Sketchbook Pages Fresh Off The Press

Well, not off the presses. More like fresh off the Cintiq. Recent series of digital sketches below, like literally from the past few days. Plenty of storybook vignettes and random character pieces.
(*Note 08 / '23: Redid some of these pieces back around 2022. So instead of the original dirty underwear that was here, you get slightly laundered boxers a few years later.)

(*Okay, now back to the proper timeline for my drawings.)

...And here's a redux of an older piece from... 2018 I think? 8-bit characters hanging out at the old Chinese takeout place we'd hit after class at the local JC:

I guess at the time I thought the shapes were pushed enough on the first version (small inset picture on the left). But in all likelyhood I just wanted to get the color and lighting done, and didn't take enough steps back to see if I actually liked the overall feel of the poses or the drawing itself. And as usually the case from back then, I didn't really push the concept or character interactions either, so... here you have it. More characters, a little more activity, including burping. Hopefully some color soon.

Space Harrier Girls

Bits and pieces of several illustrations and sketch pages. Universe loosely based upon the classic arcade and console game Space Harrier.

Art Against Alzheimers 2018 - Street Fighter submissions

Two sets of Street Fighter prints I submitted to this year's Forget Me Not: Art Against Alzheimer's, run by Mr. Brandon Tokunaga. (Ibuki for the first pic; Cammy and Chun Li for the second. An unfinished first pass of the Ibuki illustration can be found here.)

All proceeds were donated to Alzheimer's research as well as Alzheimer's care and assistance. That said, the theme for the art has been increasingly pop related, esp. with vintage video games taking a lion's share of the print submissions. Given that the show made a good chunk of change this year, I'd say that's a winning strategy, and for a good cause.

Obligatory Retro Game Post 5

The Space Harrier cyclops mammoth got cropped out for now, but since this is part of a larger illustration, no worries. He'll have his day soon. As always, this can be found over at the Instagram account.
