The Qirin Hunter

The Qirin Hunter (progress)

The Qirin Hunter is finally done!

I've been working on this for the past few weeks.

And I finally got it done! Yey! Originally inspired by a design test I did.

Here are some work-in-progress pics compared with the finished pages.

It took awhile to figure out the final character designs.

Once I figured it out, it was all good.

It was definitely fun to do.

The zine will debut this coming Saturday, June 7th at the Grand Comics Festival.

Dino Megazord

 

The First Megazord. I'll be silkscreening this soon with the final color guide.

     The Inking... I did it on canvas paper. Which was awesome! It gave my lines a very nice texture. I also fixed the proportions once I scanned it to Photoshop.

     The Pencils and Sketch... The proportions where off when I started. I was using a non-photo blue lead holder to draw it out. I kept erasing lines and continually changing as I drew. 

I'll post the silkscreen prints as soon as I finish them! A nice "sequel" to my Super Folio.

A Chidren's Show

     I recently did a design test for a Children's show gear towards Indian youth. It was taking Indian Children's Rhyme and creating a world out of it. It was gonna be in the vein of Yo, Gabba Gabba and Mother Goose Club.

I, sadly, didn't get it but I had a blast doing the test.

However, it gave me some great addition to my portfolio.

 I've always loved Indian design aesthetics.

It was fun simplifying those in these characters.

 I actually did it twice. The first attempt was to "cartoon-y" for a live action show.

So, I altered the characters on the second attempt.

 They are more "Live-action" but still showed kid-friendly costumes.

I definitely did more than what I was asked... that's how much fun I was having with it!

     Hopefully, I'll get another opportunity to get to do it for real. Or I'll just make my own children's book with these characters.

What do you think?

Nature of Nature #2

     Finally got this done for on time for this weekend's MoCCA Fest! The second issue of Nature of Nature. YEYS.

I can't wait to debut this. I had to put it off for awhile but its finally done!

     But like most risograph prints, the registration are not perfect. But that adds to the look of it. If you can't make the Fest, they are also available through my online store!

     Technically, both Nature of Nature's, will debut on this fest. Hmmm... should start thinking about Issue #3.

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.
