'Till They Hear Me Out Cover

Woah baby! it's been a reeeeaaaal long time since I actually put some real "fresh" art on here!
...and for that I do apologize, dear pixels.
So here she is! Wahlah! I was asked by one of my students to make a picture for one of her short stories.
I was more than honored to do it for her...plus her story was really good!
I had her give me what she had in mind and I just sort'a stuck to that original idea (cuz it was good, duh)
This one's on the house, 'Ley!

The Christ

An experiment with the Mixer Brush Tool in CS5.
I was in a drunk and sullen mood... hence the the subject.
Came out nice though. I put the finishing touches on it last night (BG, Color adjustment)

Beware the Sssassin!

Hamms + The Inspector = this! God, I just love those old 60's cartoons!
The art was so unique and flirted with the abstract.
They backgrounds are gorgeous as well.
Funny as shit too! Anyways, heres my attempt to mimic/Homage the BG and style! Cheers!

Tigor With Guns

Title says it it all! It's everyone's favorite indomitable super mutant, Tigor!
Definitely one of my most cherished characters that my brother originally created as a child!
Look how he's grown.... awww, meeeemooorieeees!

Bandtio

After finishing up Herman, I got drunk off Tequila and starting pinning for the mother land. So I painted a sketch of a bandito I had laying around. Came out pretty damn good. Or as They say in Aguas' "¡Es muy chingon!"

Herman the Ghoul

Zsolt's younger brother Herman! (this one came out waaay better then Zsolt, wtf?)

Zsolt the Ghoul

Vodka para todos los revolucionarios!

Cartoon Me

Oh how self centered I is...
 and yes, he's supposed to be armless.
I wasn't being lazy (this time) I just sorta wanted that "bust" look...
Plus you aren't supposed to see past his sleeves, he's my avatar for sites that need a profile.
Like this one, for instance

Anyways, haven't worked much on that music video thing... need to do more work, pronto!
Right on!

When to know that you've become a fat slob...

When you have to start "rubber banding" your shorts!
Confused? Here's a visual to help you understand my dilemma:



Sad days indeed, tsk tsk tsk.
Well I've started a diet today... hopefully I can loose some pounds by the end of august.
Why August? Because my good buddy Mairio (as I call him) has invited me to tag along with him and his brother to Las Vegas! Nice right?
Don't you be hating, pixels!

Anyways, that's the reason for the weight loss... plus it's always good to loose a couple pounds!
My mother has also joined me in my venture, I'm thinking of making us some wristbands (one for my brother Pedro too who's also been dieting) to help us stay motivated. We'll see.

Oh by the way pixels, I'm gonna be making an animation-ish music video (must keep those creative muscles pumped) to Bob Dylan's The Man In Me.
It'll be similar to one I made a couple a years ago, but thanks to my Cintiq it'll be of much higher quality. So hopefully I can get that actually done!

CHEERS!

Life is like a mold of Jell-O

I totally missed the month of June! How about that?
Well pixels, don't think I was living the high life this whole time... just more petty depression and procrastination. Pretty pitiful really.
I originally started this blog as a way to keep myself busy but... well, easier said then done.
It's easy to blame these emotions and this current venomous condition on my JOB situation or lack there off.
~sigh~
Feels like my life is going nowhere real fast. My birthday was last month pixels, I turned 24, I'm now officially in my mid 20s and still don't have a driver's license, still don't have a job, and still don't have FORM to my shapeless and meaningless life.

Imagine pixels (if you will), my life like a candy apple red colored jello just siting precariously out in the lush summer sun. It [my life] has shape, it has density, it's plump and hearty. But now that unforgiving sun has melted my life into a despicable puddle of red flat liquid. That sugary dull puddle is how I feel right now... and any longer I'm gonna dry up and have my flakes taken away with the wind.


Wow that was grim...
Well, on the bright side though my mother got me a Cintiq for my birthday (plus invited my friends over... cause I didn't feel the need to have them over... oh her!). The Cintiq is something I wanted to buy for many years, It was my dream project, that special item that I would buy when I had earned enough money. My mother though I needed one earlier. Shes too good for me pixels, I love her so much. It really is a great gift and art tool (I still have to get used to seeing it in my room).

So hopefully, I will be posting pieces of art done through the magic of my Cintiq in the future.
Cheers!



(FYI, see that white glove in the left corner of the picture? It's a beauty glove I bought because my fucking left hand is so damn sweaty! Don't laugh!)
