Quick doodle with a brush pen.
Took a horrible photo with my phone and added color on photoshop.
The whole process took me less than 10 minutes.

Acrylic on Canvas. The title comes from a comment someone made the first time a posted this a long time ago. I gave it to a friend that lives in Brasil when she came to visit.

Photoshop again. Trying some concepts for a flash game I’ve been working on for while.

Photoshop. Still messing around with the brushes. Sunglasses inspired by a scene on one of the first star trek episodes. Not half as cool as the original…

This one is acrylic on canvas. Kinda big. About 150cm tall. I gave this to someone as a gift. If only I could remember who it was…

The first version of this drawing was sans-penguin. I added the little guy later. Found it hiding in an old sketchbook. I was really satisfied with how the gun turned out. The penguin’s texture actually came from a penguin photo from google images. Not sure if that’s cheating or not. Oh, well…

Another photoshop doodle. This one was really quick. Was trying my hand with some fancy brushes. The goo on the green guy’s face was an afterthought but I think it really added to the piece. Love how ambiguous the whole scene looks.

Not really sure about his teeth, but I liked the way his tongue came out in the end. Not sure about the crazy bird either.

I think it’s the first time I use this much pink.

Photoshop. Took me about a week. Not used to working for so long on the same piece. Used some photographic reference for the background and the beetle parked outside. Also did some pencil sketching for the guy with the ‘fro. My favorite bit is the dino guy’s mouth. The blue dude’s left hand looks like crap.
