2012-02-14T00:35:00.000-08:00

I haven't drawn adult Flo in a while so I decided to give it a go!

Gathered Meloday Practice Panels

2011-12-19T00:24:00.000-08:00

Did some practice panels for the storyboard of Gathered Melody.

Just Posting some Doodles!

No Eye Design Work

2011-11-14T23:47:00.000-08:00

So I decided to change up the story for Gathered Melody. Instead of a girl and a lizard I want to try and use the creatures I'm drawing all the time. Here is one of the characters named No Eye for obvious reasons. What...oh yeah it's cause he's missin an eye.

Here's a break down of the process I'm going through. I think I'm leaning towards the grey one, like his look.

HHA: Nooot gettin it

2011-10-16T23:58:00.001-07:00

HH@: B.N.T.D.

2011-10-08T23:14:00.000-07:00

So I'm finally gonna try to get this web comic off the ground!
Of course, there will be tons of story and design work to be done first, but this is somewhat the look you can look forward to.

Couple o doodles

2011-09-20T22:49:00.001-07:00

HH@: Flo bustin chops

2011-07-16T00:47:00.001-07:00

I felt like messing around with some designs for the HH@ comic. I plan on putting LL@ and Melena in the mix for the first chapter. So as you can see I had to make them older. As you can see Flo is giving HH@ a hard time. What did you do now you're wondering? You'll find out. The character on the left is completely new. Not even a name yet. I'm gonna start making bios and stuff and get the story rolling.

I definitely plan on starting the comic soon. I have some things to knock out first. The animation isn't one of them. Kinda thought it over and it would take waaaay too long on my own and it was kind of a favor not for myself. I'd rather get rolling on HH@. Gotta do something for yourself or you'll go crazy!

Happy 4TH!!!

2011-07-04T01:39:00.001-07:00

Happy 4th of July peoples!!!!!! I thought I'd do a piece for the holiday. Sadly kinda started way too late and I'll be busy all day tomorrow so couldn't finish as much as I wanted. I decided to draw over a historcal piece of the drafting of the declaration for independence.

Check out the original here [link]

Gathered Melody teaser

2011-06-24T00:38:00.001-07:00

Posting up a teaser for my animated short I'll be working on called "Gathered Melody."

These are the two main characters, a girl and her pet lizard. Still so much design to be done!

Lil HH@ line-up

2011-06-14T00:04:00.001-07:00

I was planning on animating these dudes, but another project came up so I kinda have to focus on that at the moment. I know, I know, one day I shall get back on track with something HH@ related.

If you don't remember these characters here's the names left to right:

Nigello, Flo, HH@, LL@, and Melena

I'll try to post some stuff up for the other project.

Some New!

2011-05-28T09:14:00.001-07:00

Hey peoples! It's been a while but I finally got a new job and a new drawing to post! I also plan on starting a new project and I'm thinkin' animation. That's right, animation!

This little guy is gonna be in it. He is a Nigello. Basically, a plant demon thing.

Whaaat up!

2011-04-20T13:00:00.001-07:00

Heeeey! Recently life has been a little lame but I'm keeping my head up high. I'm posting up some new art. The first one is page 5 of the Dolores and Sorrow comic I finished. You'll have to wait to see the other pages, hopefully soon. The second piece is just some character experimentation. Maybe I'll use them one day, dunno.

Dolores Preview

2011-03-20T23:55:00.000-07:00

Thought I'd give a lil sneak peek for the short comic I'm doing for Dolores and Sorrow. This is the first page, but it's not completely done yet.

Hide That!?

2011-02-27T22:01:00.000-08:00

And so concludes my drawing everyday for the month of February! Feels goood!
Now for a new project!

2011-02-26T12:23:00.000-08:00

Goin' Goth

2011-02-01T23:44:00.001-08:00

I meant to post this a while ago. I decided to try to do a gothic themed comic for a Gothology project. If all goes well and it gets done it could possibly be in a book! It's a style totally out of my usual vibe, so it should be interesting!

Their names are Dolores and Sorrow.

Feb Madness!

2011-02-01T22:15:00.000-08:00

So I decided to do this challenge on satellitesoda.com! It's a drawing daily challenge so expect a new piece everyday of this month! Pretty crazy!

Check the thread here! link

January DAC challenges

2011-01-11T19:58:00.001-08:00

Hey there! I did some challenges for a group on my DA account. The first piece is a theme piece which had to be a heavy and grumpy viking who has a smoking and drinking problem and loves to get into fights. The second piece is a shape challenge, it's pretty much self explanatory.

