Against my better judgement.

Im gonna post some crap from my crap.


an image of Abraxas im working on.



the art i did for the band Integrity.

[Ovad]

looks pretty good, post some more for a better observation from the ppl around here

[JSS13]

will do, alot of my stuff is done for crappy band shirts so im kinda embarrassed with all these guys doing insane portraits and stuff.

[Ovad]

dont be ridiculous, were all meeting here for the cause of learning something new and enjoing ourselves

[JSS13]

OK This next group is from when i tried to get my commission skills up, i had a bunch of people suggest random wierd stuff and i gave myself 30 minutes to do each one.

[JSS13]

The island of lost souls, these guys were started and never finished because i decided i hated them and through a hissy fit.

This guy i loved at first but then i hated how the wolf came out and lost interest.






This thing was a thumbnail concept for my bands last record, i changed my mind last minute with the direction i wanted to go and shit canned it.




This was for a band called "Throat" first ep. i lost the final artwork so yeah..
i hate the blood it looks syrupy and the the wound is so ridiculous the head would be falling off...but i guess i was going for thrashy and ridiculous..blah blah blah this is an entire mess.




this was for the band Rot in Hell from scotland, i think they hated it because they never got back to me after i sent over this initial mock up.
did this is bic ball point.





This is um...i dunno.. a thing?i think i had just finished watching pans labyrinth when i drew this? or just the Labyrinth? no idea.

Nice posts, i like your design level, your shapes are quite appealing.
id like to see some more colors in your works and maybe more space... the characters kind of trapped in the frame (?), just enlare the background.
the wheels in the trycicle are not fully round, make em more exact, i know ill appeciate that
keep em coming

[JSS13]

i guess these are done or mostly done, or some version of doneness.

done.

this was for my friends band fleshtemple.

this is pencil > micron > corel x






this was for the band "THE CASTLE IS A TOMB" which is probably my favorite band name.



this is a cartoony version of Leviathon vs Behemoth which is kinda funny when you think about it.




i was asked to draw...a zombie coming out of a toxic waste barrel drinking coke, for the band "DEATH RIGHT"




this was another zombie (a common request from bands nowadays) eating maggots with its eyes sewn shut, i thought the eye thing was corny but whatevs, they paid up front. (46 minutes)

[JSS13]

i forgot this guy for the unfinished losers section,

its called "CRAZY BABY STEALIN' WIZARD"



i dont know why i didnt finish this guy, but i think im gonna now.

[JSS13]

i simultaneously suck epically at color and coloring.

these are my failboat attempts at learning.

i try to teach myself by looking at todd lockwood paintings which is kind of like trying to learn to play bass by listening to Rush.

i hate Rush.

ANYWAY...BEHOLD AND DESPAIR!





this was a drawing for a story i was writing, which got shit canned and thusly this drawing got shitcanned, i kinda managed to do some texture stuff which i was happy with. not so much the final result as the progress of my texture work.

i totally agree but as the idea was to keep all the drawings in the 30 minute frame, alas, i cannot edit them.

No, they will be worn as my badge of shame and torture me for the rest of my days.

[Ovad]

rock on hehe, your style remind me alot of a punk rock graffiti im seeing... really fun stuff!
as always i suggest to keep on exercising anatomy and life, the real progress almost always come from there
gl!

[JSS13]

thank you very much, i suppose my background is almost completely from the punk rock arts so, well done!

i will indeed keep at it.

[JSS13]

I like the graphic sense in these. They must make good t-shirt designs. The Abraxas pic is getting good, I like it. Keep posting and we'll get some proper crits in. I think those character paints are pretty good, but they're flat looking. More practice, same as us all.
