Local Pinoy illustrator and author Oliver Pulumbarit has a new illustration blog up: Alternatural Art. Features a lot of his old work - circa 1999 - before Photoshop. He must be rather busy doing other things.
In the meantime I’m posting my own illustration of a female squire. I wanted to try out a new sparse hair brush. It worked rather well.
The underwater cables that connect the Philippine internet service providers to the Internet have been undergoing repair since the 7.1 earthquake hit Taiwan. Internet service is intermittent. Email still gets in & out, but most websites (including Google) are almost impossible to load up due to bandwidth congestion going through auxiliary cables.
I’m able to blog about it though.
Hail to the one and only God & King. Hahaha! I only realized this now after finishing the illustration!
Merry CHRISTmas!!! And a Happy Happy New Year 2007.
Did this quick illustration for all my friends and relatives. May your season be as gay as… uhm… hahahahah!!!
This year has been a big year of change for my family, but for me personally? I feel I could have achieved more for myself!
At the start of the year and during the course of the year I saw a total of 3 rainbows. I took them all a sign of hope: that the amazing plans for me have yet to unfold. 3 is a nice number, one for each of us kids in the family.
Looking forward to more posts next year! Subscribe to my blog today!
Mr. Lico hasn’t been updating his 50-Peso Ninja comic at Drunk Duck since November 2006. Is it the end of the 50-Peso Ninja? Has he fallen into shadow?
You know there are a lot of independent comic book titles that just stop production. Just like that. Without a clear ending. (Though I’m not saying YET that 50-Peso Ninja has stopped.)
So this gives me an idea. I will create creature or character that will kill off independent comic book personalities who would prefer to quietly fade away. That’ll should keep some creators on their toes. Bwahahaha!
My initial idea for this concept art got altered into something slightly different, but the mood remains intact. This piece was meant to be a sewer scene. But my initial gut reaction (and it came very early in the artwork) was that the sewer would be too cramped to feature a menacing otherworldly creature. Likewise the upper right part of the scene would be rather empty.
Ah… the movies we may never make.
There’s this Pastor Nathan guy and he looks real… well… hot! Yes pastors can look hot. Look him up at Full Armour. If you don’t mind the interface too much, you can appreciate the character designing that went on in the Four Winds Saga comic. This is done by Nikki J, another friend of mine in Comicspace. Friends are TOO easy to get in Comicspace!
I hope this encourages you, Nikki!!
To all the comic book fans and artists out there! Here’s one for you! Merry Christmas!
I thought “Help” … then I thought “Superman”..
then what? Christmas, it’s the season, of course. Candy. Kryptonite bonbons!! Tooth decay!!!
Were you expecting Superman just helping someone?
Actually I’ve been experimenting with this cleaner more animated style - using a digitally done “open-line” style of inking:
Now Dwight likes to network. He’s got over 2000 friends on Comicspace.com! I just joined recently, and thought it’d be nice to send something his way.
