Up late with an idea

Its All Digital 6.0

2011-12-15T00:25:00.000-05:00

I had that itch that i get some time to draw character that I had never drawn before so I choose the characters for Jason Pearson's Body Bags.

I am not going to get into his situation, but I will say that I have the highest respect for this man what he has done in the industry and this is just a small homage to his great skill and design. I hope I can do his creations justice.

I may take this further,

As always , I will be back for more.

Decisions, Decisions

2011-12-13T10:31:00.003-05:00

So I finally finished drawing the first issue of my project, but now I am faced with the dilemma of whether to start inking, coloring etc etc or continue to draw the next issue/ chapter and make it a OGN.

This is one of those decision in which it is basically a win/ win for me. With my new processes and adopted ( Thank you Khary Randolph) and the coloring technique I really want to use (Thank the Joe Vriens and Jogeetv) I am finding it easier pipeline to working on project. However, Seeing the pages develop and a nice stack sitting on my lightbox. I have had a serious urge to continue the working on more pages and just do them all at once.

This is a really, really tough decision of I have to make. lol

2011-12-04T01:51:00.001-05:00

No time like the present, Here is my the reason I have not been posting much lately, This is my first creator owned project. HopeFully I will be able to share more info about this comic in the future.

ArtRage Fun 21

2010-03-28T18:36:00.000-04:00

Back with another update. This time is the lovely harley quinn. I don't know why but I have been chomping at the bit to draw here for some reason. It maybe because i saw the lovely Arie Monroe of DrawLikeCrazy.net knock out like 5 in week and wanted to try my hand at it. This was just my first attempt at this character I plan on doing a real version of her shortly.

This peice is also special because it marks the my first completed sketch peice with ArtRage 3. Actually, its ArtRage Studio Pro that I got a chance to demo and must say I am so going in on this program. It is by far leaps and bounds above it predecessor, it is not even funny. As soon as i open it up and saw all of the new brushes and settings I almost lost it. I found myself wrapped up in the water color brush and some of the other tools as well. There is so much to explore and do with this program that I still have not had the chance to go through and try everything. I have been having endless amount of fun exploring what I can do with this program.

I am a bit amazed at the cost. At 80 bucks this program is on par or at the same level with some of the other natural media programs out there today.

Now I just have to get my hands on a Cintiq and I will be in artist heaven. But that is on far off, dream.

With the said let me say that there is so much more to come, especially with the new artrage. I may start having to post more the just raw sketches. maybe,

So things will be touch and go here for second, between this job, comic book I am working on for someone (more on that soon) and my own artwork. Besides the fact that I am also working on other clients work as well as trying to get few art book out the door with a few other artist. I am stretching myself very thin.

2010-01-31T15:38:00.001-05:00

...but I seem to be going through a crisis of an artist nature. I produce a a lot of works form illustration to graphic design, comic book art to web design, T-shirt apparel design to Vector illustrations concept art to 3d character models. So I have lot of work and in recent years I have been holding off on pushing any of it because I wanted to put it in an artbook. But, it is increasingly hard on me to look at my art I have set aside for an artbook or a sketch book that is almost 2 years old and see good work or work that represent what I can do.

So my question, my queue is if you think one should hold showing the artwork to be shown exclusively in an art book or just put it out and if an art book comes up collect your best put it out. Don't worry about exclusivity and just be an artist.

Just something that is knocking around in my head. I sitting here on 200 or so various art works for projects that may or may not happen. I'd rather be see that than wait to see them if a book or two get out.

And with one big breath good bye to 2009, you have not been the best year.

but New Day, New year, New Decade, Lets Go.

On to the art as I do every Year, I knock out a single piece of art at the stroke of midnight. This years is IMMFHO is 100x better that last years, In fact I may color this one. I have yet to do that on any of the pieces I have done at the beginning of the year. Last years art was utter crap and basically that's the way the year went.

No name but I love the way in turned out and even slapped some grungy old paper on it for fun.

hope 2010 is great for all we all need to be in one way or another.

