Heart vs Break: line work

something I'm working on for Valentines.
It's a homage to 70's sentai and henshin (power ranger type shows). But it's Valentine themed.

Here's the current line work.
I'm working on this on and off  jobs. I'm juggling. But the next update will hopefully be near valentines.

Lighting:Tattoo Wonderwoman

Well I thought I'd spend sometime trying out some different types of lighting variations on wonderwoman.
My favorite is the last one... the lighting is non traditional for a portrait.. but very striking

Fanexpo Tattoo Wonderwoman coloured

While waiting on feed back I thought it would be good to do a colour study. You can tell I changed the proportions and stuff a little bit (started to notice what things were off and bugging me so I adjusted it).

I would like to try to do another version of this same piece but under different lighting conditions (might be fun... to be continued at some point)

see the previous post if you want to see the picture I referenced

Fanexpo Tattoo Wonderwoman

Just need to get away from work and doodle..
so it thought come back and look through those fanexpo pics and figure I'd pick Tattoo Wonderwoman as my subject.
Had a lot of fun... with this.. maybe at somepoint I'll come back to this.
I loved her Wonderwoman tattoo on her arm!

Spotlight: Streetbot (happy new year)

I have a account Deviantart.com  and I woke up to answered a few messages and while having coffee I started to realize..  boy there's a lot of messages here.
I got a spotlight on Deviant art!
Wow what a great way to start the year.

But I wanted to say thanks to Family and friends for all the support... and everyone else who frequents my page!
Hope you had a great 09.. and hoping you have a awesome 2010!

Robot on the Street: Finished

Finally finished... just before the year ended.

Lighting was fun on this piece.

Well I think this might be my last art piece I post before the year ends....

So Happy New Year!

And thanks for making this year Great!

Choose your own adventure Comic. Awesome + some cool vids

I caught this video well getting my fix of www.lowbright.com Derek Kim's web/comic.

The idea behind idea behind this comic, it's brilliant! I love how the comic is presented visually and physically. There's lines that lead to tab (cut into the book!) to reveal where your adventure leads too!!..

Idea behind the comic (writer/artist Jason Shiga).
I had seen him at TCAF.. while getting Derek Kim's autograph... and I regret not spending the time talking to the other artists that day (cutting the trip short running back for mother's day)

Well Here's a Video of Jason Shiga explaing his comic.. coming in 2010. (can't wait to get it)

Jason Shiga @ APE 2009 from Doctor Popular on Vimeo.

My friend David Cho had posted this Video on his Facebook page...
totally in awe of it.. and my friend Brian Wilson... sent it to me today.. remind me I'm such a idiot for not posting this earlier....



and a little more.... (this is better then bullet time!)
the kid is awesome in this... he totally gets into it and pulls off some serious kamen rider moves!

I just realized Nujabes feat are the same guys who did the samurai champloo soundtrack...




samurai champloo (the story/animation is awesome)

Yes it transforms......

Mecha Santa + Tutorial

Man I've had this video sitting around for a bit.
But I've been asked a few times to get a commentary done for the time lapse video.
I had a few hickups with the audio.
But I think I've gotten something now (going to take a while before I get better at this.

I threw the art on a 3d Box I did in 3d studio max.. quickly. I tried to keep it in style to those gundamn kits. I love building those things (although I hate painting models).

Oh and all the videos are in HD quality. so double click it if you want to see it with more clairty.

or if you prefer youtube (2 parts.. because youtube is lame and you can't go over 10 mins).

hope you've been good

I didn't want to do the usual type of holiday card
so I tried something different for the holiday season.
I squeezed this inbetween gigs.

Turbo: Short film

I saw this on Kotaku,
This short film is pretty kickass created by Jarrett Conaway.

A University of Southern California student film short Turbo, done with a 100,000 budget

sleeplessly

Something a bit quick,
dedicating this to someone who needs more sleep!

One Eyed Yeti.

The One Eyed yeti... the idea came from Ryon Xavior http://www.htxbstudio.com/wordpress/ (go check him out.. you gotta check his sculpts.. some crazy stuff).

Unfortunately... I kind of put it off.. but Xavior was sooo patient. And it was in the back of my mind. I didn't want to give him JUST a one eyed yeti..
Tried of thinking of something I could throw on him to make the yeti seem different.

SoOooooooo.......
the little back story I made for this guy... He eats children.. but also hides among them by dressing up as them. *** Gasp *** that's why the Yeti is so hard to find.

good morning daddy

threw this together. I get antsy when waiting for feedback...
so I burn the extra energy by doing something productive.

Thought this one would be fun. A little kid seeing daddy off to work.

Dagonlily

boy insomnia keeps me pretty productive these days....
but I thought it might be fun to draw a character in cosplay... The design is my own...
But I figure if I say its cosplay.. it gives me some fun to mash stuff together.

I dream of

Well I would be dreaming of....
but I have a serious case of insominia tonite. So what I'm doing.. drawing of course.
I had all these little doodles of robots. so I thought I might make into something.
I sometimes do these little cute bots as a exercise for shapes.

Deviant art is also having a contest about dreams.. funny enough.... oh man I wish I could sleep!
