Zoo Drawings

2010-03-30T00:05:00.000-07:00

Yes believe it or not, some people still go to the Zoo and draw the Animals. I believe there are only 2 people left in this world that believe if they draw animals at the Zoo, somehow that will lead to animation position at Disney Feature, ha, ha. My good buddy Eric Oliver was there with me here is a link to Eric site, he is the hardest worker in the Animation

of all time Walter Peyton AKA "Sweetness"

I thought I would post this funny Wubbzy design I created for my good friend Bob Boyle, lets just say sometimes in life people throw you the ball so to speak and you better catch the ball. This design is based on the 1976 Superbowl where Jackie Smith dropped the ball against the Steelers.

Jabba design getting closer

2009-08-13T21:43:00.000-07:00

-JJ

Can't stop drawing METAL Characters

2009-04-09T16:57:00.000-07:00

I have decided to animate a Metal Video on my own time, when I can find some things have been busy. I designed a Bass player, lead guitarist and now here is the lead singer. It is a Axle Rose type rip off.

JAWA

2009-02-25T21:19:00.000-08:00

Well I am in the process of doing some really cool freelance animation and design work for a really cool friend of mine. I am not sure if I am allowed to post this, but I made this prop for the project. Work in progress, have to add some more words to the packaging.

Monster

2009-02-20T19:09:00.000-08:00

Me and My buddy Frankie have decided to draw a character design every week, I am not to happy with this design. When a drawing isn't going very good I tend to throw a lot of hair on it, ha, ha

Even More Metal

2009-02-17T14:38:00.000-08:00

I thought I should see this through to the end and create a Bass player, he is kind of a Nicki Six hybrid. I am going to ink all these designs in Adobe Illustrator when I kind of finalize the design a bit.

Even More METAL

2009-02-13T10:32:00.000-08:00

You can't draw a bunch of Metal Guitarist's without drawing a SLASH rip off design, I actually hate doing the more Cliche concept of a Guitarist, the Hat and hair covering his face design, is a bit of a cheat. It is always harder to draw the face and you may notice I didn't draw any hands, I can draw them I just didn't want to, ha, ha.

More Metal sketches

2009-02-13T10:29:00.000-08:00

I am really thinking of animated some METAL characters for my reel or possible for film festivals, I have a million ideas. Here is my sketch of a James Hatfield character.

Still Working on Rocker Design

2009-02-09T18:00:00.000-08:00

Metal Design

2009-02-04T22:10:00.001-08:00

Haven't posted in awhile, which I believe is the way every artist starts there blog post. I have really been into Metal lately, the artistry of the costumes and dynamic clothing. I have been on a kick of drawing metal type characters, here is a work in progress.

2008-08-11T21:31:00.000-07:00

Transformers

2008-08-07T00:19:00.000-07:00

I have always loved Transformers, I thought it would be fun to create a stylized Illustrator drawing of my favorite characters Megatron and Devastator.

2008-04-23T11:50:00.000-07:00

I would say it is finished, but I have all these ideas I want to add to it, man a design never seems to be finished.

Bill the Butcher

2008-01-28T00:42:00.000-08:00

I have just done a rough sketch of a design I think I will try and execute in either prisma or acrylic. I probably will use a little of
both, I am a little nervous to start cause the rough turned out so nice that I am worried the final may not me as strong.
-JJ

Predator

2008-01-24T21:30:00.000-08:00

I am almost done with this design, my last post you could see where I started and where it is now. This is 70% water color, a little
oil paint on the highlights, some acrylic and prisma pencil here and there. I think for my next design I am going to do a prisma of Daniel Day Lewis as Bill the Butcher from Gangs of Newyork. I have this goal of having four evil characters on one page for my portfolio.

-JJ

Barnes final finished

2008-01-23T12:49:00.000-08:00

I final finished my LT.Barnes prisma sketch the way I wanted it, thought I would post it.

Arnold

2008-01-21T17:22:00.000-08:00

I have a few designs I am working on when I have free time, one design I have worked on is a watercolor of Arnold from the
Movie Predator.

LT Barnes reworked

2008-01-21T17:14:00.001-08:00

I have been reworking my Barnes design a bit, I think I have may have muddied it a bit. Oh well that is why God created Acrylic
paint, I can just pain over my mistakes.

Barnes in Prisma Pencil

2008-01-15T21:53:00.000-08:00

I decided to create a bunch of stylized more polished designs for my portfolio. I took the rough sketch of LT. Barnes and rendered it in Prisma Pencil, I will probably add some Acrylic paint made some oil. It is a work in progress.

-JJ

Sketch of Barnes

2008-01-02T22:55:00.000-08:00

I am really interested in great characters that you find in movies. One of my favorite characters is LT. Barnes from Platoon, I am
thinking of doing some vector art or a painting of him.

Megaron 99.9% finished

2008-01-01T20:28:00.001-08:00

I had some free time so I decided to try and finish my Megatron design today. I will probably still noodle it.

Devastator on the way

2007-12-26T16:14:00.000-08:00

I have been busy with the holidays, but in a couple days I will post my newest transformer design, Devastator!!! However I
still have to finish the Megatron design.

Megatron

2007-12-20T23:47:00.000-08:00

I was looking online and saw some old school Transformer stuff, since then I have been designing characters of
transformers, here is a work in progress.

2007-12-12T21:27:00.000-08:00

Robot from the past

2007-12-12T21:24:00.000-08:00

I had this idea about a robot and a little boy, the same old tired story you have probably heard a million times. However
I still like this design, I sketched it then cleaned it up in Illustrator then I brought it into Photoshop and did a diffuse effect.

My little nephew

2007-12-12T21:08:00.001-08:00

He is 4 years old and I am about to finish a painting of a Gorilla for him, this was the sketch I did using prisma pencils, arcylic and some markers. I just wanted to layout the design first before I did it. This painting has taken me a year, ha, ha, maybe I
will post it when it is actually finished.
