ANOTHER ACTION POSE

This is a cropped panel from WRECK issue #1.

ACTION POSE

A cropped drawing of one of the pages from WRECK issue #1.  This pose took me so long to get.  I just wasn't used to drawing from this perspective, so I was constantly erasing.  But with determination and many brakes I got it pretty close to what I wanted.  I have come to the realization that I can only draw at my skill level, because I can usually see the drawing better in my head than I can actually draw.  My goal in life is to switch this, so I draw better than my imagination.  Which will probably never happen, but if I think like that I have no choice but to become a better artist.

SHINE PINUP

Here is Shine's costume, I wanted him to look like a galactic Ken from Street Fighter, I think I succeeded.

MY INSPIRATION

These artists have inspired my most recent work.

J.H. Williams III

I love his comic art, because it is so different and creative.  He does these crazy page layouts that are breathtaking as well as effective storytelling.

Gabriel Rodriguez

I love his line weight and how he uses it to create these three dimensional characters that pop right off the page.

Danny

I love the way this artist uses simple lines, color and texture to create these amazing prints.  He makes these superheroes seem less comic book like and more like graphic design.

Andrew Spear

He is one of the local artist in Orlando and he obviously loves lines, he uses beautiful crosshatching to create these giant Pop Art murals.

PROGRESS

Even though I haven't posted anything in a while I have made great progress.  I can honestly say I was self motivated, the fear of failure actually kept me going.  This is my legacy I want to leave on the world and I want to prove to everyone that you can make a good living off of art.

MAKING SLOW BUT STEADY STRIDES

Im done with the costume and ready to design the first Villian.  I hope all of this planing is worth it, I feel like I should of started pages like a week ago.  But this is what the professionals recommend, so Im taking my time and preparing everything carefully so I don't shoot myself in the foot later on. 

It was very difficult to come up with an original costume, that was also practicle in every situation.  For example; does his costume look good from the back, will it make since if someone jumps on his back, will it work with wind in ANY direction, can he move his arms up and down, can he hang up side down, is it reasonably simple to draw over and over again, does he look like any current characters, does the costume fit the genre of the story, and could it be made in real life, for cosplay and movies.  These are all the questions I asked myself when designing his costume.  I think I came up with something really awesome and iconic.  I wish I could show you, but I should probably copy right him first.

SHINE IN DETAIL

Now I'm Ready to design his costume.  So far he's coming out bad ass, I can't wait for you guys to see him in action.
