B7 panels sneak peak

heya, gang. it's been a minute.. .so i wanted to drop some love off. here's a couple of panels to my B7 story.

XOXO You Know You Love Me...

... Gossip Girl. hahaha You know you've watched an episode or 2 of it.

Here is the cover to my 2010 artbook; Cheeks:Freshly Squeezed.

The new artbook will be available at the 2010 San Diego Comicon. It'll be a hardback with 76 pages. There's a good mixture of new pieces I haven't posted and some stuff I've done this year. The price is TBD. Preorders will be available for those interested, and I'll give ya heads up when orders can be placed. :)

Hope y'all digs!

You call that a knife?

Doing some gesture drawing, and I figured I'd kill 2 birds with one stone.

Jojo and Oki from my bastion's 7 webcomic.

Ichiban's gonna kick my booty for not coming to bed. I feel I have a valid excuse. Just so you know... I figure since you're viewing this then you're just as much in hot water as I am. :P

Before the wrath comes down on me and you...here's the clean-up I just wrapped up for my Bastion's 7 cover. Now it's on to the colors. :)

Hope y'all digs!

Bastion's 7 cover #1 roughs

Heya, gang!

I was really stoked to see you enjoyed the Dragon Ball piece I did of Goku. Thank you so much for diggin it! More to come, fo sho.

Here's a a little preview of my roughs for my Bastion's 7 wrap around cover.

Thank you for checking out my B7 blog!

Hope y'all digs!

Kuta's big, bad boss!

Heya, Gang.

Hope ya had a nice weekend.

Was working on the B7 webcomic and B7 Animated teaser over the weekend, and I finally quit avoiding Kuta, Kito and Taki's big, bad boss-man. So here he is; Moquay (Chinese for Monster).




Hope y'all digs!

B7 webcomic panels

Heya gang. I promised ya a sneak peak, so here ya go.

Big thanks to Mark Smith for helping me in the earlier development of B7.

I'd like to introduce my pal, J.Torres who's taking primary writing chores to push me creatively for the B7 webcomic.

J. Torres is the writer of the recently released graphic novel Lola: A Ghost Story and is a contributor to the Wall-E and Batman: The Brave and the Bold comic book series. J. first worked with me on Teen Titans Go. Visit him at http://www.jtorresonline.blogspot.com/

To tell ya the truth J. is so awesome he recently competed in the no-man bobsled competition at the Winter Olympics and won gold, silver, bronze and the lottery too.

So here's a conceptual peek and more to come in the near future!

Please don't beat me up on the text, It's just for your reading pleasure. :P

Just wrapped up roughing out panels 5-8 for my Bastion's 7 webcomic. The story starts off in the year 2074, in Chinatown: San Diego. This is where Bastion's 7 base is located. :) Why... because I love San Diego... AND I never felt 2 blocks of downtown was enough to call a Chinatown, so I made San Diego 80% Chinatown.. hehehe

Hope y'all digs!

B7 environment studies

Heya, gang. Happy Valentine's Day!

Hope you'll have a nice one with your loved ones. :)

Welp, as I was saying earlier on Twitter, I was working my booty off drawing some environment studies for Bastion's 7. It was fun exploring the possibilities and such. Boy, am I rusty. It was kinda addicting. Been drawing peeps too long! HAHAHA

If anyone is interested to wanting to color these as a test to be part of the Bastion's 7 teaser please do so. What I'm looking for is some nice Miyazaki-esque type of finishes on these. A day version and a night version. Hit me up with your email for the high-res if ya wanna give it a go. If you'd like feedback I'll gladly take a look and give you guidance if you want it. I did a quick guide on the right separating the elements to make it a bit more clear for ya. Not the best job, so I apologize. :)

Just a little direction: for the backgrounds the final I would be looking for is how the backgrounds looked in Spirited Away. I'd like to see some painted in defined grass blades, and the same for the leaves. Hope that helps!

I'd like to see what you can do within a week's period from the time I email you the high-res. Unfortunately, speed is kinda of the essence. My team and I would like to present the B7 teaser at San Diego Comicon 2010. Whomever I choose as the background painter will be pimped and credited on the teaser with the rest of the crew.

Hope y'all digs!

My 2010 Artbbook Cover W.I.P.

Wanted to share with ya the work in progress of what I'm doing for my cover to my 2010 artbook. The thought behind it is to hang in there, chase your dreams, conquer your goals, and to take that rough road to keep that inspiration alive no matter how difficult it is.

This is the front cover. The final will be a wrap around cover. I'll keep you all in the loop as I take you through the stages to final. You're in for a treat, I hope. If you're not familiar with the characters on the surface area... then shame on you. It's my Bastion's 7 characters, but in chibi form! HAHAHA

I'll also post some of the Bastion's 7 panels on here soon, once I get them more cleaned up. :)

Thank you for stopping by everyone!

Hope y'all digs!

Flicker

Ghost Rider... ... he is not.

Here's a sneak peak of a page from my new book to give ya an idea of what you're in for.

Without further adieux, meet Flicker! Lookit him... What a tool. He thinks he's all hard and shiz sittin on his scooter awaiting to terrorize some poor, helpless person(s).

He's the leader of a new group of baddies for my Bastion's 7 story. He'll be riding the streets with his scooter gang causing havoc. Sheeeesh .... no respect I tells ya, no respect! Somebody better lay the law on these fools.

Wall Crawler...? Uh, yeah... he wishes! HAHAHA Thank you all for the support and encouragement for my creating and developing Bastion's 7. Well, I hope this answers how it's coming along. I'm turning up the heat, and trying to evolve my art a bit more now.

Kuta vinyl

This is Kuta. He runs with a posse of 3 called Moquay's Minions. Kuta is a jovial bad guy. He is obedient to his boss, but will surprise you at the turn of a dime.

This year I launched my Kuta vinyl for purchase to the public. It's a limited run for the colored and the black and gray versions.







All info for individual sales can be found by clicking this link

________________________________________________________________________________



The Kuta vinyl is also available wholesale to retailers:
DKE Toys and I have joined forces to make this happen. Any retailers interested, please feel free to contact DKE Toys at http://www.dketoys.com/

Oki/Zero

Here's a little peek as to what's to come for Bastion's 7. Imma make another vinyl, and Oki/Zero is next on the line-up. Now that Oki is pretty much done, his alter ego; Zero is up on the chopping block. I'll show ya as it comes along, cool?






Joshua Singh hooked this bad boy up.

Hope ya digs!

Just a sketch....

....or not. :P

This month I finish my run on Spectacular Spider-Man Animated. 2 seasons flew by really quick. During the time off, until another season gets picked up, I'll be working on my Bastion's 7 property. I have been hungering to cut loose. After picking up books from my peers, and getting tips from my sensei, Jeff Johnson, I think I'm ready to do it up proper.

Sequentials scare the poop outta me. I guess what I fear the most is how to mend people with backgrounds, but I'm ready, willing, and hopefully able. hahaha

anyway, hope y'all digs!
