the joy of water

2012-01-24T11:04:00.000-08:00

i do my little share on water preservation at home.. and those little acts inspired me to do this painting which shows in a cartoony way, what water does when we just let it be. the harmony and life it gives. it was done with watercolors on watercolor paper dimensions 9 x 12.. not to happy with the small details, i feel i gotta improve more my technique, but it was good progress.

bum alley punk! ... and some hearthy beans!

2012-01-23T23:38:00.000-08:00

2011-04-06T09:46:00.000-07:00

Got inspired by some classmates to do a quick digital painting.. so timed myself to stop at 40 min and this is what resulted... i used a picture reference for the color from the movie earth (when the shark jumps). the rest i mainly done by myself and some nice brushes i got... i am proud of myself not so much for the result but for actually getting around to it. I only posted it to see what anybody can recomend me to do better on the next ones...

monster Head bust! 3D!!!

2011-03-19T10:50:00.000-07:00

this is one of the first thing i built in 3D, i feel the learning curve has definetly peaked this last year, and results are starting to show.. so i ll be posting more 3D stuff... few things were changed from the concept art below. but i tried to maintain the likeness as much as i could..

Monster Headbust concept

2011-01-22T08:30:00.001-08:00

finally another post!!! its good getting finished pieces done once in a while so i can post... This is a project for my modeling class soon enough i ll post the 3D version with textures, rig, animatio, the whole thing
enjoy

My cannon!!

2010-11-29T16:19:00.000-08:00

So i am learning 3D, and i been spending countless hours doing so... i cant deny the process its been really fun, but stressfull, i also gotta admit i am going crazy over my upcoming vacation. so at least I hope it pays off staying in the same room from sunset to sunrise 3dee-ing at the end

2010-11-07T08:09:00.000-08:00

Back to projects
This one is just the rotation of a character we are going to be modeling 3D, aswell as building a sculpey sculpture of... Her name is Ashga and the reason she looks wild and crazy is because she was raised by some little evil creatures.

just a pose and skeleton which is part of the project

oh florida!!!

2010-09-10T09:04:00.001-07:00

just came back from florida 2 week vacation but drawing wasnt the exception, i spent many hours drawing places, ppl and things that called my attention.

this one was a lot of fun.. i am a fan of octopus, and they had this big giant pacific octopus at sea world which i couldn't but stare for like 2 or 3 hours. amazing creature, i even got to see when it got fed.. how cool is that?!?!?

more sea world

more seaworld

while at work!!

2010-07-30T08:00:00.001-07:00

During some slow morning at work, i decide sometimes to spend some time drawing what i want, rather than people faces that i dont know,it gets me in trouble, but its still fun and it gets me costumers.. its also good since i got to do them just from my mind, its good practice... so here are some of the them.. hope you like em...

Paaanks!!!

2010-07-21T23:29:00.000-07:00

after a few days of no posting and doing a lot of practicing and playing i had come up with stuff i am happy with... altough not too proud about... happy because is better that most of what i ve done in the past but not as good as i would want to be but thats the fate of an artist soo... oh and drawing punks is fun... the uglier and scarier and meaner the better....

FLEA....

2010-06-03T15:38:00.001-07:00

this is hand drawn caricature of my favorite basist, from one of my favorite bands... Flea... i got some pictures from google and created a little collection to make my new picture of him.. so i cant really say i did from a picture but i did it from many pictures, so hopefully i got more of his personality and his nature by doing it this way rather than just exagerating the one picture, i wouldn´t feel right by doing so...

the good the bad and this animation

2010-05-26T08:56:00.001-07:00

last classical animation assignment.. had to create a character for it. along with the classic voice of clint eastwood in the movie -the good the bad and the ugly- i noticed some issues with this, mainly subtleties, from which i have learned much. considering is the first animatied acting piece i ve done. any critics are welcomed.

some goodies

2010-05-18T09:32:00.000-07:00

just some of my sketchbook most recent stuff.. so happy i have so much time for sketching cool random goodies hhehe

mothers day

2010-05-18T08:47:00.000-07:00

this is a really typical house in the Colombian farmland, i made this scenario up but i referenced the vegetation and color tones from photographs i took in Colombia.. this is something i been getting asked to do by my mom for a while now so i gave it a try.. even thought it is more on the serious side, i still had fun doing it... i only wished that i knew how to capture a watercolor painting properly with a scanner. it is so much better to look at the original.. any tips?

The hand challenge!!

