Updates on the projects i actually kept from both these semesters.

Pencil rendering on arches paper.

Pen and brush ink rendering on linetek 3000:


Clayboard project 1:


Clayboard Project 2:
Self Portrait on bristol(OMG):

Might update the shots later on.

More experimenting, watercolors seem to be as fast as marker, gotta try and get a better control of it as well as blend a bit.

for now more practicing:

More sketches and attempts, been playing around too often tough, ill try and update the remaining semester projects later today.






Gotta ink and marker most of these, more intense training coming up.

You know me, had to go back on these and reinforce this mess, also played with lighting a bit, anyway on with the show.

Bad backgrounds can never be saved by coloring and rendering, last time i jump the guns because of forum comments, the sketching stage remains the most important dammit... anyway, notes taken, mistakes spotted, lets prevent it next time.

Page 2:

Losing page:

Winning page:


Tone test featuring Mokuu-The blaze:Perspective of Angie on void:


Test sketch for the tag team OC battles, Kobo's objective is to lineart it:

Still squiggly inking but getting better on the line weight play, also had to get back the proportions for the blaze since ive lost them while working on the Spark so long.

Fan art for Skulljammer's Superworld Presents-online comic, check it out - http://www.superworldpresents.com/-
Finalizing the model sheet for the spark tomorrow, gonna see if i can save these backgrounds and re-upload the results.

New win and lose pose, colored page 1, penciled page 2 im inking at the moment and more katarina goodness

Im trying to fend off the video game crave, i recently sunk right back in counter strike and half life 2 argh gotta draw, gotta draw.

Semester over, not much to post except some void concepts that im finaliz
ing this week:


Couple of move tryouts:





Failed model sheet, the main mistake being that the concept changed and also i cant seem to brush pen hair for heck, yet i like tmthe type of rendering i did on this, ill have to try and make the shadows darker.


First intro page, this was harder than expected, took me at least 6 attempts before getting this, ill have to cram the importance of massive thumbnailing in my head. It really helped with page 2, but now, another problem, brush pen inking panels is a whole other challenge.

Redesigned character: Gotta see if i can brush pen the new hair but up to now, i got the attitude down.




Copy paste from topic since im lazy to re-type:

"Till then, this character used to life on an islander village until a false prophet foretold that throwing him in the nearest volcano would appease the angry gods as he physical difference makes him a demon among man. He eventually miraculously survived the fall while acquiring an immunity against fire and the ability to create mini explosions where his fists and palm contacts. He didnt go back for revenge but instead spent time living in the forest and protecting its residents (yeah cheesy.) Until trucks began to swarm the area forcing him to fend all of them off and eventually discovering that they came from a company in void city."


"Also did some really quick thumbs for that back story, basically, he was the son of the islander tribe's king/leader who was trying to be one with nature until one day mother Gaia warns him out of the blue that his people isnt treating the earth with care and respect (anyone smells cheese?) of course her appearance scared him away and as he went around trying to tell his tribe about what happened it the fallen prophet took it as advantage and labeled him as a Demon who brought the wrath of gaia upon himself which might ultimately affect the whole tribe. So to popular vote he was sentenced to be cast into the volcano to cleans the tribe of all evil deeds. He couldn't put up much of a fight at that time. He miraculously survived the fall, actually, Mother Gaia prevented his certain death yet in exchange he would have to do he bidding. She imbued him with fire and volcanic abilities (could be a poke at the way he nearly died or how he would get revenge.) with this power came an attitude change. (Fire, anger management requirement, a bit more violent, cocky attitude etc.) So even thought he ows his life to Gaia, he doesn't always follow her to the letter."


Now for the last 5 to 6 days i had my share of video gaming stress relief including online half life mods and PSP games, i think im definatly recovering from the whole semester and ready to attack the work load i have here, including art trades, gift arts, animation projects and void, time to spark ot up!

So much work, even during spring break but i must not stop sketching, screw the whole illustration thing and petty comments on how i only sketch and barely do anything finished, im getting sick of those random classmates getting on my balls about my sketching habits, i nearly snapped on the last person who went " Oh you always draw that character" sure for some you can simply draw a character standing and smiling and its done but for me to get deeper in animation, i gotta study and create some kind of personality for the character. And that cant be done in 1 sketch can it. 100 fuck ups for 1 good sketch, thats what it takes. Anyway, im still up for entervoid tough, ill be abusing my markers on those comic book pages, till then, i resketched my win and lose poses and im taking on the first intro page right now. I also blazed throught my school projects, i had enough of wasting time on them, passing great goes, more time to use what i learn on animation and comic type work to build up a REAL portfolio. No industry would look at a collage inside a portfolio and take the artist seriously. Really hahahah.





ALRIGHT time to sketch some more !

Flooded with projects atm, around 5 at the same time with random essays sneaking up on me time after time. Already handed in a rendering project a technical drawing perspective assignement, a clayboard project, a color project and i gotta hand in that inking project tomorrow. Then time to study animal heads since ill have to mold one into clay to create a hybrid clay piece, long story and ill try to take a picture whenever i can.

-Current objectives:

[Urgent comission attempt] : Low on cash and its time to get serious.
-Brush pen practice
-Value practice : Time to get down with it since i wont be able to do a thing in color if i dont get a grip of value.
-Marker practice: Basic shapes THEN l33t characters.
-Watercolor pencil practice: Time to make something better than that last portfolio
-Animal and human anatomy sacrifice: As BlueRaptor told me, gotta sacrifice some parts of the anatomy to emphasise certain actions, lets go.

[Void objectives]
-Using the techniques above, finalize character sheets and intro panels.















I might not post till next month or study break, till then feedback is big help, you can be sure ill practice on it. Gotta thank Hen-Hen, Blue Raptor and Viper for the straight on criticism. Now time to ATTACK ATTACK ATTAAAAAAAAAAAAACK ! *quietly works on the school projects.*
