Monday Round-Up 8/22: pin-ups!

Have some sexy new sketches!

I did some pin-ups recently. Here they are, colored!

Zedd Waves

Hey! I'm going to have a blogpost tomorrow, but for now I wanted to show off this illustration I did based off an idea from the Ranger Danger podcast. Lord Zedd challenging the rangers to surf-off at the beach! It's a cool podcast talks about all the classic Power Rangers episodes and you should totally listen to it if you like Power Rangers.

Monday New Year Art Dump

Hey! It's the New Year! We now live in the future of 2015! I can't believe I haven't done a new blogpost yet. WHOOPS. Well some of my new years goals were to draw everyday so here are some of the better recent sketches I did! FUTURE SKETCHES THAT IS.

She Hulk! I think she came out pretty nicely. More after the FUTURE jump!

Friday Round-Up: 30 Characters Highlight

It's Friday! Here are some of the 30 characters I did, colored.

More characters after the jump!

Monday Sketch Dump 5/12

A new Monday brings new sketches! Check out these honies:

 Miles Morales Ultimate Spider-Man. Man those lines are not easy to do without photoshop. More after the jump!

Freakazoid and Wonder Woman

Hey there! Since I was close to 500 followers, I made a deal that if I reached it by the end of last week, I'd do a cool Freakazoid illustration, so here it is!

I also colored in this tiny Wonder Woman!

Also also last week, I reviewed 2 Days in the Valley and Asphalt Jungle on Sketched Screenings, so check those out if you haven't already!

And that leads into NOIR WEEK! 5 noir movies reviewed every day this week! Starting today! So expect that to pop in later on Sketched Screenings!

editorial illustrations

Oh hey look a Thursday post! What a special day! Anyways, I had to do some illustrations for my Careers in Illustration class so I thought I'd show them off!

Pie Art

Happy New Year! So I haven been super busy finishing illustrations and also going to Magfest, but now I have finally gotten home! And now I'm sick. But anyways, here is the stuff I've been working on!

I realized I haven't done much X-Men art, so I did a poster of some of my favorite X-Men with all the X-Men names! No there's no Wolverine, I don't have any interest in drawing Wolverine. More after the jump!

Illustrated Friday: Sif and the Warriors Three

This took way longer than expected but I think it was worth it for the colors! So a while back I was talking with some twitterpeeps and I was suddenly struck with the awesome idea a cartoon about Sif and the Warriors Three being a punk-rock band but also traveling around, solving mysteries and fighting monsters. It would be like Thor+Jem and the Holograms+Josie and the Pussycats! And I finally made this poster for that. I'm also thinking Heimdel would be their band manager.

I would watch the crap out of that show.

Illustrated Friday: HULK SMASH

This isn't actually a new illustration, it's from my review of The Avengers last year,  But I combined the Banner and Hulk posters together and added some more effects and think it came out quite nice! I'm not sure why I didn't do it this way in the first place. HULK SMASH.

Illustrated Friday: Burn Baby Burn

Oh hey I worked this to a point where I don't hate it!

What do you think of the colors?

Illustrated Friday: Mystery Inc. International

Hey a new Illustration is out today! Lookit it!

I colored in the ink version I did a little while ago(what do you want for me I'm at NYCC!!). I had an idea of doing a Scooby Gang with more people of color. Not that there's anything wrong with the original, but it's aloooottta white people. African-American Fred, Indian-American Daphne, Japanese-American Vemla, and Jewish Shaggy. I thought about making Scooby a Corgi, but it would kind of ruin the whole "Big dog is a scaredy-cat" dynamic. Maybe I'll do a more graphical version for posters and shirts later! What do you guys think?

Illustrated Friday: NightVale poster 2

Oh hey! I made another Nightvale poster about one of my favorite underrated characters!

Not as detailed as the last one, but still interesting. Also here's a variation:

Illustrated Friday: Nightvale Poster

Hey guys! Regular followers of mine might be wondering why there's no Friday Sketched Screenings post. That's because I'm cutting down to one review a week so I can focus more time on doing cool illustrations! And I'm starting it this Friday with a cool Fan Nightvale poster!

If you're not already a fan of the amazing podcast Welcome to Nightvale, it's a crazy podcast about a small desert town in which strange occurrences happen regularly and without warning. It's a mix of Twin Peaks, Alan Wake, and The Twilight Zone, and it's probably the funniest, creepiest, smartest, heart-filled podcast out there. If you ARE a fan, then you'll know all about the Vague Yet Menacing Government Agency and the important work they do, so I designed a badge for them! I was going to do feathers on the batwings but it became a bit too complicated. I think it turned out really well! I really like how the wings and banner form the outline of the classic Nightvale eye. Check out the rough version:

I have other ideas for Nightvale stuff, so this may not be the last Nightvale-themed illustration. See you guys on Monday!

BIIIIG art dump post

I've been slacking on the art blog updates. Here's what I've been up to for the past few months!

This is a poster I did for a friend's band, The Jack and Queen. I think it turned out pretty good! Very dramatic. One might even say...noiry? Anyways they have a show this Saturday and you should totally check them out.  More after the jump!

More Spider-Woman

I started this out as a warm-up sketch but then I just ended up running with it. More Symbiote Spider-Woman! I used reference from SenshiShock on DeviantArt.

Dark Knight and Moon Knight

So last week I finished an illustration I've been working on and off since December:

It's my submission to Relaunched!, though I don't know when or if they're going to showcase it, so I'm posting it here now. I don't love the background, but I don't hate it. Also, man stuff in illustrator takes forever!

Synopsis:
With Gotham quieting down, Bruce Wayne takes Wayne industries to New York for a short stint so Batman can clean up the mean streets of New York! Little did he know that it already had a white knight protector, the Moon Knight! As both heroes and men of intrigue, with the same goals in mind, they decide to  team up to fight crime together as The Dark Knight and the Moon Knight! 

In this premiere double-blotch issue, they must investigate the strange and gruesome deaths of...criminals?!  Some masked vigilante known as "Rorschach" is going around murdering thieves, crooks and killers in cold blood!  Can they work together to stop this maniac? And should they?

Wrath of the boards

I have some fancy new things to show! Not a lot becuase I've been working on some stuff I want to keep under wraps and also been busy retooling my resume and such, but I do have some stuff related to Sketched Screenings!

Look at that beautiful storyboard! So many lines, but so worth it!

Haywire poster

I've been working on this illustrated Haywire poster on and off for 2 weeks for my review. It's finally finished! In retrospect, it was WAY more work that I thought it would be, and I definitely should have planned it out better.

I also wanted to show the different stages I went through in creating it. More after the jump!

Spidermen

Hey, you remember this sketch of Skinny Spidey, right?

 Well, I've been working on a few different versions over the last week...
