Two more nights of sketching. I think I’m getting close.
I want Skeletor to have that Alien in Ripley’s face claustrophobic feel. I also want him to exude the creepy magician vibe combined with the artistic, spooky flair of Mr.Gone’s cape from the Maxx. He has also been enbiggened to a threatening demon boss size so he’s not just He-Man with blue skin and a different head.
I present to you the beginnings of another 80′s nostalgia art piece; inspired this morning by another nerdy conversation with co-worker Mike. We’d run across this Masters of the Universe Tribute Art Show at G1988 a few weeks ago, and upon looking at all this awesomeness I realized that I hecka wanted to do a MoTU drawing.
Fact: I have a giant Skeletor statue in my cube.
Fact #2: I’m the coolest guy at work.
Self-Portrait November 2009
Topical Humor! I hope the handful of you reading my blog enjoy this. Or maybe you feel a bit awkward looking at this picture? Sweet.
I’m not defending or condoning a man’s choice to depict himself as a centaur. I think it’s a shame I hadn’t thought of it myself. Funny enough, I’m also a Sagittarius. Take note ladies, that means I have a thirst for knowledge and adventure as well as that bow and arrow shooting, half man half horse deal. Giggity.
I also missed the Nov 1st – Self-Portrait day event at conceptart.org, so I’ll consider this a personal late entry, if only slightly altered from reality. Side note: I only made myself that ripped because of all the galloping and archery I’d obviously be doing if I was a centaur.
I'm an illustrator and flash developer with 10 years of professional experience. I have a diverse range of interests and skills from traditional illustration, 3D modeling, web development, game design, and video editing.
I am also learning how to cook. Hopefully a healthy diet and exercise will offset the hours in front of the computer. So far my friends really enjoy my eggrolls and jalepeno/cheese stuffed hotdogs wrapped in bacon. The healthy dishes will be coming soon...
