That's what it looks like.

Roughing it

2011-08-14T14:49:00.000-07:00

The rough for my skylord print. I still kind of like this more than the final. Just looks a little more crazy with is what I like to see. Those clouds sure are low though.

My Day.

2011-06-16T13:15:00.001-07:00

Thanks for the gift, Mr. Dove.

It's coming

2011-05-21T12:03:00.000-07:00

I'm telling you, the penis craze is coming. I'm preparing for it. It's going to hit hard and fast AND deep. You won't even see it coming, you'll just feel it. People are going to want as much as possible and will probably pay any price to get their hands on some. So I say start drawing them now, so when the penetrates the hearts and minds of the world, you'll be ready to give them what they want. For a price. I figure I'll have about 200 different paintings ready to go before it hits.
Be ready.

PS. For some reason this . . . er Wolverine vs. Hulk picture was pretty popular last year. I sold 2 . . . because I only had 2.

Gotta Go Fast

2011-05-17T22:16:00.000-07:00

What can I say ...

Gotta go fast

My Sonic print for this year. 100% Sonic quality.

Interspecies breeding

2010-09-24T23:46:00.000-07:00

Ok, these ones got a little out of hand. Granted they are the more odd looking of the monsters but maybe I could have held back a bit more.

Monster Hunter Cafe

2010-09-19T11:01:00.000-07:00

I went down to the local monster watering hole. With my trusty binoculars in hand, I drew everyone who showed up for a drink.

More souls for the offering!

2010-09-15T12:32:00.000-07:00

Right after the Shadow of the Colossus/ICO ps3 bundle was confirmed, my game of the year 2009, Demon's Souls, achieved Greatest Hits status. This almost guarantees a sequel since it sold 500,000+ copies out of no where.

They'll be bigger than ever!

2010-09-11T08:33:00.000-07:00

Wal-mart is already taking preorders. It must be true! Finally it has come!

You don't have half of the map to this.

2010-09-10T10:29:00.000-07:00

*Spoilers ahead! If you actually believe Monster Hunter can be spoiled*

Boy oh boy, that last boss. Giant leviathan elder dragon. Ceadeus! He sure beats Lao Shan Lung in epicness. A huge lumbering dragon slowly walking down a canyon towards a city wall with some defenses. Pfft. I'd rather have my giant, elegant, horned whale, gliding through massive underwater caves lit by thin beams of light from above. It was incredibly surreal. Helped mainly by the music. And in the end he actually fights you, all the while some track, reminiscent of Ghost in the Shell, plays in the background. Either way it was a great "final" boss.

I really should add in Cha-cha to the right to balance this thing's composition out but just having the one character fits the feel much better.

Hunt in your dreams

2010-09-08T16:51:00.000-07:00

I seem to have trouble choosing between updating my blog and my deviantart. Why can't I just update both at once?! I don't know. Its terrible. I'm sure one could guess which took priority recently.

Anyways, I had a dream I was watching, playing, or in a game of monster hunter and this was the monster being fought. It just looks like a T-rex with its neck and head missing. I'm not sure what my subconscious mind was thinking when it came up with that.

Snakes! Why did it have to be snakes?!

2010-07-07T21:36:00.000-07:00

I just HAD to do a Snake print.

My only regret is I didn't do it in time for AX 2008 when I met David Hayter. But I finally got around to making one.

Trying to think of the coolest Snake image was taxing. It began with 'which Snake is the most bad ass'. Well I'd say Big Boss Snake from MGS3. Then what is the most bad ass image of him. Of course when he's all hardcore topless like an 80's action movie hero laying into some baddies with a Mosin Nagant . . . wait no, a machine gun!

So after watching a couple of Rambos, Commandos, Terminators and the like, I came up with a pile of ridiculous machine gun poses.

Thin those out to a triawesome of candidates. And then finally select our lucky winner.

Stick a bunch of 'too new' gun silhouettes and a camo looking metal texture in the background. Make it a crazy bright color and hopefully the end result looks like the PSP MGS promo artwork.

This didn't actually start as a print. More just for fun. But I saw potential in that sweaty torso of manliness.

Bad ass Mission: Success.

