The Legend of Zelda: Celebrating 25 Years of Link Being a Douchebag

Today is February 21, 2001 exactly 25 years since The Legend of Zelda premiered on the good ole' NES. Thought I'd celebrate with some artwork. Hope you all enjoy. Now go play some Zelda in celebration for this amazing franchise. As for me: I'm gonna go to work. I wish I could make money by cutting down bushes and killing octeroks.

Fishing Inks

Hey, everybody! Guess what? I'm not dead. I've been a bit busy with work and drawing and what not, but I never really had anything I wanted to post. So here's some short story inks I've been working on over the winter. Hope you like. Sorry I've been gone so long. I'm going to try and update more often. Welp I'm off to try to come up with my next story. Brain storm ahoy!

FlapJackz

Okay so I skipped the Pokemon sketch challenge, not that I didn't try. I just wasn't happy with any of my sketches which I might upload for pokes and giggles; who knows. Either way, I jumped to the next sketch challenge: Flapjack; which I believe was last week's sketch challenge. (I'm not lazy, just preoccupied.) This is one of those shows that took me a while to get into, but it's pretty funny. This picture is actually based on one of my favorite episodes of Flapjack and if your a fan of the show you know exactly what I'm talking about. If your not initiated in the Flapjack fandom, try typing in "Gone Wishin", and trust me, you will be.

Super Teen Extraordinaire: Freakazoid, Freakazoid

Sketch challenge power go. Here's another sketch challenge of one of my favorite cartoon characters of all time. Man I'm starting to miss SCAD. I get so preoccupied back home that I can't even finish a drawing in one sitting. Do the laundry, look after grandma, pick up medicine at the pharmacy, bring sister food at work, hey, here's a week of 20 hours overtime, oh and getting about 4 to 5 hours a sleep a night kind of sucks too. Man I'm really jonesing for a new brush right now because I think this drawing could have had some awesome improvement. Once I get some more supplies I'm hoping to ink my face off. So keep in check. Hope you guys enjoy!

Holy crap! Pokemon Challenge? I think I know what my next project is.

Critters and Fun

Well I'm done with college and finally back home once again fending off the temptations of tv, friends and video games in favor of drawing as much as possible. I haven't done much lately as I lack the supplies at the moment, but I'm trying to make due. Recently I've been trying to collect inking references online. In my explorations I discovered an awesome site called comiccrazys.com which has some really old cartoon comics from the 60s and 70s. It's a great site for those who are interested in a more animated style for their artwork.

Anyways, I decided to submit my final project at SCAD. Its the story of a gerbil and a guinea pig who try to escape their cage. The inking's a little wobbly and some of the character construction is off in places, but I'm happy with the final product. Hope you guys enjoy.

Get more of your Cooliente on at Deviant Art.

Hey all, just wanted everyone to know I got a Deviant Art account now. I doubt it will be much different from my blog, but if your a deviant addict than you might as well just check my work out there. I'm slowly putting up work as we speak. Eventually I'll post some of my newer work on both here and my deviant so keep hangin' around. Here's the link below.

Double Whammy Viz 2/ Senior Project Maximum Impact 16 Page Two Week Deadline Stress Inducing Crazyness(aka Surviving Half a Semester of SCAD.

Alright, another quarter at SCAD. Hooray. Here's 16 pages of comics I did in two weeks. Hope you enjoy my suffering. Heh, just kidding. I had some fun with the paperboy comic, but the other one was a hectic rush to the finish line. I took alot of shortcuts using spotted blacks and graphic shapes. My inking also suffered in quality as the speed was getting to me although this is probably what making comics is like in the real world so I should probably get used to it. My professor says this kind of work builds character. I tell ya what it builds: sleep deprivation. I don't think I've pulled off so many all nighters and 4 hour sleep days in my life. Oh well, enjoyz

P.S. Sorry about the lack of word balloons. I do them in Illustrator and put them along side the artwork in Indesign. I'm not sure how to upload that format, but rest assured the stories should read for themselves. If anyone knows how to do that however please comment, I'd love to know.



I left the color out of the paperboy story and only posted my inks . The colors were rushed and chances are they probably would of blinded you. I guess you can tell which part of this business is my weakness.








This whole process is going to be done over again this quarter so you can look forward to another two stories. Goodiliciousness all around.
