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)

Batgirl

Here's another character from the Batman universe, Cassandra Cain. Also known as the new Batgirl. This was done for one of my friend's girlfriend. She dug the Catwoman I did and requested for Batgirl. I used the same materials as I did on the other ones. This one was pretty fun to do as well. I wasn't too familiar with the character so I had to do some research. Plenty fun. I want to do Solomon Grundy next. If I have time I will. Til' here. Peace

Catwoman

Hey again, I thought I would add another character from the Batman universe. There is a rumor floating around that she may make an appearance in the next movie? Played by Angelina Jolie? Hmm...interesting. I don't know if I agree with that, but I think I can trust the Nolan brothers to make the right decision as they have been doing. Anyhow, plenty fun this one. I used the same materials I used for the Joker. Hope you guys dig it. Peace!

PS
USA! USA!

Why So Serious?

Here it is, folks! The tribute that I said I would do for Heath Ledger. RIP Heath, fantastic job as the Joker. If you haven't seen the Dark Knight yet, SEE IT. This piece was especially fun to do for a number of reasons. One, because of all the mixed media that I got to use: HB Pencil, Blue Col-Erase, Red Col-Erase, Green Col-Erase, White Charcoal, and Copic Ink. Two, because it reminds me of the Joker in the new film and how awesome it is! Bottom line, Dark Knight, see it. Peace.

Dr. Jones

Vacation at last. -sigh- But! There is still work to be done. This is a man that can relate. Dr. Jones! I've wanted to do this exact shot from Raiders of the Lost Arc for a long while. Finally got around to doing it. Digi-sketch (rough to cleanup) 12 min., Color 15 min. Not too bad on time, hope to get better though. Til' next time! Cheers!

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!!!

Life Drawing

Hey, all. I haven't posted in a while, I know. I've been pretty busy. I'll try and post more often, but in the mean time, here's some life drawing that I did a while back. Enjoy! Go Lakers!
