Calavera Disney Logo

So I met this person who works at a disney store at geeky mammas the other day & they were interested in my art, which is why my recent disney stuff. So I decided to do a day of the dead/sugar skull inspired mickey logo. I did a few versions, one with webs, one without webs, color, black & white....so I submitted my favorite one.

Mickey WIP

Here's a work in progress piece of mickey mouse, just a bit meaner looking. I kind of rushed it & I might start over, but it does need a bit of work either way. I'll post an update later on.

The Butcher

Here's a weird dude I sketched with ink pens & a little marker. Happy Friday!

Yet Another Batman

Can you tell, I dig batman. Marker sketch, done with copic markers.

Barabus

Another Demon sketch, used copic markers & some ink pens on the usual 50.lb sketch paper.

Baby Goat

Totally freakin weird, I know. Don't really know what I was inspired by when I did this, but hey, bein weird is cool! Done with copic markers on 80.lb sketch paper.

Cap

A cute captain america for the 4th. Done with copic & prismacolors, on 9x12 50lb paper. Used all greys for this one, to give it that vintage look instead of the saturated colors. Cool greys, warm greys, & neutral greys only.

Elenoque'she - The Demon Of Babylon

Otherwise known to his followers as the Chattering Lord. Worshipped by ancient sumerian tribes, This demon was a master manipulator. Coming to you in your dreams & showing you all of the wonderful things you could ever want in life. Those visited by him would note his presence by a strange hypnotic clicking sound in the background of your nocturnal splendor, and this sound was determined by his followers to be his rows of teeth chattering as he whispered in your ears.

These Heavenly dreams would enthrall his victims so much so that they only wished to sleep, slowly neglecting their health, appearance & earthly life. The end Result of these dreams would be the untimely demise of each and everyone of these poor souls, shortly after they had gone completely mad. These gaunt & zombielike victims would engage in unconscious acts of savagery & cannibalism before being restrained & sedated, at which point they're deteriorating health would claim their lives. The only glimpses into their strange mental dilapidation would be gathered through various mumbles & chattering from the afflicted, " IT'S EATING ME!!!", "Get away", & " NO!" were commonly heard amongst the screams of terror.

It is hypothesized that these lucid & wonderful dreams would slowly transform themselves into terror filled escapades of which there was no escape. Eventually the affect on ones subconscious would be too much to bear.

Demon Priestess

Done on 8.5x11 cardstock with markers.

Yoda

What Can I say, i just like drawing yoda.....Done with copics, on 9x12 50lb paper. Still needs a background.

Some More Pigs!!!

A couple more pig sketches, done in adobe photoshop 7, Just for fun! This time I used a more traditional looking pig rather than a bore, I have to admit that the boars look tougher.

Couple more pig sketches

Here's a couple more pig sketches that go along with yesterdays post, one is a concept of a pig warrior & the other is just a study f a boar. Both were done digitally in photoshop 7.

PIGS!!!!!

I had done a series of pig studies & concept drawings one day, so I think I will post them this week...I don't know why but I think pigs are just cool looking, so much character in their faces, & diverse textures in their skin. The flesh of a pig is the closest to the flesh of a man & they're as smart as canines, but less sanitary. Just a cool animal that doesn't get enough love! This picture is actually a portrait of a boar-like/humanoid creature & was done from the imagination without references. Adobe photoshop 7.

Sketch for my buddy dave

My buddy dave asked me to sketch something for his facebook profile pic, copic marker sketch on 9x12 50lb paper.

Little Mo

A little monster for you. Did this guy on 8.5x11 gray card stock. Used pencil ( 4h, hb, f, 2b, 6b) white & pink prismacolor pencil & gel pen. I like him because he's cute & fat, but his face is still creepy.

Just Some Marker Practice Sketches

Not much to say here, just sketchin to try & draw different stylistically. A bunch of faces done with copic markers, I'm prety sure I used only warm grays for these & yellow green for the background. I think this was one of my warm-up sheets. Have a Good Day!

Weird Rabbit

Here's a weird lookin rabbit I did with copic markers & a white prisma pencil for highlights. Done on 9x12 50lb paper. Was going to make him a cave-rabbit & have him dragging a female rabbit who's been knocked out, but I new that I wasn't going to have the room on the page.

