Noir Poster

Hello, once again. It's been too long... again... I know. I have failed miserably at what I've tried to accomplish on my blog. Bummer. But it's still a place for me to vent, post artwork, and such so here I am. Doing what I do. Work has gotten VERY busy. GOOD busy. That, on top of all the other projects I'm working on, has caused me to neglect my blog. Sucks, I know. Hopefully, I'll get better at it soon enough. Anyhow, here's another speed painting. Single layer Photoshop painting. About 15 minutes. Kind of a Noir themed poster I guess. More to come soon. I PROMISE! Til' here!

More Marker Sketches and a Laker Game

Hello, again. Here are more marker pieces from my sketchbook. Same mediums as last time. I'm running out of ink in my copics, have to remember to pick up some new ones. Did these while on break during Jury Duty which I'll be tied up in until March. Booooo...Anyhow, I'm also posting some pictures of my cousins and I at the previous Laker game (Lakers vs. Hornets). We won in overtime. AWESOME game. Enjoy!

Marker Sketch Dump

Hello, hello, hello. I know it's been a while, but here are some marker pieces from my sketchbook. This time and from now on I will be adding a watermark to my work because a lot of artists I follow and know have been ripped off a lot for their work lately. Can't imagine anyone that would want to steal my artwork when there's so much better out there but hey, safety first! Anyhow, I did the Wolvie and Ang with Prisma tonals, but the Warrior dude I did with Copic tonals which I like using better. I also used white charcoal for the highlights. I tried to make these ones rather quick. 15-20 minutes a piece give or take. I'll be dumping some more soon from my sketchbook. I have jury duty (blah) like this whole month so I have A LOT of time to sketch. Things are great. And how about them Lakers huh?!?!? =D Woohoo! Just came off of beating Boston for the second time and today we beat the Cavaliers for the second time, snapping their at home winning streak for the season! Both without Bynum (hope he gets well VERY soon) and the latter without a 100% Kobe (get well soon Mamba)! It is GOOD to be a Laker fan. Til' here, Peace.

Thoughts and Rorschach

Hello, again. So before I launch into explaining this piece I would like to shed some light on what I've been up to and what's been happening lately.

I recently graduated college. Woohoo! It felt that way for about the first two weeks then I began to find myself being extremely bored very often regardless of all the art I was producing. At one point, I wanted to make a phone call using the house phone, so I walked around my house for about thirty minutes to discover that we didn't have a house phone anymore! Makes sense though, who needs one with all these cell-phones nowadays? Then after many profound things going on in my brain, I started to doubt my value as an artist.

BUT! Good news. There are things in the works and they are beginning to look up. I'll be posting up soon, hopefully, on how things turn out. But for now, on to the post!

Very cool character from Watchmen. Reading it again lately. Trying to refresh memory for the movie soon to be released. Lying in sketchbook for a while. Thought it time to post. Materials used: HB Graphite Pencil, Tombow Brush Pen, Prisma Color Markers, White Charcoal. Must take note of charcoal smearing if left in sketchbook for too long.

Peace (haha)

Character Poses

Here's another page from my flatbook. I know I haven't posted in a while, so it's the least I can do. This is a character I'm going to model, texture, rig and animate. Bring it all the way through. I'm still in the process of modeling it, but I'll post up WIP very soon. Til' here! GO LAKERS!!!

Several Phases of Funny Faces

Hey there! It's finally vacation. Good quarter all around. I'm very pleased with how my work turned out for this past quarter. There are certain things that I wish could've done more with but hey, you can't have it all. Anyhow, here's a page from my one of my sketchbooks. Cheers!

Quick Brush Pen Sketches

Here are a few brush pen quick sketches that I've done. These are just select few that I kind of take a liking to. I want to go back over them with watercolor keeping the palette monochromatic. I'll post that up as soon as it's done. Til' here!
