Sketching around

Just some quick Nicolai Fechin studies (using a model from my favorite clothing site, who was modelling winter beanies, but trying to stick close to the Fechin style). Also a fun figure drawing, ink, color, and text study. The Cropped image makes a pretty cool (albeit strange) desktop image.... i mean... if anyone were to be into that sort of thing... either way, hope you enjoy!

under a rock

crawling out from under my rock to post these. Some recreational, Some study.

Super Late Night Sketches

woke up at 3:23 and couldnt sleep, so i figured id do a few 15-20 min sketches. didnt realize how long its been since i just did something loose and fun without rendering... for some sort of fear of being unaccepted or something, lol.

Comic 80% done...

i mean, its 3 of 5 pages. i guess thats 80%? or maybe like 70.5345% repeating decimal number? Anyway, its been a fun experience so far. Definitely something i want to do again in the future, and build my experience!

A few Baddies

Last weekend i decided to bury myself under some paper and some pencils, as opposed to my usual wacom tablet and pen, and digital ink. It was great getting back to my roots in pencil! hope you enjoy!

Blowpop....

Yes Yes, im aware that she looks like Nicki Minaj O_O thats cuz she IS niki minaj....with a gun... in my story. Im having fun doing the comic! but id be lying if i said that i dont miss getting in there and flat out concepting something! ahhh. so, this character Blowpop, is one of the 5 girls in my story, the "Brains" of the operation, she specializes in long range weaponry, has her favorite sniper rifle which she's given the name "The Facepoppa." lol. anyway. enjoy!

Some Old White Wolf stuff

hadnt ever gotten around to posting these, from last year, white wolf's "The Book of the Dead," a black and white Paperback Tabletop RPG. anyway, the images were fun, but ive learned a lot since then! But i remember learning a lot while doing them as well.....so alls well that ends well, right?

Comics Comics Comics

as my comic project is drawing closer to an end, im happy to upload a few pics i took this morning of my space, while offering a VERY sneak peak at just what it is im drawing... Things are pretty tumultuous right now, figuring things out, making stupid mistakes, learning from them quickly... i guess what it boils down to is the sheer determination to actually do it right. Doing something new feels awkward, especially when you put yourself out there... all you can do is hope that your efforts are received well. You cant win 'em all, right? Right. But you can damned sure try. *toasts to the double entendre.*

bye bye San Francisco, again

Spent the weekend visiting old friends in San Francisco, and had some time to take in the sights, and the crazy fog... i wish i could have stayed longer, but it was good to see my old home again... ill definitely have to go back and collect some more memories! i didnt even get to go to the museum ! what was i thinking! next time sf, next time....

Black and white studies

Got some new inks and brushes, via advice from Francis Vallejo , and hopped right in to practice some inking techniques. all i can say is... its a LOT tougher than it looks! Converting it to pure black and white may have gone smoother if i hadnt started them on yellow paper to begin with. LOL!

But man, controlling that linework is a tough, tough situation! ( i really dont think i got it right...)

Multicolr Search Lab - Idée Inc.

Multicolr Search Lab - Idée Inc.

ok so totally awesome. I bumped into this on a friend's website, but felt the need to repost it! its currently blowing my mind, by being able to pick colors from the right side, and come up with a ton of examples of whichever color scheme that ive chosen... woah. give it a try!

Experimenting with my comic process

So i went to the store today, only to realize that im dead broke after buying my ticket to San Francisco... meaning i couldnt buy paints to do my streetfighter piece, and i refuse to paint it digitally!! So what to do..what to do... I spent the day instead, trying my hand at a quiiiick little comic, in hopes of figuring out some questions to ask my comic book illustrating friends. Afterall, you cant ask the teacher questions if you havent done the homework, right? All in all, i think my dialogue is a bit too wordy, and my lines arent clean enough, but in my defense, i did this on very small paper, and not comic size paper :) Just a sketch , but i hope you enjoy it as much as i enjoyed doing it!
