Grumps, Space People, doodles and a Kaiju

Here's a Game Grumps fanart I did a while ago!

I wanted to submit this one to a fan-made art book that the community put together, but I couldn't submit 'cause was moving to a new place in a different city. It was finished like a month after I was finally settled in the new home... I'll try again next year!

Preparation sketch to figure out the composition and layout.

Final piece

Moving on, I've been on a space kick lately. I specially love how people thought the future would be in the 50's. I've seen people calling it retro-future or paleo-future if you wanna check it out.

Rocket packs and retro-light-bulb lasers are so awesome!

I drew this one while waiting for my train home from Blizzcon. It was heavily influenced by Winston, from Overwatch.

Space chick.

This one started as a doodle, and ended up as a little Commander Holly fan art. For some reason a onesie retro space-suit felt alright for her :)

 Some random sketches, playing with a bit of  old school blue pencilled rendering.

More sketching. Testing out some gold and silver gel pens. They look pretty good and shiny in my sketchbook.

A little stroll with a fallen angel. Playing around with different kinds of brushpens.

The following pages from my sketchbook were a bit of an experiment. Very often I see spiky "triangular" hair on anime that helps creating the coolest silhouettes. I absolutely love that, but you can only create so many until they start looking alike.
I've seen some "rounder" hair as well, usually in more cartoony stuff, as well as in two of my current favorite artists: Anthony Holden, an amazing animator and comic book artist and Guillaume Singelin, another absolutely awesome comic book artist and illustrator. And because they do it I know it looks good, and I've played with that roundness a bit and is super enjoyable. But I'm not very sure if I've seen many "squared" protruding hair, and I wanted to see how it looked... and I personally kinda liked it, and got carried away.

Started sketching with some "round" hair...

And eventually switched to some square-ish heads and ended up playing around with poses for this character. 

These are quickies of people at the Airport.

 And these are some quick cool-offs before going to sleep.

To finalize this post, a monster I did for a contest that I didn't submit, because I ended up submitting a giant dinosaur having coffee in his underwear.

I remember it took me a while to get good references for this one, and it was very satisfactory to see everything shaping up nicely.

In the end I decided to go for the more cartoony route, because I was building my portfolio towards that direction, and didn't wanted to have a piece that felt too alien to the whole collection (even though I did ended up including it in a "various" category).

That's it for now. Hope you have a great weekend!

Robots, Cats, a failed Inktober and an Ork's birthday

It's been a while! 

I haven't been sketching as much as I would like to, because I have a job now. It's a pretty unlikely job though... I'm a Toy Designer. And is pretty awesome. Not only I get to brainstorm, doodle and sketch a lot, I get to build stuff and make packaging art for a ton of different toys. I've been there for 3 months and I still cannot believe it!

Here are some sketches I've done:

 Celebrating my 200 followers in Instagram =)

 Just a BA robot

 A robo-mechanic

 And my first Ink for Inktober: Infiltration

 Distraction

 Demolition

 Sneaking in

 The hangar

 An unrelated hipster chick with a gun

 and a cat riding a scooter-like robot

And this was a present for one of my best friends in the whole world, mister Sebastian Zegers, also known as Ork. Check him out here and here! He rocks.

Have a good one people!

Robbers, robots, teddy bears and ghosts!

I really like this concept of cute little animals riding old timey looking robots!

 More Ape like robots.

 A robbery

 And the inked version

 More (medieval like?) robbers

 And some older sketches non-transformers-car-robots

 Thumbnails that I did a while ago.

 And this is one of my personal favorites: a teddy bear adventuring around :)

Bumblefoot, Lamassu, old grandmas and a Steam Dog!

Lamassu for Sketchdailies!

One of my favorite guitar players of all time: Bumblefoot

Old grannies

Some icebergs thumbnails

Yoda!

Bearded people based on the lamassu, that ended up inspiring the one I did at the bottom =)

A fantasy RPG party

And a steam dog detail

Hope you have a great day!!

Pigs, Tengus, Jetpack Kids and Space Frogs

I love double spreads and speed lines. Tried them both in my sketchbook, and as you can tell by the amount of scribly lines, I was really uncertain of what I wanted. Still, I'm pretty happy with this one!

Pigs are actually one of my new favorite things to draw now. They can vary so much in shape and expression, which makes them super fun to draw!

Overconfident expressions

Some Tengu sketches!

A little inking

This is a bit old and is the picture in my business card. I feel I can paint better now, but I still kinda like the design. Next one will be better!

Cats, Hunters, Detectives and Doodles

Is not that I haven't posted because I haven't been drawing. I've been doing more drawings than ever, but everything's NDA'd for now. As soon as I can I'll post stuff about them. 

In the meantime, I'll keep posting the ones that I'm able to squeeze in between time gaps =)

Cats

Cool Helmet

 Detective Orange Nose

 A roaming robot.

 San Francisco's Palace of Fine Arts

 Loose doodles from my sketchbook

I hope you have a good day, Misters and Misses(es).
