I decied to try some traditional animation with the new character
It's just a rough sketch for now but I'll work on the details.
100 points to anyone who guess where I took this from.

weekly character concept #2

I'm trying again this week to develop another character, with more expressions and poses this time.
Next week I'll have to work on other stuff so I might skip the weekly character. Not sure yet.
But anyway, this week theme is


VAMPIRE

And this is the first piece

A pig called Bacon

In the previous post I wrote how I wanted to try again to work on character designing.
I decided to pick a theme, for this week was REDNECK, and started drawing something.
This is what I came up with.
( I still have to improve my digital painting skills so this next week I'm going back to study the basics ).

I couldn't come up with a name for the old man... Let's call him "Jack".
The name for the pig is Bacon ( pretty obvious ).
So here i introduce to you "jack & bacon" my redneck themed character design for the week.

Weekly character concept #1

I've been pretty busy with work in the past few weeks, this is why I haven't been able to keep up with the blog and more updates.

But I missed drawing and thinking about new characters and concepts.
This is why I decided to try this system:

I will try every week to draw something based on a random concept ( I have 75 to choose from for now! and I'm adding more everyday ).
This week concept is:



REDNECK

That's it. Simple as that.
And this is what I currently developed


By the end of the week I'll make sure to have more stuff.

I'm also trying to find some short stories to develop a bigger illustration project, so if anyone has some good stories to suggest don't be shy and tell me.

Keep following for more updates.

tiki mask character

A collegue of mine saw the ukulele I've painted, and since he plays it too he asked me to draw something for him.
So after doing some research, because I wanted to do something a little more hawaiian style ( but not to much ) I came up with this two characters, inspired by tiki masks. Still got to finish some details though.
