    With the announcement of the new iPad I got to thinking how awesome a high quality ebook could be.

    The screen size is perfect for viewing some HD sketches and paintings etc and you could zoom in and possibly have some funky features to go with it.  I have to admit I was hoping the announcement was for Apples version of the Cintiq-paired with their Macbook Pro(sort of like an official Modbook)  But maybe this is still a possibility is some form via a Sketchbook Pro app with a stylus(like they have for iPhones?)

    Anyways, I'm just thinkin outloud here-and chiming in on the buzz.  I would love to hear your thoughts about this new $499-$829 iPad gizmo!

    cheers!

    *edit--HAHA whoops did Steve Jobs happen to see this?

  3. I did a tiny bit of organizing the iMac and found some Capcom warmup sketches I didn't post but meant to.  I wasn't sure they were strong enough as single posts so I opted for a cut'n'pastor group post.

    Hopefully since they're posted all at once it fools your brain with quantity over quality? haha

    So there's stuff from Darkstalkers and Streetfighter IV-the abandoned collage that will probably never get done and studies for the Darkstalkers comic.  The rest are randoms either from my head or reference from my favourite Streetfighter artbook !

  4. New Subconscious Drawing! (WIP)

    I've been workin on this one whenever I go to bed and can't sleep -either too wired from a busy day at the drawing boar--er tablet... or having that one extra cup o' joe or whatever reason.

    I started drawing on the back of a failed Darkstalkers page with a ballpoint pen.  I kind of stared at the blank page until I saw something-an eye or a tooth or a spikey whatever- and traced it-as soon as I finished with that part I would stop until the next vision came and so on.  I call this type of drawing subconscious drawing because I put pen to paper only when I successfully blank my mind for a few seconds and trace.

    Needless to say these completed drawings take time.  There is a certain mindset needed to make them and I'm not always able to get there.  So far this one has existed for a month or so and considering its at the bottom of a comic board(11x17) standing vertically-It'll be awhile before it's all done.

    I love these drawings because they tend to entertain me-as I have no (conscious) idea of what's coming.  It's as if I'm watching someone else draw.  Weird? maybe...or maybe I'm delusion from lack of sleep and too much coffee...but whatever the reason these are wicked fun!

    I hope to finish a bunch of these up and include them in a 2o10 sketchbook for the con season.  Either a standalone subconscious drawing book or if I don't get enough done,  just part of another book.  I guess time will tell huh?

    ok back to crunch time


    cheers!

  6. Capcom is renowned for it's legendary artwork from an amazing lineup of games including the Streetfighter series and equally epic Mega Man series.

    I was obsessed as a kid with anything they pumped out because of the extremely high quality work that came from their artists.

    Capcom is still a huge influence on me decades later and hopefully decades more.  Here's some tasty treats from my favourite gaming provider.
    First up, some game deals!! $10 game credit from Amazon!

    * Tatsunoko VS Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars !  Pre Order this game for you Wii and get your $10 game credit!  Sa weetoh!  I'm pretty eager to check out Morrigan in 3D and play some gotchamon goodness haha.  I'm still in disbelief this franchise made it over the pond, I guess time's are a changing!  I'm hoping for a tasty sweet artbook on this game too.   PS. yours truly even did one of the endings ;) woots!














    here's a game that I've had an eye on since SDCC 2yrs ago.  * Dark Void looks like some good times.  A new franchise that is lookin to have some promise!  It is available on * Xbox * PS3 and * PC also all on Amazon and also with the $10 game credit if you preorder! booyah
















    Next up some awesome artbooks!

    Who's got some Mega luvin' for some Mega Man!  er wait... Udon is known for their high quality publishing from their comics to their beautiful full colour artbooks.  One of the most anticipated by Mega Man fans has got to be these 2 tasty treats!*  Mega Man: Official Complete Works and * Mega Man X: Official Complete Works which both feature character designs, box & promo art, and even some rare art to satisfy those mega um...cravings?
      














    and as mentioned in a previous post *SF20:The Art of Streetfighter artbook is a must have!! 320 pgs of pure awesome sauce-it's actually my favourite streetfighter reference book because it sorts the art by the artist and even has artist comments on most pages!! So if you're like me and love Capcom work and weren't 100% sure who did what art this is the book for you.















    You can still order  * SF20 from Amazon for a mere $26.39! That’s more than 1/3 off the cover price! Streetfighter 4 concept art!! go get!

    whew that was a lot of linkin...now I know why they say pimpin aint easy...haaha
    oh well it's all worth it, after all Capcom, Streetfighter and Mega Man are all huge sources of artistic inspiration!

    cheers!
