Gundam Cyclops

This was done for the newly started Drink and Draw NYC weekly challenges. It’s amusing to me that I’m doing these from Barcelona but I loved going to the Drink and Draw gatherings back in the lovely city of New York so these online challenges are a great way to keep in touch with that [...]

A “Green Lantern: The Animated Series” review.

A

I was looking forward to this series ever since it was announced in what seems like ages ago and the disappointment that was the feature film only served to fan those flames of excitement. I really wanted the Green Lantern franchise to redeem itself in the eyes of the general public because it’s a great [...]

Tetsuo Shima

It’s still surprising to me just how much of an inspiration Akira was to me. Sometimes I kinda forget but I’m quickly reminded whenever I pop the movie in. I really want to re-read the manga now too. Done in Photoshop mostly with a square chalk brush because I wanted to give it some texture. [...]

John Kricfalusi does “The Simpsons” couch gag

I’m speechless. This is so absolutely a John K. product, even down to the music, yet it’s so unlike anything he’s ever done before. It begs to be seen in slow motion. Can you please let this become a regular thing, Fox? You already got Banksy and I’d love to see a Plympton one. A ton [...]

Molotov and Dr. Girlfriend

I’m so done with this one. I spent the better part of two hours trying to do something interesting with the background. At one point I had Brock and The Monarch peeking through a window but it didn’t fit well with the rest of the picture. I ultimately used some brush I downloaded and called [...]

TMNT

Giving the Turtles my own spin. I made them super huge (because turtles shouldn’t be lean) and tried to individualize them with more than just their colors and weapons. Of course, because I had no idea what to do with the background, I took a page from the Turtles in Time character select screen and [...]

Meet the Medic (FINALLY!!!)

There was a ton of cool stuff in today’s Über Update, Valve’s “biggest, most ambitious update in the history of Team Fortress 2.” We got new weapons and items for all but one of the classes (why no Engie love, Valve?), a new map and, perhaps most importantly, the announcement that Team Fortress 2 would henceforth [...]

Thundercats re-imagining looking solid.

Thundercats re-imagining looking solid.

I’ll be the first to admit that the Thundercats doesn’t hold a lot of nostalgic value for me. I remember watching it religiously not out of pure love for the series but mostly because watching cartoons all day is just what you do when you’re a kid. There were memorable things about it (Lion-O’s trials [...]
