I have been thinking for a while now ‘Why haven’t I created any Metal Gear Solid art?’ That’s my favorite video game franchise next to the Resident Evil and Final Fantasy series. I’m going to do the entire series, of course starting with 3 (for those who play the game… you’ll know that 3 is the VERY beginning). My next poster will be of Metal Gear Solid 1, then 2, finally 4. My original Idea was to do them to where you can connect each poster and it’ll make one grand poster with the entire series but I really didn’t come up with a cool layout for that.

Creating a poster wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be. I basically drew the main characters and started adding lesser supporting characters around them. Not too shabby I would say

These will hopefully be on sale at Game Over Video Games Austin.

Here are the pencils to the poster. These aren’t the complete pencils but basically it has everything in it. I had Sokolov in there and was going to add other characters but I felt everything would have been too bunched together. I was a little upset that I wasn’t able to do a full character cast in this poster but whatever.

And yes, I took the time out to shade in my pencils even though I knew I was going to ink and color this piece. I just like having complete pencils. Something cool to have as the ORIGINAL. And who knows, maybe it’ll be worth something one day.

If you’re like me, then you head out to the gamestore about once a week just to see what specials/deals they have going on at your local Game Stop (or Amazon ). I knew they were having buy 2 get one free this weekend so I dashed out to the store before people started picking off all of the great titles. I ended up getting Bayonetta, Darkisiders and Assassin’s Creed 2.

I haven’t played anything yet except for Bayonetta but I’m hoping that the others are just as good. I must say that Bayonetta is excellent game so far with very fun battle mechanics.

The Come Wit It Artist tournament 5 is over (the Winner is Howard Russell). I felt it was a good idea for me to sketch up something based on the theme for the last HURAH! for it. The theme was ‘Pixar’ and  I chose the movie ‘Up.’ I still have yet to see this movie but I’ve heard nothing but great things about it. So I’ll be checking it out this weekend all snuggled up with my fiancée Sandy

Even though I did the most basic concept that the movie posters use all the time for this film, Idecided to take it in a different approach as far as camera angle is concerned. It was a challenge (not the drawing it self) but fitting all of this onto a normal sheet of 8.5×11 computer paper. It’s time that I really start working on 11×17. Good thing is that I ordered a whole batch of it a couple days ago. It should be at my doorstep any day now.

Also, my son has been sick with an ear infection all this week so getting any drawing done was basically an impossibility. I had to stay up all night just to get any drawing done. Ah well, that’s what we artists have to do.

Sugar Rush is a new Iphone/Pad/etc game that has recently come out and the guys at Agimat comics were asking for fan art on their facebook page. I decided to draw something up for them to show support. The winner gets a free download voucher for the game. I don’t have an Iphone/Pad so already I know that if I won it, it kinda wouldn’t matter too much. I did wanted to show them that they do have supporters.

Why didn’t I color this illustration you asked? Well, if you haven’t noticed lately, I’ve been trying to work on my penciling techniques and get them to a point where I’m satisfied. I would also like to eventually make a book in only pencil to make the creation process faster.

Anyways, go check out the official facebook page for the game at http://www.Facebook.com/agimat

Here’s something interesting that I’ve drawn up yesterday. I was playing around with an artist buddy’s character, The Legendary Sketchman, and decided that I would draw myself as well as a character. I ended up really liking the concept as myself as like this assassin ninja. I know, I know… it’s not really original at all but I still think it would be cool to touch upon. So basically, I’m going to be teaming up with Brandon Murphy to create an 8 page comic (or so) just toying with the idea of us as animated ninjas. I’ve been wanting a tribal tattoo for some time now so ofcourse I had to include it in the concept as well.

More news on this soon…

The movie that we’ve all been waiting for; children and adults… Toy Story 3! I had to do this pic to show my love for one of my best childhood movies ever.

Here’s a present for a guy who bought my art from a video game store a little while back. I was meaning to do a drawing for him for a while now and I was up a little late last night and decided to crank this out for him. Thanks for all of the support bro.

This is my second round piece for Notion’s Come Wit It Artist Tournament. The theme is ‘Man vs Machine.’ It took me a while to finish this just because I had to keep a watch on my son throughout the week while I was watching him. So constant getting up and sitting down to monitor him while he sleeps, crawl, play, etc made this piece seem like forever to complete.

But who’s Domo you ask? This character…

Isn’t he cuuutee!? lol

This illustration is based off of one of my all time favorite games, ‘The Heart of Darkness.’ I have no idea why it isn’t brought up as much as it should but whatever. I still remember playing this as a kid non stop. Had to pay tribute, also this pic is my first round piece for the Notion Comics’ Come Wit’ It Artist Tournament.

Just finished up the illustration for the Irate Gamer, a popular youtube video game review show (over 120,000 subscribers). This episode is based off of the Garbage pail kids (if I’m not mistaken). Episode should be uploaded within a week or so. Check out http://www.Youtube.com/IrateGamer
