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!

Noodle Samurai Gang!

Some tuscan red col-erase goodness! 

It was a quick assignment so I didn't have the luxury of designing too much. I decided that my 3 samurai would follow the shapes of a triangle, a square and a circle, and then to start the compositions.

Weeeeell, new post everybody. I'm close to my post 200! I'll try to make it big =)

Have a great one!

Characters 'n sketchbooks

These are some sketches I've done that I decided to put together.

If you follow this blahg you've probably seen most of them, but there are still some new ones, I think. And if you're new around here, welcome! Hope you like this random bunch of sketches.

Have a good one!

Shading "Monsters aren't always under the bed"

No hay mucho que decir sobre éste... Tuve que sombrear el dibujo, lo que siempre es un desafío gigante. Traté de ser más inteligente esta vez y organizar los elementos con máscaras para hacer el trabajo más fácil, pero igual quedé con un archivo de photoshop de más de 20 layers. Bleh, por lo menos ahora quedé contento con el resultado =P 

-------------------------

Not much to say about this... I had to shade this drawing, which surely was a huge challenge. I tried to be smarter this time and organize the elements with masks in order to make it an easier job, but still, I ended up with 20+ layers photoshop file. Oh well, this time at least I'm happy with the result =)

A step by step (Uuuh baby!)

Y claro, éste de abajo es el último. Le di un ligero tinte morado, que encontré apropiado para el ambiente.

And of course, the definitive one is the one below. I gave it a slightly purple tone to set up the mood a bit.

Hope you like it!!

See you soon earthlings!!

"Monsters aren't always under the bed" aka "Drawing from imagination" 2

Pensaba en el monstruo que se derretía en un monolito que vi en un comic de Conan, en Kaneda de Akira y en un macrófago haciendo fagocitosis... y pensé que esa clase de monstruos son los de aspecto más asqueroso, y quizás lo que más susto me darían.

Por lo mismo, como he estado más o menos interesado en estos dibujos un poco de "terror", quise crear en este nuevo encargo esa especie de monstruo no tan manoseado... buena onda con los zombies, vampiros y hombres lobo, pero por creepyness esto es lo más asqueroso, jajaja.

I was thinking in this melting monster from a monolith I saw in a Conan comic, in Akira's Kaneda and in a macrophagus fagociting (not even sure if that's correct)... and I thaught that those kind of monsters are the most disgusting ones, and also the ones who would scare the crap out of me.

For the same reason I've been more or less interested in this "horror" ilustrations, and I wanted to draw in this new assignment this kind of monster that hasn't been used that much... I mean, zombies, vampires and werewolves are cool, but if we measure creepyness, this ones are by far the most disgusting, hehe.

Two vertical vanishing points.

Have a good one!!
