Static Hudson

So I was just scribbling around in my moleskine and I came up with the idea for this sketch that in my mind is based on a comic character I came up with in school. I want to (and slowly am) doing a series of paintings based on this storyline because I was inspired by the World War Robot book by Ashley Wood.So the next step was to blow this up and paint it. from 5.5" x8.5" to 15" x 20" and I traded the bic for acrylics. It was going to be a submission for the Spectrum art book, but because of other deadlines and personal restrictions I missed the deadline by two days. oh well, next time.
Here are some closer shots,
and a couple more.And thats all for now...

A resurgence in the Galactic Empire

This is something I've been meaning to do for awhile now and never really got around to. But recently my roomate ( http://kajusx.deviantart.com/ ) has got me hooked on the new clone wars series on cartoon network. In all honesty, I talked a lot of shit when the new movie and then this show came out because I felt a kind of loyalty to the Tartakovsky shorts. But this show is fun and campy and jam packed with action so I made room for both.

Anyways, I took this piece from awhile ago...and then I theoretically set it after the third movie, added text, graphics and photoshop effects and made this...That's all for now, I'm not as "weekly" any more but I'll still be regular and whatnot.
