Today's Doodles

This week's sketch

This has been a very very busy week in the studio, but today I had a little space to do a small 15min sketch! :)

Sketching

Today wasn't the best day ever... but I had an opportunity to draw some doodles :)

Work in Progress

The next character I want to develop, is the brave warrior, so I've started this illustration (applying what I learnt with the disney study I did last day) this is how is getting by its first day of work!

today's practice & an illustrated flyer for my band

Today was a free day at the office. I had to do a flyer for my band's upcoming show and I went creative.
Also, I started to study Disney's way of colour, not bad for the first try, hope to learn something...

Fourth Entry: Cosmic Girl

I forgot to upload the fourth entry. One of my favorites so far. It is supposed to be a classic NES videogame published and developed by Gamesbourg in late 1989.

Music makes her smile

This is the sixth entry for the challenge.
I worked much more time on this one, also, I had a lot work to do so it took me 3 days to finish it. (Not complete days)
Hope you like her, she's soo happy listening her favorite song from  Rockpaper Scissors: "Heat of my Heart" you can listen to it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dVFsjaez78

The Golden Colossus

This is the fifth entry for my own challenge: "create 20 characters and work on them deeply" but this one ain't finished.

The problem is that, at the beginning the challenge was "one entry per day" and each one became more complex as I worked. "The golden colossus" is supposed to be a bigger project, a complete story line with a lot of characters. But for now I only did this unfinished concept.

Hope you like it!

Mc Goblin & Ogre Jr: Spooky Tales Where Bad Guys Always Win vol.1

The third one is a book cover.
I don't know why I imagined that the ogre was the main character of a tale where bad guys always win.
Mc Goblin is the leader of the party.

Warmheart

The second character was a lil' bit more difficult to develop, since I didn't like her the first time I drew her. But after a few minutes of thinking, I realized it could be a sad story about a blind girl and her cat living in a ghost town. The problem is that the girl doesn't know anything about her loneliness, so the cat works hard everyday to make her think the town is full of people.

Rescuing Blackbird

After finishing 20 original characters, I've put myself another challenge: to develop each character more deeply. Here's the first one I did, "Rescuing Blackbird" it's supposed to be an iOS endless runner with 3 different characters.

20 characters in 1 day Challenge

I challenged myself to do 20 original characters in one single day. For pro artists, this may sound easy, but it was a complete challenge for me, after the 15th character I didn't know what to do!
Going from a bird sensei to a caricature of myself, the only thing I could say is: "This was good" I've paused my drawing a long long time because I was working on a project in gameloft where I was designing UI, so I didn't have enough time to practice what I really love: drawing.
This was refreshing!
Hope you like these characters...

Mustaches and Sketches

VHALIO: The iBook Project

Since a couple of years ago I had the idea of making a story for children. Back in university I've started to develop the idea by the codename VHALIO, but after a few months it ended to be the main character's name. It started as a project for an animated feature, but, being realistic, i've decided to make a less impossible thing, so I tried to do an online comic, but I have failed in the try. After more than a year I have retaken this project and decided to do an illustrated iBook, you know is easier and i'll work each free time i have. Here are some concepts of the main characters...

Rehendêre Direwolf of Snow Lands

yeah, it is a Rehendêre... don't ask me where the name came from, i just have been told of it many years ago.
It's supposed to live in the High Snow Lands of Rehendêre, where blood is the only thing warmer.

Water Dragon Treasure

Here is another concept. This one's just for practicing, hope you like it!

Tear Of Life

Guess what? i found a copy of the archive in my hard drive, so i finished it, not as i wanted a few weeks ago, but i wanted to finish what took me so long to draw, so here it is :)

Space Girl Concept

This Girl is part of the concept art practicing i'm doing at the office, hope you like it

Space Creature Concept

I did this one, just for practice :)

Tear Of Life WIP

This one was an ambicious project i had in mind, i wanted to take screens of every step of the process, for the end make some kind of tutorial for noobies.
But i did this one at the office, and, working on other thing, i erased the PSD by accident and the only thing left was the screens... in jpg... that was sad, but i wanted to share this work anyway.