E3 Orgasm

2010-06-16T01:53:00.000-07:00

Well the Big Three's press conferences have come and gone with plenty of ups and downs. Surprises like, Nintendo dumping a steaming pile of games all over and Sony(who I thought was going to impress me the most) not bringing anything I was hoping for.
No shows Last Guardian, Pikimin 3, Demon's Souls 2, Ico/SotC HD pack and Uncharted 3 made me pretty sad. Most of those are long shots but Last Guardian? Come on now!
Twilight Princess' uneasy steps towards the Wind Waker style just seemed weird. I read that it looks that way to pay tribute to 19th century impressionism. Also that(finally) "Skyward Sword" will feature a soundtrack not unlike Mario Galaxy's. Hurray!
Anyways here is a review of a couple of random E3 announcements. Reviewed with facial expressions.(Let me just completely skip the sports stuff to avoid an overflow of negative faces)

Overall I'd say I'm probably going to be taking home a majority of the things I saw on stage over the last 2 days. My wallet is quivering with anticipation.

BREAKING NEWS

2010-06-14T22:56:00.000-07:00

George Walton Lucas, Jr., died today at age 66. During an interview at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in L.A. about his involvement in the new title "Star Wars The Old Republic" it was brought to Mr. Lucas' attention that his shoe was untied. In his attempt to look down and tie it, he succumbed to his Jabba Du Neck which quickly suffocated him. He died standing, just like Obi Wan. George Lucas was known for being the owner, and visionary behind the Star Wars franchise. He will be dearly missed . . . despite the terrible atrocities he committed with Episodes one, two and three.

Hate Lakitu

2010-06-13T23:00:00.000-07:00

Autum hates Lakitu. Most annoying enemy in any Mario game ever. An enemy that stays out of reach, follows you, and tosses nigh invincible spiky turtles in your path. And that's why Autum loved the hammer bros suit. She can't hate everything!

Autum loved Kuribo boot too. Nothing can stop the green boot. Not even Bowser.

Autum hate Tanuki

2010-06-11T02:38:00.000-07:00

Can't say Autum was too happy with the Tanuki suit. I guess it is somewhat embarrassing.

While I wait for the means to get my commissions from Akon onto my blog, I will mention that I finally, after 20 years, completed Mario Bros 3. Completed every level in every world that I could see on the map. I played this game to death when I was younger. Trying to remember if I beat it or not ...and I can't. I know I used to flutes to skip most of the game and the P power to skip most of the final levels. Not sure if I beat Bowser though.

In any case, now it is complete!

Apparently Autum is not fond of the frog suit either. Maybe its because you look like you're being eaten when you wear it. She is not a Vorarephile.

Damn, did she like any of the new power ups?

Kingslayer

2010-06-09T21:08:00.000-07:00

Finally got around to ending poor, fallen Arthas. Earning me the title of Kingslayer. Which I think is the coolest title one can get, at least in a fantasy game.

Always popping out my home city flag, standing next to my favorite taurens. There's the new Lich King in the back, all flamey eyed and huge head.

Thank god Tirion isn't in this shot, I hate that guy.

Burn the Heretic! Kill the Mutant! Purge the Unclean!

2010-06-01T22:30:00.000-07:00

Aside from silly comics, I also like to whip out some nasty faces. Simple yet grotesque and very fun to draw. All inspired by the crude MSpaint drawings and awkward postings of anonymous web forums/image boards(ya that's right, avoid naming the place, we all know it) Here we have someone who clearly shouldn't be allowed on the internet.

And then for the ever so common rage inducing forum topic:

Do you know the difference?

2010-05-31T13:25:00.000-07:00

I'd like to think this is the difference between the casual gaming experience and the hardcore gaming experience . . . if it was a restaurant dining experience.

Drawing little comics is fun and relaxing. I'd invite anyone to give it a whirl.

THE KINGDOM IS IN PERIL....

2010-05-11T22:12:00.000-07:00

...build me a statue.

King Varian Wrynn puts a statue of himself outside his newly upgraded keep in Stormwind. Meanwhile, an entire section of the city, The Gardens, is a smoking hole in the ground.

Priorities man . . . priorities.

Who the hell are you?

