some greek for lunch

lunchtime sketch :) I've always been intrigued by the medusa character. seems Greek mythology in general is more interesting than most


inspired by Wander's Style

steampunk girl

yaaa for gray paper and grayscal markers

I couldn't seem to draw the other day. so i worked on something abstract.

the rest of the numerical family to follow.

eat it feng zhu.

I really think every aspiring artist needs to be familiar with Mr Feng. He's one of those artists so good, so well versed... its sick. A huge influence of mine, I recently revisited his site, came up with this sketch... really would like to spend another 20hours on it, but other stuff to do first... sigh.

Colourful thoughts?

Almost ready to submit!

this is my first entry for Winnipeg's Anime Con Mascot contest (theme: magic girl) and I was wondering if i could get a tad of feedback on my colour choices? or any other thoughts would be mucha appreciated

many thanks chaps,
cheers

Updatd Other Mother :)

I updated this pic for the comic con :)

Bits and Bites

So i have a nifty Idea for my next 30 posts or so posts: I recently picked up a small little note/sketchbook to carry around, In the next couple of days I plan on attacking it with doodles, scribbles, and the such, then upload one of the sketches EACH DAY for 30 (or something) days as well as a caption of what/where i was when the lil drawing occurred... should be fun! :)

I saw the "New Moon" twilight movie... and... not too bad. some neat werewolf/vamp fights... some humorous dialogue (not sure how laughable it was supposed to be) but all in all I had fun with it. nothing too special, but watchable for sure.

It was not even close to how horrible most people are roaring about, I think twilight is just one of those fads that's really fun to hate. some people are having a lot of fun.

H1N1... Im still a bit foggy on this illnesses deal. It can kill younger healthier individuals... but only in specific circumstances, and most times it just ends up being a wimpy version of the regular flu. seems to me I should be just as worried about crossing the street.

Kella! my werewolf hunter... just hanging out, bein coo :)

( i think the animated batman's poison Ivy character was my first crush... until Little Mermaid)
This drawing is halfway through being watercoloured, hope to upload the final soon.




Corrrraaaalllliiiine: on a very fun note, I plan on attending a traditional animation course through the Winnipeg art gallery soon! Animation is a medium that I have utmost respect and adoration for, and i think I would attempt it far more often if I was in a program of sorts :)

Mascot Concept 01 (lineart v3)

My mascot progress for the 2010 Ai-Kon challenge. I think im going to do one more swipe at her before I colour, re-design the staff a bit, add some pieces of flair (anime keychains, buttons, ect)

any crits would be much appreciated! and I plan on designing at least one more, so any ideas for the #2 girl would also be fantastic :)

stay classy gang (yes i said gang)
cheers.

More cons please...

Winnipeg's Comic con 09 was a resounding success for me in the artist alley!
I made back all my printing/supplies costs, met some great artists, traded some artwork, chatted with Adam West. It was quite a hectic week or two leading up to the event (I managed to crash office depot's system x2 with some large pdfs, lol), but very much worth it.

I want to attend more. one a year does not give me my fix.

I've already signed up for the Calgary con , am looking into a couple in Ontario, Toronto, and maybe head down to either Fargo or Minneapolis for theirs...

I also currently working on a mascot contest for Winnipeg's Anime Con
I'll upload my gal soon, and i gotta say, she's looking fairly anime-mascot-ish.

cheers,
stay classy you art wizards.

Painting Process

Im entering a downtown gallery this weekend... rushing to get this piece done.

FULL SIZE

A commission from Winnipeg's comic con 09, I did around 10-15 commissions, but this is the only one i took a picture of before it was gone (stupid me)

terrible. terrible. terrible.

I'm terrible.

Comic Con 09

Hey! Winnipeg comic con is over! and wow, what a great time, over 20,000 visitors!!
Met some great artists, saw some fantastic costumes, MET ADAM WEST!(wohoo he liked the comic i drew for him) all and all it was pretty awesome. Can't wait till next year.

hmm, things for next year would be:
• Bring a friend along to watch/help with your table (otherwise you kinda get stuck all day)
• Get your prints done early! I crashed office depots computers twice the morning of the con... it was a stressful morning...
• funny stuff sells. more humorous comics for next year...
• take more time to walk around. I hardly got a chance to scope out all there was to see!
• and trade as much art as you can with other artists! i really wish i had grabbed more artwork from other talents!

Roxas

Roxas, watercoloured, then cut out.
I'm not going to lie to you, i liked him far more than sora... although sora's still a coo cat.

Final Form Sora

The character "Sora" from the videogame Kingdom Hearts.

DEVIL shoulder angel

My costume is half done! here is the evil half of my shoulder angel :)

Flats...

Sci fi pin up

Kella and Landan peck

A character Collaboration!!

My character Kella, macking on Landan the werewolf! (this guys character)

The scandal!! Especially since Kella is a werewolf hunter… but meh, it was her day off. Landan is still a bit wary about the unexpected peck…

Big bot design... im thinking of adding in a girl here or something, maybe combine this bot with my previous artwork "well good luck" and make it a robot/girl standoff... we shall see :)

The Runaway

Wanted poster from Avatar :D

progress...

colouring my sci-fi girl... thought I'd go for Eureka 7 hair, and some Anubis body armour. should be cool!

Poison Ivy Lines

vamps dont sparkle...ever

That’s right twilight ppl. Real Vampires do not sparkle. Deal with it. lol.

Kella

Kella, another werewolf hunter... her and riddle don't get along at all.