Nalani

2011-01-09T19:12:00.000-08:00

Did a drawing for one of the characters for a story I'm writing. Her name is Nalani. By the time the story is done her design and color scheme might change. It's only the first pass after all.

Let's get this New Year started!

2011-01-03T23:21:00.001-08:00

I'm going to stick to one of my New Year resolutions and try to finish things I start. I was supposed to do this V.V. ad-lib shindigs ages ago, but busy upper-cutted me in the face, so yea.
Stay tuned!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

2010-12-22T22:07:00.001-08:00

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
From: St. Nic a.k.a Chocolate Santa

Some Space!

2010-12-10T23:19:00.000-08:00

Finally had a little down time so I decided to make this piece. I experimented with some gradient coloring. I mean I use it all the time at work so why not in my own pieces right?

LL@: Interns

2010-11-20T20:09:00.001-08:00

I already have a story for LL@ so I did a quick doodle! That's right interns.

LL@ Elbow Drop!

2010-11-17T21:54:00.001-08:00

Just did a quick doodle. The post title should say all!

HH@ Stuff

2010-11-09T00:18:00.000-08:00

Haven't drawn HH@ in a while, so I thought why not. Since I haven't drawn him in a while I decided to update his suit a bit. I defiantly plan on bringing him back. Below you can also see the evolution of him so far!

V.V. Experiments

2010-11-09T00:14:00.001-08:00

I was doing some color experiments with V.V. and crew. The first one is them normal colored, which is probably better in my opinion. The second is the approach I was going for where the monster people would be blue and the humans would be orange.

Alice stuff!!!!

2010-11-02T19:58:00.000-07:00

This is a ton of stuff I drew for Halloween at work! It was completely Alice in Wonderland themed. So I went dressed as the Mad Hatter and everything decorated was drawn by me. It was kinda stressful and I drew to the point where I thought I couldn't. I'm defiantly Aliced out!!!

Here's some color pages I passed out to the kids! Feel free to color them, but ya know give some credit for the line art and what nots!

Happy Halloween!

2010-10-31T13:15:00.000-07:00

Did a fan art of Lock, Shock, and Barrel! Happy Halloween!

Vamp re-animated Lagoon

2010-10-19T22:18:00.001-07:00

Checked my old journal on DA with the choose your favorite top three top favorite monsters. This one is Vampire, creature from the black lagoon, and re-animated skeletons.

Paint-a-kin phase 2

2010-10-18T23:03:00.000-07:00

Whew and painted! Didn't take long! Yeeeea right! So I totally finished up the pumpkin! It's ready to go up for auction. Hopefully it sells well, for the chillin's.

Paint-a-kin phase 1

2010-10-18T23:00:00.000-07:00

This is the first time I've done a vinyl toy art shindig. So let me lay some story on ya! Basically, at work, we do this art auction for the kids every Halloween thing called Dream Halloween. Look it up I'm pretty sure you can donate if ya want! So yea I'm going to be giving away my baby to be sold to some person I don't know. Jus wasn't ready for the whole parenthood thing.

Any whoo, this is the pumpkin in it's blank and inked state!

She Stein

2010-10-15T19:43:00.000-07:00

I was in a mood to draw a girl that could give the feeling of Halloween. So I figured why not look back to the classics, like Frankenstein's bride!

A Headless Teaser

2010-10-11T00:24:00.000-07:00

I decided to do a Halloween piece with a character I haven't drawn in a while, but he will be returning sometime soon, if all goes according to plan. You know how it goes, life and stuff. This is just a teaser for now. I'll post up the epic Halloween piece before Halloween!

Go add to V.V.

2010-10-05T23:18:00.000-07:00

Hey people! I started this shindigs on my DA where people add a sentence to the story and it keeps the story going, oh it's called an ad lib I believe. Any whoo the main character is named V.V. and he's a vegetarian vampire. If you'd like you can head over here: link and write your sentence!

Here's the first concept from the first 4 sentences. I'll try to keep them coming!

Zombie ID

2010-10-05T00:06:00.000-07:00

Figured it might be a lil bit before I upload something new, we'll see. So I thought I'd post the new zombie ID. It's October and Halloween is coming up!

Halloween Doodles

2010-09-26T23:58:00.000-07:00

Just posting up some doodles I'm doing for piece I'm working on. Stay tuned to see what they end up on!