2010-05-05T22:00:00.000-07:00

No, seriously. Who are you?

Turkey, needles and boots with a view

2010-04-29T20:25:00.000-07:00

More themed sketches.

Food and Eating! I did an umbilical cord eating...a baby...turkey head. Sorta like how some animals which come from eggs will have a little nutrient sack to feed off of. In this case its a turkey head.

Zombie dog! Um. This is more of a zombie seeing eye dog. Sort of stitched together with whats left of the blind owner and attached to a wheel chair. The other dog is from a nightmare I once had which had little dogs with no heads. Instead their flesh was stretched over a sewing needle.

Shoes and boots! And because everyone got used to me drawing nasty weird things, I made a boot house. A fine boot house really. One I'd be proud to live in and call home. Maybe it's a boot cottage.

Now for fun, for all of these themed sketches, guess which were chosen by girls and which were chosen by guys.

Hold the phone...my font color changed.

What a long, strange trip it's been.

2010-04-28T14:36:00.000-07:00

Not a trip. Well ok there was that trip to China but I'm not counting that.
October saw a disgusting overflow of games come my way. It didn't let up till March! Owning all four systems(ps3,360,Wii,PC) can be painful at times since you're given so many option for gaming. Only a couple years ago I had but one of those four.

But anyways how about a list!
Demon's Souls
Uncharted 2
Ratchet and Clank
Dragon Age: Origins
Halo ODST
Assassin's Creed 2
Mass Effect 2
Resident Evil 5 DLC
God of War 3
Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Wow I think that's it. Not to mention small doses of the social experiment known as WoW.
And THEN a trip to China. Now its Convention Season! Which means working on prints.
I haven't been slacking this whole time oh no. I drew every day. I just didn't post.

I joined in on some daily sketching for a bit. Roughly one hour to draw a themed drawing hosted by ò_ó
Not sure what the theme was for this one. Baby bear? And I did a bear baby.

Mantroller

2009-10-22T22:04:00.000-07:00

Backyard kitten is off to his own home! Everyone back to work!

Damn you Maneater!!

Forget spiders!

2009-10-17T23:00:00.000-07:00

Now we have mysterious backyard kitten to look after.

Kindly old man

2009-10-14T22:03:00.001-07:00

I don't know whats going on here.

Nest noodles

2009-10-13T22:14:00.000-07:00

Ha! I found him, now larger than ever after he finished molting in his little nest(the one on the bottom left is a new guy from downstairs) I've been keeping tabs on these spiders all summer. Earlier in the year there was a much larger one in the bathroom that was killed. She turned out to be the mother. Not much longer after that there were tons of tiny ones running around on the ceiling. Lots of them died. As far as I can tell about 5 of them made it to adulthood, keeping watch over various rooms from the ceilings. Now if only they'd kill house centipedes we'd be best friends, but they dominate the floors so they never meet. They also eat spiders. Good thing they're out of season!

Internet slowness makes it impossible to update.

More space than I need.

2009-10-12T22:20:00.000-07:00

A lot more somewhere

oh there

Blue, Khaki and Green.

2009-10-07T21:42:00.000-07:00

Genesis Jurassic Park was annoying and great. Get to play as a raptor? YES! Eat poor compsognathus? Damn right! No face Autum(Grant) with her useless taser gun, smoke nades and darts some how makes it through some pretty crazy stuff. The best part? Screen shaking and thumping sounds followed by a HUGE T-Rex head busting through the wall, eating grant and leaving nothing but a floating hat. And then you beat the game by dropping a skeleton on 2 raptors.

Wait a sec. On closer inspection...

When did they get hats?

Flee Cowards!

2009-10-06T22:30:00.000-07:00

I don't know what this is.

Is that a cat?

2009-10-05T23:56:00.001-07:00

My friend! This little dude is on the ceiling above the bed. I enjoy keeping tabs on my house spiders. He used to be much smaller. I think he went in there to molt and now he appears larger. Maybe that's why he has the safety nest over him. I guess I could just read about it on Wikipedia or something.

It was a fine day.

2009-10-04T20:31:00.000-07:00

This is a story all about how hanging of edges brings victory!
So here's me, cool gas mask wearing pistol russian accent guy.

