ALF and ET: Redone!

2010-01-26T14:13:00.002-07:00

So Alf and ET were one of my first digital illustrations with photoshop.
I really liked the composition and drawing for it, but the final thing was too blurry, and not painted well. So... I redid it. And I think the remake is better than the original(below).

Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey

2009-03-28T14:10:00.008-06:00

"Sometimes when I feel like killing someone, I do a little trick to calm myself down. I'll go over to the persons house and ring the doorbell.
When the person comes to the door, I'm gone, but you know what I've left on the porch? A jack-o-lantern with a knife stuck in the side of it's head with a note that says "You."
After that I usually feel a lot better, and no harm done."

The Ventriloquist & Scarface

2008-10-12T18:14:00.003-06:00

Batman villain Arnold Wesker carves the face of his alter/dissociative identity, Scarface.
I thought of him when I combined the Illustration Friday word "Strings" with the Drawforce Blog Mission: "Gotham Wild Card".
I guess that technically ventriloquist dummies aren't on strings like some puppets, but you get the connection.

I really like the Movie "Kung-Fu Panda" so I've had it on the brain lately.
Here's my idea for a Kung-Fu Panda villain. A Kung-Fu Komodo Dragon.

One-Eyed Ogre

2008-06-24T20:54:00.003-06:00

You may not have known this, but One-Eyed Ogres are not very good at Whack-A-Mole.
Actually, pretty much anything with one eye would suck at whack-a-mole.
On account of the lack of depth perception and all. :) .)

Ogre In Progress

2008-06-21T16:07:00.004-06:00

This is my unfinished take on the latest challenge on the Avalanche Software Art Blog.
They took two images of Joe Olsen's and you were supposed to paint them or do your own take on them.
I picked this image:

Long Time No Tiger?

2008-06-18T13:28:00.003-06:00

It's been a while since I put something on here.
I've just been busying moving into an apartment and starting a new part-time job to help pay the bills.
We went to the Zoo on my wife's Birthday, and some of the coolest animals there were the tigers.
So looking through my Zoo pictures I was inspired to do this.

Just for fun...

2008-05-11T22:42:00.003-06:00

...let's put the lightning and mer-creature in one awesome picture!
YA!!!!
Hey... it kinda looks like he's licking the lightning. HA!
I think I'll call it "Lickin' Lighting". Sweet.

Yep... That's right. My artwork is on display at the Getty museum in LA.
At least it was; they probably took it down by now. They have a little drawing room where they give you paper and pencils and you choose from a selection of things to draw. And they have a wall where you can pin up your drawing.

Scorpion Helicopter

2008-02-01T16:57:00.000-07:00

I thought of a helicopter that had four legs instead of landing skids. And then I thought, what if the four propellers on top could come down to form 4 more legs.
Here's a little visual on how it would transform. (Front view).

Here's a little something my Mom did on my computer. She was so fascinated by my Wacom tablet that she had to try it out.

And here's a little thumbnail I did today:

Then my brother saw it and said "I could draw that". I said "Ya?... go ahead."
So I had him draw his version, and here it is:

Gorilla in the Mist

2007-12-03T00:21:00.000-07:00

So I touched it up a tad. I tried to make the gorilla look more powerful and large. I altered his pose (mostly the legs) to make him look less static in the air. And changed the composition a bit. And added a little fog of course. :)

Anyway... the game would be a first-person shooter genre game that involves time-travel. And this is an early visual concept.

Here's an illustration I'm working on for the fun of it. I was inspired by the Illustration Friday word from last week... "Poem".
I figured I'd post it in its drawing form. And open it up to any critiques (trusting that some of my art peers may actually visit my blog, that is).
So, here it is... have at it!

Illustration Friday: Gravity

2007-02-21T10:06:00.000-07:00

Galileo and Sir Isaac Newton perform a Gravity experiment off the leaning tower of pisa (not shown).
In the audience are Marie Curie, Sigmund Freud, Benjamin Franklin, Niels Bohr, Aristotle (center), Einstein, Bill Nye, and Charles Darwin.

You may be wondering why I would include Bill Nye. Well... I had to include Bill Nye... I mean... He's THE Science Guy. And doesn't it seem like an experiment he would do on his show. Except he'd use a bowling ball instead of an Iron shot put.
I almost put Bunson and Beaker from the muppets also, but I thought that would be too much.

The only question is which will land first the 12 pound shot put, or the apple? Do you know your gravity? :)

Illustration Friday: Crash!

2007-02-14T10:41:00.001-07:00

Vince and Larry have a little encounter with good-ol' McGruff.
I figure they were both invited to speak at the same assembly at a public school and, unavoidably, the following ensues.
CRASH!

And don't forget to take a bite of of crime and always buckle your safety belt!
