My friends Kalia Cheng and Matt Bordenave like to participate in these drawing challenges dubbed the Draw Offs, where the resulting artwork must relate to a theme chosen for that particular Draw Off. This is my first time participating in the challenge. The theme this time around is Gainax, chosen by yours truly. For my submission, we have Nia Teppelin from “Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann,” an anime series that I… Read More »Draw Off #16: Gainax
On Sunday, March 1, I received news that “David Hammerfist: Hammerfists of Fury” won the Audience Award for Best Animated film at the Beverly Hills Shorts Festival. Being a fan of the film, I was ecstatic to hear this, and felt the muses kicking in for some congratulatory fanart. So here’s to the guys of Hammerfist Productions on their awesome win! On another note, no pencils or pens were used… Read More »"Hammerfist" emerges victorious!
OHAY GUYS, YOU KNOW ABOUT THE PEN TOOL!? You know, that tool that a large population of newbie Photoshoppers seem to have nightmares over!? The one whose twin tweaking thingamajigs that pop up when you click an anchor point make you want to slit your wrists and gouge your eyes out!? Well, for the first time ever, I successfully utilized that baby, and, boy, was it a doozy! Two days.… Read More »CLAMP fare
As I’ve been staring at a computer screen for six hours straight, I’m going to keep this short. I wish I was a coloring goddess like Marnie Brumder because then it wouldn’t take me an eternity to finish up a simple drawing in Photoshop. Like the drawing above, which is a birthday present for Christina Manrique. Freakin’ picture took me two days to color! Man, I suck… Happy belated birthday,… Read More »I need to get better at coloring…
I felt like drawing some fanart today, so I settled on drawing characters from Matt Bordenave’s upcoming senior thesis. I don’t know much about it, save for the fact that it’s a sword fight, so I thought I’d draw his characters posing with swords. I’m seriously praying to God that I didn’t just butcher the guy’s characters. I mean, this stuff looks good to me so far, but then, I’m… Read More »Fanart mood
I recently started on a new sketchbook. Here’s the first three pages. The first two are inspired by “Vogue” magazine, while the last is comprised of a series of shots from “Digimon: The Movie” and “Welcome to the N.H.K.”
The final version of the sketch featuring me, Matt Bordenave, and Stu Fullerton. I completed this thing way back in October, but refused to post it until I had changed a few things. Unfortunately, I had other work on my hands, and I ended up forgetting about this piece entirely. While this drawing could use more work, I’m just going to post it up, anyway, since it at least shows… Read More »Not exactly new
I always love it when my friend Kristen posts up a new drawing on her LiveJournal. So I pretty much freaked out when she posted up a new drawing after months of nothing. My cracked-out comment: “OMGILUHAVEMYBABIESPLZ!!!!
I honestly hate the sight of unfinished works on my blog, but then…if I was to wait until all my stuff was finished to post, then updates would be super infrequent. And I don’t like that much, either. So here’s a sketch of my favorite “Bleach” character, Orihime Inoue. Originally, I wanted to color this, but sitting in front of a computer for hours on end is really the last… Read More »Orihime Inoue
I have no clue as to whether or not this sketch is made of win or massive fail. I blame the lack of sleep. Normally, I would abstain from posting unfinished works on here, but it’s been a while since I’ve posted, and I feel bad when the blog gets neglected. At least now we know what my stuff looks like before it’s all cleaned up and colored. So this… Read More »Um…okay…
