some more Alien vs Predator

I'm having fun drawing this alien vs predator tattoo design for my friend Chris

I really like the way this one is coming out but after looking at it I feel that it's not going to be a good layout for an arm tattoo. After a while it'll looked bloched, the details are to small.

wow, I really need to get a scaner again- I think for an arm tattoo, I need to do a close up. really can't see the pencil marks but the Predator is choking the Alien.

Some late night sketches

So I was supposed to create a fullbody character for the last series of heads that I submitted...well, you know how that goes! So I wanted to draw a stylized warrior in a simple color combo, so this is what I came up with. This character is something I have been doing for a long time, its something I always go back to. I really like the eagle, I think it would be pretty cool if the characters had some living animal sitting on their head instead of the feathered or animal skin head dress...haha, now I have to draw a big ass jaguar sitting on some poor dudes head.

The bird was something that I thought would be cool yet creepy at the same time. The Aztecs were a pretty creepy people with all the death and blood rituals and I thought what if the aztecs took their pets and put some crazy skulls on them for sacrificial purposes. I thought it looked pretty cool.

I really liked the pose of the last dude I created, but it felt unfinished for some reason. So I tried it again in a different style, i tried to incorporate more sharp edges. Once I was done I stepped back and looked at it and started laughing at the face...He looks just like El Nando! hehehe!

Aztec Faces

Been pretty busy with this new gig. But I managed to knockout some sketches of a medicine man/villan idea that I have tucked away in my brain. Hopefully I can get a full body sketch colored and posted by this weekend.

Finished Dark Angel Chaplin

 

Just finished coloring this Dark Angels chaplin, on to the next one. 

Some more coloring

 

working on a coloring project- trying to stay sharp- still need alot of work, but I think it'll look cool when I'm finished

close up of the face

Aliens vs Pred

I need help- again. What do you think I should do the Predators left hand?

just some more sketches

Not Happy

Not to happy with the way this eagle warrior came out- I like the concept not the execution. I'm going to work on him some more.

Getting use to Dailys

just playing around with a color comp- I had to get this outta the way. I'm starting to like the way it's coming out. What I don't like is the tail- so I'm going to change that and start adding some details.

just sorting things out- this bird like creature started off as a statue but ended up looking to organic, so I just put a rider on it.

Something old and something new...

The idea was to create new images everyday and turn them in by 10am deadline. But since I have some pretty important stuff to do tomorrow I will post tonight. I had this head roaming around in my brain and I thought it would be cool if I included it in the conceptuals. I wanted to do something very Aztec Indian looking so I exaggerated the nose and ears, I laughed when I first sketched it so I continued to render it out.

This is a really simplified bruiser, I tried to stay away from the muscles and didnt want to get too caught up in the details. I have been jonesin' on drawing some weapons so I wanted to draw the macuahuitl which is main weapon in the Aztec arsonal.

I am not a fan of drawing backgrounds, but I really want to get good at them. This is my attempt at an Aztec temple with the jungle landscape. The idea was that I wanted to create a pov of someone pushing the bushes aside and seeing this great temple...but I got lazy and didnt want to draw the plant life around the edges. oh well.

I said I was gonna come back and fill in the intial sketch that I had posted earlier. So here it is my scanner for some reason is actin really weird so the effect of this drawing is no something I was happy with...maybe its the red tattoos? Dont know, either way the idea was good but I dont think I succeeded. I really like the action pose of him walking, should have done plants instead of huts.

So thats that...Im off to rest my hand and watch the boobtube for a while.

PEACE

Aztec concepts

Did I mention that I really like posting aztec themed drawings?

So the first image is just a quick pencil sketch of an aztec warrior, I need to put in all the accesories and whatnot. I dont know where I was going as far as the design was concerned; still need to flush him out later.

The second image is a really cartoony character, I had the most fun doing this one. I have a thing for characters with costumes on so I thought this would be perfect for a jaguar warrior creeping through the bushes. I wanted to keep him real simple so that I can color him later.

Third is the really buff crazy warrior, this is the modern day wrestlers inspiration. I made him with a fully feathered mask and some huge muscles. I didnt have the time to figure out what kind of weapon i wanted to give him. I think it looks cool.

I am going to finish up the first character and see what I come up with. PEACE!

The begining

I spent time thinking of what my idea would be like to be in this Aztecish (is that a word) type world. This is what I came up with so far:

They like nature, especially water (for this project, I’m gonna have them in an isle like Tenochititlan; most of their buildings and statues are made of different types of stones; they try to use intimidation on visitors (the reason for huge buildings and statues); they believe in supernatural and sorcery; they have advanced technology.

For the Spain dudes:

they are brutal; they use steel and wood for materials; they use steam engines and gun powdered weapons; they are well trained in fighting as a unit.

I'm starting to work on the environments and how the world is gonna look. For now I have no idea why I had this hard on for this bridge, but the first pic has a serpent statue that goes in and out of the bridge. I saw a cool two dimensional symbol that I used as inspiration for this design.

The second pic I was just trying to get a feel for the bridge that connects two pyramids together. As a few ideas, I have one with the bridge that has statues down both sides of the walk way- nothing special. The other has a water stream that goes down the middle of the bridge with a water fall to end it- or maybe I could incorporate both elements?

The third pic I started messing with the pyramid shapes cause I don't want to do just a regular 'ol pyramid. oh and then some random dude- I just wanted to draw a jaguar.

For now I'm still gonna flesh out the environments and different elements.
