Nothing new... except for a new job!

I am currently employed at a local studio here in Toronto and will not be updating my blog any time soon. I am working on some awesome drawings but I cannot share them on my blog. Oh well, I'll get something up some day!

I'm Back!

Got back on Saturday from our two week trip to Italy. It was great, my wife and I got to stay with the people we love the most and my wife's sister got married. Of course we bought the newly weds a gift but I wanted to make them something of my own. I decided to draw them a caricature paint it digitally and get it printed on canvas in Italy. The print cost me 30 €uros and came out great! The size was 50 x 30 inches!!
So even thought I have had this done for more than a month I can finally host on my blog without ruining the surprise!

Myhtology ancient comic books

I always loved mythological tales with incredible beasts and heroes. The eternal fight between good and evil. They are at the root of every comic book hero of today and they teach moral values and the sotry structure is rich and easy to follow in many of them. So here's something I'm working on now a centaur and minotaur fight.
One part of bigger battle.

My good friend Jack's Alfa Romeo

This is a gift for my dad's best friend Jack who has a beatiful, sporty, Alfa Romeo step nose a great classic. So I decided to do caricature of his car and I'll be giving him the file so that he can get it printed on high quality glossy paper.
Jack and his wife Zlata have pretty much become our family here in Canada. I can't wait to show them the drawing. I hope they'll like it...

I love to do Caricatures

Since I was little I thought that caricatures was a great way of making people feal like a part of what you are drawing, make them care and be engaged by the piece instead of just looking at it.
So here are some of the caricatures I have done in the past... There are some I'm working on right now but those are top secret...

OLD stuff done in 1999!!

I wanted to post some old stuff that I did almost ten years ago. Time flies and I have been experimenting with art for years. Here are some of the drawings I did back in the day. I was a very negative person back then and I think you can tell by my drawings and lack of color. That all changed when I met the love of my life.

Year's come to an end

Year's come to an end

I will start working on Monday so I probably won't be putting up new stuff. I still have some older stuff from the past year that I haven't talked about and I think that'll have to do for now.
Here are some of my life drawings that I did in the past 4 weeks of school.
Creature creation and some normal gestures.

Got Myself a "little" something for the summer

The Year is over

My second year is Finally over at Sheridan. Today is my last all I have left is a test this afternoon. I've gotten this series of paintings I've been wanting to post for a bit and I got the last one done this morning. They are all layouts from my story I created about Angelo and the magic paintbrush. SO here are the final 3 paintings.

Sketch

It's very late and I've been sketching for the first time in photoshop. I kind of like what came outand I used this cool style. It took me about half an hour to 45 minutes.
I'm probably going to be working soon after school so I probably won't be doing much personal stuff. I still have tons of things I need to upload. I will soon.

The rough Beak

So here's the rough beak answering the snake..Part 2 of 2 I really am tired at this point in the year and I would love to have refined it more but we have so many things to do that I did this whole animation in about 8 hours... Hope you enjoy, please excuse the language, if I would have had time I would have taken out the swearing.
I have tons of other stuff but I don't have the time to post it. I promise I will soon. Although I doubt there are many people that come regularly to my site, lots of laughs...maybe someone from Disney :)
Dream on Alex...
Oh well you never know.
:D

Rough and Clean Muzzle animation

Got the audio track from the movie Analyze this with Robert Deniro. This is the rough and the cleanup stage, If you look carefully you will notice many changes from one to the other. All fixes to make it look solid. I am currently animating the pigeon. I will be painting this animation when school is done. Hope you like it.

Some new layouts

I decided that I wan't to do a zoom in to the castle for our layout assignment. So this is an initial rough. I'm probably going to break it all up into pieces and move them apart to give the illusion of depth.
