So after a long year hiatus, I’m posting again. Lots of things have happened over the past year (moved in with my girl, grandmother having a stroke, etc.. ) but I think I’m getting back into a routine where I’m finding my marks. So I’ll try to keep the art and post count going. (more…)

For posterity’s sake, I’m compiling the different sketches for a project that MarkMI6 from the EirtaKon community is finalizing. (more…)

Following up on this entry, I’m adding a proper walk-through on the different stages of the making of this year’s Lori. This year, the only guideline I received was: “We discussed it at a meeting at the start of the year, the idea of her in a shonen pose, looking pretty menacing and angry. But it’s always really up to you“. So after trying out a few design sketches, this is what I thought had the best mix of...

Some early Lori 2010 rough sketches. After touching base with the EirtaKon folks and exchanging a few comments back and forth, I was told she was supposed to have a more action orientated pose. I’m more than happy to oblige So I thought that a “Sword Master” knight in a attacking pose would suit. (more…)

More sketches from diverse work activities. I really hope my manager understands sketching during meetings helps me focus on what’s being talked about, rather than having my eyes wander about.. I also wonder why I always make my short haired girls so serious. What’s up with that? ...

So after this nonsensical cute-anime-Akuma fun and more other more serious Akuma sketches, time to retreat to something nicer on the eye. Just some pure ol’ random female sketches. (more…)

More Akuma sketches. I just must draw more of him until I can get him just right. It’s not that easy to get the perfect “mean-furious-stoic-constipated” look. Years spent in a dojo just doesn’t prepare you for this type of facial training! (more…)

Very interesting question, I’m glad you asked. Well, I think it wouldn’t be that pretty. I mean, the character doesn’t lend itself well to this concept. See for yourself. (more…)

Random sketches of my favourite Street Fighter character, Akuma/Gouki. I’m still trying to get the “feel” right on his facial stoicism. That bugger is no laughing clown :/ (more…)

I have this property that, when I’m a little down or depressed, I draw breasts. It soothes me. Call it some kind of Freudian related issue where breasts = motherhood = childhood happiness and I would certainly agree with you. So here I am, feeling a little lifeless after a long day of work and lo and behold, I’m doodling breasts again. ...