Dinosaurrrrrr! In action!

2010-09-25T03:23:00.000-07:00

Wheeew! Holy crap this piece took a while! It's waaay late or early my time, but I just couldn't put this piece down till it was done. Alrighty, here's the story, after a full day of drawing girly fashions at work I had a random idea. I thought it'd be cool to draw a pirate riding a dinosaur. Then I thought it'd be funny if he was yelling DINOSAURRRR!!! Thus, yes thus, this piece was born.

I'm actually going to post my process. Every once and a while I like to texture paint my pieces. It pushes me.

First I draw in pencil. I usually do blue and define it more with mechanical pencil.

Second I clean it up with inks.Then I apply the flat colors. Remember don't do it on white bg, pick a neutral color for the bg. Don't want those super saturated colors. Well, unless you do.

After that I do my texture paints. Looks totally different right?
And finally I just added some minor bg elements like the speech bubble and some texture. That way your eye goes straight to the main characters of this piece. As you can see there's two finals. One is a blank bg and the other is all paper textured out.
Hope you guys enjoyed seeing this. If ya didn't give me a heads. Like, "Dude we just wanted to see the final!" And I'll be like, "Your mom!"
Enjoy!

NNA concepts and a sneak peek

2010-09-23T00:07:00.000-07:00

Just updating the good ol' blog. Let's see, well I did some character designs for NN@. If the the story takes place in a school of course there has to be tons of characters and other astronauts. Here's the list of the astronauts:

BB@(Big Buff @stronaut), HI@(Highly Intelligent @stronaut), LA@(Little Angry @stronaut) PR@(Punk Rock @stronaut), OS@(Oni Samurai @stronaut), NN@ you know of course, and LL@(Lucha Libre @stronaut).

There will be more designs to come! Also I'm working on this piece and I thought I'd finish it tonight, but I ran out of time for the night. Curse you time! Anywhoo here's a sneak peek of my piece I'm working on, you'll never be able to guess what it will be!

New Preloader, Strip, and Project

2010-09-18T09:31:00.000-07:00

Let's see what's first on the list, I did this back to school preloader at work. I tend to focus more on the design than the animation since it's a preloader, sometimes it's not on your screen that long. You can check it out here: [link]

I also finished another strip of NNA. It's called NNA: Sweet tooth. You can see how NNA and lil Flo interact with one another.

I'm also working on an actual traditional piece for an Halloween auction shindig. I 'll post up the process and stuff while work on it.

Share!

2010-09-17T00:05:00.000-07:00

Did a quick piece before I hit the hay. Even monsters like video games. Now I'm gonna meet up with my friend pillow!

One eye Franken Zombies!

2010-09-16T00:26:00.000-07:00

Alrighty, so here's the details, I asked people their top 3 Halloween things are. It can be monsters, urban legends, heroes, villains, whatever. So the first one I did was the one eyed one horned flying purple people eater, Frankenstein, and zombies.

NNA: Space

2010-09-12T01:03:00.001-07:00

Check it out! It's the very first strip of NNA! It has a totally different look than HHA. It's line less
and very vector looking, enjoy!

There's been a robbery!

2010-09-11T18:13:00.000-07:00

It's funny how sometimes an idea for a piece comes out. I was talking about robbing a bank with new friend of mine and we ended up tag teaming a piece. I'm the guy of course, she's the girl , and the cops are just cops with sirens on their heads. Check out her awesome work here: link

NNA

2010-09-08T21:07:00.001-07:00

Basically I'm hoping to make a comic series that will show how HH@ gets his code name. I plan on filling the story with crazy adventures and funny stuff kids would do. Along with other @stronauts. Of course, Flo and Nerva will be accompanying NN@ as well. Nerva is learning to be a mechanic and Flo is learning to be a computer technician.

Just Updating

2010-09-04T17:28:00.000-07:00

A whole lotta Monsters!

2009-09-27T21:37:00.001-07:00

I've been working on this page of my note pad at work for like six months, crazy how time goes by. I would do a monster everytime I'd be in a meeting where I didn't need to pay fully attention or just to get away from the fashion world for a bit. But all these were only done at the office. Not sure how many there are you're welcome to count. I'm hoping to make a t-shirt outta this, stay tuned. Oh yea the weird blob is where I had to take out my company logo didn't want a court case or stealing of me monsters.

Enjoy!
