Hey guys, been a long time once again! Just letting those following this blog know that I have updated the "artwork" gallery with a new lightbox html so now it'll be easier to view the images and easier for me to upload them.

Peace out!

Merry Christmas from RotAngel!

Site re-design!

Hey guys, if anyone has been still following this blog you may have noticed a huge change by now. This is mostly because I am using this blogger for a temporary portfolio website until I can afford to get a space for my stuff on my own. Blogger has changed so much since the last time I have used! I really wish I can make posts on the other pages but from what it seems that it's pretty impossible if not very difficult. Oh, well, hopefully demands to change that will eventually convince the creators to make that possible =)

"Taal's a Pest" Side Character Concept sketches

Sketches I done for my story “Taal’s a Pest”. Since I got the concepts uploaded and completed for the 3 main characters, I have been working on the side characters. These are only a few as there will be many more to come. The setting, obviously, is in Australia. These guys here are nameless for now.

Playing cards

Been a WHILE since I uploaded anything here! Felt a little neglected here since nearly everyone moved to tumblr -__- BUT I promised that I was still going to post here so here we go.

I have started this waaaay back in February before drama took place.
For those who don't know this is my character Mr. Haha as his young and older self. You can learn more about him here: http://astrozerk04.deviantart.com/gallery/3485844#/d176hry

Some preview sketches

Been neglecting my dinos so here are two drawings of them. They will be colored and what-not. Maybe.

Rotangel Character refs

Finally moving forward with my comic's concept designing and development. Been busy working 2 jobs (both involving art, yay me!) and freelancing so personal art has been pretty scarce. The Snow break we had helped me get back in gear.

So I'm working on some refs for my main characters, I know professionally, refsheets for characters don't need to be graphically flashy since the character is the main focus, however, I figured why not. I wasn't supposed to have upbeat music on a demo reel and it made it through with an award so I'll continue stretching the 'rules' ;)

First up is Jase. I did his first since honestly he is the easiest

The surfboard designs aren't finished yet since those are of his summons and I have not final designed them yet. They will be updated soon. as well as Diego and Jennifer. The other side-main characters are getting refs but they will not be as flashy as the main ones.

Jennifer was a bit of a challenge! The main challenge was that I have been very rusty with drawing women faces in general and the other challenge was changing her from Caucasian to Korean. It took looking up actual Korean women and eventually looking at Mulan to get her final look at least somewhat Asian. Many months working on that to the point she was slowing me down on character development. I'm so happy to get her out of the way.

Coming up is Diego which is going to be a while considering he is the main character. Hopefully if I get everything done, concepts, story, website (personal and comic), I'll be able to copyright these guys (later trademark them...but that's later since it's so expensive!).

RotAngel character expressions

I've been doing some expressions for my characters of RotAngel to not only show what they would look like when making various expressions but to also practice getting used to drawing their faces. I figured not to name what each face is doing since you should be able to tell what expression they are making.

First off I started with Diego, he is the main character and I think he would be interesting to practice first since he lacks some features such as lips. I did cheat and use my artistic license and give him the appearance of eyelids and movable brows.

Next up is Jase Rivers. A pro surfer and Diego's partner. He's a pretty goofy big guy so making his expressions what pretty fun.

Jennifer Yun, also Diego's partner and best childhood friend of Jase. She's very athletic and in fact she is the only girl who played in the football team of her college. Jennifer was the toughest to make expressions for since I have been drawing males more than females lately, so coming up with hers was a very long process. I ended up drawing all her expressions without her hair so I could get it done quickly and more easily without her hair being too much of a distraction. Even through all this she still has the most.

'Not a Happy Camper'

Same idea as the 'aliens don't wear clothes' but now with my predator fan character. I didn't think a predator would be as detailed to work with as an alien...I learned the hard way but I am very happy with the results.

Here's a detailed shot.

'Aliens Don't Wear Clothes'

I had made an alien/ xenomorph fan character a while back, and to make fun of my self I decided what would a realistic looking alien look if it looked like the fan character I made.

Silly huh?

Few characters in process

The Escape

Another character of mine ripping his way out of an asylum.

Hunter of the Bayou

Hunter from Left 4 Dead 2. This took a bit. Hope it's not too dark cause what's light on my screen I noticed might be very dark on a majority of other computer screens.

The hunter was done in Sai but the background was done in photoshop.

Battle Resurrected

Two of my characters battling

Decaying torture

DIEGO! Um, with a bit of flesh. Lemme explain. This is all the doing of a character character of mine, Dubrashka, her master wanted her to capture Deigo to extract energy from him for power. Now see as a powerful necromancer Diego sacrificed his flesh to save his people and to get the power to take out Nidhogg (who later becomes his summon after his revival). Dubrashka was able to use a magic to reverse the results of his power gain and extract some of it. As a result his flesh returns slowly and VERY painfully back to him. Think of having skin and flesh ripped off you but in reverse. Since technically he is undead he doesn't die from just the flesh returning but once his energy powers are drain he can die. Some one is going to find a loophole in it..dammit it's zombie logic >:

Photoshop and Sai

Character line up

I'm currently developing a story called 'RotAngel'. Here is a line up of my main and support character. I have 2 support characters left to add so this will be updated soon. Diego (lead), Jennifer, and Jase are the main characters, the rest are support.

As like most artists, I like to show off how they have developed over the years. So here is a before and after of these guys.

Gonna Getcha!

Have been stressed out from work but still managed to do some personal art =)

My character Dubrashka done with prisma markers and colored pencil...scanner ate my colors...

Non Smoking Zone

Wanted to try making a fully rendered image in this progam called Sai Paint tool which is REALLY nice and user friendly. I decided to draw the Smoker from Left 4 Dead 2 since it's my favorite special infected and I'm pretty happy with the end results except the background. I'm thinking of starting to do background pieces (cities and architecture) with no characters in them just to get some practice with it cause it's really starting to become a burden on me.

Fan art sketches

Fan art sketches of left 4 dead, predator, and legend of Zelda I did this month.

Sketch dump March 2010
