A Tribute to the Prince

Well here's a drawing I did yesterday of one of my all time favorite characters from one of my favorite Animes...Vegeta from Dragonball Z. Overall, I'm pretty happy on how it came out, enjoy!
HAIL THE PRINCE OF ALL SAIYANS!!! lol :)

Good ol' Ryu!

Been meaning to draw something up from Street Fighter lately, so I figured I'd give Ryu a shot. Tried messing w/ the brushes this time and I'm pretty happy how it came out. Enjoy!HADOUKEN!!! :)

The VolcaSerpent

Alright you guys, well here's another one of my creature concepts, a serpent like monster that lives in volcanic areas. Covered in a rock solid skin, his interior is fueled by actual magma. Well enjoy!

Creature of the DEEP

This is one of my original concepts, a dragon w/ an angler on his head emitting light from his fins...I decided to name the best...the "Angler Dragon." Pretty forward isn't it?;) This is actually an old drawing but i decided to redraw n repaint from scratch. Kind of happy w/ how the light reflections came out, took me a while to get it to work too haha. Well enjoy!

Just as promised...

This here is one of the most recent things I've done. On your left is Mai from SNK and to your right is Morrigan from Capcom. Took me a while to do since I've been lookin up tutorials and trying to mess around w/ the brush settings. Still need to add the hair highlights but other than that...enjoy!

I'm BACK!!!

Hello everyone,
Just wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten this link and that I've been pretty busy. Took some time off to enjoy a bit of short vacation...but now I'm back and you can expect me to start posting up new stuff soon. Take care and thanks for being patient you guys.

Redesigned Characters

Those of you into video games and comics should recognize these characters from the get go, but for those of you who aren't that familiar they are:

-Bowser from "Mario Bros"
-Green Goblin from "Spider-Man"
-Venom from "Spider-Man"

Since I'm practicing on Character Designing, I figured I'd take existing characters and redesign them in my own style. These drawings were done earlier this year but I've touched up the painting further and smoothed out the line work, enjoy!

Disney's Jasmine & Raaja

This is a drawing I did for a dear cousin of mine recently for her 18th birthday, it so happens that she's a big fan of Jasmine. Drew this in paper n later scanned n cleaned up in Photoshop, vectorized the linework through Illustrator and then finally painted it all up in Photoshop. Took me about 4 1/2 hrs to finish through the whole process and I figured I'd share it w/ you guys as well since its one of best pieces I've produced so far, so enjoy!
