Knex Wolverine Claws

In anticipation for this weeks release of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, I wanted to share my set of Wolverine Claws I made entirely from Knex pieces. I made these the day after I saw the first X-Men movie back in 2000. I saw my brother's knex pieces scattered across the floor and then POW! I had a vision, I could make some bad ass claws with these pieces. I was rather pleased with the outcome, of course if I would ever try to stab someone with these they would immediately explode. Still working on making them fully retractable.

Watchmen: Ozymandias

Heres a drawing I did of Ozymandias from the Watchmen. Saw the movie twice in theaters and was completely blown away. The first time I saw it I had mixed emotions at the end, maybe because I over analyzed it. I then reread the graphic novel and saw it again in IMAX and just let myself go in the experience and thoroughly enjoyed the film, especially Dr. Manhattan's origin sequence. I understand some of the criticisms it received, being too long, awkward sex scene, meh. Didn't bother me one bit. I truly believe this is a film that requires multiple viewings and will be appreciated more over time.

Well since I am currently in the process of updating my personal web site I've decided to upload some old work until the new site is up and running. So here's some characters I've done over the years. 

Sketch

Female sketch I kinda liked. 

Fan Art

You may see me post plenty of fan art especially of comic book characters. Yep, big time comic book nerd right here<----- judge me as you will, but I love the comics. Here's a sketch of the man of steel himself. Funny, I was never really a fan superman until I started watching smallville (yeah laugh) But that show introduced a very interesting take on the origins of superman. Now I think that show needs to end, I want to seem him don the tights and fly at some point!!

Life Drawings

Here's some recent life drawings. For the past year I've been attending figure drawing sessions but have been slacking off these last few weeks. It's great to draw from a live model every now and then but I still feel there is room for vast improvement. I gotta attend more of these...

Vector Art

My first full time gig was at an interactive web design company which gave me the opportunity to work with flash and learn to how to use vector to color my work.
