Playstation All Star Battle Royal DREAMMATCH

Final-fucking-ly its done, well deadline done, still counts.
This is a mashup of characters that should have been in the Playstation All Star Battle Royal game as most of them were either made famous on Playstation or started our on PS1.

So from top left to bottom right:
-Original Lara Croft vs Original Dante
-Gitaroo Man vs Unjammer Lammy
-Tomba vs Fei Fong Wong
-Dingo Egret vs Model Zero
-Kain vs Alucard
-Crash Bandicoot vs Spyro

i prefer this composition over the other one, was much easier to handle the tablet then.

-Samanoske vs Musashi
-Rudy vs Alundra
-Kazuya Mishima vs Chuji Wu
-Maximo vs Dart


Extra notes:
There's multiple issues with theses but the biggest one im noticing on a personal aspect: Not enough time to personalize each character, to "Cartoonize them" something i need to work on before i take on other parodies.....which arent sketched already that it XD But yet, thats A-MUST.
Other big thing is more rendering practice, if i cant render then i cant really color or it'll feel flat.
Onward with more morning practice but AFTER the convention.

Dragon Crown Drama + Art updates and twists

Bit of talk about the Dragon's Crown arguments popping around all over the place.

Update on the all star pic- flats are in, time for SFX then refining as much as i can before the deadline

Changing the MGR pictures to be more humorous than simple reduxes



i know, i need to change my phone camera - at one point lol

PSAllStarDreamMatch2 update + Phil Phish talk

Dropping down the flats for the all star 2 pic :

And bit-o-talk about The recent Phil Phish incident:

Sony All Star Dreammatch Part-2

Done sketching the second composition:
Much easier to let loose when references are on the screen and the practice sketches for the various characters really helped set the shapes before hand.
Lets see if inking this gets easier as well.

WTF Vergil Part 1

Anyone thought the new DMC was full of character dumbassery? 

Yeaaaaah quite a disappointing butchering of some favorite characters, had to make some fun of the poor scripts.

The Spaniard knight

On going work for a local commission based on don quichote.

Blood Dragon Sketches

Started from a random idea to keep me awake at work, turned into a mass meme within friends - Blood Dragon : 

Hatorade - Delusional Employers

Recent story about dealing with tricky employers who do not care for artist's finances or if they live through the day without eating.

Parody - Space Marine Honor

Dont mess with the Space Marine Armor design - OR ELSE !!!!

Old OOOOOOLD comic made back when THQ looked promising - before the big cut. Sooooo since this was never posted in the company newsletter - MY WORK, MY POST BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA !

Corporate EA style

Because - Really EA ?!

What was in the works + results

Short list :

-New tablet pc acquired
-Prepared prints for a convention
-Tablet drivers finally started working with a recent update
-Setting up a parody animation

Things i noticed:
- Blending pencil rendering with digital coloring is more complex than simply dropping the sketch in a multiply layer with the channel trick.
- Inking in general makes a cleaner combination with the digital coloring.
- leading the eye with shading and volume can help alot.
- I work better when working faster: Less time to halt and think too deeply about certain moves, less restraint, gotta push the halting session after a good hour of working on the piece.
