Mini Marvels #3

Alrighty here is my weekly post. This week with all the love that I have gotten for my birthday and my engagement, this post seems to be a very appropriate piece. I initially drew this because if the tagline at the bottom was going to be Life Lesson #143: Love always finds a way. And I definitely feel that way because I was able to find a wonderful woman.
But if you're a big comic book geek you know exactly who these two characters are. But what you probably don't know if you're not a big comic geek, this couple is one of the most intriguing couples in comic books. I think their story is better than Scott and Jean (if you don't know who these two are... well your geek cred just went out the window).
Because Rogue cannot have physical contact with anyone, the fact that their relationship bloomed despite not being able to touch eachother just shows how great this love story is. Just one geek spoiler, these two were able to have physical contact at one point in their love story. Gambit basically used his powers like a kinetic condom around his body HAHAHAHA. Look it up.. it's true! haha
But hope you enjoy this, i think it's really cute

Hello Ladies in gents! Yes this is an early post this week but i had to because I finally get to share some artwork to you guys from the last game I worked on at PlayFirst. The release of the game was today on ios called Mortal instruments the game (http://themortalinstrumentsgame.com/) check it out, it's the first game I ever worked on where i feel like it's a type of game that I would play (not these cutesy animal games bAH hahah jk). But I will be posting concept art for the game the upcoming weeks SO STAY TUNED!
For those of you who don't know Mortal Instruments is a book adapted into a screenplay by sony and is I believe releasing next week (don't quote me on that).

Comment on  your opinion for that im keeping mine to myself :D But here's the first of many and it all starts off with the VAMPIRE. NOW THIS IS A VAMPIRE NOT SHINY GLISTENY ONES! enjoy!

Have to just keep smashing away on things, busy busy summer isnt over yet. But hope you guys enjoy this quick one.

Sexy Chick - Chris Sanders Style

Hey everybody!! This one is for the boys! Funny story this week I was using an artist named Chris Sanders as reference at work for a character I was working on, a friend of mine saw my browser and asked "why you looking at porn?" haha.
For those of you who don't know, Chris Sanders is a big name in the animation/art community. He worked at disney for a number of years, influencing the style of characters and backgrounds most notably if you havent guessed Lilo & Stitch. His personal work consists of sexy ladies and its really awesome. That's why i had to explain im not referencing porn, its the artist style i was referencing.  So i wanted to try a drawing to emulate that style. It was definitely harder to execute than i thought. i should do more of these because i need practice drawing the female form, and im sure i could totally sell these sexy drawings to horny fanboys at conventions hahaha. ENJOY!

Now those of you artists out there who want to read about my troybles doing thiscdrawing read on:

Heres the inital sketch. Chris Sanders always draws a cute animal with his sexy ladies so i thought to myself because this is a homage to this mans work and style im going to draw stitch in. i was so frustrated after i made this sketch because i felt like something was wrong. Like it looked so terrible and i couldnt put my finger on it. even getting the face right i was upset because it didn't turn out the way i wanted it to. the drawing was very stiff and vertical, it was just not there.

So i actually drew over the drawing multiple times. My figure drawing professor would be so happy. I drew boxes and cylinders in jts to figure out the anatomy. One thing i realized is that Sanders has such a strong understanding of anatomy that he's able to make a females legs and hips look big while keeping the drawing look appealing and cute. I almost opened my anatomy book to just understand where I could push the figure more.

after i got a better understanding of her weight and anatomy i started the cleanup line drawing. looks cool. 

Mini Marvels #1

In honor of the San Diego Comic Con this week (which i wish i was there :(   ) I decided to start what I hope becomes a series of drawings. I was inspired by an artist on FB who's cute characters made me wish I came up with it first. But because this blog is all about me trying different things to find my "style" I decided to do this. Check her stuff out. Just search Pocket Princesses on Facebook you'll fall in love imediately.

But because this blog is about my art here issue NUMBER 1 of Mini Marvels. Couldn't decide what would be the first one I did so I did a homage to one of the craziest fights in comic book history. For those of you who don't know, wolverine almost lost his life to Magneto after magneto sucked all the adimantium from his bones right through his pores. Ouch... and I thought sweating the alchohol from hangovers was bad hehehe. Hope you like it. And I hope to do more soon. 

Quick Warrior sketch

OMG ridiculous weekend..... im surprised i could get any kind of sketch done. but luckily i did this and it actually turned out cool. maybe ill take it to a finish or full color at some point. kind of looks like a kool monochromatic card
