There will be robot blood!


So it would seem that know that I have some time on my hands, and the world is my oyster. I've finally decided to stop messing around and actually do Manga the way I should have been doing for years now.

This summer, I am planning, (hopefully if work doesn't get in the way) to right a Mini-Manga story featuring the (somewhat) popular characters of mine, Little Red and The Big Bad. I'm planning some pretty action packed stuff as it revolves around an invasion. So get ready for some killer shonen style bad-ass-ness with lots of explosions, lasers, crab bots and of course, speed lines like you wouldn't believe!

In a completely serendipitous occurrence, it would appear that the very talented artist, The Orange One, [link] Is also attempting something similar. She's got some really cool stuff and I suggest you swing over to her page to check it out and lend your support.

As I haven't put a TON of thought into this, I am making it up as I go along (i know, red flag) but the basic synopsis involves a girl with a wrench sword and a mysterious connection to a very advanced piece of Mecha called The Big Bad. She and the Mecha are often contracted by the cities officials to get them out of the more hairy situations when the Steelios invade its borders. The Steelios are an invading army with an unknown leader. What are they after? Well you'll just have to read and find out. =D

So with out further ado. Lets do this thing!

Oh yeah, I am planing on utilizing screen tones so it may be a little slow. Sorry, i know your all excited.

Here is a promo piece i did for it to warm myself up

Funny story behind this piece, it started as just a loose throw away sketch to warm up so it was done an a sorry ass piece of computer paper, the sketch however came out so nice, i just had to finish it though, lol, to bad it will never survive, its haggard already

Graduation



Well, Finally got my degree. Most expensive and time consuming piece of paper I've ever seen. Funny, I don't FEEL any better. Hmmmm, maybe it'll kick in later.

Anyway, I am enjoying my short break thoroughly before I move away from columbus and for the time being, I am doing some artwork just for me. Thats the most important thing, right? Well its good practice anyway.

This is something thats been itching the back of my artistic throat for awhile now. I been meaning to do a series of DarkStalkers paintings, and this is the first wip, so far so good. This is Lilith and Victor for those that are unfamiliar with DarkStalkers, and both belong to Capcom. I think this will come out interesting.
