Big Wow commisions

Big Wow last weekend was Awesome! I did 9 commissions! That's a record for me so far.  Here's some of my favorite ones from the weekend.
 
 
 
 
This was the last one of the commissions that I did, and it's from some old school video game.

 
Captain James T. Kirk

 
This isn't a commission....in fact, I don't know what the hell it is.



 
Galactus


 
A sentinal

 
This is of a guy named Spade.  I actually did two commissions for him.  It's a superhero that the guy wearing the costume had created.

Stuff I'm working on, and some great fan art for my Popapocalypse story

Alright, check it out BOYIEEEEE, I gots a bunch of stuff to show this week.  First off, since I'm busy at work on page 6 of Popapocalypse- the page where the Cornel (based on Cornel Sanders) is introduced- here's some fan art from one of my best friends, and one very talented artists Hà Huy Hoàng.  It's four of the main characters from the book- The Thief, The Clown, The Cornel, and the Captain. Can you guess who they're all based on?




 
The next few illustrations is a set of homework assignments that I did for the very awesome Fantasy and Sci-Fi illustration class with Stephen Player.  All these are based on paragraph long descriptions given to us by a fake "client." One is a giant flying fish ship that can cause storms, and the other is a giant toad that eats metal.

Wondercon Costumes 2013 Anahiem

















Wondercon commisions!

So, the week after wondercon is crazy busy, but I was able to put together a post for all you peoples (meaning my mom, a couple of 13 year olds, and one very lonely individual living in Arkansas). I'll start this post off by saying that Wondercon in Anahiem is freaking AMAZIIIIINGGG!! I mean, this place was huge, and right outside of DISNEYLAND (where I spent many hours staring longingly through the gates. Until security kicked me out.)  So, because of all the major amounts of work I have to do, I'm gonna shut up now and show you the commissions that I did while I was at the P5 table.


Jafar, the best villain from Disney EVER!


some other Disney villain

 
I drew an evil brain gorilla in this sketchbook right near a Bachelo Sketch!
I drew the Pimp Barbarian for someone, and he let me keep the character idea!
Ash Fairless with the Malcolm Reynolds drawing I did
This guy with the Apocalypse and Batman
This one comes with a story! Yayyyyy! So, this guy had me draw him as the Clockwork Orange guy two years ago, and since then has started a whole collection of drawings of him as a character. So, this time around he had me draw him as Swampthing, and the talented Carla Wyzgala watercolored over it!


BOOM!

My concept work for Giant Realms

I totally forgot all this stuff yesterday that I wanted to show all of you- The game that I spent the last half a year working on finally came out for the android and all the smarty phones, and it's kicking ass all over the place.  It's called Giant Realms (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmo.mobile.giantrealms). What I mainly did was the particle effects, basically stuff like the volcano smoke and lava explosions, and when you tap on a coin, the coin burst that happens, but I was able to do the concept designs for one of the giants: THE DESERT GIANT.  Now that the game is out, I can finally show off the sketches I did when designing him.

This week is a light one, because I have a lot of pots on the stove but nothing is really bubbling yet.  However, to tide you all over for a week, I have my in-progress Popapocolypse page #5, and my sci-fi and fantasy illustration homework, which is also a WIP.

Popapocolypse Preview and ECCC commisions

ECCC got me all revved up to make some more comics: and my current one, Popapocolypse, is what I'm currently working on.  What we gots here is the first few pages of the comic, set to premier in the next edition of Figments, and then on the Popapocolypse website debuting this summer.  Popapocolypse is my ultimate creation, with elements from all my previous comics, and it's a love letter to my childhood, my country and it's culture, and our comic books.  I'll be reveling the story slowly to you as it's happening, because I don't want to give too much away, but It's something that I'm really proud of, and taking my time with (while I also work and go to school, and do my internship).  I aim for a page a week until summer, when I can ramp up the production a little bit.  Here's the first few pages in the stages of production that they're in currently.

What we have here is the floating continent of Australia, the only surviving government after WW3, or the Creation War as some like to call it.  Australia survived by raising part of it's continent above the clouds, where they've established a "big brother" type society.  It's been a hundred years.  The group you see here are rebels, raging against the machine, and led by the enigmatic leader known as No. 9.  Currently things look kind of bad, as they're about to walk the plank.
 
The judges, wearing gas masks to protect their fragile wussy lungs from the harsh open air have judged the rebels as being guilty, and exiled them from the floating country by forcing them to walk the plank.

A better look at the floating country of Australia
 
No. 9 and his rebels fall towards what's left of the earth, a hundred years after the creation bomb exploded, causing the popapocolypse (I can't wait to show you what that means, and what this world looks like) but first they must pass through the acid clouds that cover this dangerous world.  The next page is the revel of some of the world. 

Alright, I'm gonna go back to work on this, because I'm just too damn excited about it.

 
Oh, also, here's some commissions I did at the ECCC 





I'm not going to post the Gambit/Rouge one, because I hate it.

Emerald City Comic Con Wrap-up Part 1




My first time in Seattle: very awesome.  I don't want to brag about all my artwork and commissions just yet, so I'll just start this off with some sight seeing that I did.  I didn't see the space needle, the fish tossing, or the sci-fi museum.  More importantly, I didn't see Phoenix Jones!  Here's some cosplayers that I did see however, enjoy!

The Sentinel!  What you don't see here is a removed panel on the other side of his head, with a little wolverine toy busting out amongst random springs and bolts.

 
Can never go wrong with an old school Captain America
 


Mystery Science Theatre anyone? I wanted to sit next to this guy in a movie.

 
Boba Demon Samurai?

 
The only Xorn costume that I've ever seen.  The guy could use a lesson in poses though.

 
Usually I hate Hawkman, but this guy was rocking it.
 

The lady Juggernaut, which was just....weird.

 
The name's Doom, baby!

 
You should know who this is, and if you don't, climb out of that cave you're living in please.
 
 
HAHA. Joust. How silly.


 
Star Lord

 
The most awesome family that ever lived

 
Some transformer guy

 
Everyone loves them some Logan

 
And finally, the best of them all: Galactus!  He ever had a little silver surfer on a piece of clear plastic stuck to his should, so it'd look like he was flying around him.  FTW!
