A kinda DM part 2

I Simplified the hair a bit cause I noticed that when I erased places where there were more strands, I liked the look more. Finally finished the hair (for now) and moved on to the dress... I have a pretty cool idea what I wanna do to with the composition, so I can't wait to finally finish this. Here's the money shots... Enjoy!

The thought bubble is just there for kicks... I might keep it I might not. Also the BG isn't gonna be grey.. just put that in there for contrast

I zoomed in on this one to show some facial/hair detail. Using the highlights to define the hairs direction rather than drawing each strand... which I started to do.... :P

A kinda DM

So there I was, happily working on my robot project late at night and someone on twitter just happened to mention ADM (Appropriately Dirty Minds)... soooo of course I had to stop everything I was doing and draw an appropriate ADM piece. Although, now that I think about it... ADM is actually a bit dirtier than this... ah well... here's my progress shots :D Enjoy!

All this was done in flash, I just like the drawing tools there cause they feel more natural. Even though Illustrator CS4 has a similar brush tool, it still doesn't have the same feel as flash always had for me. Seeing as how I have 4-5 projects waiting completion, I didn't want to spend hella time on this. Maybe 2 sessions or so... but... for some reason, I just can't leave it alone. Hopefully I can finish it soon!

Woodbot Mk 1.0

Yesterday I had the pleasure of having a Starbucks session with my good friends Albert and Eileen, which was one of the most productive sessions I've had in a long time. Few things are better than people watching while making art. So without further ado, here is the product of said session: Woodbot Mk 1.0

The inspiration for this piece is rooted in the short movie A Tale of Two Robots, which was in a collection of animated shorts titled Robot Carnival. This particular collection has a bit of significance, because it was one of the first animes I've ever seen. So in honor of that, I decided to create my own giant wooden robot. Her legs and body need to be detailed a bit more and I want to add a giant weapon of sorts, maybe a spear or something but I'm really happy with how it's coming together.

I think Giant Robots are going to be my next "thing" so look forward to some more, ok? Next up is going to be Albert's Gummy Bot. Peace!

Business Card!

Finished these last night so today I'ma have to make some cheapo print outs so I can have some of these done by the show at Minna. I need to hurry up and order a set from a printer already. -__-; Anyways, peep game:

Live Painting July 10th at Minna Gallery in SF

Title says it all... Myself and a troupe of IC members will be at 111 Minna in The City this Friday night 10PM - 2AM for the 21 and up. Come down and have some drinks with me and we can be great pals. Here's the officials from Oh Dang! Magazine:

By now, your 4th of July hangover should have worn off. While those fingers you blew off lighting fireworks won't grow back, it's okay, you can still sorta wrap your hand around a drink and enjoy some dope art. Catch over a dozen live artists and a photo exhibit from Nina Parks, Karla Amaya and Kirstina Sangsahachart at 111 Minna this Friday. Check the flyer for more...

Oh Dang! always throws great events so I'm really excited to be doing this one. I'll be brainstorming today after work, and hopefully I kick out a good idea. If you want to get on the guest list and save yourself 5 bucks, get at me by the end of the day and I can make it happen. Hope to see you there!

Marionette Concept Sketch
