THIS OTHER GUY

This guy was just standing there. So I sketched him.

PokéPals

I really ought to get into the habit of posting something more than once a month. Believe me, it's not that I haven't bee drawing. I have about several hundred storyboard drawings from my class to prove it. Perhaps I should post those too. Well in the meantime, here is a Pokémon doodle I did a while back and decided to color. It features three of the Generation VI Pokémon that I used in my initial play-through. From left to right respectively we have Pancham, Bunnelby, and Chespin. I gotta say, being able to view them from any angle in the game's Pokédex makes life a lot easier when using reference.

You may have noticed I removed their tails in the coloring process. For some reason no matter how I colored them they just didn't look right to me. Besides, from that angle you probably wouldn't have been able to see them anyway.

Worktime Pokémon Doodles

It's no secret that Pokémon is my all time favorite video game series so needless to say I'm pretty hyped for the release of Pokémon X & Y. I've found myself doodling some of my personal favorites over the last few days at work.

 

Owl Monkey Character Doodles

Truth be told, I didn't even know Owl Monkeys existed until a couple of days ago. A bit bizarre considering monkeys and owls are two of my favorite animals.

Mouse Guard Fanart

I've been really into Mouse Guard recently. It's a graphic novel that recently won an Eisner Award and deserving so. I've been doodling the three main leads quite a bit lately. I think in the hands of the right people Mouse Guard would make a great feature film so I thought I'd try and design them how I'd like to see them on the screen.

 Kenzie generally plays the part of the leader. Somehow I always pictured his ears being pushed up a bit. He appeared to be the most well kept of the three. I also pushed his ears up a bit more than the others. I thought it would make him look a bit more proper.

 Saxon is easily my favorite character so far. I always pictured him as an adult version of Martin from The Secret of NIMH.. So admittedly I did observe Martin quite a bit. (In fact I think I lightly sketched him on the upper left corner) I also made him a bit bulkier than the other two since he's the most prone to resort to physical combat. I'd post some facial expressions but I seem to have misplaced them. I'll update this post when I find them.

Lieam was a bit of a challenge since many of them looked too similar to Kenzie. So I decided to tweak his eyes a bit and make them a bit larger since he's the youngest character in the book. Though I'll probably post another sketch of him sometime in a more interesting pose.

Darkstalkers Character Design Contest

Capcom-Unity is apparently holding a character design contest to promote their upcoming Darkstalkers digital releases. In all honesty I've never actually entered any kind of art contest before. I think now is as good a time as any.The game is horror themed so I knew right off the bat I wanted to make a gargoyle. I've been looking at Gargoyle statues for inspiration as well as watching Disney's Gargoyles (my all time favorite cartoon!) Here are just a few doodles I jotted down after reading about the contest. I'm gonna work on making him look a little more intimidating.

BEARS!!

Grizzly bears to be precise.

FIRST PAID GIG! (and a doodle)

Been a while since my last post. Something unexpected happened last week. I got my paid animation gig! I'm assisting in the clean-up department for a segment in an upcoming film. Guess that means I'm officially a pro! To celebrate I'm posting...okay actually this is just a little something I did while watching Law & Order and has nothing to do with my job. But either way, here's a couple of quick doodles.

Redwall - Sir Harry the Muse

Another Redwall doodle. This time it's Sir Harry the Muse.

Random Characters

Some doodles from back. I'm gonna them Rooter and Django.

30 sec. Chopper Doodle

I don't need cocaine, I have One Piece.

Morning Exercises

I just came back from a week long family vacation in Indio, CA. Needless to say it was really freakin' hot outside every day and there wasn't much to do indoors. So one thing I decided to start doing was writing down a few expressions during breakfast and just coming up with some faces for them. I used some familiar faces. Well, familiar to me anyway.
