FINALLY! A posting on the blog. Certainly has been awhile, and why not re-open the blogging account with my favorite superhero?!?! I'd worked on this one awhile back and saved out some of the stages. Good to be back.

Everyone's a character

2008-12-17T21:42:00.001-08:00

Some more random characters that I may develop more.

A sketch here and there

2008-12-17T20:48:00.000-08:00

Wow, it's been a long time. Been drawing, but not posting, so it's time to do some of the latter. Here's a collage of random characters.

Drawing WIP

2008-02-22T19:16:00.001-08:00

Still wanting to give these color, but the lines are laid.

Heads and an Old Master

2008-02-07T18:28:00.000-08:00

cartoony toon heads, an aging kung fu master. I mean what in the heck else do you want from life???

Bunny Love

2008-02-01T01:09:00.001-08:00

Valentines Day is coming up, and what does this lucky lil' bunny get? A bouquet of carrots from her man.

Flamin' Lion

2008-01-31T00:04:00.001-08:00

This Lion is so mad, HE'S ON FIRE! If he ever cools down, I might color him someday.

Track Star

2008-01-30T00:11:00.001-08:00

He spots the finish line! He's overjoyed! He's about to win the one-man race.

Jimi Redux

2008-01-07T14:37:00.000-08:00

Old drawing of mine that I scanned in, pieced together, and photoshopped for xmas presents. The old drawing was from '99 and looked faded without much contrast. I painted some shadows in a bit to bring the face out.

Ninja convict, Fat bastard, Football beast

2008-01-02T22:29:00.000-08:00

A month of no posts. Sad. Back for 2008 with more completely random drawings. No inspiration, just crazy imagination for these characters. Happy New Years to all!!! Let the bloggin' flow. (small additions by the notorious add-on drawer, Cesar Bravo).

Figurin' it out?

2007-12-05T23:51:00.001-08:00

These are the last of my drawings from the Karl Gnass figure drawing class. I had a great time with the class and learned a lot. It really felt good to practice and draw more of the human figure because once you have the foundation, you can go off and create your own characters. Like everything else, you've got to keep practicing.

Oh wait, there's more....

2007-11-25T18:41:00.001-08:00

This time with tone paper.

More...

2007-11-25T18:38:00.000-08:00

More figure drawings from class.

Doodin' Around

2007-11-24T00:00:00.000-08:00

There's been too many figure drawings lately and not enough doodles. I had to put an end to it.

Cannonball!!!

2007-11-06T21:42:00.001-08:00

Kind of a random drawing that sparked this scene. Thought I'd draw a big hairy crazy guy totally stoked on his dismount and form of the cannonball.

Go Figure!

2007-10-30T00:16:00.000-07:00

Latest figure drawings from class. Last few weeks were the males...yes!

Back to School

2007-10-12T00:23:00.000-07:00

Taking a figure drawing class with Karl Gnass to hone the skills and have some fun. Here are some sketches.

Slouch Potato

2007-09-07T19:09:00.001-07:00

Started this at a meeting, the body came next and the couch last. This is D-Bart being dismissive. He'll soon be watching an Everton game, wondering why they're getting clobbered by West Ham.

Doodles While Blastin'

2007-09-04T23:41:00.001-07:00

Random little collage...inspired by playblast time at work. I like the Indian with the 'hawk who's ready to chop. The old man looks like Professor Xavier from X-men at the school's X-mas party.

Sketch Crawl Guys

2007-09-04T23:38:00.001-07:00

Went to my first sketch crawl the other weekend...showed up a bit late so I didn't see too many sketchers, but little Tokyo had some interesting things to draw that day.

Bluesey man

2007-08-14T20:30:00.000-07:00

Was thinking about Friday night karaoke and this blues guy wailin' away. Can't you hear the sweet sounds...

Pantolones con ojos

2007-08-14T20:28:00.001-07:00

This one started as a figure drawing that grew into pants with eyes and crazy Siamese twins.

ComiCon Doods

2007-08-14T20:26:00.001-07:00

Bored at ComiCon and looking for things to draw. Random peeps and a superhero made it on the page.

Runaway hand

2007-08-14T20:25:00.001-07:00

Random sketch time. The blue man must evade the evil red hand.

Lady with the Lamp

2007-07-17T00:31:00.001-07:00

Another drawing on the plane. I can never sleep so it passes the time away.

Unlikely pair

2007-07-17T00:05:00.001-07:00

What started off as two random drawings became this classic scene. I drew the bear-looking thing, Cesar Bravo gets credit for the bird.

PieRat

2007-07-17T00:00:00.000-07:00

Began drawing this guy at work and finished him on a plane flight. He's very upset because nobody did the laundry and he's stuck wearing his sweaty shirt and dirty pants. Same old belt buckle.

Shocker Warrior

2007-06-20T23:37:00.001-07:00

I am not responsible for drawing this, but the coloring was all me. The new mascot of the FC Shockers.

Indian Drummer

2007-06-19T19:16:00.001-07:00

This guy evolved from a random face, to Ringo Starr, to an Indian bongo drummer. I wanted to name him Samir, after my fellow co-worker. Get Back, He's droppin' beats!

Ninja Crawler

2007-06-19T19:14:00.001-07:00

Did this one awhile back. Wanted to do some forced perspective. I think Spiderman trailers were everywhere too.

Random Marks

2007-06-19T19:12:00.001-07:00

The mind of me...when you got nothing to do, the imagination starts running.

Petie

2007-06-19T19:08:00.001-07:00

Saw the old Disney classic and was moved to do a quick sketch. I have no idea what he's doing, but the happy thoughts are flowing.

