old character render revealed for new project...

Well since I've already begun drawing up the concepts for my new project under the working title 
"project ULTIMA", I figured it would be okay to show an unfinished character render that's no longer going to be used. 

It was originally going to be in my previous collab, but since that's been canceled for now, I decided to go on and revamp this one character all together. The final rendition of said new character is underway at the moment.

Hope to share more on this new project soon enough.

Had a little challenge session today from the DevinatArt group D-A-C (design-a-character). 
The challenge was to interpret character designs from given shapes. It was a definite challenge indeed, regardless I had fun doing it. Probably will do more eventually.

wolf speed paint + news update!

Been practicing heavy as of late, it's a must really.

I'm feelin more and more like my ambitious old self lately, and it feels damn good.

This dire emphasis on practice and experimentation pans into something even bigger and more ambitious I have working at the moment. The old comic project The Alame' Rentei I was previously apart of is put on hold indefinitely (not sure for how long to be honest).

This new long term graphic novel project will showcase the return of old favorite characters of mine as well as many other concepts long gone in my earlier days.

Look for for the (semi) announcement soon.

Pixel Bastard of Old School Street

Finally managed to update on my other little comic, mentioned it from a previous post.

Well the deadline for the zine entries is finally closing in, and I'll be finishing up my story for it. 

This lovely odd-ball character is featured in the comic. A Yakuza from a rival gang, 
His name is The Pixel Bastard. I'll be showing the first 4 pages in no time.

(Also changed the title back to my first choice for it, "A.K.A: It's A Wonderful World")

some banner fun

Test drove some new pencil textured photoshop brushes today, got a neat little sketch out of it. Resulted in a Army Gal or...something.

Figured I'd spruce it up and make another banner out of it.  Also, the graphic designer in me is really gettin better & better, 

oodles & doodles

Drew some quick style character sketches for a kid friend today. He was trying to make a neat little shonen style story. Reminded me of my younger days, good times ha ha.

Introducing some concept art for an unrevealed stranger for "The Alamé Rentei"
Keeping lips sealed on this one ;)

Just a result of recent practicing in photoshop, that and boredom I guess.

Made it a PNG as well, check it out here to see it better...

Dropping another lame teaser for AR. This time featuring one of the main characters "Zeminoru" at a very drastic point in the story. Will unveil the whole thing when the time is more than right.

Happy New Year!

2009 was a pretty dull and non-progressive year for me actually. 
So 2010 is going to be one special year this time around, gotta lot of plans. 
And this little banner is from one of said plans.

A mini comic series featured in the soon to be GBX:Missilez & Diamonds zine anthology.

Got some humps to clear this year and I definitely dont plan to sit this one out.
