WHOAAA!!!!


I’m imitating Ramon Zamora the Bruce Lee of the Philippines. I’m in my own world during those times. I used to watch lot’s of Kung Fu movies specially Jackie Chan’s early movies that were produced in Hong Kong. I bought myself plastic chucks so that if I accidentally hit myself it’s not going to hurt. I’ll be visiting my family in the Philippines for a month. I’m sure the trip will bring back lots of childhood memories.

SHAQ-A-DOODLE


Did this doodle while watching the Suns and the Spurs' game 5 of the play off series. Since the matrix left, the Suns were no longer a high octane run and gun fast breaking team. Suns lost 'again'! Oh well, good job Suns, see ya’ll next year! Here’s Shaq-a-doodle! What happened? Bill Simmos says: HERE.

Darna


Hope you like this one. I was so busy but can't resist to finish this for Artjumble.

Darna is a very famous fictional character in the Philippines. Created by Mars Ravelo back in the 50's. She is truly an icon. Over the years Darna has appeared in about 14 or more films portrayed by prominent actresses of Philippine movies.

Shokoy


I posted this on ArtJumble. It’s my first time to use pen tablet to render a character. I only use it to render backgrounds. I struggled at first because the one I used is so small, I think it’s
3”x 4”. I got the hang of it later on. In the Philippines we call this creature “Shokoy”. Usually it’s half man (body) half fish (head). But, this one is a little different.

Dragon


I was about to post this on AJ but didn’t finish it on time. I had a couple of sketches and I decided to go for this one. I didn’t vectorize the lines so it's sketchy. Thought of posting it black and white but decided to color it. Then, I tried to put some textures. I will keep the PSD file of this maybe I can find time to put some cool shadings and textures on it.

Pirates Of Darkwater


Ioz and Niddler are two of the main characters of Pirates of Darkwater. I did this TV series back in the 90's while working for Hanna Barbera in the Philippines. This was the show assigned to us 9th batch trainees at Fil Cartoons. It's a tough show especially when you are just entering into the world of animation. The character design with all those details will kill you especially when you are in a quota system. Later on we understood why our trainors gave the show to us. It improved our skills and boosted our confidence. So, thanks Angie, Ochie and Nary!

Elephant


Pencil rocks. With all the available technologies out there pencil is still my favorite medium. Did this using HB Staedtler pencil.

Vlad and Sofie

Green...


Uhh...NO! Green is not my favorite color. I think I did 4 different versions of this one. I played with photoshop and messed around with brush and styles just to have a background. Turned out nice.

Print


I made this t shirt design for our church's family camp. CLIMB -Christian Living In Might and Boldness. The climber represents christians, the rope (not so visible) represents God, rock represents obstacles in life and the graphics at the bottom left represents hell. I was so inspired while doing this one.

My first post


So, I have to post something to get this thing started. I went through my files and found this illustration I did about 7 years ago. I adjusted the saturation to kinda match the backgrounds. It brought back memories. I remember drawing this in my cube at Fox Animation Studios while inbetween projects. I missed the free snacks and the Kenny Rogers chicken every Saturdays. Not the pizza though.
