Picture Journal: February 13, 2012 (Weight for the Drop)

The clashing of metal on metal truly is soul-crushing. I've failed deadlifts and benches as well, but a squat failure just feels so super shitty.

The pun in the title refers to the bass drop in electronic music, following a totally sweet build-up.

DRIVE Fan Art

Follow me on tumblr now! Thanks

Ink and watercolor on watercolor paper, Digital

Another character with a distinctive jacket since I've been thinking about distinctive jackets lately. I saw DRIVE for the first time recently and it blew me away for serious. Wish I had drawn the car bigger, but I thought it wouldn't be recognizable since a lot of it would have been cropped off. Originally I was going to use the actual colors of the movie but I just liked the watercolors so much I stuck with it. Here's the original:

A REAL HUMAN BEING, AND A REAL HUMAN HERO

Shank

Watercolor, Acrylic on Watercolor paper

Here is a poorly lit but slightly retouched image of my contribution to the latest Weavver Gallery show, "Pairings".  Below are some detail shots because why not. There's a noticeable shift in color around the breast area/body of lamb on the first two images but not in the third image. That's because I can't properly light an image for shit and that's why I'm not a photographer (yet).

Picture Journal: February 1, 2012 (Hourly Comic Day)

February 1 is Hourly Comic Day. Basically, the idea was to create a a comic every hour, on the hour. I think I did pretty okay.

AKIRA Fan Art

Ink, Watercolor, Digital

Shamefully I still haven't read Akira (only watched the film version), but Otomo Katsuhiro has been on my mind lately so here's Kaneda. Also I wanted to draw someone with a distinctive jacket.

Here's the paper version:

TETSUOOOO!!!

Picture Journal: January 26, 2012 (Successfully Drinking)

I don't really drink, but since I've decided to start learning to cook and enjoy all the awesome foods in the world I thought it was important to expand my palate. Hopefully it doesn't come across as a "HEY GUYS I DRANK ALCOHOL," story.

Shamefully I haven't been doing this as often due to lack of time. I've been trying new things out and reading mostly. Plus there's been a lack of interesting story topics, which seems contradictory since I've been trying new things out. But I'll get back on updating more.

Also if anyone is in Downtown Santa Ana Friday, February 3rd for the art walk I'll be contributing a piece to the weavver gallery, so stop by! Otherwise I'll have it up shortly.