Cyborg Sketch

Here's a weird cyborg sketch, done with copic markers on 9x12 50lb paper. sorry I havent posted in a while, I was a little under the weather. but I'm back...so here you go.

Grave Digger

Another warm up sketch created in copic markers, I actually just did this to try out copics abs system....if you don't know, its an attachment, that connects to a compressor, & you can plug in different copic markers & it acts as a (although limited) makeshift airbrush. It works ok for making soft background stuff, but thats about it. Anyway, I don't really admire this piece much...only like the pants...Happy Friday!!!

Monster Warm Up Sketch

Not much to say about this one.....a warm up sketch that turned out to be a monster....just shaded the background with pencil as not to waste too much marker ink. Done with copic markers on 9x12 50lb paper.

Invasion Of Hoth color study

I'm pretty sure I've never posted this before... Just found it & thought I would mix it up with some digital. This is a speed painting done of the invasion of hoth. I know that the geometry leaves much to be desired, but I learned that its best to use the rulers & tools provided by photoshop in order to produce more accurate geometric shapes. The only thing I really love about painter is the ability to rotate the canvas at will to create straight lines, unfortunately in photoshop 7 although it can be rotated as such, its a process & is less intuitive than painter..... practice, practice, practice. Done in photoshop 7 with a wacom.

Venom!!!

Its your favorite spider villain! At least my favorite, did this one a while ago & forgot to post it. Created for geeky-mammas & is on sale in the store now. 18x24 - ink, watercolor, marker, color pencil, conte' on watercolor paper. I think overall I didn't really like how this turned out, its not horrible or anything. The only thing I really like about it is the webs....It took me like a solid week to to do all the webs. I first penciled them in, then went over with a fine ink pen & then went over with a brush pen to give certain parts more line-weight. I think thats part of the reason I didn't like it. I spent so much time on the webs..that by the end, I just wanted to get rid of it. But now looking back, I still really like the way the webbing came out.

How 'bout a zombie today?

I said a monster today, so how about a nice zombie, haven't drawn one of those in a while. First inked with whatever pens I had layin around, then I realized that I over did some areas & needed to add some color tp make it pop, so used some copics. This is the stuff that I really enjoy drawing, not too much overthinking, no references just going with the flow. I actually havent inked anything in a while....I mean really detailed inking, so this was fun & it reminded me of how much I like it. Also showed me that I'm a little rusty, so expect a few more of these, but hopefully they'll come out better. HAPPY FRIDAY!

Cosplay Cutie : Wookie Lover

I know, I know...again with the cute stuff! Dont worry though, for everybody who likes my darker stuff, I've got some of that coming up, I just need to catch up & post all the other stuff I've been doing. so I think maybe tomorrow I'll post a monster or something. Anyway, here's a little girl ready for comicon! 9x12, created in copic marker & pitt pens.

Squid Boy!!!

Another Copic marker sketch, did all the skin tones with warm greys, tentacles were neutral greys & eyes cool greys. The background is kinda screwed, I was testing out copic's airbrushing system....works well for smooth background elements, only very light use, not very precise, but can give you the illusion of wide coverage on bigger pieces..anyway, this one was fun to do, I love the smooth gradation you can get with copics!

Happy Octopus

Another Octopus sketch...they rule. 8x10 in copic markers. All shading was done in warm greys, except for eyes & tentacles, done with cool & neutral grays.

Little Hulk

Copic marker sketch of a little hulk dude! prisma pencils for highlights & such!

This one is so cute, it makes me sick, but I had a request for more cute stuff, so thats what I'll give them. This is for a line of drawings I'm doing called " cosplay cuties" just a bunch of little boys & girls in their favorite costumes. HAPPY FRIDAY!

Scare Bear: Punk Bear

Here's another Scare Bear: Punk Bear, I did this one in copic markers, rather than watercolors just as a test, because it is a bit faster, & more convenient. I think that I prefer the look of the watercolor versions myself. I've asked a few people & they said both ways were fine, but I don't know. So if you wouldn't mind leaving a comment & letting me know what you think, I would really appreciate it. Here is a link to one of the watercolor bears in case you don't feel like scrolling down. http://dsilvaart.blogspot.com/2012/05/scare-bear-sacred-heart-bear.html

Sad Girl

Weird little marker sketch, was supposed to be a warm up sketch, but ended up taking longer than expected, hate it when that happens. Done with copic markers & pitt pens
