Old and New

Old

New

Not to long ago I found an old comic i drew and decided it would be fun to re draw it...some folks (very few) actually like the old one better let me know what you think
-The Don Scorpio-

Image of the beast...

So, the conceptart.org character of the week is Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid. The requirements are to have her in both mermaid for and maiden form. I decided to draw both versions, color them, then composite them together.
Broke out the inking pens for these two because I wanted clean scans to color...my sketchbook is hugs, though, so the maiden part I had to tilt and even then, there's shadow on the scan :( I come to find out that I'm a really cowardly inker ever since I stopped using rapidographs back in '01. This really felt like I was just tracing...

Anyway, I rarely do this, but I just started doodling out of the blue. wanted to draw something like an ogre, no real purpose and its not thought out at all, just "Lets draw a horn...Oh, attach it to a fat dood!"
Finally, the other day I organized a gathering of local artists to get together at Barnes & Nobles for drawing. The only person who showed up was this girl, Sue. We exchanged sketchbooks while making smalltalk, but once that was done, we got down to drawing... The girl was a monster! It was exactly like when Frieza's thugs saw Goku and their power meter eye-pieces blew up, except that instead of Ki, it was drawing energy. What a blast! She was just plowing away, and the drawings were good, too! This went on for hours, we're drawing and chatting about the animation industry and such. I noticed that the things she drew were VERY random, so I asked "What's that there" and it was like she'd come out of this trance and say something like "Oh! Um...I guess I was drawing a hand".

If I can only use her power for good.

More Eclec

This is the main character of sorts for the story his name is Nock its just a rough pen drawing but was a lot of fun to draw..

Quicky, but to the point.

Howdy...

A small throw back in the long lost days at AIPH.

For those who dont know it, it's my art-tag: "TRASOR".

He's my lit' light box of art motivation.

Is this a blog or a FLIPPIN movie store!!!

What the hell is with all the posters?!

I thought this was a blog to post art you "CREATE" ,

not art you drool over and wanna masterbate too because

it's "SO" cool!

If it inspires you so much, then freaking create something

original from the inspiration-DAMN IT!

Post this crap somewhere else n talk about it.

BERTIUS

Here are a few more :P

My Wife is a Gangster - This poster kicks so much ass. The RBW scheme is really intense.
Interview With the Vampire - This poster really captures the subtlety of the movie with the thin serif font and the earthtones... Pay no attention to the HUGE Tom Cruise in the background. A star of that calibre needed top billing for a role like this.
Harry Potter 5 - This poser is EXACTLY as spooky as the book reads. I think it hit fans a lot harder than the people who hadn't read the books, but I can't be sure.
Old Boy - This one's brilliant. I wonder how the designer explain the layout... "Well, I want to have the title in the middle of the poster, but vertically so it leads your eye down to the actors".
Batman Mask of the first good superhero movie - I just like the way the negative space between the masks makes a sort of batman silouhette. Also, I think this is the only batman movie that doesn't use the logo... Like, you're supposed to like it even if you're not a fan of Batman.
Who framed Roger Rabbit - Another one that's just layed out cool/
Amelie - vibrant color balance without being abrasive. Also...Audrey Tatou's adorable.
Fight Club - This poster's really cool, but becomes ten times cooler after you see the movie. I didn't read the book until way later, so I wonder how the fans felt when they saw this for the first time.

Ok, whose gonna do Transformers? :)

10 Cool Movie Posters

These are 10 posters that all grabbed me in some way not all are my favs but still cool

1. The Day After Tomorrow- This incredible poster had me wondering all the way to opening day what could of happened? Nuclear War? Natural Disaster? Etc?

2. Dream Girls- This poster makes me feel like I'm back in one of the old cotton clubs in Harlem...add the pink light and slightly silhouetted sexy figures and you've got yourself a top notch poster

3. Friday The 13th- This has got to be the most boss Jason poster I've came across if i never saw a Friday the 13th this poster would trick me into thinking they were actually good

4. A Nightmare On Elm Street- Not a good horror poster but man what an awesome composition...even as a youngster this pic made me want to draw, looking at it now is no different, the placement of the metallic claws, the big glowing eyes and pouty lips of the victim simply JAWESOME!!!!

5. Platoon- Too many reasons why this poster rocks...Did he lose his comrades to combat? Is He praying to god in his final Moments? Is he asking for help? When you see the movie and find out that this incredible composition is a screenshot from the film itself it makes it stand out so much more

6. Premonition- I 1st saw this in the hallway at work and was like damn that's creative...I still don't care to see the movie but damn this composition almost got me

7. Spiderman 3- No logo, no text, just the number 3 and a brooding fallen from grace spiderman this poster gave off a tone so dark you couldn't help but to find out what Hollywood was going to do with/to your favorite neighborhood webslinger in this movie

8&9. The Dark Night- These posters speak for themselves the burning bat symbol on the smoldering building and the fearless batman standing in front of it followed by falling debris gets u pumped I actually want to go out and kick ass after seeing this...The Joker Version has what I like To call Ultimate villain swagger, the stance the suit he's the Criminal all the lil hoods look up too

10. Conan- This be a manly poster by Crom...Looking at this makes me want to drink trashcan size glasses of bear, eat mutton chops, and go out on army slayin adventures with 2 buxom vixens who sleep with me in between fights to replenish my health...kinda like 300 without all the oil and extra men...

