Superhero Concept: Dagger and Chain



Me as Dagger

A parody of ADSF by Tom Ska. Not really that creative XD.

Chain my sidekick.

As usual, I keep having no ideas I want to really run off of. Especially Superheros, since there are endless possibilities of what I wanted to do.  I ended up with having super heros who  have weapons coming out of their body parts, because it just keept running through my head. This concept comes all the way back to House of heroes concert, where I got marked with a cross on Top. It looked like a dagger, so I really imagined a super hero with those things. I was planning to use dagger actually as a punk wannabie with a long spike mowhawk hair, but since it has to me a bit of me, I did me as a design instead.

For Chain, I just imagine him as a crazy kid kind of like melo from Korra Avatar.  I feel it just complements my character.Don't trust a crazy kid with a chain.

And don't worry, the chains and daggers can be retractable. The thing where it comes from is a deep portal from somewhere. Who knows where. 

Im planning to actually put dagger and chain together in one photoshop file. Kind of like this naruto picture, only  it needs some speed lines in the background. And using the primary colors.
Update. A slight rought I what Im thinking of doing here:

NorCal Renaissance Faire 2012

The next day, I didn't want to go to APE, and I already got my tickets for
Northern Cal Renaissance Faire
Its the last day to go to this, and what better way to go, then to dress as Fi, with my Freind who was Link from Legend of Zelda. My friend from church was also there, whose name is George Davis. He used to work at the Archery Booth.

After all that, I find that I was having alot more fun at the Fair, then APE, just because my cold really dryed out, but still wasn't completely gone. Im still coughing here D. But there just soo many activities and fun things to do, and alot of thing that were really active, that no other fair seem to have. The actors are not kept on Stage, but everywhere. You had to stay Renaissance for the whole day. Also, its more legal for adults to act like children here. Its like an anime convention for adults, and the whole familly.

I also got some videos from this and APE on my Youtube page, when I get to finish editing the stuff I need.
That is my friend Trisha who is also known as Ratgirl. She owns Ratgirl productions, where she does comics, cartooning, etc. Also she is in BAAU, and shes also the main founder for an Idea convention F.A.M.E.  Im in the middle, and that is my friend on the right.

I think my friend took this one...
Link is playing his cross bow game. Funny. He did better then me I think.
A Pirate was wearing this. They just had to as a gamer. Alot of them are right,, Geek and Renaissance really go well together.

This guy is just too funny. He made a nipple erection joke for some reason.  He is also a very good juggler.
He is refilling his hearts for lunch. It got a bit warmer with our suits on. A heart needs his heart.
Where all the feathers came from...
The baby and the wizard

Pretty much a Blubbery Pirate Tarred with Feathers.



Dreams do come true. Ive been wanting to try some archery and here I go. I think  I got two bulleyes, 2 blues, and two reds. Its pretty fun, but its really hard to pull the bow. Luckly it doesn't hurt toomuch to pull because of my glove like suits. Fi is getting Dangerous.

APE 2012


Just some photo Highlights of APE (Alternative Press Expo)\ from my point of view:
My Drawings At the Grove, which mistakenly I though Sketchbomb was this morning. It was due to mistakes on the website. One said am, and one said PM. Though, I did some sketches anyway. This is not the finish stuff.
I was still sick, but not terrible. Walking Around APE really helped. This was during Sketchcrawl at APE. So, double extra credit plz? Im also Noodle from the Gorillaz, and the Reason was I wanted to dress a bit light to at least sketch more then just pen and pencil.

Duck Push Pins are awsome and a genious idea. Then again, alot of people might want to steal those.
She (I forgot her name again) was demoing her water color techniques, and her art is very unique and colorful. She  pretty much defeats every artist  I know not to have a clean pallet. She barely changes her water, and she works on a tiny tray. She seems to paints with in the simular way I do with acrylics. At least her art is unique and she knows what she is doing.
Her finish product. It still looks pretty amazing, what she did, with simple and fast techniques. I believe she uses a pen that is at least water proff  or else it could bleed.

Comic about Skittles

Original Quality scanned
After 3 rescans into phtoshop.

