Last night I recorded a test drive of Art Rage 2.5 where I painted this little cutie.
I'm really impressed with all the features Art Rage offers at only $25. Not going to replace Photoshop for me, but it's fun to mess with.

It's Raining Rain
My second test strip for Yellow Peril. Worked out a lot of kinks so I think I'm ready to go.
I like the invisible border thing and the shrunken border in panel two. Also going to be using some simple shading. Turns out I color much faster in gray scale than in color.
I also recorded a video of me inking this thing for Monster Cutie so you can check it out if you're interested.

Yellow Peril Test 01
This is my first test strip for my next project. I'm probably going to do a few more of these to work out some kinks (especially the lettering). For once, the coloring took no time at all. Man, I should have done this earlier.
I'm sort of documenting my progress and thoughts about what this all means at the Making of Yellow Peril podcast which is a bit cart-before-the-horsey, but whatever. It's the interwebs!

Amu's World Fanart
I entered the Amu's World fanart contest in celebration of their first full year online. Had a lot of fun doing the bunny. Gonna try to throw some color on there when I have more time.

Shenami Cutie
Here's the final toy design that I submitted to Patchtogether. His hat comes off as another monster that flies around and his arms are removable so you can do your own tattoo design. He needs your votes!

Shenami Tattoo
While I wait for approval, here's the tattoo that will go on the cutie little monster's arm. Clearly inspired by Hokusai's waves.

Psyche's Chest Piece
A more detailed study of a possible chest tattoo for Psyche. As a jilted lover, I think the Hanya mask theme works well.
Psyche's Side Piece
Tattoo design for Psyche's side and chest pieces inspired by a lot of Japanese imagery.

Psyche
My take on Cupid's ex-wife, Psyche. Okay, so in the myth they kind of live happily ever after depending on the version. But in my version, she divorces him. I really like the wave tattoo on her right side. Gonna have to spend some time really designing that.
Dee Dee
More studies of Cupid, Elite Tactical Love Commando and DeeDee, my version of Aphrodite. Cupid's shirt has a cute monkey, Luv Mun, that will make the same expression as he is. I think.
I was going to do more studies of DeeDee, but I really love her aloof expression.
Cupid, Elite Tactical Love Commando
One of the many crazy ideas I've been kicking around on the subway. These are some pretty horrible character studies for a crazy, Shonen-style take on Cupid. See, instead of using arrows to make people fall in love, he kinda just chucks them at each other. Love can be messy and painful. Whubam!

Cutie Tattoo WIP
Clearly, the cutie has yet to get inked. But this is a design I'm working on that I'm hoping to submit to Patch Together. Ideally, his arms would move and the hat would come off to be its own monster. All that's left is to design the tattoo and he'll be ready to go.

Go NaGundam Pinup
So here's what I came up with. No fun action lines. My friends have this awesome idea to create a convention style guide for their wedding and are including some of their favorite artists based on a theme of giant robots, Japanese maples, and girls with glasses.
Might do a color version when I have more time.

Go NaGundam
This is my attempt to draw a Gundam in the style of Go Nagai, the creator of Mazinger Z. It's a study for a piece for a friend's wedding. Hope I have time to finish.

Hanya Halloween
I'm entering in this year's Design By Humans Halloweek contest. This is my entry. The design is based on the traditional Hanya masks in Noh theater, but with a little twist.
If you like it, you can vote for me here!

stuckAtTheOffice
More silly ballpoint pen experimenting. I got kinda bored with the office thing so I started drawing the back of the head of the dude sitting in front of me on the subway.
Commute Of Freaks
I found this old sketch book from 2002 that still had a boat load of pages to fill. So I grabbed a big stonkin' bag of cheap ass Papermate ballpoint pens at the CVS and decided to work on some shading on my morning and evening commutes. This is the first thing I spewed out.

Hot Doggin' (Part II)
I recently started reposting my old webcomic to Flickr. Trying to figure out a way to integrate it with my blog, but for now, you can check out my albums to see my old stuff. Right now, Angry Zen Master Vol.1 is all that's up there, but there will be more. Oh yes, there will be more.

Hope you like my interpretation, Ross! The System kicks all kinds of ass. A webcomic MUST read!

Zombie Panda
Here's a cute but horribly depressing one page comic I did for the Fat Chunk Volume. 2 collection. I like doing these one page comics. I have half a mind to do a series of cute but horribly wrong comics, but I'll let that one simmer for a bit.
