had to get into the act

This was an old Iron man I did years ago I just wanted to play around with an Iron man so I painted this one and honestly was to lazy to draw a new one SORRY!!!! click on the image to enlarge

IRON MAN???????

Please tell me that they are going to have the traditional Red and yellow one. There is a website But I don't know if its active yet I wonder when the movie is slated to hit? anyone know? the thing in the center of his chest looks weird coming through the t-shirt like that... However, nice rendition of the traditional Grey armor. well I guess this answers my question.... Courtesy IGN, we have the Stan Winston built suit for Iron Man. This is the first of many Iron Man suits the character Tony Stark (played by Robert Downey Jr) will wear in the movie. Its highly reminiscent of the suit that first appeared in “Tales Of Suspense” where Iron Man was first published. The more familiar ketchup & mustard flavored suit will still be in the movie.

Directed by Jon Favreau, Iron Man is due May 2008


s this image is attached to the up coming Jon Favreau Iron Man movie. Ok, I say upcoming because its slated to kick off the summer of '08 and I am already excited about it. The only bad part is, its not the final deal.


JoBlo reports:

...some costume ideas that were rejected by the folks making the movie, but not necessarily because they hated them. In fact, according to ScreenRant.com, even though they liked the design, and "...in some cases it paralleled what they were doing, it did not fit in with their overall direction. They're wanting to go in more of an Adi Granov design direction.
So they didnt reject this design because they are planning on doing something radical. They are not going to make a stupid looking Iron Man, or change the look completely =cough=Megatron=cough= so the purists can exhale.
Adi Granov has a cleaner, less detailed version of this design that they want to use. Personally, Id like to see it overly detailed as a "real" suit of armour that permits a man to fly and shoot EMP bursts from his palm would look like.

So...sick...

Hey gang.

Man, I just got out of an art funk, and I get sick. It's not the bed ritten sick either. It's the kind of sick that makes you feel sore and lazy. I've been trying to thinking of drawing something decent, but I've been having a hard time trying to just focus and scribble.

Thought I would share that with ya all. And I hope to have some updates soon.

I'm working on a new personal site in my spare time and wanted some opinions. This is what I've got so far. Nothing is set in stone, but I'm pretty happy with it so far. Lemme know what sucks.

Working on some environments

I was watching a tutorial that Julian a brother of mine sent me on Feng Zhu. If you are an artist and you want to strengthen your perspective, sit down and listen to his DVD ... MAN... The guy is phenomenal... my opinion... hes a mutant, with powers like that how you going to stop him. Well, anyway I decided to practice on my own stuff, I'm no where near his level YET, but one day!!! These are thumbnails probably much like you would see in story boards, so check it out, I was thinking about several different environments one was an attempt at something mid evil another was an approach on some kinda air transportation station. I was thinking... what if in the future instead of subways there were these above ground stations, and the last one was just a sketchy Feng approach on a city at ant's eye view and those are the images that have a purple look too it. NOW the blue one was a hanger of some kind with an opening inn the roof. the last two images I was inspired by a Disney movie and did these two warehouse shots. To be honest they are just sketches but MAN they were so much fun to do. If you are interested in the guy I'm talking about or the DVD you can see it here http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/dvds/fzh03.html and this DVD doesn't do his work any justice check out his website, http://www.fengzhudesign.com/ man this guys got skills.

SYNERGY!!!

Finally!! I've posted some work, hehehe. This is for a Commission for some one's City Of Heroes Character.
These have been fun to do - a switch from medieval art. Don't get me wrong, I love the fantasy, but tights and a cape never hurt either, hehe. Anyway, be blessed, and more to come.

- Here's the actual Character in the game:


- The pin-up:

DO OR DO NOT THERE IS NO TRY

I was watching starwars and had to do one of my favorite characters

Shitty Spidey

Hey cats. Just a warm up this morning before starting the day. I liked it, even though the anatomy/proportions are fucked up, so I decided to colour it. Enjoy! Well...try to anyways ha ha!

Voltaic - Rough Finish

Hey Guys! I finally re-colored the pic of Voltaic. I colored over the rough pencils as this is not the final piece. I gave him a basic blue jumpsuit as a temporary costume til Caanan and I put on the finishing touches. I'm not a very good inker either but once Caanan and I finish this pic I will ink and re-color it again with his actual costume. I tried some different coloring techniques but I'm still not completely happy with what I can do. Once I re-post the final inked piece I will post both a lineart pic and a finished, colored piece. Once I have posted it, anyone who wants to color the inked image is welcomed to do so. I'm gonna try to have at least one new pic I have done every two weeks or so. The finished costume will not be blue as I have not decided exactly what colors I plan on using in the final piece. Take a gander and let me know what you think! Thanks!

Excellent Artist - another artist i'm going to begin to glean from

This is Art for a new Green latern Series - Art from Ethan Van Sciver.
The way he draws the muscles and renders, is a style I desire to use intergrate into my own. He deos amazing job capturing the human element but still retaining the comic feel. Always reinventing me style, hehe. Never want to be satisfied - stiving to improve. Anyway, just wanted to post to inspire anyone else who just needs another style to study.

be blessed

ps.

I'll be posting some of my art soon, hehe, promise.

Work in Progress: Voltaic

This is a character I created back in high school (11-13 years ago). Voltaic is a being comprised of pure electrical energy. His suit both contains and absorbs the energy that comprises his body. Without his suit he would just be electrical energy in the air. It's been about 3-4 years since I have pencilled anything so please be kind in your critiques. The pic is just the rough pencils without the costume being added yet. I just wanted to get his basic figure down before I added the costume. Like I said, it's been years since I have pencilled anything so perspective is a small problem for me right now. If any pencillers,(Rector, Cadre, EraserX, Caanan) out there would like to take a crack at "re-drawing" this figure with better skill and detail, I welcome it. I am more of a creator/writer/colorist than a penciller. Once I have finished the final pic I will re-post it at a later time. I will take a shot at coloring it as well but if anyone else, (EraserX, Emissary, [hint, hint]) would like to color the piece as well, I'd be proud to have them do so. Thanks everyone!

For small eyes that may be watching HECKBOY!!!

Am I the only one here?

Anyways, I thought I'd post what I've been working on all night. The book is called Downcast and it's being drawn by Andrew Huerta and colored by me. Crit away!

Page 8, finished

Holla.

I've been summoned by the "Guild Master."

Hello everyone, First I've gotta say there is some great talent on this blog!!!! WOW!!! now I'm not really good at this stuff, the blog thing is still new to me... Lets see if I get this right. this is an image I was playing around with... the thoughts behind it are ... What other ways are there to draw a cyclops, the mythical kind not the X-men kind. so I was playing around with a friend of mine and I came up with a few but I decided to paint the two you see. The next few images are versions of bat man I was in the mood to paint ... actually the truth is I'm really new to painting and I'm finding it to be a bit of an addiction hahaha. SO I thought what if I were going to redesign the bat man, just to have fun of course, not that I would stop at these designs these are just the starters. Its amazing incomaparison to the sketches thes went in a little bit of a different direction. I was just doing a study in my down town and finding a reason to play around in painter 10 ( which is also very new to me), Painting is fun and its something I'M LEARNING. A really great friend of mine who is wildly talented is showing me a few things, so these images you see are me in the learning process. so enough talk here are my Batman (paint) sketches I like to call them, ignore the big nose hehehe I'm still working out the kinks .-D-
