So here's my entry piece on Fox TV Animation Art Show 10/6/11. As "Roots and Origins" being the theme of the show, I decided to make a medieval Wolverine. Why? Because I'd like to think that Wolverine from the X-men is not really a secret government project that was called "Weapon-X". I'd like to think that he really came from a special breed of mutant warriors that reigned in the ancient times. So for this particular piece, I call it the "Medieval Steel". A descendant of Wolverine from medieval period and the "adamantium steel" that naturally serve as their endoskeleton.

Karimlan

2011-09-14T08:30:00.000-07:00

Here's another one that I've been working on for quite a while. I've done the rough sketch last year, cleaned the line last weekend and colored it the other day. I guess I was just too busy or too lazy to focus on it. I'm calling it "Karimlan" a filipino word meaning "darkness".

Fairy

2011-08-29T00:36:00.000-07:00

I'm trying to get back on my other love beside "animation", it's comicbook illustration. So here's a new one I made in Pen and Ink then colored in photoshop. I don't know what to call it yet, so, for now I'll just call it the Fairy Pinup.

Character study

2011-08-11T01:31:00.000-07:00

2011-07-27T13:36:00.000-07:00

Here's a study that I made for some snow storm scenes that I'm working on in Family Guy.

Kid rough sketch

2011-07-19T19:43:00.000-07:00

I's been a while since I posted, so here's a little sketch I made on toonboom pro.

2010-07-15T13:12:00.001-07:00

Just a quick breaktime sketch.

Character design

2010-06-09T22:44:00.000-07:00

Some character designs I've been developing since last year.

Batman

2010-05-26T19:08:00.000-07:00

Okay here's my first try on Batman. Very rough though. I was actually thinking of putting a villain on the foreground but I don't know what happened. What was I thinking....I dunno..that sucks...

AK-47S

2010-03-11T16:39:00.001-08:00

School Time

2010-02-23T11:09:00.003-08:00

Swamp Creature

2010-02-23T08:52:00.000-08:00

I started on this sketch never really knowing what to make, that's why the creature's anatomy is somehow odd because I really don't know what to draw at first. It's another case of "let the pencil guide you" thing I guess.

2010-02-15T13:54:00.000-08:00

2010-02-12T19:10:00.000-08:00

Mountain Warrior

2010-02-08T16:55:00.000-08:00

Okay, here's a character that I plan to just sketch but I got carried away and finished the whole thing.

The Guardian

2010-02-08T16:49:00.000-08:00

Here's another one that I painted in photoshop last year and forgot to post, haha, I'm getting old.

2010-02-08T16:44:00.000-08:00

This one.....again, just killin' time.

Maranao Princess

2010-02-08T16:33:00.000-08:00

I thought I had this one posted already but anyway, this a birthday gift that I made for my wife last January 17. She always wanted to pose as a Maranao princess so here it is.

Happy Tree

2010-01-08T11:07:00.000-08:00

A quick sketch of a tree outside my office window.

Happy Halloween to all!

Stuffs I'm working on

2009-03-11T13:53:00.000-07:00

Characters that I'm currently working on right now.

Devocation

2008-09-18T06:38:00.001-07:00

Let's pause for while and enjoy some music... My friend Ash who's also my son's guitar teacher has finished his album and will be releasing it in the market soon. In the meantime, let's hear it from this brilliant musician here...JIMMY ASH

Lapu-Lapu

2008-08-29T09:32:00.000-07:00

Pete, a friend of mine asked me to make him a drawing of Lapu-Lapu as an "Angel Warrior" to use for his tattoo.

Lapu-Lapu was a warrior king who killed Ferdinand Magellan in the battle of Mactan, a small island south of the Philippines.

Here's Pete's tattoo of his angel warrior idol.

Fire and Ice

2008-08-07T09:36:00.000-07:00

Robo- Cat

2008-08-01T12:18:00.000-07:00

Another vintage drawing from "the file".

Daniel

2008-07-31T14:32:00.000-07:00

And of course it wouldn't be fair for my son if I don't post this portrait of him when he was 4 yrs old.

Isabella

2008-07-31T10:58:00.000-07:00

Here's a portrait I made for my daughter Isabella, she was only 6 yrs old during that time. It is a 9x12 oil on canvas.

Danny Phantom

2008-07-22T11:33:00.000-07:00

A sketch I made for a Danny Phantom title card.

Luna

2008-07-17T13:52:00.000-07:00

Again, nothing to do but play around with my old drawing. Luna here is a "looney". Who knows what she's capable of, I also wanna find out. Maybe sometime I can do more drawings of her and experiment and explore more of her character.

Gladiator

2008-07-14T13:56:00.000-07:00

Here's an old gladiator drawing that I sketched in pencil. It was supposedly for a video game that never happened. I found it in my old drawings file, played around with it in photoshop to make it more interesting to look at, and, here it is...

Nosferatu

2008-07-11T13:00:00.000-07:00

An old sketch I made in the spirit of halloween. This was inspired by the movie "Nosferatu". I think he is the coolest vampire ever created.

Darna!

2008-07-11T10:49:00.000-07:00

I thought I'd start my post with this old drawing of mine that I made in 2001. The actual drawing was inked on a tracing paper and colored it under with color pencils and placed it on a painted BG to create the feel and look of an actual cel art. I later on enhanced it in photoshop.

This is my cartoon version of "Darna", a Filipino counterpart of "Wonder Woman". Darna was originally created as a comic book superhero of Mars Ravelo in the 50's . It's about a young disabled girl named "Narda" who turns into a superwoman everytime she swallows the "myterious stone" from outer space and shout her name backwards like "DARNA!".

This comicbook superhero also made it to films and played by numerous actresses in the Philippines. I hope I've done justice to her in this version I made.

Finally, I have one!!

2008-07-11T10:14:00.000-07:00

I've been visiting and looking at all kinds of blogs in the internet for quite a while and thought it's cool to have my own spot also. Unfortunately due to the nature of my work, the plan of having one remains a plan for two years. My friends and fellow artists have been pushing me to do it for a long time, and it needs for me to really be out of work to finally have the time and work on my own blog. I'll start posting my old drawings first and then the new ones later. So, here goes!
