Robot Illustration Friday

I like drawing robots, as I got to this point in drawing this robot it dawned on me that it looked kind of like Iron Man, so I stopped drawing it.

Hope y'all like?

Design a skin contest for xbox360 game Kameo

Came across this contest and thought I'd pass on the info, Kameo is an Xbox360 game, this contest gives you the chance to design a character, there are 11 winning spots.
If yours is a winning entry it will be made downloadable to hundreds if not thousands of xbox live members.
Seems farely simple, with huge exposure payout.
For more info go to Xbox360 Kameo Contest

Jay Anacleto and Greg Capullo

I haven't been able to find proper websites for them, these are the closest I could get to official sites, Jay Anacleto and Greg Capullo .
Jay Anacleto is a penciller, I love his pencil work. Greg Capullo did a lot of work on the Spawn comics, his work has so much detail, I used to spend ages just soaking it in.
With both these artists I think I spent more time looking at the art work than actually reading the comics.

Just a couple more people who inspire me.

Forgotten tattoo design

Saw a friend I hadn't seen for awhile and noticed a few tattoo lines poking out from his t-shirt sleeve, I asked him if he'd gotten a tattoo, he lifted his t-shirt sleeve up and saw his full shoulder tattoo that was in progress, it seemed familiar to me and I asked him where he got the design from and he said "you". LOL I had totally forgotten I had drawn something for him. What I drew was the basic out line for the design, the tattoo artist is filling it in with patterns that pertain to my friends cultural background, She's doing a very nice job too.

Need to get some pictures.

Martin Emond one of my favorite artists

Martin Emond died awhile back, I've always linked his art, just thought I'd let y'all know who some of my inspirations are.

Airbrush artist at 2hot2handle

Went to a car show yesterday and they had an airbrush artist named Tony Vowles painting the hood of a car, I spent a good 20 minutes watching him apply his technique to the hood, soaking up every little technique I could see, his work was amazing... So amazing I forgot to take some photos, he had one of Clint Eastwood and another of Bob Marley that were absolutely beautiful.
I always relish seeing artists in action applying their art, I always learn so much from it.

Oooo I don't need photos, I found the website Airbrushventuri.com , he runs courses in teaching the art.

The hood he was painting was the prize in a radio competition, I think.

Speed Illustration Friday

I like this kind of speed... Blurry, photoshoped, I hope I'm getting better with photoshop, needs me some more practice.

Big name art guy makes me nervous

I'm a little bit nervous today, someone I met has recently offered to show my work to a big name person down here ( wont say who it is encase they hate my work), It's taken me completely by surprise. I have a day to put together a nice folio, if by chance he wants to employ me or something it means taking on a job that is probably like 6am - 11pm and I'm not huge fan of those kind of hours. I'm a very introverted artist and I find it hard to do work for others, I usually draw for myself (that's probably why I don't make much money out of it, LOL).

This dudes pretty famous and I don't know if I can handle this type of pressure.
