another old solo pic

a wider shot of the previous. again, this never made it into the final cut of the film, nor any of the remastered editions.

star wars han solo

this was an old pic i found of harrison ford back when he made 'star wars.' they were filming a scene where han meets up with boba fett. as many of you know, this scene never made it in the final cut of the film.
the planet where this scene was to take place was never mentioned in any of the films. as you can see, it was some sort of fantastical crazy-coloured lush jungle planet.

football dude.

not much to say about this one. had fun coloring it.

and now some gouache...

Another old piece I did for school, this time copying Russian painter Ilya Repin. The main point of this exercise was to learn a different medium and replicate/understand brushstrokes.
As far as Repic is concerned, this guy was pretty good. If ever a show of his work rolls into town, I'd implore you to go check it out. You will not be disappointed.

old watercolor

I dug this up while at the parental's. Did this while in school. It's a watercolor master copy based on John Asaro's painting. That guy had mad skills. Wonderful color, nice composition, brilliant brushwork. What a travesty this is, huh? HEHE.
Asaro might be best known for his 'Asaro head,' a plaster cast that he designed that delineate the planes of the head. Check it out. It's a great study tool for artists.

robot dude.

I was really inspired by "Megaman" for this one. Maybe it's not as much reflected in the drawing as much as in the coloring. Pretty big contrast in color palettes compared to my last post (at least in my mind). I messed with some photoshop settings and came up with interesting color variations that i may put up at a later date.
Anyway, this post is more of a shout out to one 'screaming egg.' I apologize for not responding to you. I have left my gmail account for you to contact me if you need. I hadn't really checked nor updated my blog as I should have, so I didn't get your message. Blegghh.. I get the feeling you left that message a FEW YEARS AGO.

turtle ride

My main concern was how I would color this. I wanted a more subdued palette. Something not so BOLD.
The drawing has a few flaws here and there, but I can live with it. This is just a 'lil baby step. I will prolly give this style of coloring a few more tries.