Animation linkuuuuuuuu!

So while waiting on yet another new scanner, I've been killing time catching up on movies. The new Miyazaki film "Ponyo on the cliff by the sea" was brilliant. I got to talking about it on drawingboard.org and posted the trailer, and a Ghibli museum short... I don't know how to link videos on blogspot, so just use this "NEW GHIBLI STUFF"

I'm watching the new Star Wars movie, and replying to this guy about Ponyo when I stumbled on to this "WTF?!?"
I'm sure Herny brought this G.I.Joe thing up in a jumbled conversation about webcomics and butt-jigglin', but who knew it could actually look good?

Chibi Nightcrawler

Because someone requested it: here is my version of chibi Nightcrawler. I wanted to do something playful and for some reason, I thought an apple would be so cute. You know, I think I was thinking about an old Pokemon episode where Picachu had this bottle of ketchup that he really loved... I can't recall, but it was so cute. Any who, enjoy!

Tribute to Steve (aka McInkco).

Here's a long over due pic I have done in tribute to one of my
greatest inspirations Mr. Steve Ellis.






He has helped me plenty thru the years or our friendship and
the only one to push me to actually start coloring things digitally.

It's a villian named "Iceman" that I created for one of Steve's
first animations back in the day at crappy old AIPH.

Iceman is trapped in a time when you're fridgration was actually
delivered daily, which was just a big chunk of "ICE".

No fancy gadgets or mad schemes here, just pure brutality
of cold hard strength that only a mother would love.

Here's to you steve, take a bow.

Sketch Battle @ 23:00hr

Hello everyone, once again a mighty sketch-battle has commenced.
It was between Mr.Madman Mcinko and his trusty bootineer, BERTIUS.

Title: Weiner-dog sandwiches as a video game (Cover box art).
Time: 1 hour.
Medium: Whateva we wanted.



BERTIUS

McInko's

Yes! That's right, clever we were.

Funny though, because steve and I went completely opposite points of the spectrum for our snappy title, which is very cool.

I was thinking food, he was thinking doggie.

Technically, I was in the wrong of the title, but hey -it was fun :).

This is why the great and mysterious way of the sketch-battles aurora can be fulfilling. You never know how it will be preceived in the minds of its hosts.

Feel free to take a stab at the battle yourself!

Enjoy it.

WARNING: convention conspiracy

Hey guys =)

I finally managed to get a table at Otakon this year, which was awesome. However, there have been a huge conspiracy with a particular "artist" taking up 14 tables for herself and continuing being the attention whore that she have always been. She have a nice marketing scheme, stating that she is 14 when in truth she is over 20. Of all the great luck she was right next to me during the 3 days, and i even helped her when her display fell.

The following is a page people have dedicated to her describing things that she have done.
http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/Amuria

I would've kept it quiet, but this person almost got AA getting shut down. The final straw is saying that being an ARTIST and making art for a living is stupid, waste of time and we are to be forever poor. She has no respect for art, she is there to make money with the infamous shiny art that she does with the burn and dodge tool.

Anyway, this is just a fair warning to watch out for her. She steals artwork on forums (especially DA) and proclaim that she was inspired to draw the same thing to sell. Plus she's a good enough reason why it's hard to get tables at cons since she have her whole family taking up tables under different names.

by the way...it is also addressed by the Otakorp regarding this last week.

Aliens Ridin' Dinosaurs Round 2

Since this was a rush job to meet the deadline I didn't get a chance to color this piece. But hey at least I made the deadline unlike some people... ;P

-J.U.NICE!

Goulash Ad Snippet

Here's a small visual snippet of the ad from Ground Up Studio's anthology. The ad was done to promote this blog as well as the versatile amount of artists on here. This ad was extremely fun to do, and it was a collab with a bunch of the studio members with each member illustrating their Ground Up spinoff on each stage of the evolution line. Can anyone out there take a stab at who drew which character???

Lastly, to see the entire ad in it's glory as well as all the stories and other artwork you'll definitely should pick up the book. Sorry no freebies UNLESS you participated in the book that is. Everybody else will have pay.

Business logo for Pet Sitter

Sup y'all. I just finished a freelance gig for my wife's pet sitting business.

She is starting it up after the holiday weekend.

The idea is Noah's ark, mobilized with household pets aboard.

I keep the design 2D and simplified. I used a wacom tablet, drew, and designed

everything in Photoshop CS. Pshop is not my forte, but i took up the challenge.

I used mostly lasso tools along with pencil, brush, and marque tools as well.

It was a fun holiday weekend exercise and i enjoyed it. The important thing is

the wife loved it ;)

Any feedback would be sweet it's the only way my work will continue to

shape n grow.