I had it pretty good up on this balcony safely overlooking the battlefield. Until this nut job with an RPG comes up. He wants to shoot me real bad. But there's not enough space unless he wants to kill himself too! I'm all pro hanging like a monkey(I'm sure if he shot the wall behind me he would have been successful, but he is ANGRY!)

He doesn't like the hanging! Uh oh he got too close!

Down you go!

Down down into a pit of darkness and failure.
I'm sure he'd be upset to know that I took his RPG and when his buddy tried to take my balcony...

... POW! I used it on him.

Screenshots taken in the Uncharted 2 multiplayer beta, which is really fun due to the climbing, cover system and fun melee attacks. You can also watch replays of any of your games and then take neato screenshots which allow you to tweak things like; camera tilt, depth of field, fog, lighting, color and more! Look what fun little stories they make too!

I solved it!

2009-10-03T21:20:00.001-07:00

Back from New York and that's seriously the types of hints you pay for in the Professor Layton games. I have yet to see them cause DS snapping rage yet though. I'm glad I went back to the MET, I had forgotten how amazing the statues are there. I've got some pictures around here somewhere ... hmm.

Old School Scribbles

2009-09-22T23:25:00.000-07:00

All over my school notes! I wish I had them here so I could scan them. They are elsewhere. The main one there, Happy Skull or Felix Kaput, originated from me not understanding that the little dude in halloween land from Super Mario World 2, was a hockey mask. Not a skull with a knife in it. Then me being me had a story(on my french notes) where the knife was removed and he became happy skull. Then inspired by a combination of a goomba from Mario and carbuncle from Puyo Puyo, I made Goosh, Happy's side kick( and some story about him being an evil goomba, getting stepped on and becoming a microbrained giddy sponge thing) Then there's tank man(inspired by an old dos Tank game which later became scorched earth) and old school Immp. I think there was a foul mouthed snow man too.
Pretty lame stuff but it was either this or Super Mario Land 2 Fire Autum, and that's just embarrassing.

This is my land!

2009-09-21T22:00:00.000-07:00

Super Mario Land. Why is the first dungeon Egypt? China?! Whatever. Autum is apparently not good at the jumping portions of these games. Oh well she'll make it. And ya I think those are the classic colors not much to work with!
Oh then there's that creepy music:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxDy8oNSqno

Fire Autum cheats.

2009-09-17T23:37:00.000-07:00

Original colors for fire Luigi! Remember them?! He had green hair and look no gloves! Obviously Autum cheats because you can't jump kick koopa troopas. As a kid I always thought the fire flower made them spit fire from their mouth and then throw it with their hand. So I always called it spit fire instead of fire flower. So weird.

Muramasa Immpu

2009-09-16T23:58:00.000-07:00

Someone said Immp looked a lot like Muramasa's male protagonist, Kisuke. I agree! He'd probably look like this if he was in that world though.

This is HQ! What's the situation?!

2009-09-16T00:38:00.000-07:00

Why is Snake such a meanie. I know I'm the one controlling him but does he really need to knock them out so they can get shot while face planted? Stealing their weapons over and over again is bad too. Look at him. He just lives to mess with him. Making them drop their weapons then shooting them in the ass, only to drag them in front of an oncoming tank. What a douche.

Now in 3d

2009-09-14T22:25:00.001-07:00

Well not on here just yet. Random ship weapon junks.

It cannot be helped

2009-09-13T23:48:00.000-07:00

Muramasa the Demon Blade. Now there is a pretty game. Painting in motion is correct. My sketching up there does it little justice. Akihime ... ahem...I mean Autum would probably fit nicely into that world. She is a bit meaner than Momohime. Look she kicked out all the monkeys after they so kindly lead her to the steam bath.
Boss battles are great, combat feels great everything looks nice, fun sword forging system, great music. Whats there to complain about? Ok two things maybe. I kind of wish the sub-areas didn't have to load and could be seamless instead. This would make it less obvious how often they reuse the beautiful backgrounds. I haven't gone completely through the game yet but I feel I've seen all the normal enemies the game has to offer. There's higher level versions but they don't even have recolors or anything. But again I have no idea how far I am from the end.

