Rapid Art: Batty

20 min rapid painting/drawing. Oh yeah.
This week: Batman.

Achete

An idea for a warrior-type female. She has a custom, dual slot scabbard that holds two short-height Japanese wakazashi swords, able to be drawn from either side. Her harness, centralized along the waist, has multiple compartments to support long distance travel. Soft metal greaves protect the legs from the elements and traps.

The Ipad as an artist’s tool- the possibilities

Think poor man’s Cintiq.
I was debating with my brother- who is an architect- the possibility of the Ipad eventually having a breakthrough drawing app in (hopefully) the near future. Think about it- it just makes sense. An Ipad version of Painter, or Art Rage could do very, very well, and be an inexpensive creative tool [...]

Ogre’s Break

Mr. Nuttin Nice

Meet Mr. Nuttin Nice.
As you can tell by the name, this guy isn’t one of the Starbucks sipping, art magazine reading, good Samaritan old lady saving, apprehend a criminal types. Not even close. He would probably cut you open if he had he chance. His various body paint should be reason enough to keep it [...]

Adobes Ipad “No Flash” rant spectacularly fails on thier own blog

The Ipad: Were You Looking The Wrong Way?

Ah, the new Ipad.

Apple has proved once again they can introduce a product that catches everyone looking the wrong way. While most of the tech world was foaming at the mouth wondering what new, highly inventive, competition-destroying device they could come up with, Apple was thinking:
“Ok, so people love their Iphones. Wouldn’t the same audience [...]

Zoe and Checke Checke

It was about time that I used a little cultural pride in my work- so meet Zoe Najhe and “Bad Mon” Cheke Checke (that little thing on her shoulder). While Zoe is a sweet, cute, Jamaican princess representing Kingston (big up!), she is flanked by her little friend Cheke (x2), who is notorious for having [...]

Observation Art- Train

Yet another set of images of random people with interesting looks on the train. It’s always interesting when they notice you…they tend to come out of pose, then I try to blend in the areas that may be missing from memory..or just leave it out.

Godmother (Shiiva)-LSL

I’ve been working on a character based on the many interpretations ive seen over the years with the name Shiva, which stuck with me when I first heard it. Originally confused with the character known as Spiral from the Marvel universe, I became enthused to develop my own vision on the six-armed murderer.
So in my [...]
