Bastion 7 VS Darth Frostius!!!

I had a back and forth commenting session with a couple hours ago with the amazing talent Sean Galloway, and from what I saw and what he said to me it really turned on my creative juices! I wanted to do some sort of merger with his characters and mine. So I sat down and thought about it for a minute looking threw my stuff and his, and I decided to make a movie poster type piece with his characters taking on my Darth Frostius! It’s been good fun to create and I have already began to color! Since this is still a rough black and white I didn’t take the time to fix some of the cropping mistakes, but when its done it will look they way it should!

And as Sean would probably say “Hope y’all digs!”

The Green Goblin!!

I am really happy with this one! I was sitting at my desk looking at other peoples great art work on DA and it came to me that I don’t draw enough Marvel characters! SoOo I decided to get my Marvel Encyclopedia out, open it, and the first Character I saw I was going to draw! I’m glade it turned out to be Gobby! He is a really fun character to draw!

Hope you all’s like!

Beef!! and the Size Comp for the Tournament!!!

Here is the next installment of “The Tournament”!

His name is Beef, and he claims he can give that Elephant by the name of “Tusk” a run for his money!

I had a lot of fun designing this guy! I referenced so many different things and people from Sean Galloway, and Preston Blair, to Zangeif and the great book “The Way of the Warrior”!

Here is the size comp of the two characters that have been finalized thus far. As I finish each character I will add them into this and be one part closer in releasing the first issue of the comic!

Let me know!

Disney meet Marvel!

This is a little piece I did for a art topic about the Disney/Marvel buy out! This is just a guess of what the Spidey alien costume would due to Mickey haha!

As always please let me know what you think!

Pound for Pound!!!

Just trying to stay comfortable with my characters for my upcoming comic. This elephant is pound for pound a huge threat! With is background in Kalarippayattu, Sumo, and MMA he is a very feared and talented fighter trying to prove his supreme skills against the worlds best!

Part4- A Tribute to Joe Mad and to his future release Darkstalkers!!!

Got to the coloring stages. I think he really is starting to turn out! Thanks to Joe Mad for already having pretty much the colors already laid out for me. I do really like it at this stage but I may or may not do a bit more. Maybe add in a background, some highlights, I don’t know yet. Will see where it goes! Let me know if you have any suggestions!

Thanks!

Part3- A Tribute to Joe Mad and to his future release Darkstalkers!!!

I just added were the shadows will go in the image.

I have been getting some great feedback from fellow artists that I have showed this tribute piece too! I thank everybody for stopping by and I hope you enjoy this next installment!

Part2- A Tribute to Joe Mad and to his future release Darkstalkers!!!

Here is the inked version! I am gonna try some stuff when it comes to color so I had to try to keep the line weight very simular.

Hope you like!

Part1- A Tribute to Joe Mad and to his future release Darkstalkers!!!

I have always been inspired by Joe Mad. It seems with every line he puts on the paper and as his images come to life I can visualize his work jumping off the page and battling before my eyes! With that said it will now be possible for that to happen, but more so for me to create the action his characters are doing! In January 2010 Darkstalkers will be released and the epic struggle of the apocalypse from Joe’s eyes will come to life!

I felt an urge to create a piece for sometime now on this new epic that is about to become, and so looking over many of Joe’s pieces on the main character “War” I found one that I really liked, and so I set off to do a Josh Frost version of the piece. I plan on doing a three part series of this image. Of course this being the first one. The next installment will be it inked, and the final  being in color!

So please come back and enjoy!

A New Idea!

So for a bit now I have been developing a comic book with fighting characters, a almost “Street Fighter” type tournament fighter story. I have been having trouble with some of the development of the characters when all of a sudden I was looking through some inspirational  art books and watching some classic cartoons when it hit me to try the book in a new way…  With animal characters! I developed one real quick to see if it would work! I think it may be a fun idea! Let me know what you think!
