I draw; who knew?

Here are some rough sketches. Not necessarily the best, but ones that at least have been taken past the point of incomprehensible crapage.

Yeaglesque (well, not really)

Well here's an attempt at some color (aside from the obvious attempt to destroy a classic style). I also fixed her hands, though I still don't think the right hand is posed as good as it can be.

Sorry Mr. Yeagle

Ole! 2 (Mexico Pics!!!)

Finally got the pics from my brother. The hotel we were staying at is a couple minutes south of Rosarito, Mexico. Very nice area; I recommend it.

This is the view from our hotel room. Absolutely gorgeous as you can see. They have many weddings here as seen on the bottom left.

Me and my brothers; to the right, my younger brother Ido and on the far right, my older brother Danny. It was Danny's 30th b-day hence the main reason for the trip.

Me looking fabulous as usual.

This is a staircase leading down to the surf. When we first got there the surf got up to about 10ft in size. Notice all the people surfing aren't anywhere near the farthest wave out...There's good reason for that as we soon found out.

Lunch at the hotel restaurant.

Lunch didn't quite do it for me soooo...

Save me Jebus!

All in all a nice way to finish the trip before you have to scamper across the border avoiding the night (and a stab wound to the back, Ole!)

Girlies!!!..again!

Felt like drawing some more girlies recently, checkin' out every retro-styled girlie site on the web. Trying to loosen up the style on my girls and allow for more flow and line economy.

So after checking out some of Dean Yeagle's work (interlaced with frequent sobbing and disgust with my own work), I decided to try a few Yeaglesque girls. Here's one which by no means comes close (reference would of helped). The hands, especially the left one, still bother me so I may go back and redo them:



This is another attempt to loosen up my girls (without resorting to the usual double Martini laced with roofies). I especially like the simplicity of her legs which is quite unusual for me. The color turned out pretty well too. And thanks to Yeagle for inspiring the "Torpedo" retro-breasts.

Brilliant, blinding color

Quickie

I wanted to take that wacked-out guy a little further. Drew the layout all within Photoshop using my new Intuos 4! The sensitivity is insane!!!

On The Run

Ole!

Well, came back back from Mexico and I realized one thing: I had no head to have had decapitated in the first place. Long story short, I got torn apart by large surf, ate great Mexican food and just had an overall great, murder-less time south of the border. I'll get the pics posted as soon as I can get them from my brother.

Here's my second pass on the girl below w/color:


...and here's another color of a sketch in the previous post:

I prefer my head stay on my shoulders, gracias.

OK, I wanted to get one last post into the month of July before I ventured to the deep, blackened heart of The Mexican Amazonian Coastline. That's 4 posts in July!!!! A new world record!

Oh yeah, so I'm going down to Rosarito for some surfeage, some fun in the sun, maybe a decapitation or two; all great fun! A deserted sandy beach with hidden dismembered bodies just seemed a little more tempting than being shoulder-to-shoulder with geeky nerds, what with their Moon Knight outfits and various robot fetishes. I'll be back probably late next week or so with some kick ass pics.

So here's a second pass at that one girl. Fixed a couple things thanks to the wonderful, malicious attempts of Matt Long to destroy that which I hold dear. The right leg definitely bothered me more than anything, though now her foot, shall I say, offers an interesting silhouette? Judge for yourself:


21st Century Schizoid Maaaaaaaaan!


Adios.

My Father, The Red Cyclone

Wow, it feels goooooooood to draw a variety of things for a change. Like take for example the greatest Street Fighter character ever, Zangief. No reference, no research, no countless hours of nude self studies in front of the mirror. I just felt like drawing him and I just did it; what a concept, huh? And better yet he looks like absolute shit and I could care less (so no crit necessary on this one Matt, ha). Only in America (or possibly the former Soviet Union)!

The last thing you see before your lifeless body flies spinning through the air, your head, shattered like so many foolish hopes and dreams.


May color this one, but probably not.

Tal sayeth "Let There Be Colorth!"

Here's the color version of the sketch below; trying to experiment with different lighting techniques...I think she turned out pretty well.

The one good thing I've ever done!...Uhhh, 2.

Ok so It's been a while but for good reason. Pitch numero dos has been completed and is awaiting final printing! It's an action/adventure/comedy show entitled "The Mindscape Anthologies" and it KICKS ASS!!!! I have some time now so I'll try to get some of it online (as well as some stuff from the first pitch). Definitely more posts coming soon.

So months of inactivity have rendered me, well, huge to say the least; I look like a Samoan Jabba the Hut. My weight currently checks in at 290 Lbs. Yes, that's no typo...2-9-0! And although 300 sounds really great for bowling, it does not quite bode well for the human physique. So I'm joining a gym and hopefully I can lose some of it. Here's my workout plan:



And here a quick sketch I did the other day; color coming soon!
