New Works and some Random Thoughts

Wow, it has been a while. Today was an odd day. I was going about my day viewing the various sites that I visit when I noticed that a fellow artist, Dayara, who goes by Jag1 on DevArt was leaving the community. This truly saddened me. He is a super creative and talented artist. He stated that he wasn't being satisfied as an artist, and the site was no longer helping him. I thought, BUMMER!! I understand his need to grow as an artist and an individual, so I respect his decision. He will be missed, but it is not permanently good bye. He does have a Blog. It is Intraterra.blogspot.com . Check it out. You wouldn't be disappointed.

On a different note, I use DevArt and I am currently happy with where it is taking me. However, in contrast, I noticed that no one is really following me here. That is why I have decided to use this as more of a Private-Public Journal. I will throw down art and random thoughts on a whim. Express emotions and events. It will kind of be like Twitter without the feedback. I think it will be good, If only for me. Anyway, on that thought I think I will leave with my lastest work.

Rubi from W.E.T.> My brother was actually who recommended I draw this character. This is for you, love ya bro! :D

The Fashion Consultant

"I may not know art, but I know what I like." - crooked cop from Hudson Hawk.

I am pretty busy with my current project, but I had to pump this out. We have all seen them. The clueless fashion consultants. I saw one the other day and wanted to share.



Thanks for Looking. :)

New Avatar

I wanted to try a new avatar, but it turns out it was too big, so I did a close-up for now. However, I kind of liked the way this turned out, so I thought I would put it up.



Thanks for looking. :)

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.
