Spider-Man Webhead 2.0 concept 3

Something that may incur the wrath of Spidey fans
 My third design for Webhead 2.0. Trying a more drastic redesign to see what I can end up with. The mask under the hood is a bit much, but I'll probably explore some more elements in this design in the future.

Spider-Man Webhead 2.0 concept 2

Base 
 My second designs for Webhead 2.0. I hope to do more since my Devil May Cry piece is done.
Something Iron-Spidery

I liked the idea of a predominantly white color palette.

I like the blacked-out eyes look

I may play with the chromy ballistics glasses eyes too

Red Monika Sketch

A sketch to loosen up for the day of Red Monika from the comic book "Battle Chasers". I'm a huge fan of the comic especially back in high school.

Devil May Cry Roughs 2

Yes, rough layouts are done. Time to ink this sucker up!

Devil May Cry Roughs

I'm working on a huge poster for the Devil May Cry anniversary. Not even half-way done with the roughs, more characters are to be added as well as the enemies section below Nero down south. It's due on the 29th, I can't wait to finish it but I know I should take my time and pay attention to details.

Spider-Man Webhead 2.0 mask concepts 1

Just throwing some quick mask designs for Spider-Man.
The first one on the left was inspired by a spider's maw/ fangs. The middle one incorporates the spider's head and front two legs. The third one just has a goddamn spider plastered onto his face, and the red chromey area is where he can see...somehow.

Blockage!

 I was working on this today for a while, then out of the blue I realized it's not something I would want really finish. So I stopped mid way, and decided to work on other original characters of mine, but nothing was coming out. It was pretty frustrating, then I went to the gym, came home and showered. Nice and fresh, I decided to take another stab at whipping something out for my original characters but I got nothing but a massive brain fart. I was going to go play some games to cool off, but I remembered that Project Rooftop was hosting a Spider-Man redesign contest. I worked on some concept sketches for Spider-Man instead and now I feel a lot better.

Spider-Man Webhead 2.0 concept 1

Base Design
 I was having a creative block today concerning my original characters. Therefore to claw (swing?) my way out of my slump, I decided to get started on my entry for the Project Rooftop Webhead 2.0 art contest. These are the results of my first pass at the character. I will explore other base designs throughout the coming weeks as well.
Inspired by rock climbers and bikers

I just wanted to see him with red as a primary color

A color scheme a little closer to the iconic costume

Kabu Layout Work In Progress

Just a work in progress for now. There are two other drawings I wanna work on, what to do....

Kabu Rough

derp?
A rough of my cat, Kabu, as a Kikai Omelet character. He's got a Darth Vader helmet thing going on. Can't wait to finish my other stuff so I can start working on this one, I'm going to attempt painting fur.

Jennie 2.0 Work In Progress


I've been incorporating some 3d in my recent pieces lately, it's helping out a lot especially for plotting out backgrounds. Yes, I'm very pleased indeed.

Mineiva concept roughs 2

Some sketches featuring a redesign of  my character Mineiva.

Speed Paint 4

47 minutes
For my daily practice. I missed yesterday's because my hands were a little sore from removing Jennie's flat tire, those wheel nuts are tight (for the better I guess).

Mineiva Beauty Shot WIP

 I just got back from helping Jennie fix her flat tire cliche (aka running over some nails). Here's a work in progress of my character, Mineiva. I modeled her sword and background buildings using Sketch Up.

Environment Speed Paint 1

35 minutes
Here's my first serious attempt at speed painting. I've never been really comfortable with my painting skills so I thought it would be a great exercise if I popped out a 30-40 minute speed paint everyday. My goal is to be more comfortable with the process which will hopefully lead to some more interesting pieces in the future.
