Wizard World Chicago 2010

[Oliver]

Hey ya'lls, I'll be attending my first Wizard World Chicago show Aug. 19-22 and will be in Artist's Alley with fellow studiomate Livio Ramondelli. Last time I was at this show was in 2004, as a fan showing my portfolio around.

Here is a pre-paid commission of 'The Creature from the Black Lagoon' I did for pick-up at the show. It was a lot of fun to do and my first time drawing this classic character.

Anyhoo, can't wait for the show and see ya there!

Aion

[Eddie]

Hello everyone, here is a piece I did for a SDCC lithograph based on characters from the AION RPG. Truth be told, I'm not too familiar with this game or the characters, but after checking out their website and all the cool character designs they have, I got excited doing this piece.

I really like the big and intricate shapes that the armors consist of. The one thing that was a little hard, and probably took the longest, were the feathers. I haven’t drawn big wings before, so I didn’t know how much of them to indicate and how much of them were going to be knocked out with the color.

Just when you start getting comfortable with your ‘skill set’, something always throws a ‘curve ball’ and REMINDS you the learning process is a nonstop, ongoing process…Nevertheless, I am pretty happy with the overall piece and I think Michael Lopez did a fantastic job on the rendering…especially the girl.

When that guy starts rendering the ladies, magic happens!

Hope y’all digzzz.
