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!

"It worked..." pre-ink and ink

In an attempt to re-vitalize this blog, here you go! A new post!!

I almost did this one in Inktober, but I was getting pummeled under tons of work and just couldn't find the time to properly ink it. I might re-ink this one with more details though, but still like it so here it goes!  

Have a good one!!

(Unfinished) Sketches

Yep, is been a while... not having internet and a scanner really plays against my blog updating. Oh well!
Here, some drawings from my sketchbook!

Old guy sitting on a bunch of fish... which is related to a drawing that I gave to my super friend Micheelsen over ten years ago!

 I wanted to draw a guy that looked kinda pathetic... but could still kick my ass. So here you have a big headed knight.

 A working class demon. They exist, you know?

 I love fighting games! I was thinking of a how a super robotics nerd would take on a big guy, and here you go! I had read not too long ago that Dr. Octopus had names for his four tentacles, and I kinda liked that, so I named the boxing gloves too: Paf, Bam, Boom and Ka-Boom! In that order!

Caricatures of people from when I visited Vancouver. Except for Lion-O, of course (he doesn't live there) who's really passionately screaming THUNDER.

 Sketches and faces. The asian guy at the lower left corner is from a MUNI ride.

 Basketball player, directly influence by Feerik. Check his stuff. I wanna be like him when I grow up.

 Unfinished sketch of inmates.

This one is missing one drawing that I haven't done yet. While listening to some Dubstep, right before the drop. You know, the BWOOOBWOOOBWOOOBWOOOW!!!!!!

Look at that! An update!!

Have a good day earthlings! I'm going back to work.

Cheers!

Guerrilla sketch

Sketch, molotov cocktails, smoke and torsion.

Salud!

Oldie

This is quite an old drawing. I think it has at least five or six years, and is one of the few ones from that time that I still think is worth showing. I actually like it quite a bit =)

Maybe's the consistency of a style that I usually don't follow, the geometric shapes or maybe is the composition that surprisingly doesn't suck, considering it was made in a moment I didn't actually cared about that... oh well, I still like it!

I'll have a bit batch of drawings soon.

See you then!

Este es uno bastante viejito. Creo que tiene alrededor de cinco o seis años, y es uno de los pocos de esa época que creo que aún muestro sin pudor. Es más, me gusta bastante :P

Quizás sea por la consistencia de un estilo que no hago mucho, por lo geométrico, o por que la composición me quedó bastante piola de un cuevazo... en fin, aún me gusta!

Pronto voy a subir un kilo de dibujos más nuevos.

Nos vemos ahí!
Salú!

Old sketchbook drawings

I'm currently filling two sketchbooks, there's a third one half-way, a fourth that I was about to start using but decided not to because of all the others -I did draw a couple of things in it already- and a fifth one that it's still wraped because I want to save it for the last of the bunch (is like a giant sized moleskine, so I'm savouring all the others and letting this one as the chocolate bottom you find in a delicious ice-cream). Don't really know why... Sometimes I feel like a dog trying to carry four tennis balls at the same time.

Oh well!! Old sketchbook time!!

There was a time when I went and visit a lot this (almost always) empty bar where me beautiful friend GRMZ used to work. I sketched this in one of those visits.

I drew a similar chicken-rooster-whatever in one of the starbucks checks and just felt like drawing this... (respect the sock!)

After watching a Batman drawing somewhere, I thought "why does batman has those horn-like thingies?? I know that they are the ears of the bat, but is it really a recognizable part of the animal?". So I went for "Sharkman" using the same bat-mask idea (love the concept of adding "bat" to something, and is automatically property of mr Bat). He has a recognizable fin that according to me is a better symbol of shark than ears representing a bat... just sayin'. (I also think he would be a super gross cannibal)

Playing with random elements such as lettering, a girl in stripes, a sausage and a turtle. I like turtles.

Had this strange Idea for some time...

It's an octopus with a capitol R and coctail umbrellas, in case you didn't notice.

So, around a year ago (I think) someone came up with a way to make google translate beat box (press the "listen" button), and I thought it was a great excuse to do some (amateur) lettering.

Not really finished, a "sherlock holmes" robot.

Detail.

This is a short story of a drummer octopus I have in my head. Not showing scenes, only the character.

Subway sketch.

Hope you like it!

"El Divinísimo Anticristo"

This is a quick drawing of an urban celebrity that roams the "Santiago Centro" sector in Santiago, Chile.

My best shot at this guy's name in english would be "the very highly divine anti-christ". He is kind of a living legend. From what I know, he used to study literature (or something related) and for some reason he went nuts. Now he usually wears women's dresses (because according to him, the anti-christ is hermaphrodite and he can wear whatever he wants); carries a supermarket kart with weird things in it, like a left shoe, cables and radio transistors, some novels and writings he did; and yells the most amazingly unrelated and random things with a super high pitch voice to people passing by. If you stare, he might tell you something about a Spaniard galleon, a politician named Chadwick, the zoo and mango juice.

Let me give you an example... around a year ago me and some friends ran into him. For some reason he was heading the same direction as we, and after hearing us talk in a good mood after a good lunch, this guy stopped us and said: "in the morning, after you take your hallucinogen pills, when you go head-hunting focus on the people with the biggest money sign over their heads. Those are the worthy ones". I still keep his words of wisdom very close...

Have a good one!

Salud!!

Así se vería el viejo pascuero

Afeitado.

Saludos!!

Barbas!

Vi un lápiz y dibujé esto. Las rayas amarillas son de un pincel nuevo que me compré y se hicieron solas en la hoja (estaba puro weveando xD). Las demás rallas eran de.... no se, pero bueh! Me gustó como quedó el barbudo, así que lo subo.

Saludos!!

Nunca me pidas el cuaderno para estudiar!

Ahora les voy a subir mis apuntes en distintas reuniones y exposiciones.

Este lo hice mientras hablábamos de las complejidades en el videojuego, de los niveles de dificultad y las posibles representaciones de los niveles en los distintos tooltips que vamos a poner en los objetos del videojuego. Yo por mientras pensaba que el mundo debiera ser un poco más feliz al momento de una foto y todos debieran tener una pequeña cara sonriente, tanto el ladrón, como el loco que trota siendo asaltado, el paco de fondo, los arboles y el sol xD

Aquí hubo una discusión importantísima con respecto a otras instituciones que no habían cumplido su pega. Mención aparte, el mini-tanque que hay abajo, lo saqué de la forma de un transportador (esa cosita semicircular que mide los ángulos que uno usaba en el colegio y que siempre la "calcaba" como guía para hacer uno que otro jugo en el cuaderno).

Me parece que aquí hablabamos de... algo? No recuerdo. Así que me puse a dibujar al gurú de INTERNETZ del lab, a mr. Edward Keyboardhands!

Dos fotos más arriba hay un ligero "rant" en torno a una institución que no estaba cumpliendo... bueno, esto sintetiza un poco el sentimiento :P

No quiero revelarla entera, pero voy a aclarar que tanto el kappa como el oni que hay ahí son dos grupos dentro del lab.

Y en esta reunión claramente no recuerdo demasiado. A menos que haya sido sobre corazones, conejos ninjas y mayordomos, no creo que sea demasiado certera. De todas formas, yo estaba muy contento por que había aprendido a dibujar corazones algo más reales, jajaja.

Salud!!
