some sketches...more later!

Just a tiny update to say Happy Thanksgiving a day late. I was so busy all over the place yesturday! But overall it was a great day, also I got to visit family that I haven't seen in a long while, and they were glad to see me, even though I suck with keeping in touch. Also, I have to work on the pieces for the Artist Revolution at Chu's bar and restaurant. So I've been pulling all those little hair I've got out thinking about what to show there. This should be fun.

That evil dude, in this pic just want to take over the world at all cost, (no he's not me) However, he feels that he's certainly obligated by the gods to do so. So It'll likely be up to some good peoples (like heroes) to makes sure that doesn't happen, Right? Yeah that's how the story usually goes down. I'm still wondering if any of this makes any sense.

This was a room I had to design for the antagonist in my class. This surely was interesting to work on, because based off the characteristics of the character I desiged, and where he lives, which is an old town built intergrated into the side of an icy cliff. They have strange technology which allow them to be able to do stuff like that. This would be a room that the character would be in for only a short period of time. After all, a hero's got to be busy adventuring, right? This is the room for the for my female antagonist, it's a very themish room, in a way, since she's a pilot and loves machines, probably more than people. However, I wanted this room to be filled with a lot more mechanical stuff, better showing what's she into. And since she has more financial stability due to her family, she could have a better looking room. She leaves this life behind to journey the world in her new plane. I sure hope she can fly well.

The antagonist and protagonist characters I had to create for my character and object animation class, of all the classes I've so far taken, this one is going to be hella useful in my journey to creating a webcomic, and then from there maybe some kinda animated series. I've learned quite a few interesting things in this class, but I feel that I need a bit more work, the antagonist (top) looks a but weird to me. lol

WOW it's been forever!!(again) But Ive been alive mostly, I've joined the Daily Sketch group, around 2 days ago, and I decided to take part a bit. These are the first two daily sketches I've made for that small community and it's fun practice.

Yes, I know it may be hard for some to think that it's possible. However, I'v been super busy with my classwork. But honestly I'm loving every assignment that's been tossed my way. I've been taking an anatomy class and a visual indication class, with those cool prisma markets and stuff. Let me tell you making a highly detailed image with markers is every bit as tough as you'd think, really. I'm a lot more interested in my anatomy class, it's pretty interesting drawing a bunch of muscles and bones!

Yeah, I found this extremely hilarious!

Video Games | Marvel Anime Iron Man Teaser XBox 360 | Playstation 3 | Nintendo Wii I've been looking around about the Comic Con which I think ends today. Among all the news I find out that Marvel along with Mad House have been a tad busy. They've been working on an awesome looking Iron man anime which I think is out of this world with awesomeness! It doesn't follow any current story of Iron Man, but is made as if the character was created in Japan. From what I see in this trailer, I can't wait to check it out. I just hope that it doesn't follow the process a few animes do by making the first episode kick-ass, then all goes south from there. I also hope that there isn't any of what I call the worst word in the dictionary, FILLERS! But I doubt that. However, I can't say that I feel the same way about this teaser.... Video Games | Marvel Anime Wolverine XBox 360 | Playstation 3 | Nintendo Wii WHAT!? A Wolverine animé! Some dude that looks noth

I don't know, today I must have been in a good mood to do so many sketches all at once. I'm not really sure how long it took me to complete 32 sketches! However, I am sure it's around the 2 and half hour mark, I think. This was actually a lot of fun, just playing around and I feel that I've improved a bit over the process of all of these sketches, well see!

Here's a speed painting I finished somewhere between 1:30 and 2:00 am. After spending the whole day soaking in inspiring things at DeviantArt and playing around in photoshop.

While, I definitely enjoyed drawing day which just passed. I feel that I could provided a lot more drawings if I weren't so busy. So what I did are a few sketches, I was barely willing to even put them up here cause they look 100% more messy than they did, when I drew them. And I have a few others, that really need work..;p So expect to see an 100% cleaned up version of those sketches. Enjoy your day!

A dark city which looms over the landscape. It gather power for it's wealthy citizens from the souls of men who live down below. However, there's a glimmer of hope for those who live each day fearing this city. Soon this will change..

