Vladimir sketches

It is a fun challenge trying to draw an animal that is moving a lot. What do you think? :)

I'm back in black

Oh yeah, that's right, I DO have an art blog...

Sorry folks. Christmas/New Year madness and all that rot. This is an entry for a superhero contest run by Talenthouse. Hopefully even if I don't win I may expand on her universe someday in a comic book or something. (?) This is a mixed media artwork, a mixture of Photoshop, traditional drawing/paint media and paper collage. 'La Sombra' or Brazilian for The Shadow is a 18 year old heroine who is more of a vigilante-type of character, who takes revenge on the local crime syndicates and on the human trafficking rings of Rio de Janeiro who have kidnapped her sister for profit. Iara's powers are supernatural in origin, but her main ability is mastery of the martial art style known as capoeira. Capoeira was developed by colonial slaves who needed a way to defend themselves when they escaped, and you can check it out here:

A collage/painting made out of all the women's faces from one of my Italian pulp fiction comic books and an old issue of 'Nightman'. This one I was just cleaning my brush and lacking a rag or clean water I just drybrushed/wiped it off on a board here and there, eventually somehow it turned into a small abstract painting.

A few more illustration sketches based on actual dreams I have had.

A new character design

I'd love say that she's based on a boogeyman of my own childhood, but she's not. She is actually based on an old handed-down blue and black striped long sleeved shirt with exposed shoulder patches that ill fits me but I still love to death anyways.

Burn their children's laughter on to hell.

Sorry for the slow updates. I'm out saving the world every other day when I am not trying to take it over with my death ray machines. I'm also busily listening to my new System of a Down cd and the Relayer album by YES, as you can see here in the Sketchbook Project spread below.