Little Big Stripclub

2009-09-11T22:52:00.000-07:00

Little Big Planet is a great game with an overwhelming custom creation mode I have yet to touch on. I especially like the music, like in this underground strip club which plays this song - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ScnxAkpbnc
The rest of the game's music is great as well. I dunno why Sackgirl Autum doesn't like it. Maybe its because she has no clothes ... or she doesn't like pink.

Poor Shepard

2009-09-10T21:34:00.000-07:00

Poor Ragtime Shepard. He can have his choice of any woman he works with except the one he actually wants. Delicious Tali'Zorah nar Rayya. Tali always masked, always so cheerful and positive how could he resist.

But alas it cannot and never will be. Denied all that he could ever want ... ever need.
Unless ...

MGO

2009-09-09T23:16:00.001-07:00

Metal Gear Online is a pretty fun game. Mainly because of its silliness. Getting knocked out and frisked is pretty great. Its fun until it becomes all headshots. Autum doesn't seem to enjoy it too much. Maybe she needs to use something other than a badly drawn tranq rifle.

Tender Shoveltusk Steak

2009-09-08T15:47:00.000-07:00

And the long weekend comes to a close! I didn't even really know it was here. I wouldn't have if it wasn't for the great company I kept. ... OH and the MEAT! Here I am chowing down:

Ha ha well no ... I guess it wasn't like that exactly. More like this:

Either way the result was the same:

Oh and a PS3 Slim:

Maybe?

2009-09-03T20:14:00.001-07:00

Now if I settle on any of these I need to figure out how to simplify them into just 30 - 40 straight lines. Should be fun!

Space Shoota!

ONOIR

2009-08-29T18:28:00.000-07:00

So I went to a restaurant called Onoir(www.onoir.com) today. The theme is ... you eat as if you are Blind! You eat in a room completely devoid of light. You never see your surroundings or your meal or the other people eating in the room with you(besides those you came with of course) The point is the food's flavor and texture are supposed to be that much better when your eyes arent being used. Its hard to say if this was true because the food was so damn good anyways. Here's some pictures of my 3 course meal.

Here you can see my "Grilled portobello mushroom with parmigiano shavings, and balsamic vinegar" It was amazing and fun trying to fork what I could not see. I ended up eating most of it with my hands.

This is the "Five spice fillet mignon served with potatoes and asparagus." Damn that was some juicey fillet mignon, medium rare as always. The fun part of this is when I tried to eat the asparagus I accidentally stuck it up my nose.

And finally the desert! "Dark chocolate mousse with raspberry" So good and a great ending to my meal. I love dark chocolate mousse!
All their servers were actually blind which was pretty interesting too. I also found out my watch hands glow in the dark! I had to hide it in my pocket because, yes, the room was just that Dark that tiny glowing watch hands were a distraction. I found the darkness to be comforting and would definately go again.

Ragtime

2009-08-28T21:43:00.000-07:00

Ragtime Shepard. He's a loose cannon! But a DAMN good cop. First human specter, savior of the galaxy! He also has some creepy blue eyes and the voice of a weeny 18 year old pizza delivery boy. Go figure.
Splosion man made me want to start drawing things from my game collection! This one being the first ... or second.

NEEEEEROOOOOOW! BORT! Bort! Bort.

2009-08-27T14:09:00.001-07:00

I just bought Splosion Man on XBLA the other day. What a great simple and fun game it is! Splosion man is just some guy that can blow himself up 3 times. Your goal is to escape a lab by blowing you way through many puzzles and enemies, all the while collecting delicious cake. The explosion acts as a single, double and triple jump aswell as a wall jump. It has multiplayer too which is great when you finally get some good timing and coordination between you and your partner. It becomes an explosive dance as you blow up off of each other and walls. The character himself is pretty funny with some great animations and voices. Its well worth the 800 points it costs to download it. Now for some pork chop and apples sauce ... mmm mmm GOOD.

Where to?

2009-08-26T23:48:00.000-07:00

Burr Ave. Haha! Right next to my place. All this time. Here I thought calling Bears, Burs or Burrs was my cool idea but it was right in my face all along.

And with a little shoopin ...

