Just for Christmas, the Miser Brothers from A Year Without a Santa Clause. This is kinda a small little experiment I’ve started of making stop motion puppets into real organic looking manga styled characters. I did a similar project earlier with Bitch Puddin’ from Robot Chicken. These two I’ve actually been experimenting in the sketchbook with, trying to translate their parts to manga style, so here’s the result of several experiments just in time for Christmas.
Another late upload from October, and this is another fan design similar to the Headless Horseman I uploaded before. So those who know me personally know that the 1989 Batman film is my favorite Superhero movie, for that matter it’s really a fandom in itself rather than being affiliated with my fandom with Batman.
Well, I should also note that the Scarecrow is my favorite Batman villain as well as my favorite DC villain. I’ve got somewhat of an obsession with with the character, I love his concept and design (usually). So this idea came to mind after I got a wired cape for my SH Figurearts Batman figure earlier this year, thus making it the 1989 figure I always wanted. In my excitement my imagination started to soar especially after learning about the new 89 comic book which brings classic villains into the Tim Burton universe of Batman. So, I came up with the idea to come up with design for the Scarecrow.
He actually came out much different than what I had originally envisioned, as I had intended to mostly stick with the classic design with some straw hair. But I tried out some concepts such as a trench coat and a kinda torn cape which was inspired by Tim Sale’s design of the character. When designing him, I wanted to make something that fit Tim Burton’s signature style, something that could be seen as scary but at the same time quirky. The red’s were actually inspired by the animated series action figure of the character, which was the very thing that made me such a fan of the character. A number of the other aspects came from other drawings of the character such as his design in the one shot issue, Mistress of Fear.
I’m so upset with myself for not updating this site more frequently. I’ve been so busy updating the Kalwa site and doing other work over there and I’ve virtually forgotten to post updates to this site. There actually was a bit of stuff posted to some of my other social media outlets this past month for Halloween. So there’s a bit of catch up to do.
So I’m uploading a piece from Halloween, the Headless Horseman. I’ve wanted to draw the character for years but never got around to it. As a full disclaimer this is kinda self design Headless Horseman, I wanted him to look very demonic and un-natural, hence why the horse might look a little… out of the ordinary. Also as the Horseman is a dead ghost, he essentially wears his injuries with pride, I’ve always had a thing for villains like that. Anyway, enjoy possibly the most gruesome art I’ve done to date.
Right off the coattails of Makoto Shishio, comes Kohaku from Dr. Stone a frequent subject of mine. Truth be told I have a little woman worship for her and always feel that when I see someone elses art of her I feel inferior. So this time, I just went for cute, making her look as cute as possible eating some Ramen.
Just a small little fan project featuring Senku and Kohaku from Dr. Stone. The idea came when I looked at the Kohaku figure on my bed table last week and just wondered what she would look like in a japanese school uniform. But of course if I did Kohaku I had to do Senku too. So here we are.
We’ve reached another milestone over on the sister website with the completion of Kalwa chapter 23, which is the first chapter in the Japanese arch. And to conclude this first chapter we got a special colorful pinup for your viewing pleasure. Now that this chapter is finished, I’ll be spending the next couple of days finishing up Amber and of course get a least a couple of Mer-May drawings up before the month ends. So for right now, click the thumbnail below to read our new completed chapter of Kalwa.
It’s been a while since I gave an update on the sister site of Kalwa, so today I’m giving an update that new pages are officially love on the website. We are now up to page twelve which is the near halfway point of this first chapter in the Japanese story arch, so it would be a great time to check out what we got. And don’t worry, more Amber pages are coming soon, I just got to get around to working on them. As usual, click the thumbnail below to see what we got.
New pages have been added to Kalwa chapter 23, and I must say that I’m really having a blast with this chapter. We’re now moving into a story which will have more emphasis on action and combat, so this is a time for me to unleash my experience on reading shonen and other action based manga. Mainly I’m looking at action scenes from Naruto to design the line work for these pages and it’s really helped me get through this tough time the world is going through. I’m truly in love right now with this ability to craft scenes and motion and I just can’t stop myself working. So anyway, a shout out to everyone who reads my comics and especially to those who enjoy them. I hope you continue to read my and enjoy my work as much as I enjoy working on them. As usual, click the thumbnail below to read the newest Kalwa page entries.
A repost of the latest fan art of Kohaku from Dr. Stone. I did this after reviving a criticism about the size of my faces and size of heads, I really noticed it on the old art I did of this character. So I decided to do another piece of the character to make amends.
