RandomSketches (CAT)

Yep, I'm here again! After a break, and going to the wedding of a friend, and then the funeral for another friend. I was in a funk, and I was struggling to draw. But I think I have found my grove again! Yippee!!

Let the Good Times Roll

Peter Pan (Following the Leader)

Peter Pan was a childhood favorite of mine. When I was a child, Disney classics would return to theaters ever so often; before VHS and DVD were popular, and I saw Peter Pan seven times in theaters ( and drove my family crazy). Good times.

Anyway, the background is a watercolor painting and the characters were done in photoshop. The pencil tonal sketch was the basis for the painting.

XMen (early ruffs)

The XMen were a childhood favorite of mine. Right now I'm trying to get a feel for the characters. The fun part is pushing and pulling the characters to see where I can go; finding what I do and don't like.

These are early ruffs of my favorite characters; Wolvie, Nightcrawler, Beast, Colossus, and Cyclops for the guys. Storm, Marvel Girl, Shadow Cat, Rogue, and Jubilee for the girls.

ToraSora Gallery (finale)

Well my first gallery show is now over, and I had a really good time. I would like to thank everyone; from my family, friends, and school mates for all of the support. You guys boosted my spirits. I would also like to thank all the people that rolled thru the show. I had a blast, and learned so much from the experience. So to all of you, Thank You!!

What can I say (Ninja Girls Rock)

I grew up in awe of the Capcom artists. So I was once again looking at the Capcom DesignWorks book, and the Street Fighter Artbook, and started sketching and this was the result. Ibuki was one of my favorites to play in Street Fighter 3rd Strike (Ken is still my all time favorite). I tip my hat to all the artist at Capcom, and to the people I have lost to at Street Fighter haha.

Blog Anniversary Year 1

Happy Anniversary Blog! Wow, the blog turns a year old. How quickly the years turn as I get older. I originally started the blog after going to San Diego Comic Con 06, and after going to SD Comic Con 07 my commitment to art is renewed. So many talented artists.

So todays art was an experiment. I wanted to try something like an animated cel. The background was a little piece done in watercolor; while the figures were done in photoshop.

The Iliad

I have trouble reading books, because I either fall asleep or start drawing. This time is The Iliad which still remains unfinished, but I had to get some drawings of the cast. From left to right are: Ajax, Menelaus, Agamemnon, Achilles, and Odysseus. One day I should finish the book, but I have some Harry Potter to read before the last book comes out.

Of other interests, I think I'm going to slow down on all the character line-ups. I would like to focus more on color, which is my "Achilles heel" of sorts. So I think I am going to see how much I can improve in a year, as I come up on my one year anniversary of the blog. I will still be drawing and inking, to be sure, but just a slight shift in focus.

Myth and the Black Dog (WIFN)

Dog... Wolf, whatever. There are tales of when walking alone at night, a monstrous, gigantic black dog will walk along side you breathing an icy cold breath.

Pirates of the Caribbean

Nope, I have not seen the third Pirates Movie. But, The Curse of the Black Pearl is a delight, and I got inspired while watching the movie. I think an animated Pirates of the Caribbean would be cool. As artists go I think Pierre Alary would be my top choice as lead Character Designer. Alary's has the period costumes down and his style is beautiful; I'm a big fan of his. So I studied his Belladone and gave the Pirates Characters a shot.

I want to Fly

I'm free as a bird. My internship at Nickelodeon on Avatar: the last Airbender ended on this past Friday. It was wonderful helping out on a show that I love. The 3rd season is beautiful; can't wait to see it on the air. Then I graduated from California State University Fullerton yesterday. It was one of the best days of my life!! I must say I feel very fortunate and full of beaming joy.

Spirit of Youthful Adventure

An ode to my youth. The Legend of Zelda is one of my favorite games of all time (and I don't think I have finished any one game). I love running with Link thru the land of Hyrule; finding the Tri-force, gaining the Master sword, and defeating evil. Oh yeah, and there that girl named Zelda who could use some help. So in the spirit of youthful adventure...

Here is something I'm working on that has got me excited. On the bottom are some sketch action poses.

Moonlit Walk

The Beach

Duel of like, Love

The post for today is a blend of some of the things I love, Manga and Japanese woodblock prints. I am a big fan of "The Duel at Horyukaku" by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi; and Masashi Kishimoto's manga series Naruto. Yoshitoshi's colors and compositions are amazing. I'm still looking for an art book on this master of japanese print. While, Kishimoto's manga series Naruto is one of the best in story and characters. So this idea of the blend had been on my mind for years so finally I go to it, and it was a blast.

Amazonians Part 3 (Graces)

Amazonians Round 3!! KnockOut! Well, these are the last sketches of Amazonians. I still have some tinkering and the final lines to put down; then I want to get them all colored. But the hardest part of research and pages of sketches is over. Whew, haha I think I want to draw something other than women for abit. Purhaps, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round next. Hmmm....
