LoL I work right in front of my peecee so your stuck with me. However I am currently making those small changes you requested, and they are coming out great! The changes should be up in a few min.


Grudge I want to do a a piece of her and I together, but i have to wait until I have a clear queue.

Thanks all!...Hey did I ever tell you guys I LOVE to draw villians?...MUHAHAHAHAHAH!

And yeah Cyber, drawing people in motion is really tough! It took me a few times to get her pose just right.

My apologies Static I got caught up working on something today and didn’t get a chance to do the next character . Will post tomorrow though

I present Water Works!

Thanks guys I'm glad you like it! Altoholic You know I thought the same thing when I was coloring it, but the reason I chose red and black was because if Ice. E's scarf. I kind of wanted them all to have something in common. THey also all have freckles. I believe they are all supposed to be the same person but I'm not sure

Good day all! I finished up Stretch and I hope your son enjoys.

I don't know if you can call me a pro, but i can give you some tips.

Don't use "How to Draw" books (i never did anyway), they don't help IMHO. Just go out to a comic shop and look through some of the books, look for one (or a few) with some poses and a style you might like (perhaps your favorite artist) and take them home (pay for them, of course!) and trace the poses, faces, whatever you'd like to get better at creating. Sort of give yourself "lessons."

After you've traced a few and got a feel for the anatomy and such, try doing some work of your own. Use the books as referance material if you need to.

And, last but not least, always always ALWAYS use your imagination.

I cant say I agree with you…at all. Its very important that you learn and understand the basic structure of your subject, whether it’s an inanimate object or a dynamic super hero. In fact I’ve had no formal training and got my basic direction from “How to Draw” books. As The_PMD mentioned, I have all of the Burne Hogarth books, Christopher Hart has 2 really good ones, and I have 4 or 5 great anatomy books that I reference on a regular basis. Another good thing to do is to just draw things in life. Just go out to a park and do quick sketches of people so you can see how they move and how they actually interact with things.

PMD,

My son does alot of his own drawings. This was an outlet for him to see where his imagination can lead. He is more excited now thanks to this turnout then I could have hoped for.

Thanks for the encouraging words.

Yeah I can still remember the person's art I saw that inspired me to draw. I was sitting in a laundromat when I was 7 and there was a guy drawing next to me. Lol, I asked him so many questions. I know he must have been sick and tired of me. He is still a good friend of mine today. In fact I'm gonna give him a call tonight. So that being said, this may just be the start of something wonderful for your son too.

some of the nicest people I have ever seen. all great drawings! Id draw some but im not that comfortable with my drawings yet. Used to draw comic style alot, but got out of it. Here in the last 6 months (after looking at a certain MMOArt.com site) I started to draw again. Im getting better, just takes awhile to get the hang of it all again.

But thanks to Jamaro I have another hobby to add to the 50 I allready have.

Anyway back on topic. Your son has some great toons to color there!!

I cant get this goofy smile off of my face. WOW it feels so good to know that
I have inspired someone to get back into art. <---See I still cant shake it...lol.

Okay I'm done with Ice. E The first is the version for your son to color, and the other is my finished version. This was so much fun I have decided to do one of your sons characters everymorning as a warm up. Starting this tuesday because this weekend is our 6 year wedding anniversary


Ice E Inked

Ice E Colored

Hey Static this is what I have so far. Its just a rough sketch of 6 of the characters and the boy. I will work on it more in my spells of free time. I hope you like it...


4 Static's Son

Having a son of my own I know where youre coming from Static so Ill see what I can do. Ive never really drawn in this style but hey Ill give it a shot. I have alotta work to so my time is a bit limited but hey here goes.

Thanks again guys, and Veikira I may have the perfect project for a colabo. I'll hit you in PM's with more info.

Thanks alot guys! I really had a great time working on this piece. However, full out digital painting takes quite a bit longer than the traditional comic style. I am actually working on another digital painting that will be posted very soon!

Hey guys thanks for all the wonderful comments! I uploaded a larger version so you could see a bit more detail



Large Version

Monkey I dig the way you noticed all the minute details I added. Also thanks for all of the compliments! I have a surprise for you so please check your P.M.s

Nice work! beautiful.

opefully I can get the money to do a piece .. I'll post it here because my computer is .. well hard drive is erased .. hehe don't ask.

Was thinking of getting my main villain in a picture going up against Manticore, Statesman and Synapse. I know it sounds silly and fangirlish .. cause it is ... but I was wondering can you/will you do something like that?

I know you are most likely busy ... but drop me a PM and let me know if it can or cannot be done and if it's more due to teh sexah-ness of the three heroes.

Circus thanks man, and please forgive me as I dont get to the board nearly as much as I'd like too. Check your PM's also :-)

Thanks Man! I'm doing a huge shipment on Friday, yours is going out in that batch

Truth is I had no idea MMOART was going to blow up as it has. I have orders backed up for months. I love what I do for a living! I don’t know too many people that can say that, and I just wanted to thank all of you for supporting my dreams, and giving me the privilege of illustrating your characters.


Chazz when I initially read your design description, I had no idea how to really go at it…lol! Looking at it now I do believe it’s most dynamic piece to date.

Lush, thank you for supporting all of my artistic endeavors for the last 6 years. You are a great friend and a wonderful wife. I couldn’t have dreamed up a better person to spend the rest of my days with.

Tatsu thanks for the kind words and hit me in PM so we can talk more in depth about composition, posing, etc.

Weasel yeah he's getting it...lol. Also man you have a bit more mail coming your way. Ill hit you in PM's with the details

Also I just posted a new piece Adrian Gainnes ! I love doing moody pieces like this. If you get a chance please let me know what you think.

Ill make you anavatar after i get back home :-)

Fixed! Thanks for all the kind words.

Sorry its taken me so long to reply to this post! I have been a bit swamped! I'll be posting about 4 new pieces by the end of the week so please be on the look out.
