Hear ye', hear ye'!

Here's the animated music video my friend Crom & I busted our asses on for the last (and almost) year! It's nice to say that the viewers have received this video with a nice, warm hug & lots of shares. Enjoy!

Commander Stefie Shepard.

I started this drawing a couple of weeks ago when I was absolutely mad in love with Mass Effect 2. I was going to upload just the commander in my usual good ol' white nothingness, but my bearded man challenged me to draw a background (for once!) & this is what I came up with. Seriously, I have no depth perception, but the change feels fresh n' good. If only I were more skillful, this could actually fall into an "illustration" category. Don't get me wrong, I kinda like it. I even signed it, see?

Time to check the ass-kicking agenda.

WIP: Dwayne Johnson

So, three days ago I watched Faster & I got flabbergasted by Dwayne Johnson's excessive muscle. He no longer has a neck! So I doodled him halfways... and the doodle evolved into something else which you'll see later. In the meantime, you get the un-finished drawing.

Insect Activities

I've been practicing on my animation lately, but I'm quite disappointed in the results. I always thought I had a good eye for animation, but when it comes for me to actually work on movement, my brain turns into jelly and I can't think! Here's one of the first exercises I made:

As you can see, this little fella here looks like he's falling back & the loop is kinda wonky. I had to emergency-call my good ol' pal Marco to get a little help. He found the issue right away. I was starting my walk cycle with a standing position. Tired & a little bummed out, I decided to give it a rest... until today!

Before I started, I did a little research. I read a couple of animation tutorials & worked on their keyframing. This is what resulted of my more studied attempt at animating:

Yep, still a wonky animation, but at least now it's a little bit smoother... except for that weird humping my cockroach warrior does every time the loop restarts. Anyway, feedback is always welcome. Keep on truckin', y'all!

PS. Just because I made you watch my lame animation attempts, here's a cutesy little snake lady I made last week...

What's coming...

I'm working on a personal project related to my favorite movie ever: Krull. It's going to have animation, 8-bit & lotsa Krull goodness, obviously. I think it may take me around three months to complete due my laziness. I'll try hard to keep Belphegor out of this project & hopefully finish it by summer. Greetings to my two faithful readers... here's a treat for y'all!

And if by some god-forsaken reason, you're dumb enough not to know the pure epic awesomeness called Krull, here's the trailer:
