Artwork from the 90s

This is a blog page for artwork from the 90s. I'm still working on posting more pictures.

Photography: before and After

Stencils

Stencils are another art-style that I have also studied. I do this technique by hand with a black marker, or create it in Illustrator.

I have made some new stencils in the form of Mandalas.

   

 
I

This is my latest stencil design: "Fillet of Souls"

It is based from a painting that I made 11 years ago. I was inspired by a tar-like stain on an art studio floor at UALR.



Mohandas Ghandi

This is one of my latest stencil that I done as a BrainQuote.com piece which I didn't have enough time to do. I have four more pictures much like it.

Maya Angelo




Maya is another intelligent figure whom I also wanted to place into my BrainyQuote piece.

Pablo Picasso

Here is another person whom I admire: Pablo Picasso. He also has some interseting quotes in Brainyquote.com.
Confucius


Since there are no photograph of him(since he lived long before photography was invented), I had to use a picture of his statue.
Brandon Lee( The Crow)


This is Brandon Lee's most memorable role: The Crow.

Digital Illustration

The Golden Gals and Kurosaki

Here are some more girls that I created with fishnets. The first two I call "The Golden Gals" Goldilocks and her sister Goldie Blond. Their real names are Rhodesia and Rainesha but their nicknames are more explanatory. As for my ninja I name her Kurosaki for Black Blossom. They are also created by a combination of Corel Painter and Photoshop.

Busty Bee-Hive Babes with Guns.

These girls are a homage to Ralph Bakshi, Russ Meyers, Tromaville and the Grindhouse genre before the invention of the VCR in the mid 70s. First, I drew the girls in Corel Painter and then I took them into photoshop. I usual don't post my creations on-line for fear of plagarism. The way that I made the squares was by using the square selection tool and arrange it as a silhouette and used levels in the colored blank background to lighten and darken it. For the blond, I was inspired by the cover model on the November 2007 issue of ENVY: Dallas Life magazine.

Jade from Mortal Kombat

After I drew her I took the picture into Photoshop so that I can clean it up. To make her like the video game character I had to make her and her weapons glow. Since she was glowing I couldn't use a white background, I had to use a dark one. In doing so I did, but a solid color just looked boring to me. For the patterns I used the rectangle marquee tool and level adjuster to create the different shades and tints in the background.

Eleanor Twitty: The Librarian Ghost from Ghostbusters 1 and 3(the video game)

Like the Scoleri Brothers I did a lot of photoshop work for her. I did more work for her and her alter-ego. The floating books, normal mode and beast mode were duplicated into their own layers in order for me to manipulate them: glow, color adjustment and stroke. As an added bonus, she is holding two books: Tobin's Spirit Guide and The Necronomicon.

The Scoleri Brothers from Ghostbusters 2.

Although it is traditionally drawn, I added a glow effect to the ghost to bring them to life.

The Incredible Hulk

This is my latest vector art piece.

The Mad Hatter

Here is a vector portrait of The Mad Hatter from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland.

DestroyX of Angelspit

Here is one of the members of the Cyberpunk rock duo called Angelspit, DestroyX.

Barnes & Noble Graphic Design piece This is my Graphic Design piece that I made for Barnes & Noble. I used the concept of the Tree of Knowledge where I made a tree out of words. The words in the tree represent the kind of book, CDs and DVDs that the store and website sell. I used this illustration as a blue print for my Barnes and Noble motion graphics piece. In the piece the tree is growing from the ground and branches growing out of it. Each of the branches on the tree are categories of the books that they sell: science, sports, graphic novels, music, etc. In the motion graphic piece I used a classical song called rain forest for the piece.

Countess Grotesque

I loved Grotesque Puppy Meow's picture "This is Halloween" so much that I had to paint it in Corel painter. It was a while since I painted something in Corel, but it came out great. This picture is on Deviant Art.

The Joker: The Dark Knight

This is the third Vector picture that I have done on a trial pack of Adobe Illustrator. Since I never got around to doing a cross-hatch, nor stipple of the joker: vector is the next best thing.

Slimer

For a long time I wanted to draw a picture of slimer from the same photo that I took this from.

Tim Skold

This is the frist vector picture that I actually did: Tim Skold of Shotgun Messiah, KMFDM and Marilyn Manson.

Gen of Genitorturers

This is the second vector picture that I have done. If I had finished this picture three years ago and didn't start over, then this would've been my first. It is a picture of Gen, lead singer of Genitorturers.

Visualized Quote

I made this in my second semester at the Art Institute. It was the first time that I was on Brainyquote.com. If you can't read it, it saids "The burden of originality is one that most people don't want to accept. They'd rather sit in front of the TV and let that tell them what they're suppose to like, what they're suppose to buy and what they're suppose to laugh at"-Marilyn Manson.

The Jackyl

Here is a picture of the Jackyl from 13 Ghost. I did this picture entirely in Photoshop just like a picture in Corel Painter.

Godsmack Album cover

In Digital Paint class at The Art Institute of Dallas I painted a copy of a Godsmack album cover.

Valkyrie

I also painted this picture in the same class. I drew inspiration from a sketch that I made in 2005, and painted the picture two years later.