Mouth fit for a toblerone bar.

2009-08-25T21:16:00.000-07:00

Worgan are really cool and all, but before I'd ever contemplate making one, I'd like Blizzard to do away with that god awful human model/texture. It is so dated and ugly compared to most things in they game. If they're going to give all the old stuff a complete overhaul, they better address some of the sadder areas of the characters. Humans with their monster eyebrows, triangle bending teeth mouths, goofy run cycle and weird lumpy bodies. Sure as a worgan you can switch back and forth at will, but which form is the TRUE monster?!

My Eyes

2009-08-23T18:10:00.000-07:00

When I sit in front of my computer for entire days staring at my huge screen my eyes feel like they're swollen beyond belief. When I close my eyes it feels like my lids are being stretched over HUGE burning spheres. That is the sign of a GREAT day. And my eyes look like that.

Then I saw the Deathwing artwork...

Bathing in star light

2009-08-17T21:21:00.000-07:00

Ah I love summer heat. So many good memories as a child lazing around in the hot humid air. But damn when you need to get stuff done the heat isn't the greatest for motivation. Makes you feel like you should just lie down somewhere and melt away into a puddle. Not a painful Wicked Witch of the West puddle but a nice relaxed and sleepy puddle. Maybe tomorrow, work ... maybe tomorrow.

Comon boyz, we gonna have us a WAAAAAAAAGH!

2009-08-16T23:54:00.000-07:00

So many cool things about the greenskins. They're the best orcs from universe I can think of. I do like the WoW ones, all shamanistic and noble. But they're almost more like Klingons than what orcs should be. Rough housing beasts who live for nothing but battle. Thats what I like. The warhammer orcs were bred for battle. They are infact a Biological weapon created by an ancient race to combat the deadly Necron armies and their Citan sun gods. Obviously I need to write more about this...

I'm Dah Biggest Ork DERE ES!

2009-08-15T23:58:00.000-07:00

G.I. Joe!

2009-08-14T23:56:00.000-07:00

No I didn't see the movie but I did try to make my Vegas 2 dude look like one. In a game that's as scary as any from the horror genre due to sudden and shocking round the corner face melting head removing deaths ... you have to look like a badass.

Letters to Jon Suh

2009-08-13T23:16:00.000-07:00

The elusive Jon Suh, always disappearing, going MIA and generally not existing. To get his attention I attempted to stir his interest with a couple of letters I would send daily:

Hey, Jon
Last night we went to see Transformers 2 and my god, there was this Fatalis in the seat behind us. So LOUD, constantly laughing at the stupidest things and yelling out the transformer's names when they came on screen then cheering. Wow it was awful. We really need to kill that guy.

Sup Jon!
The other day I made some applecrisp for the family. I set it out to cool in the back and you wouldn't believe what happened. A damn Fatalis came up and ate half the damn thing! What is with those guys? We really need to do something about them.

So Jon, I was thinking of driving over to your place today but a fatalis broke one of the car windows and stole the thumb dials off the car radio. I couldn't believe it! What does a fatalis need with thumb dials? Probably wouldn't fetch much for them. I say we take this loser OUT.

Wasn't it your birthday yesterday? I wouldn't want to miss that. Always goodtimes! I love that chair. I heard a fatalis broke it or something. Don't you just hate those guys? Why don't you come over, we'll eat and take one out.

Ok enough is enough. I was asked to make tortellini salad for dinner, so I go to pick up the stuff from no frills. What do I see when I get there? Fatalis! Shoppingcart full of meat tortellini! None left in the fridge. What a jerk. It's like he knew I needed it. Fatalis has been everywhere in the past week stirring up trouble. We need to kill this thing before it bothers us anymore. What do you say?

Sadly these letters did not save Jon Suh from the abyss of non-existence.

Argent Tournament

2009-08-11T22:58:00.000-07:00

The Argent Tournament is now in full swing! What an interesting twist on dungeons. Arena style single encounter bosses. The lowest level starts with some jousting. There's me on my horde mount and my jousting helm.

Then you fight the jousters on foot, followed by a Paladin or a Priest boss. Paladin is like some special-ops guy that throws flash bangs, the priest is a summoner and brings in bosses from your past! Like Shadow Onyxia and Hogger The Guild Destroyer!

