Monsters are always late!

Hey guys! sorry for the delay but I've been having problems with blogspot at my place. Anyway, here is my tribute to one of the underdogs of Dreamworks Animation, This movie actually had some pretty cool designs and ideas, and I think one of it's stronger points were the jokes. It was really funny but the visual aspect wasn't as impressive as Kung Fu Panda or HTTYD. In any case is a good movie to check out and to be honest, classic monsters are always a great character idea.

Ink the Pirate

Okay, so I may have used the pirate theme for one of my inking assignments. I think before Pirates of the Caribbean (the movie) came out I had another mental image when I thought of pirates, and to this day I still think that's the most amazing pirate story ever told. I'm talking about the Monkey Island games by Lucasart (before all they did was Star Wars games). Monkey Island is definitely my favorite game of all-times. It was an amazing adventure game and the most important part: FUNNY AS HELL. I truly recommend this game to anyone and right now is a good moment to start because the past few years they released an special edition for the first and second game.

This game marked me so much that, after playing the third one, the art style really influenced the way I drew for a long time.

I know that, because I needed to take reference from a photograph, I didn't draw Guybrush (the main character from the Monkey Island game) but I also posted an illustration I did a few years ago as a fan art of the game. I hope you enjoy it!

For Thundera!

Here is my entry for the Thundercats theme. I'll try to have the rest this weekend.

Trying to catch up!

Okay, so I've been out for a while but here I am trying to keep up. I may end up skipping a few post but here are the Indiana Jones and the Pulp heroes drawings.

For the Indiana Jones I went with the Doctors. This has to be my favorite movie of the three and I really love the dynamic between the two of them. (Even though my dad started calling me Junior because of this movie).

And as for the Pulp Hero I decided to go with The Shadow. It's no secret that I really like dark characters and even that awful Alec Baldwin movie was entertaining to watch.

Green Canary and Black Arrow

For this week theme I went with my favorite couple of the Justice League. I have always liked the dynamic between this two and Green Arrow is a BADASS.

!

I have to admit that Metal Gear Solid was the game that made me go back into video games. I loved the story and the gameplay. The fact that you had to sneak into every level trying to avoid the guards and the taps was fascinating to me. I love the tactical part of it. Anyway this is my homage to that first time I went into Shadow Moses Island to fight Foxhound and Liquid Snake.

Hand of Doom indeed!

So, this weeks theme was awesome! I love Mignola's Hellboy and all the universe he has created around it. But, I have to say I have fallen into shame here. As I was drawing my Hellboy piece I got so exited after doing the rough for the pose that I immediately started inking it and; I'm ashamed to say; forgot the right hand of doom. I know I can never call me a Hellboy fan ever again.

Anyway I fixed the thing with a little help from Adobe Photoshop and here it is. Oh! and he is fighting Nazi tentacles because... well, because what else can he fight?

Apollo

My first post at the Periodic Heroes! Thanks again for the invite Phil. So, to be honest I've never read either The Authority nor Planetary but I'm familiar with it thanks to Frank Quitely's work and I've always liked this guy's costume design. Now I understand he's a bio engineered gay Superman but I guess that just mean I have to read the damn book.

Anyway, hope everyone enjoys it and thanks Phil for letting me in such a great group of artists (hope I can keep up).

See ya next week!
