Sorry folks. effective immediately, I'm deleting several works and keeping only a few bits.

Only a few members will have access to the concept art.

I did scripts for Act I and II, which means the story is about 2/3s done in a draft form. Once the second and "finalize" version is done, I will begin the copyright of the script for my usage. Psst me in a note for any questions.

effective immediately, no original work will be posted on Deviantart. All my comics, characters, stories and 3D art will be displayed in my website and others as well.

I am also expiring my membership and leaving links behind for future use.

That is all

Last week was a busy week with work, house cleaning, and preparation for comic Con in Albany. A good friend of mine gave me an “assignment” which was creating a 5 page comic without bubble letters. He wants to see if I was capable of telling a visual storytelling with the use of panels.




I consume an entire week redoing the script of my story and create a step-by-step list of what I need to do, then I went to Comic-Con in Albany.




This was my first Comic-Con and I enjoyed it a lot! I saw great cosplayers who posed as Star Wars Bounty hunters, Storm Troopers, Harley Quin, and Spiderpunk. I also saw a lot of old school toys and collectibles, Some which are pretty pricey. But the best experience was taking the time and speaking with the artists and comic book writers:




Graham Nolan – creator of Bane

Joe Station – Dick Tracy

Paul Harding- designs sculptures

Christain N. St. Pierre




I spoke of their experience with being comic-book artists as well as sharing my art (my mother had my copies shown to a lot of people without me knowing, which is unexpected ). I got praises for the work I did as well as critiques and suggestions. Many of them like the direction I was going, but strongly emphasizes on panel layout (use big ones for large events, and small for the little stuff). As for characters, while not perfect, their anatomy is good. I guess I'll check out some poses and anatomy with Daz3d than to use a wooden mannequin. Best of all, I showed a time line of my 2002-2005 artwork to show the growth of my work.




I finish drawing an OC character of mine, Jeager. I stop using Paint Tool Sai and went back to Adobe Photoshop as the means to draw. I was planning to invest on a new tablet with a screen, seeing how much I hate drawing on a small tablet and running over the edges.





Last thing that I have to say is that I'm motivated and happy that I went to comic con, it freshes my mood and enforces my desire to do Graphic novels. I'll see you guys next week. Oh, and please check the pages and if you have questions or want to offer suggestions, feel free to contact me

Website has been updated, showing my art styles and a main art gallery to display my work. In addition, I have work on comic pages, doing paneling placements thanks to Manga Studios and more. I'm also working on building a Dystopian Cairo, an abandoned oil platform, and Sinai for a story. In addition, and my favorite, project and making monsters. I'm making an "Orge" and a "giant, mutated man-eating Scarab."

As Qyburn has said in Game of Thrones, the work continues...
