Enter the new year

Hey guys,

Happy New Year! Can't believe it's almost February, time is flying by too fast.

Here are a couple of sketches of a personal project I'm working on. A Sci-Fi, Bounty Hunter Tale. In it there's a Mob Boss who has two female bodyguards, one an alien girl and another one a human. Here's a stab at the human one.

For her I was inspired by Mercy (Lex Luthor's Bodyguard) and also from different Fashion collections. This one in particular was inspired by Alexander Wang's F/W 2010 collection. I like the direction where this is going, but it seems too military or rigid for me, maybe even to air hostess like. Also not very practical as it seems too tight for her to fight in. I'm still working on her and her alien companion so there's plenty more time for trial and error.

I just wanted to share this quickly and also ask you guys a question. I enjoy painting or drawing clothes and in particular folds the most. I find it very relaxing and a real challenge at the same time. is there anything that you guys like drawing the most? why so?

Thanks for dropping by,

end of the year

hey guys,

Fantastic Four Environment

Hi,

Here's a small sample of what I have been working on. I modeled the environment in 3D and painted over. I've added the rough sketch i did for lighting exploration.

The characters I wanted to play with their designs. Make their uniforms more astronaut like and also a hint of snow boarding. For Sue she is the captain so I gave her the red stripes and Ben i wanted to make for ape like and squared.

Let me know what you guys think,

Hi,

I was trying to learn to use 3s MAX at work, and so I decided to build a German occupied town in WWII. I know it's a touchy subject, so to set the record straight, I think that what happened in WWII was really horrible and I don't believe in what the Nazi's did.

I've always thought the red banners though, made for great graphical points of interest so I wanted to use that for these studies.

In order to push myself I wanted to draw a daylight and night time scenes building upon the 3D geometry. Zdepth was pretty fun and quite helpful to have as a channel selection.


I think I need to work more on my composition skills, get that foreground, mid and background to work a bit better. But I did learn a lot.


Anyways, hope you guys like it.

Pencil Sketches

Hello everyone,

It's been a while. I've been in South America on Holiday and tomorrow I'm happy to report that I will be back in Canada as a permanent resident!! That means no more visas, no more work permits!!! I'm super happy and looking forward to the freedom the residency will give me.

I haven't drawn with pencil since 2006 and with line since more than a year, so I had to get reaquanted with the pencil and the fact that there's no undo button while I've been here on vacation.

Still reading Fafhrd and the grey Mouser. Here are a couple of snow women sketches as well as a couple of vlana and fafhrd himself. Hope you guys dig them.

I draw with a 3H lead so sorry for the poor quality scans : /

Return to Lankhmar

Recently I've been reading Fritz Leiber's stories of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser stories and I really liked Mignola's take on the characters. So the other night while trying to play with color I ended up drawing this fun image. another fan art piece for you.

I really like this world, so I think I might explore it a bit more. Would make for an awesome movie.
