Happy Birthday to me!

Hi folks! Long time no blogging! This whole month has been unfortunately busy for me due to MidTerms taking up my freetime-- as well as three more midterms underway. In the meantime, I would like to share with you some extra Comic Con art that I drew for my portfolio when I was preparing for Sunday's big event.

Hellboy

This has to be the third Hellboy drawing I've ever done. I really love the improvements here which are much better than the first two that I've drawn. The inking style really stands out.

Elmo Dollar

I really like this concept. I drew this sort of as a love letter to Elmo, From Sesame Street, who was at Comic Con at the Variant stage. I never got the chance to meet Kevin Clash, so unfortunately, I never got to show him. ;)

Rorschach Gizmo

Another retake of another favorite drawing I've done. I really loved the first time I drew Rorschach Gizmo last year, that I really wanted to preserve the idea and keep it in my portfolio, so I can demonstrate my inking ability. 

Fundamentalist meets Trick O Treaters

This is actually for an upcoming Halloween issue, for an article that's being written by my friend, Brittany Wethrill. I decided for this to imitate some Tim Burton art, with a dash of Tex Avery. ;)

 Justin 'Hawkeye' Casey

 Yes, Flying House fans-- another crossover between the Avengers and Flying House. Once again, all apart of my Superbook/Flying House meets Avengers fan art idea I've been dabbling with. I figured Justin and Angie would make a great pair for my portfolio.

Negaduck

And of course, I can't forget my early Disney Afternoon roots with shows like Darkwing Duck. After all, because James Silvani was gonna be there, I wanted to show him my Negaduck drawing. Unfortunately, he never had the chance to look at it because he was extremely busy at that moment. But he was extremely nice at the booth when I recapped with him. :)

Anyway, that's all I have to share. I hope to go more into detail on Comic Con as soon as the Midterms clear up.

Cheers!

recollecting...

Howdy blog goers! I haven't updated this blog for a bit, but I still managed to keep myself busy with my family and other things. It seems as though I haven't been drawing as much as I thought I would this weekend. At least I still managed to draw a bit this weekend. Anyway, here's some art.

Bicep reflex

I drew this one thursday night since I had nothing much to do. It's nice to know that I'm getting used to drawing arms more as well as experimenting with muscle tones. I can't wait to see what body part I'll be drawing this week. ;)

Calvin and Hobbes sketchdump

I was bored so I decided to experiment with a little Calvin and Hobbes art while I was watching Breaking Bad on friday night. Not much of Hobbes though. lol

Merrythought's room

I was bored, so I decided to draw another part of Merrythought's room for the Knight of Burning Pestle play, just to experiment with perspective and designing furniture. On the left is a cupboard with a locked drawer compartment which allows the person to hide beer or magazines. ;)

Superbook--Old vs New

This is a famous sketch that I drew in hopes to tackle the new Superbook that was being created by the new production team at CBN. I never liked the new Superbook, so I thought what it would be like if Chris, Joy and Gizmo watched the new one...^^

I can tell that I vastly improved compared to this piece:

And this one was just 9 months ago. Time really does fly, right?

KNN [Koffing News Network] and more...

KNN take 1

Poor Pikachu!! XD

This is just a update of an old sketch idea I intended on pitching to my college paper last semester. Unfortunately, the file was too bright to be laid out on paper, so I had to submit my Old vs New Superbook gag. I may wind up sketching this picture again because I feel there are things I should add and take away, such as the font at the bottom, and add a coffee mug just for atmosphere.

Still, I absolutely love the idea of Koffing being recreated as a corporate news official. XD

Anyway, right now I'm watching Finding Nemo with my family, whose asleep right now. Watching this movie again really brought back memories. :) God Bless talented men like Andrew Stanton. 

Anyway, while I surfing the web earlier, I visited one of my acquaintances webpage, Joy 1987, and spotted this earlier:

I absolutely adore this concept ^^. While it's not 100% like the original ChrisXJoy from the original Superbook, Mr. Garcia managed to give the general concept more respect than the new Superbook. Chris Peeper still has the black shonen hair, with a blue hoodie and a small green shirt hidden inside (just like my Trouble Shooters version :D) and Joy is still a blonde bearing a pink dress. :D This is really fun to look at. It kinda inspires me to get back to work on my Trouble Shooters project again. :)

I wish Chris Garcia the best of luck on his new graphic novel and Godspeed. :)