Phew, Got alot to update by this week from my sketchbook. But anyways, Here is my comic that I whipped up really quickly for our assignment. I don't know If I would love to enter this one, but at least it looks more finished. I basically had to lighten the picture with photoshop and then recolor and retrace everything. I pretty much could not get an exact idea of what I wanted to do. It wasn't easy, because most of my old characters are ment for longer series. I completely made up the characters on the spot, except all the bottom ones.

Text Avery Style Drawings

]

Wow messy drawings. Alot of them became a bit anime based on accident, but still I tried to do Tex Avery. One piece especially was a good source of inspiration. Never I seen such exaggeration in anime close to American Cartoons then the clever Oda himself.

Charlie Brown Self Portrait

Im adorable

Zombie Mae

Zombie Me (various)
For a contest long before this class. 

Ok, basically I just used alot of references for the stuff and no, I barely used actual zombie references. I just used me, and some anatomy references. I just took the stuff of what a zombies looks like, enviroments they live in. Stuff like "rotting corspe, old wrinkly man, annorexic, scary, etc. I just somehow have a twisted mind like that.

The second one is not from this class, but something I did for a contest long ago. All I did was use my pose and really took it to a new level. I did only the sprite and the character design, and nothing else.

Some songs I listened to that helped while making the zombie stuff.

Political Cartooning

Mitt Romney Gangnam Style
Angry John Mccain



    Just because I can. I took a bit of Psy's fetures and implanted into Mitt romney, because that how the Gifs roll. One part of Psy  personality is he has that small lip. So I took that and Gave Mit that small lip (He has a pretty small nose and lip.) McCAin, I just sort of found a really angry photo of him on Google search.

Character 1920s

Redesign of Scott pilgrim and first face for Character Assignment
Me in the 1920s
Main Inspiration for 1920s character: Pokemon in the 1920s
I enjoyed this assignment today. For the 1920s character, I was really into the pose and every thing. Today's  1920s cartoons in class was fun and made me smiled. I might do more 1920s stuff, and I might have ta anyway.
The characture of the face was a combo between the first one, and the Scott Pilgrim Style.

Homework: Draw yourself 8 times Differently


2nd
1st

Photo reference taken with Android on Instagram
Ok so, my scanner has no room for the photos, so it got cut off. And no I don't want to do it one by one. The sketchbook looks better anyway. I didn't get to use the red pencil, as I was doing these quick in two steps instead of 3.

I had fun though. Experimenting with styles and such. XD.

When Im 94...

Grandma Rockstar/Artist with a Removable Head
I though of the head thing really from Futurama, and it was sort of suprising alot of people jump the Futurama bandwagon in class today. Im not a fan really, but I like the detachable head idea. and I though of a mecha too, with all the qualities of rock star and art or my qualities. I also derived  inspiration from Mr. Freeze, alot concept art work, and How to draw Mecha manga book. I was thinking a bigger body, but I couldn't do it properly.

Photo references

Just some references for me drawing when I'm 90. I'll NEVER AGE!

August 23 Practice




Just some stuff from August 23 class. I drew poiyo for practicing with my new waterbrush, and drawing with references. It feels like figure drawing again. Gahh, I feel so rusty.

WIP Penciling

Spiderman Pencils
Ok, so I didn't fit the time to color this thing by class time but I go to a point where the line art looks like something. I used a ton of muscle references and intestine references for this baby I didn't care too much about proportion. Alot also changed from the thumb nail. I want to make it somewhat human in a way.

Ill color this later desu.

Drawing Monster/Nightmare: Creepy Spiderman

Thumbsketch of Creepy Spiderman


Ill draw it cleaner and more detailed when I use my bigger sketch book. Im planning it to be a bit hyperealistic, but then again, its animation. May leave some line art in there.

For first assignment in animation class: Drawing your worst nightmare or draw a monster.

I combined my fears of tentacles/tongues/anything in multiples that can wind someone up and defenseless, spiders (especially an army of baby spiders or a ton of creepy small armies), and human mutations that still look human. I don't per say fear these, but they do creep me out.

Some artistic inspirations: The Thing, Devil May Cry, and the Hyper Realistic Sculpture: Patricia Piccini.
