Iron Maiden!

This is my co-worker, Aaron. He is an Iron Maiden fan. He wears an Iron Maiden t-shirt to work. I couldn't fit Iron Maiden on the t-shirt. But I could fit Iron Man. He is now an Iron Man fan.

IRON MAIDEN!!! I mean IRON MAN!!

-TB

PS- Still a WIP. Sorry.

Dark Knight

Heath Ledger was stunning in the Dark Knight. But why not double the trouble? Here's a Joker card.

Want to go see it again...

Dark Knight... brilliant.

Don't have time to animate him, but I can do a shape-tween bat... with a circle moon. Not so brilliant.

For Januel... The HELLBOY you didn't See

A tribute to my buddy that's leaving us to sunnier pastures, an unseen clip from Hellboy II: The Golden Army. I dug the movie, but could have done without the impromptu karaoke/duet by Hellboy & Abe Sapien. Instead, I bring you the conception of Hellboy & Liz's child. I think the movie could have used a sex scene, I'm sure Jan would agree. Good luck little buddy...

Hellboy Movie

This is tribute to the latest movie I saw with Ariel, I'm a big Hellboy comic book fan, so we had to see the movie when it came out. I'm no movie critic, but I was entertained, and I liked the fact that they used the concept artist who did Pan's labyrinth cause his monsters are pretty damn scary. Anyway, go check it out if you like fantasy, monsters, shooting, and more...

Wall-E

Directive...See the movie if you haven't already.

Batman Gotham Knight

A little Batman sketch to match the theme of the DVD I bought for the new 6 episode anime batman feature and it was ok. There were 2 or 3 that I thought were cool but the rest were alright. I don't know if they got the right feel of batman on some of them, but the one where he fight killer croc and scarecrow has a really cool style (almos Mignola-ish). I'd recommend buying it, it's only 12 bucks at Target and it's a good addition to the animation collection!

Independent (amateur) films...

if you haven't seen one recently...go watch some PORN.

Late Entry

Here's just a late entry for the Tree assignment:


*purrrr......* Just enjoying a nap...

Sorry it's late! I'll post a movie review one soon!... I hope..! :D

The Slimy Green Prince

I haven't had a chance to see any movies yet this summer so I decided to post artwork for the one I'm working on. I received a grant to make a short stop-motion animation about a frog prince and this is a poster I just finished for it.  I made 8 puppets from random junk (wires, pleather, clay, tape, etc...) With help from Ma I became pretty decent at sewing these things. I'm hoping to have it complete by the end of August.
This is a page of concept sketches I did before designing the frog puppet. It takes a lot of scribbling for me to come up with characters I like. 

This is the teaser trailer.  A friend pointed out the typo at the end so don't worry, i already know. I tried fixing it but am having too many problems with Quicktime and YouTube so I decided to just leave it.  ...This is actually my first post. I joined a year ago and completely forgot I joined.  I plan on contributing to the page now, but definitely won't be able to until I finish this beast.  Much work ahead!

Trees?

Before & After...

360 degree panarama "Swinging Bridge" Yosemite. About 1/2 through I realized I was going to need to paint in some trees that I neglected to photograph...Opps! Hopefully it looks pretty seamless.

I'll start by kicking things off with the last movie I saw...

SEE IT!

#18: Summer Movie Reviews

SUMMER MOVIE REVIEWS

1)Draw a picture making a reference to a movie you have seen recently and state whether or not we should "SEE IT" or "SKIP IT" This is your chance to let us know what you think about the films you have seen lately.

2)Draw "what would you have done to make the movie better?": This is your chance to add/fix a scene, re-design of clothing/look of a character, new character/set, etc.

The movies don't have to be currently out in theaters, they just have
to be movies you have seen recently (movies that you have seen before but just watched again are also acceptable). Also, this might be a buzzkill, but try your best not to put spoilers from the movies with your artwork, in case any of us haven't seen the movies.

Have fun everyone!

Ends 7/25/08

Thanks to Januel Mercado for coming up with these great topics.

Here are a couple more tree-related items.

