Shenanigans & Tomfoolery

Without getting too much into it, I think that the Starfire controversy last year was partly due to a failure in the writer and artist to properly convey the nature of the character and not so much in the skimpiness of it all. Koriand’r shouldn’t be covered up like a nun, she’s an alien princess [...]

Having Tetris blocks about to crush Mario was the obvious thing to do here because, well, what else would they do? A little more difficult was coming up with a way to make them threatening so I crushed Mario’s hand to make the stakes a little more clearer. Also, after my previous Mario fights, it [...]

My first piece of the year. Apologies for the lack of updates but the Holiday season was a busy time for me. I’m starting to get back into my routine and catching up with some of my commissions so, hopefully, the updates will be a little more frequent from now on. This particular piece started [...]

I thought the Hadouken effect was gonna give me trouble but it turns out it was everything else that did. This isn’t my favorite but I really sank some time on it and I refused to put it down until I was satisfied with what I had, so much so that I added the hobo [...]

I’ve started at least 4 different pieces over the past week and every single one of them I’ve deleted due to “going nowhere” syndrome. I decided to look through my sketchbook and pick out something that I liked and use that as my starting point (which would be the blonde on the right) and everything [...]

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 was a little lost as to how to handle this at first but it’s quickly becoming one of my favorites now. Two things I like about this one: 1) It’s actually the first one where part of the figure is cropped which is a result of me thinking a little more about composition from [...]

Just playing around in the morning. I saw this tutorial and I wanted to try out the technique shown at the very bottom of it. That guy is really good and he has a bunch of other tutorials which should be quite helpful in future pieces. I like how this turned out all things considered [...]

Much to say about this one. First of all, if you haven’t heard of The Binding of Isaac, go on Steam and download it for the “we’re giving it away for free” price of 5 bucks (less if you get it during a Steam sale). You’ll get countless hours of fun from the randomly generated [...]

Just a quick 2-3 hour exercise using reference. I tried to keep it as loose as possible and I’m actually quite happy with the results. And look! There’s a semblance of a background in there! NSFW reference pic (courtesy of Jimmy Palmiotti‘s Sexy Mondays) below.
