Pup Pup Walk Walk

11 frame quick animation again. This time I did my very very very first quad walk cycle. It's got issues still and there's zero secondary animation, but hey...it's a first for me, so nyah nyah.

Another real quick looped animation I did on a break at work. Including a couple of tweaks total time is about 20 minutes. 11 Frames.

dance dance dance

I haven't animated people in a VERY long time and I did this as an hour piece to try and shake the cobwebs loose.

Just a blondie doing a looped dance.

It has many issues, but for an hour I'm okay with it.

Look but don't touch

Quick flash piece today with a touch of photoshop.

10 minute break doodle

legend of zelda

So recently I had some art theft done to me. okay so a little backstory on this one. I was thinking about the art thieving going on and I got introspective. I've run across people who ref'd my work and drew their own thing generally using the lines I threw down. And all I ask there is for a link back to the original piece. But the out and out theft of a piece I'm not cool with.

So I thought back to my own days of tracing...I was 7 years old. It was 1986 and Legend of Zelda just came out. I was in love with the artwork in the game booklet and traced the characters from it and transpose it onto lined paper and made a comic out of it. Despite looking very similar to Link, 'my' guy Zin was pinker with white hair and a purple tunic. I giggled thinking back to how I traced back then and somehow it led me back to my old comic where Zin was a rogue hero who was out to save Zelda and in a way competing with link.


well it's 2009 now and Zin won

Cutey Honey Doodle bug

More doodling buggin at lunch today

Doodle Bug

After wrapping up my portfolio I haven't had much time to really draw other than work stuff. So I've been managing to get out some doodle stuff real fast. These are all mostly 15 minute sketches.

Black Widow

Nightwing TAS part three

Inspector Dudley Soames and a revision to the Double Dare girls.

Nightwing TAS : Double Dare

Another design sheet done. Unfortunately I'm not happy with how this one turned out. It's a little too 'on model' comic wise and a little bland in the end for what I'm intending for this series. So I'll be posting up a totally different direction for these girls later.

Nightwing The Animated Series

Okay so not really. It's just a series of character designs I did up for updating my portfolio.

(Edit, Added Alfred)

Abigail

The first gal in my A,B,C's of girls book that I'm currently putting together.

Wolverine Redeux

This needed to be redone haha. On the left is today. On the right is 2002.

7 years makes a difference.

2009 Sketchbook sneak peek

This will be a full color book. Each page will be a girl named after a letter of the alphabet...that didn't make sense...

Anyhow this is Abigail, Beatriz and Cora. The first three gals of the book in their current WIP form.

These will first be available for sale at Anime Expo 2009. I may send some with friends to SDCC pre-signed since I won't be there. It'll depend on who's available to do some selling for me.

Also instead of leaving a page to draw in like I did the past couple years *since paper can be flimsy and there always ends up with bleedthrough, I'll be bringing with me some blank index cards for free sketches to go into the sketchbook with each sale.

ALSO (whew) I'll be having some postcard prints made up of a few of the girls from the book as well as some larger prints. Prices to follow...

Darkstalkers Tribute

Well I sent in my tribute submission a few days back. Just waiting to hear back now.

I won't be posting the full piece on the off chance it gets into the book. But for now here's a lil preview piece of it.

Really excited to know that the only animated show I've worked on so far is doing really well.