To anyone out there who is part of this blog, please post! Even if it's just a little doodle, it's great to have a vibrant collection of contributions and see what everyone is up to. It seems there are only a few of us left, and it is a real shame since I know a lot more of you than just the regular contributers have cool ideas to add to the mix.

CE # 16: Fairy Tales Re-Imagined (to 05/16)

Take it & re-imagine a fairy tale character, story, location, etc. any way you want. Could be totally gnarly & graphic, story re-envisioned, in the style of another artist, or maybe a fairy tale from another country/culture. We'll switch it up on... 05/16.

Very cool Atlantis stuff btw.

Atlantis

Hey Guys, sorry this one is late but hey, we're not in in school anymore whoo!. But man o man, this took me back to tidepool with this topic. Can U guys tell I used a unifying purple glaze? haha. I'll eventually finish it, maybe even add a submarine or something to put a story into this piece but right now this is what I envisioned Atlantis to look like.

Late from Atlantis

Catching a wave in from Bimini Road to defend Atlantis. This novice archer maintains total concentration in a battle. She hopes to someday bedazzle her war glove in the spirit of her more experienced counterparts. Sorry its late, I guess some things never change

#15: The Lost City of Atlantis

Design what you imagine The Lost City of Atlantis would have looked like either in its prime or currently discovered. What kind of people lived in Atlantis and what animals may have lived among them. What weapons did they have? What vehicles did they have, etc?

Design anything within Atlantis , environment, characters, animals, vehicles, weapons, etc.

Have fun :)

I've been reading a lot of manga and comics lately, so sorry if this drawing seems cheeeezay. She's my Warrior Princess ASSASSIN, her kingdom was overtaken, father and mother were brutally murdered, so now she fights as an assassin...she never sleeps and never feels peace.

Keep Them Coming -I>>>>

New Topic This Friday 03/28. I'm sure there are a few killers lurking out there still. Topic change next Friday...

HAHAHAHA!

Man it's been awhile. But here's a quickie done in my sketchbook. A serial killer topic is not complete without the greatest dasterdly mofo of them all. Can't wait for dark knight btw heeeeheeeeheeeheeehahahahaHaHaHaHaHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!

Assassin bot...Reload

the deadly assassin bot, he stands out in his red paint job.

lady killer

Spooky

So I had this dream a week ago about a serial killer who liked to bathe his victims in feces before having his way with them.. He drapes a green clothe over his face to i guess, hide his identity, but it also made him look sorta beautiful/mysterious. He lives in SF.

Airgun Assassin

Here is a quick little ditty on the assassin angle. This guy uses a high-power air gun to shoot poison darts at his targets.

The Silent Assassins

Code Name: Snake Eyes

Proficient in 12 different unarmed fighting systems (Karate, Kung-Fu, Jujitsu, etc.) and is highly skilled in the use of edged weapons. Has received extensive training in mountaineering, underwater demolitions, jungle, desert and arctic survival, and some form of holistic medicine. Qualified expert: All NATO and Warsaw Pact small arms.





Code Name: Storm Shadow

Served with Snake Eyes in Southeast Asia and both of them later studied the secret art of Ninjitsu with the family of Storm Shadow, a ninja clan that could trace its history back through thirty generations of ninjas. Unhinged by the murder of his uncle and mentor, he infiltrated Cobra seeking revenge, but found vengeance to be a poor substitute for life. Now, in semi-retirement at a remote mountain hideaway, he occasionally takes on a special mission or two - if Snake Eyes asks him nicely.

Troy Bloomtree

This is the last known image of Troy Bloomtree. He is believed to be at large. He is wanted for the death and mutilation of nearly a dozen victims. Bodies are often found dressed up in costumes and posed. Tripods and cameras are often nearby. Bloomtree is obsessed with celebrity and fame, and is thought to kill his victims in hopes of using them as castmembers for his "masterpiece".

*if you resemble Troy Bloomtree (in appearance), I promise, it is an accident. If you resemble Bloomtree in any other way, I hope I never meet you!

ASSassins

Phuck Mi, vietnamese femme fatale, she kill you long time...

1. Serial Killer/Assassin

And the Winner Is...

Congratulations, Jehan. You are the man. For real...
