SF: Blanka

I have been seeing so many Street Fighter pieces floating around that I got inspired to do my own. I chose Blanka because he was one of my favorites growing up!

I am not a huge gamer, but I feel the Gaming World really took off after this game came out. It changed everything.



Anyway, I thank you for looking. :)

BombFace

This is BombFace. At least, I think?! Monk-Art says that is it until he comes up with a cooler name. Although, I think BombFace is just fine. Anyway, Monk-Art (Fabian Schlaga) (Click for visual awesomeness: [link] ) is an insanely talented digital artist that I came arcoss while floating through the wonderful galleries here on DevArt. This is his character. I thought he was a cool, so I thought I would take a stab at him. It was tons of fun.




Thanks for Looking.

Wolverine

I really wanted to try something new for this one. I wanted to give it a grittier look. Well, as gritty as it gets for my style. Anyway, I had a lot of fun doing this one.

I really must thank the wonderfully talented and kind, John Rauch (EraserX) [link] . He is the man! Not only has he done an amazing coloring tutorial series, but he has also put out an awesome set of brushes. Thanks John.



Thanks for Looking. :)

X-Men

Got to love old school Xmen.

This started out as a doodle and turned into something more. I try and warmup and doodle on a piece of 8.5x11 computer paper. Therefore, it is a smaller piece of paper than I am used to drawing on, so it is lacking some of the detail I would put into a larger piece. However, I liked where it was going so I finished it.





Thanks for Looking. :)

Christmas 2008

Here is the second card I am doing for the Holiday Card 2008 project. I hope this brings a smile to the kids.I know it is still a little early, but Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas everone!

Original:

Santa was a bit menacing, so I lightened him up a little, and added some shadows to distance the boy from Santa, and Santa from the chair. Also, the background looked like something out of Silent Hill Christmas. I totally like this one better. I hope you do too.

Revision:

Thanks for Looking!

DeviantArt Christmas

As soon as I heard about the Holiday Cards 2008 DevArt is doing for hospitalized kids, I knew I wanted to be part of it. Here is one of the two cards I will be doing. I may play with it a little more, but for the most part, it is done.I saved the notice on my devgallery if anyone else wants to participate.



Thanks for Looking.

Temple

I really like working with Eric and everyone at VineYard Press. [link] They a great group of people.Here is another pinup I did for them. The characters name is Temple. He has an interesting story behind his origin. Plus, you got to love those beast type villians.




Anyway, thanks for looking.

Jedi Master

My brother stopped by the other day and saw the picture of Asaaj and said I should draw more Jedi stuff. I totally agreed, so I drew our favorite Jedi, Master Yoda.

Yoda Rules!!



Thanks for Looking.

StarFish Bouquet

As of late, this been my daughter's favorite everything. Movie, Bed sheets, doll to play with, everything. I guess she was throwing me some subliminal messages to draw a picture of Ariel, so here it is.



Thanks for Looking.

Thank You

I am probably the least deserving of all, and yet he still made the sacrifice. Thank you Jesus.
I hadn't drawn the "first" Superhero in a while. I was doing some heavy thinking about him , and got inspired.

First draft:

Resivion after some great input:

Thanks for looking. :)

PencilJack Attack

This is just for fun. I wanted to practice a little more on Photoshop, so I thought I would have some fun with the Penciljack logo.



Thanks for Looking. :)

You Talkin' to Me, Bub?

Besides Cyclops, this has got to be my favorite X-man. The king of Bad@$$. Rough and tough, but still a ladies man. I have been wanting to draw him for a while and I finally got the chance.

Pencils:

Inks:

Thanks for Looking.

Flying Pumpkins

This is just me trying to challenge myself with wacked out funky positions. I hadn't drawn Spidey in a while, so why not use the king of twisted positions for practice.



Thanks for Looking.

Chapulin Colorado

My grandfather loved this guy. We would watch this show all the time growing up. His name is Chapulin Colorado. He was a funny goofy un-superhero on Univision. Anyway, I thought of him the other day and thought he would be fun to draw.



Thanks for Looking! :)

UnEventful Day

Uneventful indeed. I was just a tooooouuuuch Bored today. Inbetween projects, and I couldn't really get anything started, so I drew someone just as bored as me. :)



Thanks for Looking.

Superman

Just had to color this one. I had a little time on my hands, so I decided to color this one. Love Superman. Have I mentioned that before? (heh) :D

I was not a 100% convinced on the background I used up top. I thought I would try something different for fun. If this works or not, I am done with this one. I have spent wwaaay too much time on it. On to the next one.

Thanks for Looking. :)

Happy Halloween '08

My friend Chris aka. FatBoy73 (fatboy73.deviantart.com) contacted me the other day with and itch to do something Halloween. He had a great idea a about role reversal. He wanted pumpkin people, and human Jack 'o Lanterns. I thought it was a great and funny idea, so I came up with this. Happy Halloween. :)



Thanks for Looking. I should have a link to his amazing colors soon.

Dude, Just give Up!

Superman is my favorite hero of all time. Period! It was only a matter of time before I drew him again.

SUPERMAN is the MAN... it's in the name! :)

inks:

After some great advise, I changed a couple of things.

Edited version:

Thanks for Looking! :)

Betty Boop (colored)

Finally! I did this for my Betty Boop freak of a Mom a while back, and I finally got to throw some color on it. I may play with it a touch more before I give it to her, but for the most part it's done. I hope she likes it.



Thanks for looking.

Don't mess with the Frog!

Ever notice how Kermit always tries to stay calm no matter the circumstance. Now you know why. Don't make him angry, you wouldn't like him when he's angry.



