Thug

Disney mash up!

Disney now owns Lucasfilms and George is 4 billion dollars richer.  Does he really need more money?  Anyway, here are some photo manipulation to mark this occasion.   

Disney Assemble!  My pal Horia added Kermit for me.  The mouse owns everything!

Slender Man

Happy Halloween!  :)

Creativity Decoded

This morning, I got a feature and a quote at Creativity Decoded.

Go check it out.  There are lots of other artists on there so have fun and cruise around.  :) 

Superman

Up, up, and away!

This is more graphic approach using colors and shapes with no outline.

Here are the final members to Girl's Generation... starting from the left, Seohyun, Taeyeon, and Yuri.

From left to right, it's Tiffany and Sooyoung from Girl's Generation.  I'll post the rest of the group members throughout this week.  :)

Sunny

Sunny from Girl's Generation (aka, SNSD).

Rat

Out of no where, a rat ran right in front of my car this morning.  There was no time to swerve or slam on the brakes.  Ninety percent sure I ran over him.  Sorry little guy.   :(

Paper Creeper

Few weekends ago, my nephew wanted a Minecraft theme birthday party.  I helped out by making a paper Creeper using what I can get around the house.  It was a fun art challenge to put this together before the party got started.  The creeper design was perfect to do because it's all straight edges so it was easier to plan out.  If I get more pics.  I'll update this post.

Stranded

There's a new Syfy show, Hot Set.  The premise is for two set production teams to build a functional movie set base on a script concept.  The first episode was to design a set that have to do with a astronaut that crash land on an alien planet. So this is my idea for that challenge.


The show is very similar to Face Off.  I really dig those shows because it could be a fun exercise to do the challenge and practice environment/character concept art. 

Don't Blink!

The new season of Doctor Who started a few weeks ago.  Good times.  Of course, I'm waiting for the return of weeping angels so that should be fun.  :)

Dark Lady

My daughter had a nightmare recently and she wrote up a description of the Dark Lady.

"Dark Lady -wears a Victorian style black dress made of a silklike material. With puffy sleves about half way down the upper arm with the rest of the sleve a tighter fit. Black flowers decorate around the top of the skirt line and spareingly mixed in with the folds of the skirt. Also at top of the left shoulder (where the sleve meets the bodice) ther is a small bundle of black flowers trailing (very slightly) towards the collar bone. Carries a bundle of cloth (with both hands) like a bouque made of the same material as the dress. The veil is black and there is a cluster of black roses near the back of the veil adding volume to the back layers of the veil. Many more layers in the back then the front. Front only just enough layers to obscoure the face. Wears Mary janes with black stockings. Along with black elbow gloves running underneath the dress."

So this is my version of her.

Tin Man

My take on the Tin Man from Wizard of Oz.  Since he's a robot, I incorporated the axe right on his head.  Maybe, I'll take a crack at the other characters too.

Head

Barnabas Collins

I did not see the movie. Just find the visual design to be very colorful and unique... like many of Tim Burton's films.

I remember watching the Dark Shadows in 2004 and liking it. But I have never seen the original series so I can't judge how faithful all these versions are.

RIP Maurice Sendak

Maurice Sendak left us yesterday.  "Where the Wild Things Are" is my favorite children book.  The creatures and story was kinda scary and I loved it. 

Free Comic Book Day

It's that time of the year again... Free Comic Book Day.  Support your local comic store and pick up free comics!

Gambit and Rogue part 2

Here's the final set.

Gambit and Rogue sketch part 1

Although I didn't get a table at ECCC this year, I did do couple of commission sketches between projects.  Here's the first set....

Blue Trees

Don't adjust your monitor... the trees are blue.  If you live around Seattle area, you might have seen them.  I thought its some sort of tree fungus treatment or some kids did it as a prank.  Well, I walked by these tree tonight and got the official answer from this sign below.  Mystery solved.  

Conventions

Two weekends, two great conventions. First was the 10th Emerald City ComiCon. I didn't get a table at the show but did show up on Sunday to walk the floor.
The word is on Saturday, the attendance was WAY UP. People couldn't get into the show at some point because there was too many people on the floor. Next year, we might see the show floor expanded. I'm so glad this con is doing so well and its right in my back yard. It's all about comics and I hope it stay that way. With so much to see and friends to talk to... I only took one cosplay pic. Harley, you just makes everyone laugh. :)

This weekend was Sakura Con, their 15th year in Seattle. This con have a different crowd. Younger perhaps, but most fans dressed up as their favorite anime or manga characters. Below are just the tiniest sample of cosplayers at the show.

Sleeping

A dead astronaut perhaps? Really just another morning warm up sketch.

R.I.P. Ralph McQuarrie

I remember seeing this in Hong Kong and this art sold me on the movie. After I came to the US, my brothers and I got the art book and I copied the crap out Ralph's work. Mr. McQuarrie, you will be missed by me and legion of artists that you help inspired.

Ralph McQuarrie remembered on Start Wars.com

Trying to do a little more sketches to warm up in the morning.