ArtRage Fun 17 The Batman

2009-11-20T00:14:00.002-05:00

I know I haven't posted much. I have been working one some web design stuff as well my own web/ graphic design projects. On top of that I been doing some on-site freelancing. It really does feel great to work inside of an office/ part of team again. Even if it was just for a short time. I love the feeling of being around artist/ designers. There is an un-explainable energy that comes off that fuels me for some strange reason to push myself. My focus becomes unmatched and I start to work extra-hard. I love it.

But, None less I have something I have to get off of my chest. I can not draw Batman. Not draw him in the general sense. But, I can not draw him to my liking. The greats say you have to draw a character until you own him. Meaning you can draw that character like no one else. The version you have drawn is not like anyone's. That character is yours and you are so comfortable, that you can draw him/her/it in pose any shot, any action.

I simply have not got there yet. I have drawn him several times and he still feels so hard to draw and grasp it bothers me. But None the less I will press on until I own this get this character down.

This batman is about as close to that feeling that I have got so far.

I am really starting to feeling better about sketching and drawing on the computer. Although it will never replace pencil and paper. It does have its advantages and several dis-advantages as well. I am still trying to get over those, However that may be easier that I think if I can get my hands on a cintiq. Those things are like looking into sun. You know you are not supposed to stare but you just can't pull your self away. I start to drool a little every time a see one and get very jealous ever time I see some one use one.

Ah One can only dream. Here is a quick 3 min art rage sketch. Just some random head shot.

This one as well as others have been siting on my hard drive for a while. But I just felt like uploading it now. I quickly designed this one and a few others after watching the movie Speed Racer. I will not get into the movie but the action and car design were decent.

If I ever get some time and the programs this maybe one of the concept that I can further and build the 3d version. Definitely something I may do down the road.

Art and Concept are mine.

I haven't posted in a moment due to some procrastination, frustration with the job market, small projects that are becoming big projects and Midnight Club: Los Angeles.

But here is a new art rage sketch the I wanted to play around with a little more. This time want to play around with the felt tip pen in the program. It did not turn out great but adequate for what is was. I really want to see what I can do with the program. I wonder what what I can do if I had a cintiq.

Things that make you go hmmm.

Pencils

Well I should have posted this last week. But like most artist procrastination set in. So here is the next stage in my process. The Pencils, At this point I go over my rough idea in red or blue no photo blue pencil some time in 4h-9h lead. This time it was red lead. Once the composition is done and I am satisfied which I am coming to understand is hardly ever, i go back over it with a mechanical lead and tightin up my lines. I don't do a lot of spot blacks, but I do use varying line weights to show depth. After the line are finished, the pencils are then scanned and the clean up further in photoshop. so here are the finished pencils.

So here are the other stage in my process.

Full sized rough.

Well what this time around I am show you all the next stage. This is where I would create a full size rough version of the idea. I normally do this in non-repro blue or red pencil or a any pencil (3h to 9h) lying around. At this stage I try to go in as lose as possible because I never know if I cam going to make any change on the fly. I go ahead and add all of the detail in at this stage as well. I also add the representations of line weight along with the spot blacks. Which I hardly every do and or shadows which again I hardly ever do. At this point i make the decision weather I am going to color the piece as well. It all depends on the desired out.

Back with stage 3 which will be the clean pencils and will probably end up on my website.

The Rough Thumbnail.

Like Most Illustrator/ Comic-Book Artist and even some Concept artist of the day I start out with a thumb nail sketch of idea or piece. I generally do this for just about every thing I create. So this is the Initial Rough sketch of my (failed) entry into Darkstalkers Tribute artbook.

I will be back with next stage if development.

Really not much to say just trying to get better digitally sketching and this is one of the one that I came up.

I am soon going to be doing some full flow work peices basically I am going to go through the whole process from thumbnails to the final pencils/inks/ digital colors or even 3d renders. I am going to try and utilize all of my website and social networks for this process just to see what happens.

Art Rage is just so much damn fun. Here are two new pieces I just created for the hell of it.

So I broke down and finally bought ArtRage. This program is so amazing for something so inexpensive. I am so impressed and can not wait to try out rest of the feature.

I just went ahead knocked this out for fun. just to see what I can do with the program.

could you imagine if I have a cintiq. It would be so on if that happens.

I could probably go paperless. at least for a days.

PS I think I am going to be doing a whole lot more of this.
