Tis the Season

To ignore your blog...apparently. Little sketch I got to do this weekend...unfortunately that is all.

It's the Final Frontier!

Shiva or something

sketches

naked pics found on the interweb for anatomical reference...marker sketches produced. trying to push some funky angles.

sepia stuff

The art show is over and done with. I didn't sell anything, but that is the way the cookie crumbles.

small update

Still working towards finishing up for the art show. Did these while I was waiting for some patching material to dry.

Does that make me crazy?

I don't know about me, but my life is mega crazy right now. Have been able to draw much at all lately. I am showing in the East Austin Studio Tour this weekend and all the last week and a half has been spent prepping for that. Funny that preparing for an art show doesn't allow me to draw...

Batmens

Check out Dean Trippe's work...who I am totally stealing here. Taking a few minutes between programming...saw this guys work and wanted to draw his batman. Apparently I really liked it and couldn't have just one.

Castles

I have been able to draw as much (any) for the past couple weeks. My little brother is starting a business and needs a website in a hurry, so I have been spending all my time working on that. Finally took a few minutes for myself.

Doodle page

I keep a piece of card stock on my drawing table to do tests of colors, clean brushes, and cut on top of when using an exacto. This one sort of became its own thing, and I actually like it better than some of the drawings I have been doing lately.

Update

small update

i mean that literally.

Ka niggits

Watch Monty Python.

Variations on a theme

small update

rapidograph pen with sepia ink.

Female Swamp-Thing Ninja

Or something.

Second verse same as the first

And every other verse for that matter.

Time for Tinactin

I'm so clever

Watercolor painting I started last night. The text at the top and the green are done in Photoshop in about ten seconds just to see how it looks.

Insert Poetic Title Here

More Wapsi

Usually not a fan of the cartoony, but these girls have me intrigued.

Long time no blog

It's been a week since I last posted, and I have (not) suprisingly little to show for it. The girl in black is from Wapsi Square, which is a really cool web comic I just found. My rendition is no where near as well done as the artist that does it...

Orca - Transport Class

In my epic fantasy comic/novel I hope to one day write these bad boys are the method of mass transport...people onboard via the mouth in a 747 sized whale that can fly. Nifty, huh?

Boobs...again...

Always seems to come back to boobs.

Sunset

Watching the sunset on the deck.

Another Batman

Hal Wayne?

Green Lantern Batman...that would be one major asskicker. And then there is a crappy rendition of Superman....

Native American

It's really hard to find Native American artwork on the internet that doesn't scream of stereotypical. All the photos are so posed, that I have no idea how authentic the dress is or anything like that. Oh well. I want to do a story about Thunderbirds and I have been looking around a bit with little success.

The Power of Crayola

My wife likes crayons...so we have some laying around every once in awhile. Here's a crayon robot.

Thighs

Another instant classic, on par with Poop Tarts.

profile shot

more sumi-e ink. Totally loving this stuff.

long time no blog

Been really busy doing nothing lately...or at least I don't have any art to show for my time. Here is a doodle in Sumi-e ink (which I wish I had discovered sooner, this stuff is fun!) and watercolor...

More ink drawings

I've been really enjoying making these lately. I had this little hand bound leather sketchbook with paper made in Tibet or some shit....anyway it was just sitting around because despite its coolness, it was simply too small to actually draw anything. Turns out its the perfect size for these doodles that I end up doing all the time anyway.

reclining figure

watercolor pencils...

robot

doodle done in ArtRage.

Zodiacs

Here are some doodles done with brush and ink, inspired by the zodiac signs...or atleast a couple of them. Taurus, Ares, Scorpio, and Sagitarius.

designs

just some ink drawings.

Lack the patience

I lack the patience to be a comic book artist, though it has remained a life long dream. Doodled these out on scrap paper and composed it in photoshop. 20 minutes or so to do.

Cars

Cars are one of the many things that I have a very hard time drawing...even when looking at reference material. I generally have to look at a drawing to get even close, rather than drawing from life (which is my preference for most other stuff). Sadly I think that designing cars would be one of the coolest jobs ever...shame I couldn't do it.

Starship Troopers

Not the same crap from the piss poor Paul Verhoeven movie. I've always been a bit bitter about that movie, then I read that Verhoeven didn't even finish reading the book. Why did he get granted a license for material he didn't give a crap about? Anyway, here are some doodles of the power suits and I imagine them.

sculpture doodles

Been looking at a lot of sculpture lately...when I'm supposed to be working...heh. Check out this guy.
