Mon Ami

A very quick sketch of Gambit from x-men. I asked my friends to give me a character and I would draw them. One friend told me to draw Gambit. I wasn't very sure  but I tried to remember what he looks like:

Basketball Gestures

It's been a while since I last sketched. Went back to basics and did some gesture drawings of basketball players:

Sat in front of the computer. Googled NBA. Sketched.

Here's a rendered version of the above gesture:

The Detective

I've been on an uploading hiatus recently because I've been so busy doing clean-ups of the animations for my short film. I needed a break so I practiced designing my own character. This is what I came up with. I call him "The Detective":

The Detective is a kind hearted police/detective who helps anyone in need. He is very casual, he wears only plain shirts and jeans, along with his brown loafers. I think I was inspired to do a police officer character because I've been watching the TV show Dexter lately, and I've been playing the game L.A. Noire again. (Both have detectives in them) If I ever have the time after I finish my current short film, I would like to make another animated short in the future and I would love to design new characters and write a new story. I can see me animating The Detective along with other characters I would design. I can even see him voiced by the guy who voices Officer Joe Swanson in the TV Series, Family Guy. I think that voice would be a great fit for The Detective.

Marianing!

Here's a fan art I did of one of my friend's upcoming animated short entitled "Marianing". Many others posted their artworks of Mariano, who is the main character, in their own styles. Here is my version of him:

Here's my work progress on Mariano:

Originally, I intended for one of Mariano's enemies to be in the background along with him. Here is my version and work progress of the "Aswang":
