Shade


One of Nine: Shade

I had originally created the design for this character 4 years ago along with 8 others. I intend to design them again. Hopefully I'll be able to bring them into the video game I want to make.

Zombies

This is pure fun

Project S

Project: S is Project: Snatcher!!! But it's not exactly what you might think it is. Listen to find out!

Egnimatic Knight

If you haven't played Kingdom Hearts 2, please don't watch this. For those who did, you know very well who this is, and already know how much he will obliterate the competition.

The Scientist

This one was fun. I felt my characters weren't expressive enough, so I tried something like this out.

Oh Sony...

You know, back in high school, I would have dreaded the fact of Microsoft even touching Final Fantasy. So much has happened, however, since then and now I feel more comfortable now with this whole non-exclusivity deal. This is such a major blow. I never thought it was really gonna go through...but...well, I guess that's that.

Scratch Shadow


2nd Collection

Drawing this was partially inspired by the second DBZ movie.

This was the first one I scanned in a sketch. There are just some things that are better done in pencil first.

By the time I had finished drawing the body, I was already cutting away half of it and covering it with armor.

Crimson Void


This took me about 8 hours. It's one I'm quite proud of. When I was drawing the knight, I kept coming back to a bunch of Amano drawings. I love the horned but elegant look he uses. The rings were partially inspired from the final battle in FFIX. In the field, there was this cool Colosseum-like ring surrounding you and the boss. It was on a much grander scale, though.

1st Collection

I was thinking of going to do more of the mountain, but I was lazy at the time and felt clouds would be the perfect cover. Plus, it made the tower contrast more with the sky.

The only thing I can reference here is that the robot's stance is an homage to Starman from the Mother games.


There was a bit of experimentation on this one. I wanted to try a techinque Mike Krahulik used on a piece he did of Gears of War. He did a beautiful job with sunlight reflecting off the back of a character. I don't think I did it exactly the way he did it, but it's close. The clouds were done just by painting white splotches, then using the smudge tool to push it around.

After Work


All I remember when I making this was I wanted to create a living room setting with a guy watching TV.

First Tablet Piece

This is my dad. The original photo used for my first piece on the wacom.


After watching Waking Life, I came to love rotoscoping. I had always loved cel-shading, so I had both in mind when painting this one. Took quite a while.

Hello

The whole point of this blog is to start posting art that I do. I'll also share other stuff of interest. Soooo, yeah. Hope you all can enjoy.
