Webcomic

Still working on this. I know, right now it looks pretty flat! I'll post an update soon :D


Something I'm working on...

Terminator Oakley

Just saw a private screening of Terminator, tonight.
It was pretty good, I didn't have any expectations going into it. So I was REALLY happy about it. Nice action and explosion shots :D
Oakley set this up for the company employees because we have some apparel in the movie. Specifically the S. I. Assault boots. Pretty badass boots. I want some :D

May

Well lots of new things this month!!!
For starts I got a snake :D He's a California King snake, I named him Kontra. Yea, after that old game. I'm spelling it with a "K" instead of a "C". I think the name looks better with a K.
Here's some pictures of him/her. I think it's too young to tell what gender it is. So for now, I'll just assume it's a boy.


Today, I went to Riverside with my co-workers for some Team Building. We went go-kart racing, it was freakin AWESOME. Though, I was dead last. I was scared and didn't want to flip that 500 pound kart. So I stayed back and took pictures while I was driving. I also cheated to catch up with my group haha. I ended up with the second fastest lap time. But since I knew I cheated I gave up my trophy. lol Seee, I am honest!!!


Tomorrow, Kelli and I are going to see my buddy's band INVERSE perform at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood. So that should be exciting! Gotta thank Kelli for driving. I hate driving to LA. EWW!!!

As for art work, I'm gonna start this charity webcomic soon. There's also thing other webcomic I'm debating on doing. No pay, so yea...no sure.

I'll post some work later :D

2D traditional Painting!

Well ever since John and I decided to go see Mike Tracy's art show, we felt inspired to paint with actual paint and brushes instead of the digital ones haha. Boy, did I miss CRTL + Z lol
Anyway, here's my painting and the progress shots!

more fish

just wanted to post some more fisheye lens photography.

VW_Van

I think I'm done!

WIP

Work in progress!
Still trying to mess with the colors and textures :D

but let me know what you guys think!
The lineart is also by...

Vespa

Didn't have any work at work today. So I finally kicked myself in the butt and found something that really inspired me to paint.
This guy, has amazing work! I had a lot of fun messing with textures and filters. It's not what I usually do when I paint. I feel like I'm still trying to find a style that works for me.
Anyway, I like how this turned out. Shout out to my buddy Lacey who gave her opinon through the process :D It really helps out, when you have someone to do that for you! Thanks Lacey!

Here's with the Line Art by nacho-monre

Fisheye_Hills

Well I've been living in Laguna Hills for about three weeks. I really like how peaceful it is here. Nice being able to sleep in cause work is so close now :D
I recently got tuned into Netflix, can't believe I never got on to it before. It's been taking up most of my free time. :) I love be able to just order what I want and then it comes out the next day. Awesome. Netflix, I thank you!!!

I also bought Lomography's FishEye 2 camera. It's a regular old school film camera, with a fisheye lens. I love it. I just got my first batch of film developed. Here some pictures I've taken.






I love this thing. I'm gonna get the Diana F camera next. :D
I also bought a new LCD monitor, it's 24 inches. I've been wanting to get another screen for my computer. I'm spoiled at work and I'm used to working on two screens. I figured since I got my bonus I'd spend some...rrr..most of it. :D Just on stuff I've been wanting for awhile!


I felt like painting something. So I went over to Lauren Montgomery's lineart on deviantart. She's got amazing work. I love her stuff! I'm not done with it. I don't like the pink stuff. haha
I'm still working on it. As well as Kasai's work.

Well I hope everyone has a great Easter weekend! Take care

Don't know

So I want to paint something for a friend and he's got some insane concept designs. But I'm having a hard time finishing anything that I start of his.
So I figured I post what I had.





I'm totally all over the place. I don't have a solid style, don't have a color palette and I'm just jumping from drawing to drawing. lol
The last image I was trying to go for a loose good brush feel. hah did NOT work out like I had hoped. :/

Well I'll keep working on it. I think when I finally move into my new place, it'll be easier to get into painting again. My room is pretty cozy and quiet. Not like where I'm living now.

Oh and the lineart is by Re'Jean here's his blog

Death Siren

I finished the painting :D
Here's the wip stages.

I'm pretty happy with it. Took me awhile to figure out what to do with the background.

Moving on

Well lots has happened since my last post. Tommy moved out so he could travel more. He got tired of all the republicans here in the O.C. I'm pretty sure I told him Orange County is where retired-rich-republicans come to die. Though, I think working for Green Peace he got the worst of that crowd.
So him leaving, left us with higher rent. I figured I could probably find something cheaper and have my own room. Not that I really mind sharing a room with Kathy. In fact she's probably the only other girl I could share a room with. It's mostly the rent. I want to find a part-time job. But we'll see where that goes. Anyhow, I found a room for rent in Laguna Hills for $480 on craigslist.com. Yup, that's right $480 for my OWN room in LAGUNA HILLS!!!!. :) Another plus is that it's closer to work, I don't even have to take the freeway. YAY!!! I'll be moving out at the end of the month.

I plan to only stay at that place till about July maybe August. Then the people I would like to live with will finally be able to move out too. Then I'll be able to move into a new place where I get to decorate and fill the place up with my crap. Everytime I move out it's always into someone's place that has already lived there. They already have a system. I want to start my own system.

So that's where I'm at with the living conditions.

As for art, the only thing I've started painting is Kelli's tattoo drawing she did for Tommy.
I call her the Death Siren. I guess Tommy wanted a Zombie Siren thing. lol He better get it tatted!!!

I asked Kelli to draw me something completely out of her element. I told her that I wanted something that no one would recognize was by her. So I gave her some references and told her I wanted a hot guy in there somewhere ~_^
So here's the finished piece. Can you tell she drew it?

I thought this was gonna take longer then the 3 to 4 hours I spent on it. I guess I should let Tommy talk me into drinking vodka and rockstars more often lol JK

Roommates!

My buddy Etoli, did some henna for me yesterday. Isn't awesome?!!!! She's such a kick ass artist. She actually did a bridal party that day for my roommate. She rocked.

Jusdog's spidey

This piece was written by Michael Woods and penciled by Justin Copeland. I did the letters and the colors :D
I was going for a vintage comic book feel. I kind of wanted a watercolor look to it too. I'm really happy with it. This is the first time I used a texture over my painting (from cgtextures.com). I'm finally starting to get out of my art funk that I've been in since July.

In other news, the last post of "Walking with my Son" got me a job for the rest of the year.
I'll be coloring a webcomic once a week. So that should be fun. I'm excited for it.
