lizzard falls

the reptile has gremlin colored skin

kaiju

an illustration for a mark andrew smith upcoming comics project called kaiju.

put some work on the textures of this one!

all done digitally, on an intuos.

low toxicity suit

this one i drew trying out the cintiq.

...

este lo dibuje probando la cintiq.

rob bottin's robocop!

the one and only rob bottin's robocop!

at least I will accept no substitutes. 

royal house bureaucrat

humourless guy.

vintage card back alien back rider

vintage card back version of my alien back rider.

i just love the classic kenner star wars frame!

...

la ilustración de este verano en estilo vintage.

me encanta el classico marco de las figuras kenner de star wars! 

desert bug!

first thing i drew on the cintiq, right out of the package.

it is a problem how close on some area you can focus... 

takes some getting used to.

...

primera cosa que dibuje para estrenar la cintiq

puede ser un problema cuan cerca puedes trabajar en algo...

cuesta acostumbrarse.

fleshfacemaskbot

flesh face mask robot!

need i say more?

orb droid

another painterly experiment.

these are fun!

dedicado a mi iria!!

golden cave bug

another painterly one; just been trying out those new brushes for the last 3 days.

boy, the cintiq is fast!

...

otro tipo pictórico; llevo 3 dias dandole a estos nuevos pinceles.

mira que es rapida la cintiq!

desert trodd

this guy i drew earlier this summer, sitting on a spider.

i guess he's going to different places!

another one done with new brushes; i was going for a pencil-like finish here. 

it's strange to match the painterly rendering with the clear line artwork.

...

a este le dibuje en verano, montado en una araña.

parece que se mueve!

otro hecho con pinceles nuevos; iba por un acabado tipo lápiz.

es raro combinar el acabado pictórico con la linea clara del dibujo.

at the mountain top!

trying a more painterly approach with some new brushes (photoshop). 

the cintiq really allows for a lot more on this field than the intuos i've used since 2004.

and it's more fun!

...

probando un estilo mas pictórico con nuevos pinceles (photoshop).

la cintiq es mas permisiva en este terreno que la intuos que llevaba usando desde 2004.

y es mas divertido!

FOREIGN CUSTOMS

this one is also 100% digital, no trees sacrificed in the process.

worked a bit on the different skin textures for these guys after watching rick baker’s work on men in black 3. 

i think i did learn something useful. 
the little title card below is in that awesome flat color moebius style, which i bet he got from peter max.

all these people are very inspiring to me!
