HellBlazin'

Just threw together a John Constantine illustration to practice my black spotting and brush-inking skills.
Not much else to say other than enjoy....

X-MEN pages...from my sister's couch :S

These are two X-MEN pages I did based on the Uncanny X-Men 500 script. They are unrelated to each other in that they are not both part of the same sequence. It's just a dialogue page and an Action page.
Im not entirely satisfied with them, but in my defense I drew them mostly sitting on my sister's couch with no real table to work on. 3 point perspective can be tricky even under better conditions. At any rate here they are. Enjoy.

The song of Jiao-Long

Yet another piece of concept art. This time it is of the Chinese emperor's pet velociraptor, mistakenly believed to be a dragon, and named Jiao-Long. It was said that the emperor would consult Jiao-Long on matters concerning the state, and the "dragon's" response would come in the form of a bellowing cry. The key to determining it's meaning was closely related to the time of day at which Jiao-Long decided to sing. The hour of the dragon was the most auspicious time, the hour of the Rooster however, forbode bad tidings.
Seen here with one of "The Eight Dragon Masters", personal guards and handlers assigned by the emperor himslef, Jiao-Long wails to the valley below.

The image was done in Photoshop, start to finish. I only did grayscaling due to my other commitments having precedence time wise, but I think it came out nicely. Ill color it one day when I have the time.

Ask not for whom Jiao-Long sings....He sings for you.

Goblin Big Boss

I saw this topic over at C.A. and couldn't resist having a go at it. It's supposed to be the big bad-guy from a goblin gun-slinger world...so I came up with this guy: armed with two 16-gauge automatic pistols that are belt-fed from twin 100-round drums mounted on a harness. The harness also has a back part which acts like a pistol magazine, but instead of single bullets it dispences fresh 100-round drums. When the Goblin Big Boss runs out of ammo from the current drums, he pulls them off, reaches back and grabs two more over his shoulders from the loader and clips them to the front of his harness feeding the belts into his guns to continue firing.
Here's the pic..I went analog on this cuz I knew if I started a digital painting it would have taken me a lot longer to do, and Im busy...very busy with other projects...but all work and no play makes Claudio a dull boy......ergo... :D
See y'all later.

Here, take my card...

So here it is, finally finished, my business card. Or one of them anyways ^_^ The action sequence has no particular meaning, it's pretty straight forward so I wont bother going into it :)
I did the whole thing on Photoshop and I hope to bring it to the printer's tomorrow! :D
My info will go in the white smoke area that the girl is blowing out on the "front" of the card which I had posted a while back..I just added the blood trickle to tie it in to the story.
Hope ya likes!
