Ignazio Planetary

So a while back me and my friends were bored and decided to work on a video. It never actually got to go through to completion but in the process a great character came about. His name is Ignazio Ikuto. This is one of the beginning sketches of the character. Not my favorite drawing. It all started with this goofy wig I bought. My friend Humberto tossed it on and ideas began to spill out. With all the things we were spit balling,(one of the things being how he is an Italian, Japanese hitman) he evolved to this character.






The next sketch is where I tried for a different style, more of my style to be honest. The previous one was me attempting something different. This is more of a cartoony thing but it works and he still looks like someone to not mess with. It came out how I pictured it and I stuck with this one so I continued with it.







This is a turn around of Ignazio Ikuto. One of the only tough guys to totally pull off purple hair. It was done on paper in sketches and scanned and inked in Adobe Photoshop. It was definitely fun to work on him. Don't meet up with him in any dark alleys.

Chibi Character Rampage

So for quite a bit of time I needed to get back into creating some new drawings or character designing of some kind. I couldn't think of anything new, you know a kind of road block I guess. One thing I always remebered was that I wanted to do character designs based on some of my friends and that's when it hit me. "I'll just do that, but chibi (Small Person/Super deformed) versions of them!" I' have a huge passion for anime, well the good form of anime and chibi like characters are immensely fun to draw.

So I began with my friend Ryan. I always first sketch the drawing out on paper, then ink it in. I prefer using Prismacolor pens/markers. Once all the ink dries off, I have a great time (sarcastic) erasing the left over pencil marks. Scanning the drawing is the next step, then vector-zing it is the next key step for me. Then some good times inking it in color using photoshop. Mess with some effects and what not. BAM!, its done.

Here is one of my friend Humberto.

The next one is my friend Lawrence but we call him Brooklyn. Its fun having nicknames.

This last one is of Humberto's Sister, Nidia.
