The Dynamics

Here's a poster I did for a band I played with in Shanghai (and with to play with again, they're awesome)...
I was hoping it came out with a bit more gut, it took too much effort to finally come out, but the band and bar liked it, so I'm happier about it now.

Formula Blood

HEY!

It's been a loooooong time.

I haven't posted because I have moved to Shanghai! And I'm now working at Spicy Horse Games. Also, with another personal side project going I don't really get much free time to draw other stuff and post here.

But a few days ago I really felt like doing something, so I ended up working late on probably the silliest picture I've ever done. I hope I can out-silly it with another one soon, though!

Cats in the shade

I just finished another personal portfolio pic, and I'm now supposed to write a tutorial on it, for GOmotion magazine.
I'll tell you when the issue where it'll be included is available. Meanwhile, here's the picture:




And also, since this is the sketch blog, a compilation of WIP shots:

Siege - pin-up

Trying to take the Siege universe one step further. Created a few more characters. I'm quite happy with the Empress, she's a very important character.

The Hotel Clerk

This is a fairly quick painting for which I was inspired by a long walk at 5 a.m. last saturday. I went out again last night to photograph the area and then painted this. Hopefully there will be more.

Havana Blues poster

Done for a Cuban music party coming up this month:

Siege General

I did this from some concepts I'd created for a wargame at my old company, which never got used:

Faxanadu

I came down with a retro NES fever, today is Faxanadu, one of the games I played the most as a kid.

Metroid

Been wanting to draw her forever, but this is the first time anything decent came out.

Kids

Done for a simple flash game my friend is building:

40's-based sci-fi quickie (or not that quick)

Killer Android

Another experiment, new take on a character of another personal project:

Jeepers Creepers

Done for the weekly activity at cloudnine. The theme is "3 colors".

BOO!

2 quick ones for the Draw My Character thread at Cloudnine:

Billy Brown

This is from last night, done from Buffalo 66. I was excited about it at first but in the end I was disappointed. NEXT TIME! I could try again, since it's probably my favourite movie.

Soul Brothers of Kung-Fu

Bukowski on Hollywood

"There's nothing, there's nobody there, I mean...

there's no place to film anymore.

I get the feeling the world is more and more drying up.
I don't know where the whores are going,
I don't know where the black pimps are going
and I don't know where the music is going."

Dolemite

From the blaxploitation masterpiece Dolemite:

Inland Empire

Blah blah, Inland Empire:

Dust Devil

Same Same, but today it's Dust Devil:

Singapore Sling

Here's one more, made from Singapore Sling, one of the sickest, most twisted movies I've ever seen. Still beautiful.

Chinatown speedpainting

I drew these after watching the movie Chinatown. Loved it.
Hadn't done anything like this in a while...

Mo' Naked Doodles

Finally got around to scan some stuff from one of the last sessions:

Andy

Done for the "draw my character" activty at cloudnine forums.
The original character is done by Jiaxing Rong, here's his sketch:

Dark alley from the mind

Pencil sketch, an then fine pen and sloppy cheap watercolors

A selection from the last 2 sessions

From a web picture of Kowloon

Don't walk.

Playing with the pens, in today's spare time:
