Dinosaurs in NY

This assignment was a double spread for narrative art II, where we had to chose between either dinosaurs and aliens. I obviously picked up the dinosaurs in N.Y. because I have never draw them before. I also thought it was a good opportunity to throw in a shout out for some of my friends books back in Monterrey. (which if you don't know, is my hometown, and a very awesome kick ass city).

This is the process.

Blacksad

This was a project for Basic Drawing II. The goal of the assignment was to draw a scene with 1 or 2 point perspective background and at least 3 characters, showing foreground, middle ground and background.

I Chose Blacksad because it is a killer book and I have never drawing anthropomorphic characters in a while.

Back to school: Babydoll

Back to school

Been a while since I posted anything here. As Ferris Bueller once said, "life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while you might missed it".

This time I'm not gonna say it, I'm doing it (although I know that by saying that I'm saying what I'm gonna do, defeating the purpose but anyway...) one post a day, that is my goal. Art does not get a rest, and we all need inspiration. If you like what you see here leave a comment, we all benefit from each other's vibes and thoughts.

Here is a project.  Babydoll from Suckerpunch.

Done with pastels on toned paper.

Cereal Box

For advertising illustration class, we had to come up with a fun concept for a cereal box design. I chose the movie 300 as the subject matter of my design and created the "Hooa!" cereal. Here is the process

Silhouette designs for Production II homework assignment. Design 20 characters and 20 vehicles.

There are some interesting things out of this exercise. I might pursue one or two of this designs.

Hope you dig!

Luther Strode Fanart

Luther Strode fan art.

It started over the summer as an art trade off with a friend, but it never got done. So it stood there in my hard drive for a while. Then, I had to turn in a cover for one of my classes and it seem like the perfect oportunity to resurrect him from the digital limbo.

To make the thing even more awesome, that week was ComiCon week, and I got to meet Trad Moore, the artist of the Luther Strode book. I showed him the piece and he liked it! He is a really cool dude and that just made my day.

So here it is!

New Id

Hello my friends! Long time no see. I know that I have been away for a long time, but I really try to give it my very best at school, and that takes up time and dedication. Fortunately I can still update this from time to time, just like Red from Shawshank redemption.

This one was done for an assignment at school, but I liked it so much that I made it my new avatar for almost everything. I'm also using it on my business cards.
