Was really tired today so I just rough sketched a mountain on a cliff using the brush pen. The cliff castle looked lonely so I decided to add a moon and the mountains behind.

To me, one of the most influential pieces of media since I was a kid was Dragon Ball (specifically the original Dragon Ball). Even now I love going back to both the manga and the anime. It always lifts my spirits and inspires me in the sense of wonder, spirit/motivation and also as an artist. It’s always great meeting others with like interests. And I could see all the influences of pop culture that I also enjoy. This being popular action movies from Hollywood (such as Terminator, Alien). But my interest has always been Hong Kong martial arts movies, specially those by Jackie Chan. Seeing homages to that was always a great treat, making enjoying Dragon Ball even more fun. Akira Toriyama’s legacy will always live on and will continue to influence more people in the times to come. Thank you for guiding us in this amazing adventure.

You know, it’s funny. I just learned that the English name for a marigold is cempasuchil. On top of that after watching the play Marigold where Meimi stars in, I learned that in the language of flowers it means despair. But that seems to be in the Victorian meaning, because for us Mexicans it means purity, divinity, and the connection between life and death. It is said to be a gift by the Sun God and helps lead the dead with it’s scent.
In any case, another year has passed. It’s been a tough one but I hope that things will finally start getting better in this coming year. Either way, there’s no other option than to keep going at it.

I wanted a fun and cute drawing today. Having a solid black background really helps it all pop out. Now because the night sky is solid black, I decided to hatch Marisa’s hat and clothes in order to fill them in but also have them contrast against the solid background.
Three more days to go…

This is the background for a piece I have ready for Halloween. I want to make more since I am always late in working on seasonal themes.

A quick drawing to commemorate the day. Feliz dia de los muertos! This year sure was something. Hopefully this next year brings greater things.

Happy Birthday Airi!
I really love her solo music, I’m so glad others agree and her popularity has been increasing.
I’m quite late doing this painting but I have been quite busy lately. I also didn’t want to do a subpar painting either. I used references of her birthday pictures (from her instagram) for this painting. Her photos are always so fun. Surprisingly the balloons were not hard to paint at all. It was Airi that I felt I couldn’t get right.

I finally colorized this drawing. I had planned to do so sooner… but I finally got to it. What I had in mind was going for a Ukiyo-e style. I went for a simple painting style and then texturized with with some layers I overlaid upon it.

Another year has ended and a new one has just begun. Let’s give it our best this year as well.
Feliz Dia De Los Muertos!

I tried doing another piece using photographs as the “paint”. My brother actually suggested I made one with Gengar when he showed me that photo I mentioned before (when I made Lynn Minmey). Also here is the artist and the picture I mentioned name is kotetsu_of (link will take you to the artists instagram).
I’ve always been a fan of this Pokemon and it’s previous evolutions.
With that said here is the finished piece:
