Kat Von D pt 1

This is my first shot of a caricature of Kat Von D. Kat Von D is that purty little tatoo artist from her hit reality show LA INK. Dang it's hard for a brotha to draw a pretty lady especially a caricature.

new sketches and more Mr.Lif!

Well here are a couple of new sketches from the my book. I did another sketch of Mr.LIF. Looks closer to his current look . The other I drew from a how to draw caricature book I have. I was practicing my caricatures and saw this photo of this dood with dreds. Even though I didn't exaggerate much I love the drawing and my confidence boosted up more. I 'm glad to see that I've grown since art school and since this season of working at the booth. I have some Xmen character designs coming up soon! So keep watching yallz.

Mo Caricature fun!

Mo caricatures! This time Cosby, E-40, and Mr.LIF! Man doing these were hard today because I was feeling very discoraged because of some crits I got on drawingboard.org. Honestly I was debating on if I should reapply next year or just quit the caricature gig now. Man even though I've read the bible verses and created a sermon on crits they still are a challenge for me to get over.
well keep prayin' for a brotha net commune.

Cg practice, Ed Benes

Continued practice in photo shop painting. These are penciled by Ed Benes of Gen 13 and other comics. I'm a big fan of his work. On these I was practicing a technique used by Capcom artist
Kinu Nishamura (on top)who I'm also a big fan of. She implies a watercolor technique in photo shop by painting a grey scale of her character and color adjusts the different areas to finish it. She achieves a beautiful texture and depth with her style. I hope to achieve the same with my work.

Ibuki cg practice by SRS, art by Omar Dogan

Hey all! Sorry for the long pause with posting. I just got done with some photo shop painting practice. This is Capcom's Ibuki from SF3 done by UDON COMICS artist Omar Dogan. I love his work and he posted the pencils to his DA page. This image is one of my faves so far. I painted a loose background for the first time. I wanted to convey a Japanese wooded temple walk way with light bits of sun light breaking through. I'm going to keep working on this. My painting of the character was great, and I was proud of it. I'm making head way in the CG realm. thanks to all who are looking! I'll post up my other cg pieces.

X-Men Japanese Anime OP 2

This is sooo sick! Man I don't know what it is about Anime but this intro makes the X-men cartoon larger than life! All the style they put into the character designs, it's like Jim Lee's artwork has truly come alive! This was really exiciting to see on youtube. I saw this in 97-98 when it was syndicated. They played the japanese intro at the end of the show. Enjoy yallz!

SDCC: Where I met Rosario Dawson!!!

I'll be posting more about comic con but I'can't help but talk about this one!!
Yup the photo is proof that I met Rosario Dawson. Ha Ha Ha!!! She was soooo awsome in person! Man I never knew how down to earth she is! She was so kind to me and others. I've gained a great deal of respect for her. From an article from Bust magazine I read about her views on certain issues. She also has a heart to serve people which I'm a firm believer as a follower of Christ. After meeting twice , getting a few pics, and signatures, I decided to give her a gift art. I drew a toon version of her with a street art style backdrop of ZOO YORK (new york if you don't know the skate refrence). I drew and painted it Sunday morning. As worked on it , I felt a bit convicted about why I was doing it. I repented asked Christ to help me have pure motives and that his spirit would shine through my work. I didn't want to baptize what I was doing, I wanted to do it with sincerity and as a gift for her kindness. I included my card and a leave behind sketch book. I don't know why I added those things, I hope that she didn't think that I was just trying to get something from her. I gave it to her that morning and I wasn't sure of her reaction. I hope she liked it. I felt kinda stupid after I gave it to her. I really did respect her and really was thankful to learn how nice she really was. I learned alot during that convention about myself. I must admit I do think she's beautiful but, after I met her in person I saw a glimmer of who she really was and that out shined her beauty. She's a really wonderful person. I'll never know if she liked my work or not as well as I have to pray that God will show me the way to treat others more the way that they want to be treated no matter who they are. Maybe I'm over thinking all of this but, like my friend Marcus said tonight " At least you got the picture and proof that you met Rosario Dawson!" Straight up!!
