Willie Winkie

Currently I am working on some pieces for the next Beasts & Beats Art Show. The theme this time is Nursery Rhymes. I've chosen Wee Willie Winkie. He's a Sandman type character that helps put restless kids to sleep. I envision him as a little scotsman sprite. Here i am trying to develop his look as well as those of the kids before I get started:

Avengers Forever!! w.i.p...

working in progress on a little illustration.

I Pity The Fool...

I pity the fool that falls asleep when I paint on the Caltrain. These are some ipad sketches. I use sketchbook pro. Just a little drawing when I can on the commute. Between episodes of cartoons, madmen, or catching up on dlisted.com, here are a few...

Beasts & Beats Art Show : TAROT CARDS
Final:





Show put together by Zynga Artists. April 7.

One A Day : 30 days FAIL.




fell off the horse for this last month. hit 14 or 30. part of being a little lost artistically. want to do something, but not sure what as I gear up to a life post sjsu...

1 a day / 30 days : month 2

I made it to day 60 of consecutive speed paints. Would be nice if it was double that number, but just hitting the goal was what I was aiming for. I think it is now in my system. This batch I started out stylizing the paintings more. Pretty much after that, my goal was figuring out how to simplify stuff without noodling. After a while, I realized that I need more challenging subject matter and not just what I wanted to use as reference. My next goal is to do 30 days of imagination speed paints. That will be my next goal....

Speed Paint : One Month Difference

What a difference a month makes. This is a speed paint I did twice. The left is a month ago (45 mins). The right I did today (30 mins). I'm happy to see improvement. I have been doing at least one a day. I'm on day 42!

Visceral Games Test : DEAD SPACE World


This is some old artwork I found from earlier this past semester. I was recruited to do an art test for Visceral Games (EA), makers of Dead Space and some others. I was asked to create an environment piece in the style of the game. This was my pass. It was fun, sooo different from what I normally do. I didn't get the job...
