Doodles

Just messin around late last night.  Decided to try painting without a tight line drawing

This was from a 1 hour sketch-jam session the other night.  The topic was Superman

Masculinity and Comic Con

I  remember when this was supposed to be what a nerd looked like.  This is what Comic Con was supposed to be full of.  

But that's not what I found there.  Oh no.  I realized that any hope I had of clinging to my scraps of self-esteem was delusional.  Never has my masculinity been more threatened than it was at Comic Con. It went something like this:

and they'd be like... 

Man it sucked.  They took time to point out specific things I needed to work on, were full of encouragement, were generous with their time, and they were all unreasonably talented.  I'm very much none of those things.  I assumed that after Comic Con I'd want to go home and really hit the drawing board full of inspiration, but really all I wanted to do afterward was go home and work out.

Courtship

Saw this scene on the way home today on the metro, and it made me laugh. It's January.

   In school I never animated much outside of my classes, mainly because I was never any good at it.  It really is a ton of fun though and I often wish I had the discipline (balls) to actually go through with making a short film.  Anyway this is one of those days where I felt like messing around with animating, and it was mostly because my friend Enrique posted up some of his old animation and I got inspired.

I haven't had much time to do any arting for myself lately, so I aimlessly doodled in photoshop for a couple of hours and this picture of Robin came out. I used the hard edged brush with 0 opacity for most of it, just to try something newish.

It's 2011

Here's a doodle

LOTR studies

Lately I realized I'm getting complacent and so I've been trying to get back into doing studies.
