Raphael

Pen and paper drawing. Black background added in Photoshop.

IT'S A TRAP!

Digital illustration. This was completely drawn in Photoshop using a Wacom tablet. A fitting tribute to Erik Bauersfeld who originally voiced Admiral Akbar and just passed away.


I also animated it in Adobe After Effects. All movable parts were drawn on separate layers in Photoshop so that they could be edited and moved in After Effects.


Caricatures

I haven't drawn in a while, so I decided to pick it up again. To start, I made some celebrity caricatures. Here's Ted Danson as he appeared on Cheers (Sam 'Mayday' Malone), and Jim Parsons as he appears on Big Bang Theory (Sheldon Cooper).



Iron-Man

Here is a commissioned drawing of Iron-Man I did for a co-worker...


Here is the outline.

And the final color.

"Cute Polar Bear"

It was requested that I draw a "cute polar bear"... this is the result.

Conan

So Conan O'Brien hosted an art contest for his show at San Diego Comic Con. I entered, and my art was actually featured on his show! The episode it was featured on aired on 7/10/15.

Here is the artwork I submitted. It's a digital drawing of his superhero character, "The Flaming C".


Here's a screenshot of my pic as it appeared in the episode.

Ripley

Photoshop drawing. I think the photo this is based off of is a scene from "Aliens"... although, I'm not sure. Either way, here's Sigourney Weaver.

Joker

Experimenting in Photoshop. This was drawn with the polygonal lasso tool. I outlined the shapes and colored them in. I kind of like the angular look.

Oz Wars

So a friend of mine is quite a big fan of the Wizard of Oz as well as Star Wars, and they asked if I could combine the two. So here is Oz Wars.

R2-Dog2, Luke Scarecrower, Princess Dorothy, the Cowardly Wookie, and Tin-3P0.
Drawn on paper, colored in Photoshop.

Leo VS. Leo

Finally got back to drawing. Since the movie just came out a little bit ago, I decided to draw this comic image. Leo VS. Leo... of course, there's only one TRUE Ninja Turtle in this pic. haha So now you know what I think of the new TMNT movie... and of Michael Bay.

Original drawing in pencil.


Inked.


Final color. This was colored in Photoshop which allowed me to add all the textures. I also corrected the angle of the guard on the sword.

Dinosaurs

Pen on the cardboard back of a note pad.

Happy Anniversary! card

This is an anniversary card that I made for my parents on their 30th anniversary. All hand drawn pixel art. 150pixels wide and 200 pixels high. 2 frame animation.

Egon Spengler

Decided to get back to drawing... So I drew this freehand with no reference photos. Then I scanned it and colored it in Photoshop.

Cerebus The Aardvark

I was contacted by Mr. Simonsen of What Comics Entertainment a few years ago. He said he'd seen my work on Vimeo and wondered if I'd like to help animate a 3D animated film based on the comic book series Cerebus The Aardvark. He stated that it wasn't going to be a huge Hollywood budget film, but more of an Independent film that would stay true to the source material. Well, I've animated quite a bit for them now and it's getting close to being completed. Recently, I helped design the opening intro of the film.

Here's the intro I made for him posted on What Comics' youtube channel...

Cerebus Intro 

I had made this background for the text and logo to stand atop of. This is a Photoshop composite of 2 different parchments with 2 different boarders edited together.


Turns out Mr. Simonsen liked the background so much, that he wanted one to be featured in the final version of the film. So I went to work making another parchment background that would be AOK for commercial use.

And here it is. This one was made by combining 7 different parchment images together. The boarder was drawn myself, but based off some sort of medieval mosaic pattern I found.

 And here it is with the Cerebus logo.

These were even featured on What Comics' own blog for the film.

Tree Frog

I did this acrylic painting back in 2003. I think the photo it was based on was from a National Geographic... but I could be wrong about that. It's been a while.


Looking at this now, I kind of want the leaves to be a bit more three-dimensional. They just seem a bit flat. Granted, I'm not much of a canvas painter, so it's really not that bad... I guess.

More Ninja Turtles

Yes, it's another Ninja Turtle drawing. haha This one was done for a college project where we had to create a drawing that faded from one color to another complimentary color. In this case, red to green.


This was done completely in gouache.

Mike Dirnt stipple

This is a stipple drawing I did of Mike Dirnt from Green Day. I think this was done around 2006, but I just found it the other day.


Venom

Original character drawing of Spider-Man's Venom. Drawn by hand and then scanned and colored in Photoshop.


Original sketchbook drawing.

Cartoon Battle


So while at work a few months ago, I was sketching during lunch and some of my co-workers started giving me ideas for drawings. This is a request from one of them.

"Draw an epic battle!"
"What characters?"
"Street Sharks!"
"OK..."
"And Powerpuff Girls!"
"Sure."
"And the Rescue Rangers! Oh, can you draw the Biker Mice From Mars!?!"

Original drawing.

Gojira!!!

Original drawing of Godzilla/Gojira. No reference photos were used while drawing this.