Then this jerk, the Black Knight, comes in and crashes the party. I killed him last month why is he back as an undead? He sheds parts of his body till he's just a loser ghost then he dies.

Also a penguin.

You will grow 3 sizes larger ... there will be no 4.

So, Alan Rickman is the caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland. How fitting? I don't know.

You're a Dalek, Harry.

2009-08-10T21:58:00.000-07:00

Um ... Harry Potter crossed with a Dalek from Dr.Who, the stars of the show for sure. Ya, it's pretty weird and now I'm thinking I should have made it a Voldemort Dalek, since he is hair and nose-less. He'd also probably be more willing to EXTERMINATE ALL MUGGLES! or something. Next time ...

Here ... eat this.

2009-08-10T00:19:00.000-07:00

Souvlaki for lunch! Went downtown and got exactly this!(did I take the ref picture for this? Who knows) I also learned that trying to paint sliced up pork junk and make it look like sliced up pork junk is harder than it looks. I figured Hey this is a mess of reds, browns and pinks I can just mess around and it'll be perfect. Not so. I do like my golden fries though.

How to prepare and cook Gnome:

2009-08-08T20:20:00.000-07:00

1. Strip off clothing you are not willing to eat.
2. Tie to stick or spear.
3. Add apple, eat and enjoy.

BUR & BEE

2009-08-07T17:14:00.000-07:00

I was challenged! To place a bear in a lewd situation but still make him dopey and innocent. I may have failed critically but I couldn't resist finishing it. Look it him dumping his honey all over that bee. Obviously a bear of conscience as he cares to return the honey he stole from those hard working insects. What a nice guy ... I think I'd do the same!

Sum Burs

A Bear. Oh wait no there's a bunch of bears. And King Cute.
Baby bear, booksmart bear and ...um...Snail bear.
I don't need a flying bear. I would like to wrestle a cub though.

King of Cuteness

2009-08-05T21:29:00.000-07:00

May I present the King of Cuteness, a little raptor hatchling I bought. No he doesn't have a crown and that's not his name but that's what he is to ME. So go frak yourselves!

Oh and there's some Autum in the back since it is her pet. I promised a picture of him horning a blood elf but I'm having second thoughts.

A horse

2009-08-04T22:07:00.000-07:00

That is all. I want a flying one.

Avada Kedavra!

2009-08-03T20:33:00.001-07:00

My favorite part of the Half-Blood Prince. Snape(Alan Rickman) tosses the killing curse at the Near Dead Dumbledore. So many layers in that one moment it sent chills down my spine! I maybe be giving Mr. Rickman too much credit but I think he knew exactly what he was doing when he spoke those words, "Avada kedavra!"
Here's a little tid bit of info from harrypotter.wikia.com :

"Does anyone know where avada kedavra came from? It is an ancient spell in Aramaic, and it is the original of abracadabra, which means 'let the thing be destroyed.' Originally, it was used to cure illness and the 'thing' was the illness, but I decided to make it the 'thing' as in the person standing in front of me. I take a lot of liberties with things like that. I twist them round and make them mine."

Failed P2

2009-08-02T22:27:00.000-07:00

Failed Print 2! Chie from Persona4 ... terribly boring! I had high hopes for this one, especially since one of my friends loves the game(even though I think he said Chie was a bitch! oh my!) I was going to keep the BG white and have her shadow across the ground which would eventually become the shadow of her persona. But I don't know. I got bored with it ...frabricblah blah ...moved on to do the L4D print which was way more fun.
Maybe I'll come back to you someday Chie.

I hope this is what the spitter looks like when they "hwak" at people. Puffing up like a hilarious frog.

Goldenboy

2009-08-01T00:14:00.000-07:00

Er not really. New special infected from L4D2. Look at that face! Awesome!

Autumnly Thinking

2009-07-30T21:19:00.000-07:00

Some Autumn(Autum) work scribbled on a huge doodle page. I might actually make this something if I can fix the wolf and the bow, clean it up a bit....Maybe.

Would be hunter.

