Long Live the King... of the Monsters!!!

Well everyone remembers my 1st sketch of Godzilla vs. King Kong in Hong Kong. Then since it got so many "likes" on facebook that I made another sketch with them along with a library of Toho monsters. Well it's time I finally end this battle between Godzilla "The King of the Monsters" and the original "8th Wonder of the World" King Kong.The Battle ends in New York City And the Winner is.....
Godzilla!!! I based this off the Perseus sculpture in Florence at the Piazza Del' Signore. Instead of a sword I gave Godzilla the top of the Empire State Building.

LOVE, Jennifer Style!

Hi everyone,

So tonight I got to meet Jennifer Love Hewitt. A beautiful talented celebrity i felt like I kind of grew up with.

She was signing her new book The Day I Shot Cupid at Barnes & Noble. I got their early so I was able to get a pass to the Q&A into the signing. Now when I purchased the book I had to deal with this whiny little British twit give us all these strict ultimatums about the signing and how if we sneak a pic to get autographed other than the book they would go all "Bad Cop" on us. Anyways getting the autograph wasn't the highlight of my night.

Last week I worked real hard into making her a sketch. Yes I like to make my favorite females into Botticelli's Venus.


Unfortunately the little twit said whatever gifts to give Jennifer are not aloud to be given to her and they will be given to a staff member that will supposedly be given to her. Well I was gonna try every attempt to give her the sketch so she can see it. So how we were seated at the Q&A my part of the line was put into this corner which she happened to pass I just quickly pulled out the sketch and said "This is for you" She said Thank you and said I would love ot look at this but my eyes are little blind from the cameras and paparazzi. It was awesome!

Dead or Alive: To the Xtreme

Hey everyone. Ever since buying Dead Or Alive: Xtreme 2 for X-Box 360 last year I became a fan and started to admire the characters. Especially the lovely platinum British Assassin Christie (see 2nd to last post).

Then DOA4 and the movie followed into my collection.

I've been wanting to draw Christie and the others for a while now and I finally did.
I bought a set of 36 Prismacolor pencils. As you noticed most of my sketches I use a color shade over most of my sketches so I figured why not use the best colored pencils. However it got to the point I just want to fully render my figures.

Anyways I made this sketch while waiting in anticipation for DOA Paradise on PSP. Finally a portable DOA game.

My Sketchy Valentine

Well today was Valentine's Day and would you know it I'm single again. So instead of sitting in my pjs playing Video Games I decided to go to Craig Yoe's Artist & Models drawing session to take my mind off it and help me focus on my project. Yeah I know it's a long commute from Staten Island to Peekskill but it was well worth it.

Red Sonja eat your heart out!!
Okay so there was no bloody head. The model had a wooden sword and a mardi gras mask so i tried to make it a little of my imagination. Just like when I added the cigar in the last post.

Yoe, Check these Sketches out!

Went to Craig Yoe's drawing session in Peekskill, NY for the first time. For once I was in a class I was guaranteed a great looking model.... in such a long time. And there wasn't too many damn 1 minute poses and more long poses which made it worth while.

I uploaded this one short pose pic cause Amy the model was posed in front of a mirror and I had tried to put her reflection in within the 5 minute time span.

20 Minute Sketch
Doing this 25 minute reclining pose was more than enough time for me and I actually felt relaxed not worrying about time.

Mine and everybody's favorite sketch... that I did today. Once I finished the the sketch i decide to have fun with by throwing the cigar and replace the dangling earrings with hoops. Well thing was when i made the sketch she reminded me of one of my favorite video game characters of British Assassin, Christie

from the DOA: Dead or Alive series.

Out of the Inkwell... onto the Bristol...with Prismacolor.

Everyone remembers this classic sketch.

Well here is the continuation to that sketch and Popeye has made his decision. I made the sketch for my girlfriend. This time i colored it with Prismacolor markers instead of Photoshop.

Avatar

I was mesmerized by the Avatar movie.

I was so into the story I feel it stole from the effects.
It was definitely a movie where you rooted against the humans, which wasn't a first. I always rooted for Godzilla in all his movie, and the Killer Whale in Orca (except when he bit off Bo Derek's leg... that was just wrong)
It's obvious that Neyriti is my favorite character. One thing I liked about drawing her was that the Na'vi's anatomy is a bit elongated that I didn't have to worry to much with making it precise.
