Sketch Doubt

Insanity

2008-06-16T23:12:00.000-07:00

This is a design that I worked on for a friend who is making an rpg with Tarot themes. I was playing with color and well...cool factor. This was one design of three alternates. I liked this one the best because of the red haze. To me it oozes a little more insanity than the others.

Gentle Gaze

I must have drawn about 4 or 5 false starts before I decided on a subject I liked. This picture is the result of experimentation in using GIMP, the photo authoring/editing freeware I am now using. I had been using soft round brushes to create sketchier drawings but I felt like making something a bit softer yet concrete. After about 10 minutes of rifling through the various brushes, I decided on the airbrush tool. And it served me well.

This was a self portrait I took a few months back. I used a 3-Megaxpixel Fujifilm digital camera and Photoshop. I went for a high contrast image that looked more like a drawing than a photograph, mostly because I like interpretation as opposed to repoduction.

Bowser

This drawing I did in Flash and added some changes in a program called The Gimp. The character, some may recognize, is Bowser of the Super Mario Bros. fame. His character design became more serious and menacing over the years and I wanted to do a drawing that reflected that change. An homage to my Nintendo years, if you would.

HEAT

This is a piece that I did a few months back in Photoshop. I like it a lot so I decided to post it even though it's not completely recent. My younger sister is very much into graffiti and urban art, so I decided to do something similar and experiment with blending text and images.

Metal Slug, Fio

I made this one after deciding that I needed to work with color some more. I was playing Snk-Playmore's Metal Slug series the other day, so I was inspired to do an interpretation of one of the characters. It's a great game with great animation and art. I wanted to catch the crazy personality of the character as well, and I hope I did it justice. Still, I need to clean up my lines before I add the color. More to come.

Et Tu Aeris

2007-03-21T09:37:00.000-07:00

Yes, I do play videogames. One of the saddest moments in video games that I have ever experienced was when I played Final Fantasy 7. One of the characters that I controlled, Aeris, was unceremoniously murdered shortly after having aquired her and put effort into making her a stronger character. The end result was that I could never play with her character again. It was both strange and sad that I would feel so strongly about about a character in a story with pretty underdeveloped characters. Then again, I was thirteen when it happened. This drawing is an homage to my nerdiness.
