Burn

Burn will debut at this weekend's MoCCA Fest!

It is handbound and cut, so it's not perfect... which, I guess, is the point of zines.

It was a fun project nonetheless. All done in Photoshop.

You can purchase it ONLINE!

March Update...

     I've been working on some pet projects that I'm not quite ready to post just yet. But I have been re-posting some old artworks from my DeviantArt site on Tumblr and also some quick updates.

     I'm also gonna be at this year's MoCCA Art Festival at Table D12 with Alexandra Beguez... 2/3 of Three Armed Squid representing! We'll have our new zines. If not, there's always the online store.

Our Three Armed Squid site is also updated!

Random Cutesies

Did a couple of these...

It was a fun practice.

Snow.

This is the summary of the month of February......

I'm looking forward to spring!

Burn (zine-in-progress)

This will actually by the back cover.

     After completing the 2nd issue Nature of Nature, I'm finally starting a new zine! This one is gonna somewhat abstract.

Preliminary cover design.

It's actually based on a character I previously drew. She's a fire priestess.

My initial cover idea.... color test.

     Like always, I try to change up how I do the comic. Which can be both a good and bad thing. The previous zines I made were Pen/Brush/Inked.

For this one, I am gonna draw the whole thing through Photoshop.

Quickie sketch.

     But I did draw the "thumbs" and initial idea on paper and taped them on my closet door. This helps to see the continuity of the story.

My non-sensical storyboards....

Folkdance

With her veil.... looks better I think

     I was messing around trying to design some new X-Men members that I ended up just creating new characters for myself. This is Folkdance from the Philippines.

     Her design is based off the costumes worn in Filipino folkdances (where her codename is derived from), namely Singkil. I liked the dress like suit and the "head cape" (veil).

     She is supposed to be super graceful/ agile/ and other abilities I haven't quite settled with yet.... Kinda like a Filipina Psylocke. It took a few tries to get her to the point that I like... 

Without her veil

     Quite different from a previous Filipiniana design I did. I'll draw her again in action poses.

Agni

     I was trying to do some re-designs for X-Men characters but ended up just creating new ones... This was supposed to be Thunderbird (III).

     I ended up creating, Agni, based on the Indian God. He creates fire (and flaming arms) out of the silver panels on his costume.

More character designs soon....

3AS Zine preview- Elementals

     Three Armed Squid will have its 3rd issue sometime Early-mid 2014. This year's theme is the Four Elementals! I got the fire one, Salamander.

     I can't wait for the issue to come out and see what the other contributors has in store. You can also get our back issues online.

Degenerate Craft Fair 2013

     Something to do!!! Degenerate Craft Fair will be on Dec. 14-15 @ Lafayette Street. I will be sharing a table with my collective, Three Armed Squid!

Nature of Nature #1 (printed!)

     I've had to put aside the second issue of Nature of Nature, since I was pretty busy the last month. I did, however, finally got the first issue riso-printed thanks to Eric Taylor @ SouthSprings.