Whooo hoo! Drawing day is about 3 days away, and I still don't really know what I'm going to draw. But I feel pretty confident that whatever flow from my fingertips will be something I'll be happy with. I've had a lot of time to draw things as of late, without a job and I'm just dealing with school. So I'm just really looking forward to some good draw time on June 6th! I'll definitely be posting something interesting on Saturday.

A strange world were it vegetation is unlike anything on this world. A world were the grass grows differently. Is this a place you'd like to live? I know I wouldn't. :p

A sketch which I had to complete for one of my assignments. I think it turned out alright, I'm getting more used to using photoshop as a painting tool. I know there's a lot to learn about using brushes, but I feel that I atlease achieved a bit of something.

Hero - Five Second Project from Leon Mcpherson on Vimeo . Over at www.greyscalegorilla.com, I decided to take upon the challenge of making a five second project. This was an interesting challenge and I definitely wanted the practice.

Yesterday, I decided to take the challenge of coloring the mA-13. Took me almost all evening to get it done and was a learning experience for me, since I'm not really that strong on painting, especially in Photoshop. But I was happy with result, and now it's up here.

On this odd day on Reester Island, There was a story about how these huge creatures would come to the shore by this island to die. Since decades they would come to shore and die next each other. On a side note, today is Earth Day. I've been so wrapped up in my mind that I didn't even remember about it. I'm not really sure whats so special about Earth day anyways. I'm sure that all the small 'green' things that people are trying to do to feel less guilty, is nothing compared to the damage put upon this planet for centuries. So, now we know our atmosphere is thinning out due to greenhouse gases, and buying all natural dish washing liquid, or other all natural "green" is going to amend things? Another among millions of other ways to get people all fired up for something and buy stuff. ;p

The mA-13 walks the Earth in abundance, since the now ancient civilization that built them met a quick and timely end by their own creation. Now it roams free among the wild lands. The Triloks found it necessary and willed the complete protection from harm in any way. Ironically that which is no longer of existence, no longer needs protecting.

I woke up this morning, after about 4 hours of sleep feeling a lot better than I did for the last week. I had to fight off a pretty evil cold, that would make me sound like Darth Sidious whenever I spoke. It was an interesting change, aside from the torturing headaches and stuff. But I digress, this morning I awoke with a new energy and a bit refreshed, and the first thing I do is visit Youtube?! Anyways, since I used to be in a school band long ago, this sorta brought back those good memories.

Reel 2008 | Kotoc from kotoc on Vimeo . So it's a normal day as usual, surfing the web scratching my head wondering what's next. I came across this video on Kotoc's site, their demo reel for 2008. I saw and I was immediately floored with the awesomeness all contained within this one minute and forty five second video. When I see studios like these, it really makes me think, what got them started and things as one day I'd hope to have an awesome studio with amazing artist making...Well, whatever! Anything under the sun! There's no limits. Anyways, enjoy this awesome video.

I got up this morning, made some intensely mundane and boring breakfast. Had some coffee too, I've been getting into that lately. I jumped on the comp and fired up my browser. Then I came across something. This video of that new Nintendo DSi coming out soon and one of it's many apparent features. I must admit I was never really truly interested in another DS with a few new features here and there. However, this feature, made my eyes swell up with tears, to be able to do something like this on the DSi makes this a must get for me! Watch the video, need I say more? ^_-

Even more proof of my busyness!

These drawings were completed with my trusty mechanical pencil. Most of which were completed for my drawing class at AI. See?! I've been busy, I know there's not excuse for the lack up updates going on around here. Things will improve. ;P

I draw wierd things sometimes...Like in this case, I decided to bring forth a new chapter from the great StarFox. What was I thinking? I dunno, make a movie out of it...That's the way I live! Especially being as unemployed as I currently am, I can now find the time to get something done! Right? Or is that the way of thinking? Shouldn't I be more worried about what's to come next? If I told you how I get through each day, you'd probably laugh. Well things can't be THAT bad, atlease you're enrolled in school, and you'd soon reach that destined level of educated hieghts to be able to land that extremely high paying job career. Well anyways to wrap up this short text fest, today I start my Drawing and Color Thoery for Print classes! And I am pretty excited, school is the one thing that keeping me from going nuts in this situation. But I've got to work hard! Wish me luck...Ç_Ç