2010-05-04T08:47:00.000-07:00

well the idea is to do 400 hands... as you can tell i just started since these are only the 19 - 28 hands that i drew. still got a way to go.. may keep posting so stay tuned

the weight of animation!!!

2010-01-27T11:30:00.000-08:00

This is an animation We just finished in class today... i was fairly happy, i see my mistakes but it was good for learning slow in and slow out the acting and the way the animation proceeded was of my choice, the objective was to show understanding of wight and acting in an animation, so this was my result.

this is a previews animation we did of the character lifting the wight... for this project the instructions were more specific onto how we go about doing our project... the objective was to have the character show his emotion or reaction to the problem of having to lift that weight. I really liked this one... i spend extensive amount of hours making sure everything was working... so the only thing i feel like i gotta start leaning toward is on how to make it more interesting.. maybe watching videos of Duffy duck or goofy trying the same actions and learning how to exaggerate the movement...

UHH la la!!!

2009-11-10T17:35:00.000-08:00

Well i didn't get the good marks this time on my animation, hopefully my next one looks better. thanks for watching!!! hope to not disappoint you!

Project 3 - head and hands

2009-10-18T19:15:00.000-07:00

seems like most of my posts have been all digital... i ll try to get that fixed by next week... meanwhile... this piece is our digital tool class 3rd project... it wasn't that fun to do.. took me more than it should have taken me for what it is, cuz there was a lot of photoshop malfunctions and i was not too content with what i was doing so there was a lot of last minute changes.... dont know if i am happier cuz i am done or with the end result. but well, hope u lads like it. keep an eye for more stuff to come

2009-10-17T20:57:00.000-07:00

Octopus - digitial work

2009-07-23T10:17:00.000-07:00

I decided to create this octopus just for fun and to be productive since i was bored. and i guess becuause of my facination for them. took me about 3 to 4 hours. done it photoshop, used a few options from the image tab at the top of photoshop and the history tool.

here below is an image of the illustration before any effect was done. i though twice before showing it because it may take away from the final piece coolness or it may make my final piece look cooler

stay tuned for more goodies

this is probably the most rendered picture i've done... preety happy with it, cuz i see the likeness well balanced out with the exagerations and the beliebality.. altough i see a lot more space to improve..

my first attempt on doing a well rendered caricature, unfinished... may post a finish one leter. don't really find it believable but its still funny sooo theeere....

pan shot

2009-07-15T09:21:00.000-07:00

one the the last projects from my layout class. It was done a while ago now, but since is the biggest layout i've done so far i though it would be nice to show... took a buch of hours to finish... and it was nicely reawarded with a nice mark... i am looking forward for more of this stuff.

vampire bat-man transformation

2009-07-10T06:56:00.000-07:00

my final character design project, i been meaning to post this up for a while now. i got to admit is one of my best peaces. spent so many hours on it (days) and i am happy whith the outcome, cleaning up really was a b%$ch but i am happy and is done, it got me a good mark and it made beer taste better the week after, (you figure).

keep tuned for more posts.

office-helper

2009-07-10T06:16:00.000-07:00

this is Joe an office-helper with a low self confidence but curious, sort of a igor but in the office, this is just an idea for character design for the next semester, i ll keep creating more. i think the sketch version of the guy its more appealing in my eyes, but its always better to present stuff clened up so here it is. any suggestion would be gratly appreciated. i find this clean up procces a bit tedious, specialy is you had to resize you image in the middle of the procces :s ...
anyways, hope you like it
keep tuned for more posts leter

brute!!!

2009-07-09T07:58:00.000-07:00

this is my brute - spent about good uncontious 3 to 4 hours, mostly cleaning it up. and donewithout a previews sketch, wich really didn't help becuase i didn't know what to look for and just went for whatever my fingers would push things to. really like it. I think is a character with potential to be fully rendered, at least in paper.

hoping to post more things soon

anyways c'ya l8tr

random digital drawings

2009-01-24T09:28:00.000-08:00

This is one my digital tools assignments, altough the layout for the assingment was different, here i just wanted to show were i took my drawing with some computer assistance

El Diablo. One of my character designs, it is one of my fave. I wanted to keep the shading simple and i stayed away from the fading so it stays like an animatable character .

trying out the tablet - and practicing photoshop. hope this is the start of a new digital world for me, cuz i enjoy it, altough i got to admit i flunked at drawing in different layer because this is done in only one, and it took a while cuz of the uni-layer approach.

the line art was given to me, and all i had to do was the coloring, but i found it really fun to do, looking forward to post more of these.
