Its been a while since I last posted...A lot of things have been happen as of this moment and hope that momentum can be carried through this year and beyond! I'll be posting up some new stuff soon...hopefully to not delay it too long...but I've done some work at the Animation Academy so I'll be posting those soon.

Tribute to GoW

2008-10-22T22:54:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since I last posted. So many things has happened since then. Well, I had some free time a couple of days ago and wanted to put this up. So I decided to sketch out one of the characters from my favorite game, GoW (Gears of War). I made other sketches from the game and this was the only one I didn't do yet. Out of the ones I did, this was a bit more complete. Although not stylistically accurate I wanted to put a little style of my own. His pose was just random. I just wanted him to look like he was ready to take on the Locust hoard.

Look out for GoW2 hitting stores Nov 7th...of all days to be released, it will be on a Friday! Hope to see ya guys online that day!

Creature Sketch

2008-01-23T17:13:00.001-08:00

Been thinking of doing an illustration of a creature that just escaped from some sort of prison.

Why? Well, just happen to read some of my comics lately and well, just got inspired to sketch something out.

Anyways, this is just a rough sketch. Hope to do a more finished illustration later on.

Another Batman...

2008-01-15T00:16:00.000-08:00

Well, here's an actual finished illustration! ( Ya, I know! )

I wanted to put a simple step by step process on how I actually got this done.

What started out as a simple rough sketch of Batman turned out to be something a bit more.

All this process was done without lifting a pencil. I actually started off just playing around with Corel Painter X. First, I just doodled around with different brush strokes and then decided to just sketch up something. Next thing you know, I was sketching up Batman. Why? Just thought that Batman would be cool to draw.

Step 1: I was just making a super rough sketch, then I decided to just take it a bit further.
Step 2: After a little tweeking here and there with how Batman was going to pose I decided to go even further and did the rest of the work in Photoshop CS3.
Step 3: Did more revisions on how Batman was going to look and started to add more details around his cape and tweeked him a bit.
Step 4 (FINAL): After several hours of putting and taking out things, this was the end result. Final pose and look was done in Painter and the rest was done in Photoshop.

After this, I'm going to see if I can post more finished work.

This year I really wanted to put more illustration work out, and this is just the beginning.

Enjoy!

Happy New Year !!! 2008

2008-01-09T03:11:00.000-08:00

Hello to all!

Well, has been an exciting yet suprising 2k7.
I know that 2k8 will only bring new paths ahead.
I've been really caught off guard this past holiday season but that won't let me down.

It's an exciting new year and hope to put new material up soon.

Been busy...

Been really busy. Will post more stuff soon...

Titans

2007-10-17T13:45:00.001-07:00

I sketched this out a while back...
I was watching Clash of the Titans when I decided to draw this.
That move was da'bomb when I first watched it as a kid, and still enjoy today!
Although the mythology and story of that movie was a bit screwy, it was great due to its characters...
So, this sketch was pretty much influenced by that. I decided to create a character that was pretty massive in weight and size. Hopefully, I'll get to refine it more when I get the chance.

Some JLA members

2007-10-11T15:53:00.000-07:00

Here's a couple of sketches I did of Superman and Batman.
The Superman sketch is a bit older but the Batman piece was sketched this week.

That Batman sketch is still a work in progress but just wanted to throw that up.
I was influenced by the Batman Begins movie so I wanted to create something close to that.
When I get the chance, I want to finish that piece by digitally inking it. Most likely finish it up in Illustrator.
Hopefully, I'll get that done soon...!

Finally, some sketches...!

2007-10-10T17:25:00.001-07:00

I've been wanting to get some of my sketches up.
Here are just a few old ones I did.
I'll try to post up more when I get the chance.

**Ok, Dave, they're up !! **

Pinas Trip June 2007

2007-10-10T17:15:00.000-07:00

Just wanted to post these up.
My family took a trip to the Philippines back in June.
They were taken with my Canon 30D with a 28-135mm lens.

Wanted to stretch my new DSLR so I wanted to experiment with some shots.
So, I decided to take a stab at something new, panoramic shots.
Had to shot multiple times to get this long panning effect.

They were both taken in Bohol.
The top image was taken near the beach resort we stayed in and below was in Chocolate Hills.

Enjoy !
