New books

So, I've been busy for a while. Which is why I haven't been posting in a while but I feel it's time I posted something.

I went to the bookstore the other day and picked up some interesting books that I feel has good comic artwork.

First one is Vampi: Switchblade Kiss. The art is by Kevin Lau and I like the style, I feel it hasn't been done in many comics so it feels unique, also the poses that the characters have are strong and exciting.

Second is Fathom Kiani, the illustrations by Marcus To are beautiful and the character designs are interesting and fresh to look at.

I also bought the art of Marc Silvertri. He drew a lot of Top Cow comics like Witchblade, and I must say this book is a real must-have. The art is amazing and his sketch work has a lot to show. It's great to have. The last book is another art book by Steve Fastner and Rich Larson; it has interestinf fantasy art and good poses.

DeviantART

So I made a Deviant Art Account. Some of the pictures there are the same as here and some are new. Check it out here: http://darthmoose.deviantart.com/

Sketchy Horse

Here is a horse animation I made during the weekend. I wanted to work more on four-legged walk cycles, so why not a horse? Of course!

More animation

Here is an animation exercise I did some time back that I decided to post up now. Just a simple exercise to show shaking.

SVA Dustys '09

I just went to my college's festival for student films and I had to say it was fun, especially seeing what everyone else had to show. All that's left now is graduation and senior week!

For a full showcase of the films with the names of the animators that were shown go here: http://www.sva.edu/dusty/may_7.html

Congratulations to everyone!

ASIFA East Festival

On May 3rd I went to check out the 40th Annual ASIFA East festival. It was a lot of fun and I met a lot of talented artists. I had a good time and I am planning to go to the panel meeting tonight at SVA.
Aside from this I have still been busy finishing up school and now it is time for job hunting. Of course I will continue to work on my own art as well, so stay tuned!

College Thesis

I was busy all year thinking of a thesis and then finally working on it. I finished and just added it to youtube last week. I'm happy it's done.

More Fine Art

Here is a video showing some paintings and pencil drawings of nude models that I drew.

A Few Sketches

These are some sketches I made in the past few days. The Girl is a character I'm kinda working on, I drew her in the past, I may post the other picture of her later.

Some Animation

Hello again, I think it's time to show some animations I've done. You can view them here at my youtube account: http://www.youtube.com/MediaMoose
Or you can see them here. Either way is fine. Just that sometimes I tend to put my newest animations up in my youtube account first. Anyway here is a quick look at some of my Animations.

Picasso VS Van Gogh

This is a story about Picasso and Van Gogh fighting to the death! This was a school project where I had to somehow make two different artists meet each other and make a storyboard out of it. Might as well make something whacky.

The Fine Arts

Alright, here are some more figure drawings I did. I used different media to make these; Pencils and Charcoal. There's some more anatomy drawings in there too.

Anatomy - The Human Body

Here's some anatomy work that I've done. I drew the skeleton, then the muscles and then at the top the final form. It was pretty cool to see the evolution of the human body as it changed from one form to another to make up the body itself. This is pencil work.

The World

For a project I had to make another ink poster. I decided on this one to base it off of the album "A Brave New World" by Iron Maiden. This was just a school project, I didn't receive any money or nothing for this seeing how I based it off actual material. So with that out of the way I use heavy markers and inks to get this done. I wanted to show the heat of the earth which is why it's all in crazy colors. I liked the way it came out, check it out.

Wild Monster

This is a monster I drew. He was going to be a robot originally but when I was done he ended up being this wild monster so I left it this way, it's not like robots are my theme or anything but I just felt like drawing another one. I was inspired by this old toy I found under my bed when I was moving. All that remained from it was its mouth so I just went with that and made this guy.

Redesigns

These are two redesigns of the robot Testament. To your left was my first attempt, which was revised to the one on the right which is the final one. I liked my very first idea better, these two look like a Jedi but, eh, I'm not the one in charge. Enjoy.

Requests!

I do requests from friends and people I know for fun. Here are some that I did.
















To your left is Kanjotah, the cerulean samurai! I drew him for another friend of mine that is currently using the design as a base for a video game project he is working on. To your right is a guy I dubbed "Alpha". He was a request from another friend who drew this futuristic beast-like warrior but wanted a male version of her, so, I made Alpha.

Ordinary Humans...

After all my crazy drawings of robots and ninjas and such I decided to make a post to kind of balance things out. These are designs of characters who control some of the robots.


Here are two designs of Felix, the controller of Elyon, a robot I didn't post yet. The game was supposed to take place in a school and the character was supposed to be nerdy. My first design is to the left, but then after some revisions, I changed it to the one on the right, the final design.


















This here is Simon, he's the controller of Star. Simon is a crazy kid with an out of control personality and films everything he sees to be a part of his home-made films of action packed adventure! I'm currently working on a redesign.















Every hyper-active crazy person needs a partner in crime. But, Mel is the complete opposite of Simon. She is very timid, quiet and shy and doesn't own her own robot. However she can turn into a cat if that makes up for it.. anyway the design to the left was my first attempt at her and I thought it was showing too much so I redesigned her to what I thought fit her personality more. So, the one to the right is the newest design and possibly the final one until inking and coloring.
















This is Vanessa, the popular chick. She is a villain in the fighting game and uses another flashy robot fighter which I hate to say I didn't design yet.
