Groan

Here is something that Ive been working on. I never have inked a character using a wacom pen. I really dont like that I dont have the control I have with a actual brush pen. Im getting the hang of it. I need some mileage to get this down right.  

Quicky

Here is a quicky, been real busy but gotta stay on my grind!

The drawing was a blast to do. See how simple I went with the details.

Character study

Here is a new character Im working on. This is the main character, funny stories are on their way!

Oh Snaps, on top of Snaps!

I thought creating a 2D character was amazing, then I thought 3D was another level, but seeing it animated is the Oh Snaps moment! The animation is not perfect but either way its pretty cool. 

I am no rigger, thank God that there are companies that are dedicating their business to rigging. Thanks Yang, you are the man for keeping me up on game!

Another fun piece! Salud...

Ghosts' n Goblins

It feels like its been a long time since I posted new artwork, yeah I know its only been a week ha ha. Here is a new piece that I finished during this labor day weekend. I wanted to create a fun character with some edge. In my last post I created this knight and right away I thought I had to model this guy.

• 2.5 hours to model
• 2.5 hours to UV map it
• 2 hours in photoshop

 A great teacher once told me that our aesthetics comes from the things we loved as kids, it makes perfect sense and I think its true. Take Martin Scorsese as an example he loved gangster films as a kid,  Jhonny Knoxville loved Buster Keaton films. When I created this character I just thought to my self I want to make a interesting looking Knight. The more I got into it, I kept telling myself this Knight reminds me of someone Ive seen before.... (continued conversation at the bottom of this post)

And it hit me! My character reminds me of Ghosts' N Goblins Knight! I swear I didn't do this intentionally but look at it! Its pretty close. I freaking loved this game I couldn't get past the 4th level but still I loved that game! I can hear that song playing in my head now. 

Follow that dream guys, following the dream is like being with a hot chick way out of your league. You spend all your time wondering how you got it, instead of saying that you got it.

Knight in Battle

Here is a new piece I just finished. Im a little upset about the time it took to get this done. This one took about 7 hours to do. It should have took 4 hours, the gravel and the cloud smoke took some time to make. Im happy with the result though...It might be a little too dark, I will adjust it once I have a fresh eye.  Im making a 3D model of this guy, I will post it soon! Salud!

I decided to revise this illustration. The top illustration is the latest version. I decided to break up the horizontal line, it just felt too harsh for me. I think that breaking the line really makes this illustration easier on the eye. Also I put more atmosphere in the background. I feel that the background would feel more natural if it wasn't so saturated. The last thing I did was add some noise to the illustration, its not really too noticeable but its the small things that makes a illustration pop.