2009-07-29T21:38:00.000-07:00

That's how he was going to look before I even started the print, I had high hopes for this guy. But no matter how I drew him those 2 white eyes under the hood always looked goofy....Special Infected Jawa. Plus, I don't think it reads too well, not that the final one does either. No matter how I positioned him, short of leaping crazily, he always looks like a clump. Can't be avoided I guess. Here he reminds me of a cat!

Prints '09

2009-07-28T21:35:00.000-07:00

In the many attempts on prints this summer I managed to finish 3. I had a Persona 4, Valkyria Chronicles, L4D survivors and a few others that just didn't make it.

The L4D one I already addressed issues I had with it. Damn that smoker looking so fine compared to the rest of his crew. What a douche. Originally this was going to have the survivors in the foreground and the SI crew behind them under a single super high contrast light source. That might have been messy!

Last year and this year I asked some shadow of the colossus fans which colossus they'd like to see me do most. Mostly I heard colossus 5 and colossus 13. I went with 5 because...............
I FELT LIKE IT. At the time. I wanted to do an awesome skewed perspective from the tip of the wing, oh my god epic. BUT it didn't really fit with the look of my past SotC prints. So there it is. Originally this had the birdy much deeper in fog so it was almost a silhouette as to suggest...Oh crap Wander! Look out its coming to get you! And he can't see it. But that looked way too boring and simple and the sense of scale just wasn't there.

Naruto! Did this back when the sage mode and 6 tails manga had just been translated. Fresh stuff! Now its so passe with the 8 tails and all. Oh well. I think the 6 tails looks cooler. Wait did they skip 7 tails? I don't remember. I was gonna squeeze Pain in on this but where the hell would he go? I had a lot of fun painting the skull too much maybe because the rest of the painting bored me to tears. Maybe I should paint more skeletons. Actually scratch that...bones...way too many bones. Just skulls.

And it goes on and on my friend ...

2009-07-27T21:11:00.000-07:00

So as I struggle with my new, nit-picky computer(er Vista) I find, once again I have little time for the FF11 commission which as been taking me forever to complete. Poor thing. It wasn't meant to be like this! How unprofessional of me to take so long. STUPID VISTA!

New Computer!

2009-07-26T22:00:00.000-07:00

Uh oh nothing for today. Too busy setting up my new PC.

Chickens aren't just for eating anymore.

2009-07-25T21:29:00.000-07:00

Look at that. Isn't it cute?! No way I'd dish out the cash for one, just testing instead. Its run is hilariously chickeny and makes the cutest clucking noises. Oh ... and think of the omelettes!!

Print Failure 1

2009-07-24T22:26:00.000-07:00

Yuck, failed prints. My attempts to have a Wander only Shadow of the Colossus print done for Otakon '09 left me with this mess. Colorful sunsets don't fit in the Colossus universe, horses messing with my compositions. and over dramatic place-girl-here scenes. I still want to do this one but HOW?

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

2009-07-23T22:16:00.000-07:00

Wasn't really sure what to do with this guy. Call me unimaginative but he is basically a big ball with legs and arm stumps. So instead of standing there I gave him his puking pose. He could have been dancing or of course this ...

Ya maybe a witch or a hunter would be a better choice for lead singer. I just love the sounds the boomer makes way too much to put some screamer up there.

I'm starting a band ...

2009-07-22T22:25:00.000-07:00

I saw number 3 from last post's image and I thought of this and I HAD TO!

Tanks...for everything.

2009-07-21T18:51:00.000-07:00

You know you can buy a WoW t-shirt that says that? ... I think.
Here's the tank from the L4D print. SO BORING AND WEAK! Also I should have made his hands more stained blood and less ... PINK. His rock sure isn't very impressive either. Lets see what I can do about that.

Maybe some of those are better. Probably. They seem to be more interesting. But I don't know, they might hurt the overall composition of the print? I'LL NEVER KNOW.

Smoooookin

2009-07-20T13:38:00.000-07:00

What is this...I don't even...
4chan memes aside, this is my smoker from my Left 4 Dead print. I'd say it was the most successful part of it, definitely the most fun to pain. Sadly I did him after most of the other special infected, so looking back...they look stiff and boring as ass compared to him. Maybe I can do something about that.
