When in mind numbing stress just start drawing. I'm enjoying how this idea is coming along on paper

Storyboard Time Prt3

Did this one right after I saw Batman:Bad Blood(Good movie; Better than Batman vs Robin). Took inspiration from the Batman Year One cover by David Mazzucchelli. I really need to make these drawings a lot darker so you can see the little details.

The Day Before My Birthday!

There are no word's to describe how good it feels to draw in my Moleyskin again(it feels like my fingers are making look with the paper). Anyway my BIRFDAY IS LESS THAN 13 hours!!!!!

I was going for a Mr. Freeze look with the big metallic body and a floating head in a glass helmet, but I don't know. It doesn't really look like him but I like it though. 

 

Hope You Enjoy!

13hrs Til My Birthday

 

OCTOBER TIME

Man it's been a while since I had time to actually post something. Hope to have a slew of drawings & what not posted up for you guys, but until then here's a few drawings I did during the summer.

Hope You Enjoy
14 More Days Til My Birthday

Her name is Dinah

     Back when I was in my principles of 2D animation class we finally started the character animation portion of the class(YAY), but in order to do that we had to design our own character for it.

      Very early on I wanted her name to be Dinah, because A.) It's fun to say B.) Black Canary's name is Dinah( for a long time I thought it was Dana) & C.) I found out the Din
ah is Hebrew for Judgment.
   This was the first set of designs for me trying to figure out how I wanted her to look. The one on the far left looked way to much like Eva Green so that wasn't right. The middle one was to rocker chick with the bangs, but the one on the right was the closest to the design I was looking for.

Finally after looking through references like Showcase & Conceal, the beautiful Golshifteh Farahani & some Robert Valley love I found the look I wanted

So hopefully by now you guys are aware of the way I draw(Because I felt like a piranha when I showed the designs off in class). I'm the only one who didn't draw something that looked like it could've been in a Disney cartoon(Very awkward but I still stuck with her design).

 The first thing we did was make them walk which was fucking difficult to do because I couldn't find any good references to model after because most people have more "ANIMATION FRIENDLY" designs, so the closet I got was a walk cycle from Tron Uprising. Not too bad right.

Then it was time to do the character acting & I wasn't happy how it came out

    Wasn't my best work at all and definitely helped me enforce the fact that I don't want to be an animator, but rather an animation artist (you know doing anything else except making them move). After all of that I'm still proud of the fact I kept with my design and did something that wasn't like everyone else. Well that's about all I have to say about this so as always

This coloring thing

Used the old Flash drawing from what 2011(Shit this drawing is old)? Trying to learn how to color digitally ( really color in general) it's such a long as process trying to understand this and the Bamboo tablet i'm using to color.

Instagram http://ift.tt/1VDkJqa

Old drawings never seen to the public.

 So yeah I completely don't know on the "why", but never did post these drawings(probably more) I did( really don't know why I didn't post them).




     Drew this the night before I went to SCAD 2 years ago
Of course you see Bats & Robs and on the other side is a drawing of a character from this amazing show called
SLiDE.




The Green Lantern of the Future: Kai Ro; 1 of 3 drawings I like in this sketchbook I haven't touch since I scanned it(and that was awhile ago).

Drew this maybe three years ago(had to have been see the Tron looking guy?) I think I was watching Power Rangers Ninja Strom marathon on Nicktoons

Hope You Enjoy

Reverse

So last week during a Memorial Day barbecue I started doing a doodle of the Flash but slowly it became a drawing of the Reverse Flash(who does he look like to you?).Really loved the hell out of The Flash. The show has been consistently well done and the finale was spectacular.

 

Hope You Enjoy

DC's Nightwing

      The same drawing I was working on Thursday. I drew him with the stupid disco collar look, don't know why(didn't help I was also watching Saturday Night Fever as I drew the rest of this).

Hope You Enjoy

Instagram drawing

Watching season 1 of Arrow and now I got the hero drawing jitters. #drawing #latenight #art #pencildrawing #pencil #dccomics #thearrow

BATGIRL

    I don't give a flying(you know what) what anyone thinks about the movie but Batman & Robin is one of my favorite movies from my childhood. And most of all hands down the COOLEST MOVIE BATSUITS EVER( Nolan Suits are the second best)!!!
        Also this is the only movie where I can see Batman, Robin(who in this movie should be Nightwing) & Batgirl all kicking ass in style. So yeah that's my 2 cents on the subject.
                                    Hope You Enjoy!

Some Art Goodies

Hey everybody, here's a little something to share for you guys.

Some doodles done at a restaurant one night(This is not Mickey Mouse, I repeat This is not Mickey Mouse).

 

Once again trying to get Chris Sander's AMAZINGLY AWESOME STYLE under my belt & I must say this is pretty dam good. I really dig how her hair came out; kind of reminds me of 80's style Starfire.

 

                                                            This one I just felt like doing a pattern and drawing a very Rocafort style ship.

Hope You Enjoy

October BABY!!!

So freakin happy it's finally October! The weather gets cooler, the sky looks prettier( things just feel better) & most importantly....MY BIRTHDAY!!!!! Best time of the year will always be the month I was born in(Scorpio POWAH). Here's a couple of drawings, nothing major.

 Playing around with Batgirl's traditional look & adding my two cents like her costume(And no this is not retaliation against the new costume that was announced), hair & chin( gave her that clef chin that Jessica Chastain has(Grrrrrr)).

 

 This guy was fun to make up,definitely diggin the costume. It should be Obvious he is a rejected Power Ranger who couldn't get on the show(But still looks badass).

Well that's it for today I'll have some more stuff to post later, until then

Hope You Enjoy
