2011-05-09T01:06:00.000-07:00

pencil commission of selena bottled by doctor facilier, colored in photoshop cs

Hit-Girl commission

2011-03-26T04:34:00.001-07:00

I posted 2 versions of this piece because I like them both. I rarely get asked to redo a commission after the final stage of color and I thought I had it right when I sent the golden blonde version. the client preferred a more copper tone to her hair though, which I think looks pretty good too...

Selena In SludgeBucket commission

2011-03-25T04:18:00.000-07:00

this is my "realistic" take of the sludgebucket character from "the real ghostbusters" cartoon series.

Gypsy Girl commission

2011-03-24T00:38:00.001-07:00

I enjoyed doing this piece. it was fun to do the over-sized fabric of her dress and to do a turban-wearing lady for the first time. one of the reasons I like drawing girls with long hair is that I can practice creating the illusion of motion in static poses by drawing flowing hair. in this piece I had to practice that effect with the long cloth.

Tigra commission (colored)

2011-03-07T17:15:00.001-08:00

Hippolyta

2011-02-23T22:12:00.001-08:00

since I enjoyed drawing the princess diana commission, decided to do another "amazon" warrior sketch - her mother, queen hippolyta. guess all the hype about a new wonder woman tv series rubbed off on me. I think I'll try to make her look more like Lynda Carter when I do a colored version of this piece.

Princess Diana commission (colored)

2011-02-14T21:14:00.000-08:00

I couldn't decide how to color the background but wanted to suggest majesty and radiance, to give the impression that she is a goddess...

Scarlet Witch colored

2010-12-06T01:29:00.001-08:00

My friend Jose, liked my sketch of this character when he saw it posted here and paid me to color the drawing for him. I really need to learn more about coloring blank backgrounds though...

Maricar

2010-10-06T00:18:00.000-07:00

just another practice at the portrait style i've been developing

Selene

2010-10-06T00:11:00.000-07:00

The Scarecrow

2010-10-05T05:29:00.000-07:00

after drawing the scarlet witch, i decided to sketch another "halloween - themed" character, this time from batman's rogues gallery...

Scarlet Witch

2010-10-05T05:23:00.000-07:00

here's another filler for my sketchbook. there's a lot of blank pages still because doing key animations take so much time and i haven't had this much downtime in a while

Poison Ivy Sketch

2010-10-03T02:46:00.000-07:00

i'm trying to practice doing backgrounds - something i don't get to do much in animation - here, on a poison ivy sketch which i might color soon

Hulk

2010-10-03T02:31:00.001-07:00

another sketchpad filler, this is one of my favorite Marvel comics characters but this is the first time I tried drawing him, I think...

Stitches

2010-09-24T06:50:00.000-07:00

concept art of a clown/dr.frankenstein's monster for an animation project. clowns scare me, so this one had to be put on paper a.s.a.p. to stop giving me nightmares...lol

2010-09-20T00:47:00.001-07:00

Vampirella

2010-08-04T02:39:00.000-07:00

3D Experiment

2010-01-17T08:48:00.000-08:00

this is what the movie "Avatar" inspired me to do - experiment on turning Joe Madureira's Darksiders drawing into an anaglyphic image using photoshop. try putting on a pair of red and blue 3D glasses to see if it works. i'll try it out on one of my own drawings next.

Dirty Pair colored

2009-12-28T07:24:00.000-08:00

The Celestial cover # 3

2009-11-18T05:01:00.000-08:00

today, i got started with the new chapter of the webcomic, The Celestial with this cover. i have drafted at least six pages of the comics weeks ago but had to postpone inking because of other projects. having done away with those, i doodled this piece when i woke up this morning and went on with the inks.

Alodia

2009-11-17T07:54:00.000-08:00

after laboring through weeks of deadlines I finally had time to take a breather and finish the pencil work on this portrait I started a month ago. I really like how it looks so much that I want to color it - but that'll have to wait till I catch up on the pages of "The Celestial."

Busters edits

2009-11-17T07:34:00.000-08:00

These are the way the Busters pencils look after edits and revisions on the script.

