Challenge4

I'm kind of cheating this one, since it's being used for a larger, finished piece, but times are tight.

Instruments

So, Thursday evening, I come home and my little brother, Jonar tells me he has a project for his music class. It was something involving percussion instruments and a posterboard. I suggested, or I accepted the challenge of, drawing TWENTY percussion instruments. It was probably my own fault for trying to do something so out of the way, especially since I have so much homework and projects to finish up. I had fun, though, and I'm pretty happy with how a lot of the instruments came out.

Yes, I etched "MORE" on that cowbell.

Done on a white board at work.

Challenge2

Did I mention that this is a daily challenge?

Challenge1

Elias Jimenez recently issued a challenge to me to draw a character I've been developing. He would do the same with a character he created. It can be a sketch or a full-fledged painting. The art just has to center around that one character. Here's a start of many false starts.

What to do. What to do.

So, Afua Richardson, Marc Bernadin and Adam Freeman created, "Genius," a comic that was featured in Top Cow's 2008 Pilot Season (the name implies what it means).

Today, Newsarama had a spotlight on "Genius" and the image to the left just drew me in immediately.

(Post wrap-up: The image on the right is a pin-up I finished in mid-July 2010. I'm not really cheesed about it. The composition is different, and the comic series itself doesn't touch on any of the concepts that I want to explore through my narrative. I will say though, that Richardson has improved a lot since "Genius" first appearance in 2008. Obviously, I still have a lot of work to do (everyone does, really).)

That's that. Good thing I took a whole day to write this post.

Scanned it wrong, and it's ugly.

Winter Scene

I won't have access to a scanner in the next two days, but I'll try to upload something I did not too long ago. In fact, it was a week ago. Two weeks ago.

I was selected to develop a painting for the Vice President of NJCU. Well, me and Stephanie Herrera. The VP had an art auction going on, and wanted some student artwork in it, too.

To cut some corners, I made this illustration into a letter for a greeting card I was also a part of developing. Obviously, I had the letter 'E' to illustrate, but I wanted to to a nighttime scene, as opposed to the obvious snow man for the winter greeting card.

See you here in two days.

Granted, I'm not very good at any of the Call of Duty or Modern Warfare games. I don't play enough to be very good at any game. I love fighting games, shooters, platformers, action/adventure. I know I don't have any time for RPGs, but I do give some a try.

(Mass Effect 2, you'll be done soon enough!)
