So, finally got all the time in the world to draw as much as I want and I started with this a a warm up. I felt like a strawberry milkshake at the time. I wanted something with a classic pin up girl look. I like how it came out.
These character composition pieces, I love doin em. Lately I've been trying to stretch my style a little, add a little extra dynamic to the character movements and such. The obvious one is my newly acquired taste for foreshortening. Never hated it but now I love it.
What can I say, I love these Nintendo characters. I particularly love drawing the Mario brothers, especially Luigi, he never gets much shine anyway. Pikachu and Ash to me are two badass characters that don't get the badassness they deserve, so I did my part =P
Here's some love for the incredibles, its an exellent Pixar movie, one of the best perhaps. And more love for good ol' Earthworm Jim, awesome classic game and cartoon. That's a character I could never get tired of drawing, he's so lively and expressive, he just begs for me to draw him. Ok enough rabbling, enjoy!
An update! The samurai type dude was a commision for a DJ SHWANN, this was mad fun to do. Learnt a few things doing that one. Aang was a commisioned piece as well, quite enjoyable seeing as I'm a huge fan of the series, I've just started on season 3 and it lookin great. I hope the live action adaptation by M. Knight Shayamayalana (yeah I have no idea how to say or spell his name) is good and not another Dragonball Evolution *garbage*. Took some time to do something for myself though, I love kindgom hearts, some say its a kids game I say kiss my buttcheeks. I love it. Had I more time I woulda drawn goofy and donald in the back maybe thrown some heartless in there, a bit more of a setting and shit happening everywhere... had I more time that is. Until next post, stay classy.
"Got a sweet lil' darling back in my corner Below I know I love her, but act like I don't want her Surrounded by the lonely, but yet feel like a loner Could be an organ donor the way I give up my heart, but Never know because - shit, I never tell her Ask me about my feelings I'd holler that it's irrela' I don't get myself caught up in the Jello gella' And puddin' pops, that others opt to call falling in love, but For the record, have you ever rode a horse? Would I like for you to take me to Pluto? I said, "Of course!" But if you ain't a sweety indeedy, I won't endorse Hans Solo till I'm hit by the bullet, so may the force Be with you, and I'll hit you when better time permits For now, give me examples of why you're the shit! But how am I to know with the profession that I'm in? And if you do not know me, then how could you be my friend?"
That is, Harvey Dent. Probably one of the most complex and troubled comic book characters ever created and also my favorite. I did this one as part of an art trade with my amigo Scott, he did Shazam for me.
Hugh is a Melbourne based Illustrator/Comic book artist. Umm.. perhaps theres more to be said about him, but nothing comes to mind at this point in time. Looky the art, enjoy it.
