C&G portrait 2 of 4 Brendan Frye

 

This is the second out of four in a series, done for C&G monthly(comic and games monthly magazine).

Once I have all 4 portraits done I'll be working out a background to tie everything together.

It's GDC conference (game developers conference)  this week. I hope my homies there are having fun!

Lovebots, Happy Valentines!

 

I totally missed out on creating  a Christmas card last year. But I had worked out most of the valentines card while still eating turkey during the holidays. I was determined not to miss Valentines without making a illustration.

I'm not a animator but I enjoy moving pixels.

Hope you enjoy (in mutiple formats)

Happy Valentines!

Voltron, Yellow Lion

 

Back in the summer I had done a collab with fan favorite Franchesco for a Voltron book.

World Events and 5Finity Production, published by Moonstone and its a whopping 200 page Hard Cover. He just emailed me last nite that he had just recieved his copy already. I havn't seen it yet but I'm pretty excited to see it myself.

I posted one more collab that I did with Franchesco's  line work (and another voltron piece)

I posted that summer.

 

Pigsy: Journey to the West (monkeyking)

It's been a long time since I've posted anything. I was digging around my old hard drive and found designs hand been working on for Pigsy, from Journey to the west.

Something we like: Interview

Hope everyone had a good Holiday Cheer. It's been a absolutely crazy time...  tiring, but thankfull everything is good!
"Something We Like" was kind enough to give me a interview/spotlight on their blog.
You can find it over here.

Oh yes and Happy New Year.

Get your cheeks to mars.

 

I did this commission piece a few months back.

Thought I would make amends and post it now.

Dr Sketchy with Keela Watts

I hadn't gone life drawing since last year. I went a with a few friends Jori and Charlene.
I thought I would take some of the drawings and do some quick shading for a warmup

C&G mag Portrait 1/4

This is the first portait for C&G monthly Mag 

This is the first portrait of four reviewers from the Mag. This is my friend Wayne Santos. His portrait is based off  the game Seaman for the dreamcast (a really crazy weird fun sim)

For kicks I thought it would be fun to try and animate Wayne in a aquarium/sea.

Ontario yours to uncover: Interview

Keef was kind enough to spend time to do a interview with me.
He also happens to know my obession to old japanese super robots, and mecha godzilla.

He also has interviews with various other artists, entertainers models and etc..

I also noticed I wrote "also" a lot of times.

Underoo

Well I had this done a while ago, I thought I would post it up.
The image of a monster running around in their underpants always made me laugh (you're probably wondering what monster runs around in their under pants... well Marvel's Fing Fang Foom does).
I went with a limited colour scheme, with a less is more approach

I tried a couple styles, but in the end I  thought the most fun was a blocky vinyl style.

kidchuckle in 2d artist mag

Been a little while since I've posted anything. Last month I was asked to write a article in 2d artist mag about sketching. Some stuff in the article is old, and some sketches never seen before (well unless you've flipped through my sketchbook or looked over my shoulder). I cover some of my process and go roughly how I take sketch to painting.

2dartist was kind enough to host my article and allow myself to share it. Feel free pass it along.

I can tell you the full version of the mag is really cool too.. so go out and pickup that version tool. 

Sir Seth Thistlewaite is in Stores

Sir SethThistlewaite is now available in stores and online to buy.

I thought I would throw in some preproduction art that was done. These concepts won't be published in the book.

It's a fun book for kids 6-8

This was the final design of Sir Seth

And here's the various different styles and  looks that were tried for preproduction for Sir Seth and his friends

Oh and one last thing. my good friend Hilary Leung is launching his second kids book
"Ninja Cowboy Bear Presents the Way of the Ninja"
 a sequal to "The Legend of Ninja Cowboy Bear"

Zoo Trip

I've been going through some sketchbook stuff and scanning it for my for my archives.
These are some sketches that I had done at the zoo, a lot of fun. (I took the pencils and toned it in photoshop. Digi markers!).
I think this was back in April that I went with  Hilary Leung, Haun Tran, Charlene Chua, Kay Huang and Jori Baldwin.

And yes there were Lions and Tigers and Bears (but didn't get a chance this round to draw them... Oh my).