*As of November 21, 2009 no new revisions have been asked by client Atlantis Studios for this project but they still haven't honored the provision on the contract they supplied me through James Watson that states pay would be sent immediately after final revisions. No payment has been sent as of this writing, December 1, 2009 and no further communication has been received from Atlantis Studios and/or James Watson since November 22, 2009.

*here's proof that James Watson scams artists through his company, Atlantis Studios

Busters # 1

2009-11-12T22:31:00.000-08:00

These are some of the pages of my latest pencil work. been working my butt off for this the whole week, haven't done much shading in my drawings in a while since "Isis".

The Celestial # 2 updates

2009-10-13T07:06:00.000-07:00

these are the latest pages for the webcomic "The Celestial"

Akiho Yoshizawa unfinished

2009-10-11T02:56:00.000-07:00

still practicing doing portraits, and undecided how to go about this one.

Maria Ozawa portrait

2009-10-04T08:10:00.000-07:00

tried capturing her likeness in the pencil line technique that i've been practicing lately to carve a distinct look to my portraits but didn't quite manage getting her right so i added in gray tones to make the drawing better but i think it's still a little off. oh well, more practice then...

Leah Dizon

2009-10-02T03:24:00.000-07:00

this is my most recent attempt to draw a portrait of the most beautiful face i've ever seen.

Silver Claw

2009-10-01T03:35:00.000-07:00

bought a new sketchpad today and started doodling, this is one of my favorites from the stuff I finished today.

Batman sketch

2009-09-15T03:38:00.000-07:00

I've been reading the new Batman and Robin series (where Batman is now Dick Grayson, formerly Nightwing or otherwise known as the original Robin) and just started doing up my take on the costume used by Frank Quitely. Made the pose look more like Nightwing's and made him appear younger than the Bruce Wayne version.

FMA Fan Art Finished (finally...)

2009-09-09T23:54:00.000-07:00

was warming up today with a Batman sketch but couldn't get it going so I tried working on finishing the colors on this old piece.

New Isis cover, finished

2009-08-18T03:15:00.000-07:00

hope this one actually gets published. the last ones i did were replaced with ones that i'm not too happy about.

2009-08-07T03:26:00.000-07:00

This page ends the first chapter of NewHaven Comics' "The Celestial". I think it's a nice touch that creator/writer Tim Albaugh had me do this as a splash. Thanks to everyone who read this! Chapter 2 is coming out next week.

2009-07-01T22:13:00.000-07:00

I'm guilty of not having done this in a while because of the paid commissions that have been coming my way latelywhich I'm giving more priority to. I have no day job now, and a guy's got to eat, too.

Vigilance cover 1

2009-06-03T21:07:00.000-07:00

this isn't my first pin-up of the amazon princess but she is one of my favorites and i'm still hoping i'd get to do an official comicbook of her one of these days (or an official anime). i tried to make her look like my favorite jpop singer, leah dizon but i couldn't quite manage it.

Spidey vs. Venom

2007-11-26T04:07:00.000-08:00

this is the very first pic of venom i've ever done. since i started working for toei animation, i haven't done a lot of drawings in my old, US comics style. i did this piece over the weekend to get reacquainted with the way i used to draw. i'm obviously a bit rusty at it and i hope this would look better after i color it.

Kitty

i finally had time to draw the background on this old drawing, and i did it entirely on photoshop 'cause i wanted to get it over with real quick and didn't want to go through it by manually drawing and scanning then coloring. i'm working on a number of other cheesecake drawings so expect to see more of this soon

my friend regie did this drawing in pencil. this is one of his designs for the book, "elven curriculum". i saw this drawing lying around the studio a few days ago, and decided to splash some color to it. i wanted to go for the "desktop art" look, because i had a female friend in mind while i was doing this.

Cheesecake

2007-05-24T06:19:00.001-07:00

this is my attempt at softcore or cheesecake art.
i was browsing through some artwork by satoshi urushihara and koh kawarajima the other day and started doodling. i'm still in the process of working on the background, though, and just couldn't wait to see my drawing in color.
