Batmang and his BFF's

I am totally getting into my Cintiq. I've noticed it takes 3x's as long to work on a piece, but I gotta learn sooner or later how to become more efficient, right?

For my artwork lately I've been slipping into only roughs mode. It feels so refreshing to go that route, but man I needed to snap out of it and find a balance. I was fiending to do a polished piece. HAHAHAHA

I haven't drawn many villains EVER, so I decided to do it up with Batman's BFF's and see where it goes from there. If you can't guess their names, then here's a rollcall: Killa Crizock, Clayfizace, and Batamang.

Anywho, this piece was done 100% on my Cintiq from roughs to finishes.

Hope y'all digs!

Wolvie-poo WIP

A buddy of mine sent me a link to a Wolverine 3D sculpt based off of a drawing I had done awhile back. Kevin totally hooked this lil pipsqueak up. HAHAHA I was very impressed how great of a job this dude did. I was laughing my arse off when I saw the base! HAHAHAHA

Kevin says it's still a WIP, so I'll update this image once he sends it to me.

Props to Kevin. You should check him out.

Here are a couple of links.

Bedrock Neighbors

Blast from the past fo' sho... I've NEVER drawn The Flintstones. Always loved them, but I didn't dare or even fathom the thought of tampering with them in fear that I'd look like a hack of a poor watered down version of them. After sitting Fear down, I had to look em' right in the grill. I tolds that lil rascalicious, "Fear, you need to let me have some fun, aight? Now, begone, bonehead!" HAHAHAHA

Anyway...I just couldn't resist the fun shapes!

My perspective may be off since it's a rough, but when I go to colors, I'll polish the technical aspect.

If you can get past that, then I hope ya digs!

HAHAHAHAHAHA


Make Mine A Double-Double

My pal Matteo Scalera asked me if I wanted to do a pin-up for his pals Alessandro Micelli and Gianmac's creator owned project, Tales of Avalon. The concept and the designs are wicked-cool, so I couldn't resist.

This'll be a double page splash pin-up.
I have been really diggin my Cintiq, and drawing more digital lately. This piece so far was done 100% on the Cintiq



Hope y'all digs!

Shellhead

Heya, gangaliciousnesses-

Hope ya had a nice relaxing Labor Day weekend!

Here's a 3d sculpt that my pal Luis Gomez-Guzman hooked up.

He hit me up with an email out of the blue to show me he had begun the sculpt of the Ironman illustration I had posted some time back. I was wowed by what I saw. Luis asked me to make notes, so he can get it closer to how I drew, and he also asked me to design the back for him to model from, so the top right pic is me drawing over his screen cap.



I tracked down some of Luis' links to share with ya. He's such an amazing artist.

One of my favorites from him is his Award Winning Animation Short-Film "Garto"


Here's Luis' blog
Please give him props when you get a moment!

Hope ya digs!
