Status: Awesome



Yes it's been a while since I posted. Why? Well I was pretty sick for a while and while sick, I was trying to rest as much as I could to get better as quickly as possible. I wanted to be well for my vacation to the Bahamas. Which I got back from Yesterday actually. So 'm back at it. First up! Scott Pilgrim! AWESOME! My first complaint right off the bat is he background. I should have known better than to attempt the bg that was just lines without a ruler. Looks TERRIBLE. Scott Himself I'm a little confused by. I want to like it more than I do. There's just something that offputs it for me. It's between the Hands and the foreshortening. Oh well.

Cobra!


Ah Cobra Commander. any different variations of this character, but I decided to go with my favorite, Ultimate evil version. Badass. Anyways what to say about the drawing? well the fact that the i made the mistake of going with the all black shiny version i didn't accomplish a whole lot of work on the character. himself because I spent more time markering him up. Possibly a part two is needed.

Dead or Alive you're coming with me


I love Robocop. I try all the time to sneak him into conversation at random. I don't know why I love Robocop, but I do. The design is awesome too. So bam! Here's Robocop. There I didn't finish this quite obviously There's an entire arm and gun missing from the pic. perhaps a part 2? we'll see. overall, I like this pic. the only thing wrong is that it ain't finished.

You wouldn't Like me when I'm slightly irritated


Hulk, but an odd looking Hulk. First off, Giant fist. Terrible. Hulk looks more ape like than I'd have liked. That happens though depending on the artist. His lips are a little big and he has a whole bit of mop top going on. I should have tried the movie version with longer hair. Too bad. Hey look! It's scanned and not a crappy photo!

Kinda Fail


This is a terrible picture I know so you can't tell exactly. Sorry, it's a webcam thing. So this one has a case of time limit running out. I was drawing Alisa From Tekken 6 and I screwed up her face and whited out the eye and mouth. Then the timer went off. So we have this masterpiece. Huzzah. Screw it. Looks like shit. she looks half asleep anyway.

Souls! Come unto me!


Ah Nightmare. easily my favorite Soul Calibur Fighter. But not the easiest to draw that's for sure. One of those occasions where I just ran out of time. i'd love to have done the huge monster arm. started it. No finish. Also this version of the character has a very intricate design on the helm I didn't even touch. Maybe a part two? We'll see. First I will needoee more souls...

Lazy Days


Lazy. I did a headshot of a character with very little visual features and mostly black. Is it well done? Yeah. But lazy? Oh yea, I can admit it.

Silence is Golden


Eileen Galvin from Silent Hill 4. If by chance you think Eileen here looks familiar she should. Eileen was the inspiration for the look of Hannah back in her earlier appearances. I actually made Hannah's Middle name "Eileen" in honor of this inspiration. So how did I attempt to change Eileen up so that I wasn't just drawing Hannah a characte I draw all the time? well, Eileen has these light green eyes which I tried to emphasize. The lightness anyway, not the green. Eileen shows up in the story in this dress because she was on the way to a party when she got sucked into the silent hill world. I tried to make her a little worse for wear like she'd been there a while. There's something not quite right with the proportions though. Either the head's too large, or the torso needs to be a little longer. Or maybe both.

Hairball


Sabretooth of le X-men. It's okay I guess. The mouth is off a bit which kind of ruins it for me. Also, the hair on his back (mane?) could be better. looks more like he's on fire.

DESTROY!


And I'm back. Yes I missed TWO Days in a row there. Nice job me. Too bad. What can I say, sometimes life gets in the way. So here's your pic. It's a Sentinel! Yay! Easily the best Sentinel I've ever drawn. Put a lot of work into the head making it just right. I wanted to make scratches and paint chips on it but I just ran out of time. Ah well.
