El Valiente STRIKES!!!

Just a real quick, inspired coversketch for my chum Ray Ramos' character El Valiente. Ray asked me if I would draw something up for Valiente's sophmore issue and how could I resist?

The final image while similar to this will have more detail especially on that crashed plane and the zombie hordes and I'll fix all the nasty perspective and placement issues like Val's arm and the female agents floating problem.

For more info on this kooky masked wrestler and his worldly adventures (even though he is from El Paso and went to Riverside High School!) check out Ramos' page on deviantART:

GET ON UP, TECHNICALS!!!

In space...no one can hear you scream!

Here's a quick look at my digital sketching process and a Warholian type shot of color variations of the same pic.

Enjoy!

Warholian?!? Is that anything like Kafkaesque?

I'll take sketching for $1000, Alex.

Yeah just more sketches...



This is a shot of Ray Ramos' El Valiente done in China Marker.

This is a sketch idea for a pin-up that I'm working on for an artbook contest and as a promo for a possible artbook of my own!

Duality and Robot hijinks!

WOW, posting more regularly? Wonder how long this'll last.

Anywho, here's a peek at some sketchwork that became finished pieces for show on my deviantART account.

The top is a shot of Autobot Blaster providing a young Caitlin aka Ridel on DA with tunes in true Transformers fashion! Click here to see the sketch that inspired this wackiness: http://ridel.deviantart.com/art/Blaster-and-me-close-up-85504624 and here for the finished piece: http://stalk.deviantart.com/art/More-than-meets-the-eye-88761730.

Next we've got the quick sketch of another fellow Deviant's character: DUALMASK!

Created by Jonathan Price, you can see a model sheet for this bad boy here on his DA page: http://dualmask.deviantart.com/art/Just-so-you-can-see-87816676. Check out the finished piece here: http://stalk.deviantart.com/art/Dualmask-88763239.

Don't take the acid if you're going to trip!

Just some sketch stuff for my buddy Alex Riegel's Battery Acid characters Ginger and Sparkz.

Moving right along...

I just love not having a point to all this sketching! Just grab the pen tool and GO!!!
