Another old Metroid picture I drew. Yeah, this one took quite a while as well. I like to take my time when coloring Metroid fan art, or else my buddy Ryan would break my legs in several places. Metroid is one of those things that needs to be handled with care and worshipped. It's perfect in every way, even if the game is hard as balls to beat..well, for me anyway, and that was probably a bad comparison too...yuck.Labels: Animated, Anime, Metroid, Mother Brain, Nintendo, Samus, Samus Aran, Zebes
When Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii was announced, and they had Samus, in her Zero suit...Samus fanart from all over the place started popping up. I even got my own little gallery on this Metroid fansite. Anyway, I wanted to do something I hadn't done in a LONG time...completely digitally watercolor one of my sketches in Painter 5. Yeah, I know, I need to upgrade, but like I always say...if it ain't broken, don't fix it. This picture took me hours upon hours upon hours to finish because I was being a total perfectionist about my colors. This picture has generated almost 5,000 pageviews in my DeviantArt gallery...that's probably one of my most viewed pieces of artwork. I think I somewhat deserved it, lol.Labels: Alien, Metroid, Nintendo, Samus, Samus Aran, Sci-Fi, Zero Suit Samus
So recently I'd been coloring pinups for my friend Robbie Allen. I've known Robbie for some years now and every now and then I hit him up on AIM or on DeviantArt. Well, after coloring about 5 of his Capcom fan-art pieces, he asked if I'd like to be his official colorist for his comic strips. Being the most awesome interstellar creature in the galaxy that I am, of course I agreed. This is the top panel of the strip, which is a parody of two things. I won't show any more of it cause you'll no doubt be able to see the whole thing over at Robbie's site, Artificial Orange.
I'm also working on logo designs for Robbie's studio as well, so I'm gonna be quite busy...quite busy indeed. And Ghostbusters on PS3 doesn't help my situation either, lol!
