A brief update on Role Model

Hello dear viewer, I apologize for the lack updates in recent weeks, I've been busy what with Christmas and all. In my spare time, I've gone back to my wrestling comic project 'Role Model'. I've been revising the script and pushing the character designs. Here's a little peak at what Mark Arrow looks like now.

 Stay tuned for more updates!

On a fighting game fix

Hello dear viewer, it's been a minute since my last update. I've been busy with animation.

In my spare time I've been watching and/or playing a lot of Killer Instinct, Soul Calibur 2 HD Online, Guilty Gear Xrd. Really been on a fighting game fix lately. Normally, I don't do fan art but this compelled me to break from tradition and draw Ryu. Enjoy!

Sketch Dump

Some sketches I've done over the past 2 days. For the most part, they're all nameless doodles but the guy with the axe and shotgun is a character from a story I was working on during a road trip. I took to calling him Cimakuu. Anyways, enjoy!

P.S finishing up another animation pass at Donnie Baxley, expect to see it uploaded soon.

Slain demon

Hello dear viewer,

Last night I was feeling a bit unproductive, felt I was losing my muse. I've been playing a lot of the Devil May Cry HD Collection lately, and with that came thoughts of Maximo, a forgotten gem of the old PS2 era. Also, some friends of mine were showcasing some pretty impressive inked pieces, which compelled me to do something a little creative with these ideas. 

Rather than just listening to the soundtracks of those games, which would've just led to me doing fanart, I decided to listen to the Overture from Jesus Christ Superstar on loop without a single pause. Something unrelated to keep me working from my head alone. I did this in 3 hours straight, no breaks.

It was a good little psychological exercise, seeing how my brain pieced things together. A little bit on the gross side but the human squirting out of the demon's side was an unfortunate victim from earlier. During the demon's last moments, he was on the verge of vomiting him out. The barf ended up getting clogged up and eventually burst through the side. Eww...

Sentai Transformation

Hello, dear viewer. Lately, I've been having a marathon of Power Rangers seasons 1 through 3. On top of that, I've been getting in some Ronin Warriors as well. So yeah, watching a lot of Sentai. And because of this nostalgia, for my next animated project, I'm gonna tackle a sentai henshin (transformation). The motif will be fire, which will mark the first time I'll be animating effects. So far, I've finalized the character and mask, all that's left is deciding on the costume and then I can start on the animatic.

Flea Market

Hello dear viewers, sorry for the wait. I noticed that I usually forego the backgrounds for my artwork, focusing solely on the characters. The reason for this is I personally can't stand looking at my backgrounds. It never looks as good as I want it to. But seeing the artwork of my fellow crew compelled me to try my hand at it again.

When I was a kid, growing up in Southern Georgia, I always went to the Flea Market in Jacksonville, Florida. It'll always hold a special place in my heart, because it was there that I got the VHS tapes of The Five Deadly Venoms, Chinese Super Ninjas, and New Legend of Shaolin (Legend of the Red Dragon), the first Jet Li movie I ever watched. Whenever I think of it, I remember the smell of popcorn and peanuts from the concession stands, and then I decided to draw this. 

Two hours, one layer, 70% Opacity on the brush, no filters. Enjoy

My first animation job

Hello dear viewer,

Some of you may have been wondering why I haven't uploaded any new material lately. That's because... I've been hard at work with my first animation job! I am now doing clean-up animation for the new TV show, Axe Cop! It's part of the animation domination block on FOX, which plays on Saturdays. Make sure to check it out, it's an awesome show.

But please believe, I haven't forgotten about my blog. Soon you'll be seeing a lot of new content on here, new characters, new sketches, and my personal animation projects. Stay tuned!
