"The Best Star Pilot in the Galaxy"

After this week's episode of Kenobi, I decided to go back and watch the 2D Clone Wars once again.

Everytime I watch it, I feel like a kid again, watching the 3 minute mini-episodes on Cartoon Network. My family were huge Samurai Jack fans - so when we found out that Gendy was working on the Clone Wars, we just had to see it.
We were lucky enough to grab the DVDs of both volumes of the series not long after its debut. The hours I spent rewatching that series...

So here we are, nearly 20 years later and I'm right back to being a kid again. Anakin's Azure Angel Starfighter always captivated me. The style of the whole show, the direction and storytelling, all of it. Just incredible.

And I thought it would be cool to try my F-Zero drawing format with a different series. Needless to say Im in love with it.

Back to work on Astronaut Highschooler Issue. 2!!

Been a rough few months of not being able to stay motivated for all of my projects. It's been tough. However! Taking an entire weekend off of work and just for myself(first time in MONTHS), I'm finding myself motivated once again! Don't underestimate the recharge, folks!

Testing out some rotoscoping animation, practicing for a future project!

Rotoscoping animation (for those who don't know) is animating over existing video - so for this, I actually put my Ren-Fest cloak on and filmed myself walking. Then, I went frame by frame and traced over it. It was a lot of fun, but dang was it tedious. The 2nd shot (walking toward the camera) ran into some problems, so I decided to go with fewer frames. Having a reliable video to work off of is very important. All part of the learning experience!

"Chapter 6: Falcon! You've Come to Die?"
This is probably my favorite panel I did for the F-Zero GX World Record Holder Poster!
-
There were 9 panels in total, one for each chapter of the game. This was the only panel of the 9 that featured a scene from outside the race. It was a great time to recreate the cutscene in my own approach.

More sketches for the upcoming Lucky 33 Comics racing comic!
We are really going wild with designs and inspiration.

Image one: The announcers of the race - Roger and Richard (possible name change in the future). These guys are quite the pair.

Image two: (Top) background racer designs. Feeling very Tron-inspired! (Bottom) Roger and Richard's announcer desk is within a billiard ball helicopter that can also turn into a submersible!

Concept art for an upcoming project from Lucky 33 Comics!

Essentially, we are bringing together concepts from F-Zero, Speed Racer, Wacky Races, and MarioKart. The idea of having a variety of vehicles and some fun landscapes all in a short comic is a perfect storm for endless creativity.

It's been a while since I just doodled.
I've been working on so many projects and jobs that I tend to forget to make art time for just myself.

And I feel frustrated for breaking my biggest rule - "always sketch and practice to improve your skills". This is an artist staple rule. But I'm glad to be back on this track, focusing my efforts to exploring and learning.

I'm excited to improve with everyday ahead ☺

Having an absolute blast working on "Mittens: Space Pilot" with SeerNova Comics! @seernovacomics

We are taking inspirations from Star Wars (lots of Mandalorian) and Star Fox! I'm bringing in some noir themes, a bit of western, and a whole lot of scifi.
