Dragonballs and Vikings

dragonball self-portrait. because flying nimbus is rad. and akira toriyama changed my life.  :]
finally got around to finishing this one - started it up 11/29/2011.  process in gif format this time instead - any process junkies out there have any opinion on gifs vs multiple still images they can flip back and forth from???  still can decide what i like better...  i'd rather just have people give me their psd files so i can dissect em myself ;)

oh.  also another one real quick i forgot to put up on blogger.  enter: Parasite Viking!

this started out as a drawing game 2 years ago  (where you just take turns drawing one thing onto a silhouette) between me and my wife (back when she was in girlfriend form.)
to try and keep up with the tradition of the first christmas present i gave her, i thought i’d paint this…   also finally got around to finishing it :]


later!

more things i did

so...  the titles i'm coming up with for these blog posts keep getting more and more creative...  i'm okay with that.. heh. 

anyway.  finals are done, and it's time to take a break kind of.  been painting a lot, and i think it's finally starting to show.  random sketches and maybe a sneak peak of some mariachi-dachi character designs on the way.  soon as 2012 hits, gotta start cranking on that project...  estimated (what's left of) existing social interaction should drop by a large percentage.  finished comic book = i graduate from school.  who woulda thought... 

here's some stuff i did this semester..  starting with my two favorite plein air gouache paintings for some class..

 

 

 

really had fun with this last one..  when back to my dragonball roots a little - felt really good.  wouldn't take much to turn that giant into krillin.
