Thanksgiving Portrait

this was a playful charatature of my wife's parents for the holidays

This was my Fathers Day card this year most of it is inside joke. Been a while since I posted, hopefully it wont be that long again.

Calling the Captain

In the vein of drawing superheroes, I wanted to do one for my friend. His pick was Captain America who I never really got into as a growing up. Mostly it was his costume, it didn't seem to work for me so I never tried with any effort to draw him. And when I heard they were going to do a movie about him, I had my reservations. I have to say that I never really got it. I understood was that the character was needed during a certain time and need for a paragon of American ideals, and he was the one who exemplified it, boosted morale, a fictional leader, but I still didn't like the suit. Well I have to say that after I saw the 2 films I got it. Uncompromising, a leader, a tactition, an idealistist, his representation for all the solders who sacrifice to serve this country, why the suit is the way it is... So I drew him in my favorite uniform.

Sugar Glider update

When I started the characterization of the Sugar Glider, I came up with this little guy...

Juggernaut Mech

This weekend the subject of X-Men and Mechs came into a conversation. I met Dante whose favorite mutant was Juggernaut, and also likes the art of Mechs. I proposed what an interesting subject it would be to have Juggernaut in a Mech suit. During its design I tried to find a suit design that would enhance his mutant power which was being unstoppable once he starts running. I also fitted him with some gunnary which would common in a mech equipment. Well I hope I did them both justice. Thanks Dante.

A Bat Dilemma

It seemed like a funny thing...

Thor

While we were on the subject of Superheroes I'd thought I could give the ones I've never drawn before a crack so here is the God of Thunder.

Joker

Giving some love also to DC Universe here is my version of the Joker.

IM

There was a request of me to draw Iron Man, and I realized I had never drawn him before, this was my first go at him, hope you like it.

HULK

I saw the Avengers movie this weekend and loved it. I would be remiss if I didn't pay homage to a character I've been drawing since I read the comic and watched his TV show. after 2 movies, the finally got him right...ALL HAIL!!!

Sugar Glider character

I am designing a sugar glider cartoon character for a coloring book about indiginous Austrailian wildlife and this was my first doodle...

crow 2012

My rendition based on a drawing by middle school student Jacob Sparks, whose drawing depicted a villian he was designing. I thought the conceptual look was cool so I put my spin on it....hope you like Jacob!
