the zoo

I managed to head to the zoo last week with Charlene Chua and Mike Del Mundo.
A lot of fun... but I have a feeling that the animals knew we were drawing them and when they got bored of us they went to turn away.

C&G portrait 3 of 4 Eric Weiss

This is the third portrait I've done for C&G Magazine.
Eric had asked me to put him in Wizard garb.

Silly Zombie Pumpkin Pants + starbucks sketches

Well to keep it short. I've always wanted to have a toy of my own design.
so I've submitted it to patchtogether.com [link]
But I do need votes. If you could vote for me that would be great

1) rating of 5 is the highest, 1 the lowest.

2) you need to checkmark it if you would like it to be a toy or poster or both

If you have time.. tell your friends. Post some news/journal/blog it etc.

Thanks again for your time!

If you have time spread the news. Journal/blog/tweet etc!

A cuter Easter. Bunny Girl

 

Well here's another Easter Promo I did. Something completely different from my last piece.

I was heavily influenced by papercraft culture. Although the illustration took no time at all... but I thought I would spend more time experimenting with the animation.

Zombie Easter Bunny Vs Monster Eggs

This was a mishmash of sorts. Combining Easter and Halloween. Creepy Chibi  group on deviantart, had a challenge to do a easter bunny zombie, and I couldn't resist. I thought it would be fun to do with Easter around the corner.

I will have something cuter for those want something more friendly soon.

Miro-K Wallpapers

Miro-K is GOGO Crazybones latest addition. It's a limited eddition 5000 made.

Drawing Steve the Plushy

Last year I had recieved a plushy by fellow artist Grelin Machin.
Her Plushy Steve is so awesome.. it makes me laugh every time I sit down at my computer.
I can't tell you how much I love the design.

Just a little break from the usual. Had some fun doing a bit of fanart. Zangief (street fighter).

Gogos Crazy Bones 2/2

Here are some Concept art for Gogo Crazybones that weren't used. timeline was too tight for them to produce to be used a limited release. Which was too bad, but they were a ton of fun to mess around with.

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.

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.