Thanks for Looking.

DareDevil-SteamPunKed

Bakanekonei (Nei) at DeviantArt was holding a contest ( I just love her work.) The idea was to take a character and give it a steampunked look. I chose DareDevil. It was loads of fun. I always love try to give characters a different twist. Anyway, Here is what I came up with.

Entry:

Here is a little closer look at the design.

Thanks for Looking. :)

Jose 5Yr old Zombie Fighter

This is a promo piece I did recently for Vineyard Press Comics: [link]

It is about Jose, a 5 yr old boy trust unexpectedly thrusted into his destiny. Great concept and cute story. It is already out by Vineyard. Check the link to order or for more info.



Thanks for Looking. :)

SuperFly

I don't know how because I have never even seen it, but I started thinking about an old, old flick called "SuperFly". Maybe it was a song or something that did it? Anyway, I thought it would be funny having a Super-"Fly", so I did this for fun. It was great just drawing to draw. Haven't done that in a while.

The amazing rescue. Yeah! SuperFly! (heh) Just having more fun with the Superfly idea.

Alright, I guess I should get back to real work. Thanks for Looking.

MiSTiCO

I had some free time on my hands, so I started scanning through the galleries of some Awesome artist on Deviantart. I stumbled across Grostieta. Sweet works, amazing colorist. [link]

He colors a comic Mistico. I thought it was cool, so I sketched out a quick pic. Turns out he is real. Go figure, some sort of wrestler. Anyway..



Thanks for Looking. :)

Invincible

I picked up a TB of Invincible the other day. Man, what a great book. It is slow becoming one of my favorites. It has a great story, great art, and is just plain fun. I am lovin' it so much, I got motived and drew this.


Thanks fo Looking. :)

Asajj Ventress

I did this picture for my friend Chris. He is a gifted colorist. He goes by Fatboy73. Look: [link]

Anyway, he wrote me the other day and asked if I could draw him up a Asajj Ventress. I was more than happy to do it. First, he is a great guy, and second, he has been doing an awesome job on my art. It was the first time I had even heard of the character, much less drawn her, so I hope I did her some justice. I hope to have a link to the colored version soon.

G.U.N.S. (preview)

Finally! I get to post some storyboard work. Lately, I have been busy working on a project for VineYard Press called G.U.N.S. by Bruce Brown. It is a great story with even better characters. I did an 8 page story arc for the book. It was tons of fun. This is page 4. The character is Rio, and she is not happy. If you want to see more, the book should be out soon.

I am including the inks just because I love them. They were done by the insanely talented Keith Barnett (aka K.A.Bodle). Dang he is good!

Flash2

It's my Birthday. I am with the family visiting my uncle in North Carolina. It is so beautiful here. I had a little free time in between activities, so I thought I would get some more practice in with Photoshop. I did this one up, and my uncle liked enough that he wanted it for his desktop. It was a lot of fun.



Thanks for Looking. :)

CAP n THOR

Captain America and Thor. These two have got to be my favorite Avengers of all time. I haven't drawn either one in a while, but I was reading Capt. America, and I got an itch. It seems to me as cool as "Bucky" is, he is not the Captain. I had to bring Steve back if only in this drawing.



Thanks for Looking.

Something Quick

Something quick ...get it? Flash . Someth...hee ...hmm..umm yeah, OK.

I took a small break from my project and turned on the Olympics. Those athletes are amazing. I do not know why, but the Flash popped into my head. I guess seeing the sprinters did it, I don't know. Anyway, I decided to draw him...really quick. (Sorry, I couldn't help myself. )



Thanks for Looking. :)

Betty Boop

This is kind of sappy, but I drew this for my mom. She is a huge Betty Boop fan. She has everything Boop. I am talking cups, pajamas, plates, purses, etc. I thought I would surprise her with a Betty pic., so I drew one. I have been so busy that I haven't gotten to color it yet, but I thought I would throw the lines up anyway. Maybe after my current project I will get an opening to finish. Anyway, Thanks for Looking. :)

HULK

Another Freakin' Awesome Movie that I just loved. The latest Hulk movie was so well done. It was actually a story instead of a sorry retelling of the Hulk's origin. The special effects were insane. It totally beat out that old green eraser one they did a few years back. Anyway, I thought I would draw my mandatory "that movie was awesome, and I got inspired" picture of the Hulk.

Pencils:

Cosmic Purple Colors:

Fire-y Colors:

Thanks for Looking :)

Incredibles

I absolutely stinking love this movie. It is one of the best they have ever put out in my opinion. My daughter was watching it the other day, and I got inspired.



Thanks for Looking. :)

Cyclops

I have always liked this character. The old school Cyclops though. I don't know why, I just do. My brother thinks he's a geek. Anyway, I hadn't drawn him in a while, so I decided to do a quick pic before my next project.



Thanks for Looking. :)

Joker Face

I try to get more acquainted with photoshop when ever I can, and lastnight was a great opportunity, so I took advantage of the time. I wanted to experiment with a couple of different techniques and brushes. It was a lot of fun. This time, the guinea pig was the Joker.

Thanks for Looking. :)

Martian ManHunter Redesign

I did this for a challenge over @ Penciljack.com. Apparently, some of the members thought Martian ManHunter needed a new look. Whether he does or not, I thought it would be fun. Anyway, This is what I came up with.



Thanks for Looking. :)

G.U.N.S.

This is a commissioned pin-up for the comic G.U.N.S. from VineYard Press. It will be coming out soon. You can read more about it @ vineyardpresscomics.com. The site should be up and running in June.

This is the inked version. It was inked by the amazingly talented Keith Barnett.
