Matsuricon 2011

2011-08-22T14:56:00.001-07:00

This was my second year attending MatsuriCon in Columbus, and it was a blast from start to finish. Not only were the costumes great, but the people who attended were fun and engaging. I participated in one panel during the show; Collaborating with writers and artists, which was a lot of fun to do, and hopefully informative to the audience. My sales were also strong, especially on Saturday. I spent so much time doing commissions that my neck almost got stuck in place.

MatsuriCon is run and staffed by a great group of people. I'm really looking forward to next year's show. Maybe I'll see you there. ;)

Independence Day

2011-07-01T15:06:00.000-07:00

Captain America, done with mixed media. I sold this for an amount I'm not proud of, but I needed the money. What can I say?

Its been a long time....

I should have been updating this site more often. Anyways, I've still been drawing of course. I attended a few art shows and conventions this year, and I've been pretty proud of my progress. I figured since so many places link here, I might as well continue to update.

Enough with the rambling. Here is a pic of Ladytron from WildCats, one of my guilty pleasures growing up.

Batman

2010-09-17T09:38:00.003-07:00

There's a great story behind this pic. However, I don't feel like talking about it right now. All I want to say is that I'm glad I finished it. :)

Psychic Soldier Kai number 1 cover

2010-07-18T16:19:00.001-07:00

I redid the cover to my webcomic PSK. I felt that the original cover just didn't do the book justice. You can read my comic here: http://www.webcomicsnation.com/measley/

Onimusha

2010-07-18T16:17:00.001-07:00

Been awhile since I updated this blog. Figured I might as well use this as a my online gallery since I'm too cheap to purchase a real one! Anyway, here's an Onimusha pic I did a long time ago. Thanks for looking.

Halo

2009-06-21T16:16:00.001-07:00

Glad I was finally able to do a Halo pic. This was a commission done for a friend. Very happy how it came out too. I'll have more very soon.

Pirates!

2009-04-07T22:02:00.001-07:00

Some people ask me what the heck I was thinking with this picture. Its really simple; This pic was for a contest on Digitalwebbing.com. Basically the goal was to show pirates finding the "X". I decided to do this pic for 2 reasons;

1. I wanted to do a color piece with a background.
2. I wanted to use an angle I don't usually get to utilize.

In the end I won the contest, and this remains a personal favorite of mine. :)

A lot of people also say that I didn't use shadows in this picture. I'm always surprised by this. There's a reason why the ground gets darker once you get passed the female pirate standing with the sword....

Ben 10

2009-04-07T21:54:00.001-07:00

My nephews loved this picture, and I loved drawing it for them. There's something awesome about giving a kid a unique picture of his favorite character. Money, toys, etc. can't replace it. You're giving them something that only they have, and they really treasure it.

As for Ben 10, great show with a great concept. The main reason I was excited about doing this was because I knew the colors could really rock this picture and make it something special. I wasn't disappointed.

Darkstalkers

2009-04-07T21:49:00.001-07:00

I did the Bishamon pic on the bottom for Udon's Darkstalker tribute competition. Didn't quite make it in, and that was a little disappointing. However at the same time, I'm very proud of the piece. I like how the colors turned out, and I got to draw a kick-ass Samurai demon. How cool is that? As for the Anakaris pic, its one of my personal faves. I really like how I did the headdress and the wrappings in this picture.

Full Metal Alchemist

2009-04-07T21:43:00.000-07:00

My favorite anime of all time. Great story and great characters. They're actually doing a reboot of the original series to make it more closely follow the manga. Hope it turns out well.

Fantastic Four

2009-04-07T21:31:00.000-07:00

My favorite group of superheros after the X-Men. I've always enjoyed the fantastic four. I think my favorite run is the John Byrne run in the early to mid 80s. The crazy thing about that was that Byrne was doing FF and X-Men at the same time! Talk about a beast!

Hellboy

2009-04-07T21:29:00.001-07:00

My most recent illustration. I've been dying to do a Hellboy pic for a long time, and I'm extremely proud of it. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.