Cool Pics

2007-05-13T20:19:00.000-07:00

A friend of mine has been really getting into photography lately and she's got a cool online album (www.flickr.com/photos/noodlerompics). Check it out. I saw this picture, liked the character and mood, and had to draw it.

Running Man

2007-05-01T21:33:00.000-07:00

Late night drawing...couldn't fall asleep and this guy started to run off the page. Had to catch him and ink him. Probably one of the better poses I've done.

Doods

2007-05-01T21:29:00.000-07:00

Letting the time pass during 'blastin'. It was a random day.

Important instructions

2007-04-27T00:21:00.000-07:00

Dug this one up from the College assignment archives. This was my spin on "how do you eat your reeses?". I'm thinking of making a poster of it and selling it to kindergarten teachers around the world. Cha-Ching$$$$!

Unfair fight

2007-04-26T19:00:00.000-07:00

Another weird evolving drawing. Never thought it'd be Mike Tyson Punch-Out all over again. The little guy's toast.

Maid

2007-03-29T18:48:00.000-07:00

Picked a name from the blue head and this character popped out. Literally, she was linving in it and cleaning it the whole time! 'Twas a bit dusty up in there.

Unsure Man

2007-02-14T01:11:00.000-08:00

Tried to be cartoony with this guy but clung to the anatomy lessons that keep running through my head. This guy is supposed to be super-human, but doesn't really have any super powers. He doesn't know who his alter ego is, yet enjoys wearing designer costumes. Is he a bird? No. Is he a plane? Nope. He is......Unsure Man!

Wart-Hog

2007-02-14T00:57:00.000-08:00

Started something and just kept drawing. This guy evolved into a meaner cousin of Beebop, Rocksteady's sidekick from TMNT. Oh, and he's too cool for the sunglasses.

Asian Guy

2007-01-30T23:42:00.000-08:00

New character I've been working on. I found a sketch that my buddy did and had to make him in 3d. Not sure if I'll keep his head so big, makes animating him a challenge. Any thoughts on how this guy should move?

Your name goes here...

2007-01-29T12:13:00.000-08:00

Name tag day at work...pretty much self-explanatory. Didn't mean to, but drew myself as a hobbit...freudian slip? It's possible.

Back to the Figure

2007-01-23T21:55:00.000-08:00

Lately been brushing up on anatomy, need to keep drawing.....

Ale from a fountain??? Brilliant!

2007-01-16T22:58:00.000-08:00

Lucky Leprachaun enjoying a mug of ale from the statue man in the fountain....thanks, statue man.

D-evil

2007-01-13T22:01:00.000-08:00

Started sketching and couldn't stop. Compelled by the dark side.

Lord of the...?

2007-01-13T21:38:00.000-08:00

Old drawing I found of a ring...decided to do some Photoshoppin'.

Lumberjack

2007-01-05T20:03:00.000-08:00

Lumberjack with his flapjacks...yum-yums.

Wedding Gift

2007-01-04T11:42:00.000-08:00

This piece has been a long time in the making, but finally finished it a few weeks ago. I'm giving it to some very good friends for a wedding present that happened almost 2 years ago. Yeah, it's a little overdue.

Mafia Bum?

2007-01-04T11:17:00.000-08:00

This guy was supposed to be an Italian mafia guy, not really sure what he is now.

Little King

2006-12-20T21:46:00.000-08:00

"King & Queen" for the daily sketch. This guy looks a bit young to take the throne...short and stout however.

Dino

2006-12-20T03:22:00.000-08:00

Daily sketch was a dinosaur...this guy came next.

Cartoony Me

2006-12-20T02:19:00.000-08:00

Had fun with a scanner and decided to morph and paint myself.

Saxaphonist

2006-12-19T10:07:00.000-08:00

Musician guy for a daily sketch at work.

Productivity @ Work

2006-12-14T11:36:00.000-08:00

A lovely way to pass the time during meetings and waiting for renders.

Yosemite Hikes

2006-12-07T12:16:00.000-08:00

Took my first trip to Yosemite, pretty amazing place. This was drawn at the top of Sentinel Dome.

It's a bird, it's a plane...

2006-11-19T23:41:00.000-08:00

Dingbat breathes life! I've worked out a few wing cycles and I'm happy with this one.

Jimi

2006-11-19T22:00:00.000-08:00

My favorite lefty-guitarist, this one dates back to highschool. I saw the world as tiny little squares after that.

Salidor

2006-11-19T21:56:00.000-08:00

Character design for a short animation I did in school. I was on a LOTR nerd binge.

Album art

2006-11-19T21:41:00.001-08:00

My buddy wanted me to come up with a logo for their first album cover. They're a metal band so the design had to be wicked and hellish (they can be seen and heard at www.severedmusic.com and www.myspace.com/severedmusic). Another tree design???

Liza

2006-11-10T23:25:00.000-08:00

This is a character from George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion that I was doing rigging and texturing for.

Interests

2006-11-10T23:21:00.000-08:00

Another old drawing I did in college taken with the digi camera (notice the beautiful framing).

Tree Drawing

2006-11-10T23:18:00.000-08:00

Drew this as a gift for my Dad's b-day. He likes nature.

Old stuff

2006-11-10T23:14:00.000-08:00

Drawing I did a few years back about sleep.

Bat Creature

2006-11-06T13:55:00.000-08:00

Meet "Dingbat", a creature I've been doing in my down time at work. He's in the test animation phase now and getting ready for a fight scene.

Salutations!

2006-11-06T00:32:00.000-08:00

First sign on to this thing, so here we gooooo.....
