Tortoise and the Hare Update

I figured I'd post these up here since I've had them up on my deviantart account for a while now. Here is the first 3 colored pages from the Tortoise and the Hare story I'm working on with writer David Tanh for the Future Fairy Tales project that was started on Digital Webbing.

The Tortoise and the Hare

Here's some designs from an anthology project I'm a part of. Chris Stevens got a bunch of the talent from the Digital Webbing website together to put together a themed anthology book with a futuristic take on classic fairy tales, and I was lucky enough to be a part of it and work with writer David Tanh. Anyway, the story I'm doing artwork for is the Tortoise and the Hare and it has a kind of Mario Kart/Speed Racer feel to it.

Happy Holidays...

...well, better late than never I guess, heh. I was, and still, extremely busy over the holidays so I didn't get a chance to post this up. I've been doing some artwork for a local Thai Cuisine restaurant called the Happy Elephant since this past summer, and for the holidays this year they had me make up some logos and flyer designs. So here they are, a little late but better than never I guess. You can also check out the Happy Elephant website at http://www.happyelephant.net/

Hamster Animation

Several months ago I applied for a job at a local mobile phone game company. Unfortunately the wanted ad on their website was outdated and the position had already been filled some time ago (update your websites people!) So anyway, here's part of the test artwork I wasted my time on...well at least I can throw it in an artbook some day. The artwork is for some key frames of animation that I made that I then converted to pixel art while using a character I had to come up with based off of guidelines given to me from their website. Yeah, I know that was a bit of a run on sentence, I'm bad with those.

Working Class Zombie

Being the shut in, lonely, nerd that I am, I spent New Year's Eve at my computer coloring stuff. On the plus side, not having a life means I get more artwork done like this piece. Enjoy my misfortune! heh.

Abraham Lincoln: Space Commando

In honor of the upcoming presidential elections (or rather, in honor that they're finally going to be over with I should say,) I figured I'd post up my take on one of our country's greatest presidents. So here he is, Abraham Lincoln: Space Commando! Hopefully I'll get the chance to do a comic of this some day (or a cartoon would be even better.) I'll be posting more colored art on here more regularly now that I have a new (well, somewhat used) computer in my little work station and have been practicing coloring more.

Anyway, I also went back and edited the "Granny" post from a while back with the colored version my brother did before the summer.

Battle On!

I like to do warm up sketches to loosen things up a bit and take off any pressure of working on a page. So, since I was sick of doing the same old superhero stuff, I decided I should sketch something of the non-cape variety from comics.

Back in high school I was a big fan of Joe Madureira's Battle Chasers comic, and since, to my surprise, I never even once attempted to draw a character from that comic I figured I'd take a stab at it. I figured the sketch turned out alright so I'd do a clean copy of it and color it (because I needed the practice.)

Looking back at those comics for character reference for this image, I was surprised by how well those comics hold up even today (especially those last 2 issues which look pretty great.) They were pretty fun reads too, it's just too bad there's not really anything coming out in the fantasy genre nowadays.
