The Women of Ghetto Harbor

2011-11-13T22:27:00.001-05:00

This is the NSFW sketch I was talking about earlier. These are the three main characters for an adult series called the Ghetto Harbor Hoez. In the center is Dyone, the voyeur and leader of the Hoez. She LOVES being watched. To the right, her left is Brianna, the Blowjob Queen. She can give head so fast that her head becomes invisible! And finally to the left and Dyone's right is Cinna, the Schoolgirl Dominatrix. Her eyes always covered by her hair, but if you see them, then technically you're fucked to the highest level.

Please note that this is a sketch and I will work the kinks out in the next few days. Trying to design the girls in their regular outfits and such.

The character that started it all

2011-11-13T15:33:00.001-05:00

This is my FIRST character I ever created and stuck with from 1994 to 2009. Yes, over the span of the fifteen years I wrote 18 seasons and that spanned almost every year of his life. This character name is Ninichiro (Nin) Takahashi. His original name was Nin Tendo. Why you might ask? Simple. Nin was originally created to be a fanfic character for my (still to this day) favorite anime series all of time; Ranma 1/2. Nin was supposed to be a cousin to the Tendo family in the series and that's where everything started.

I created so many characters for the fanfic, that by the second of the second book, it less Ranma in it. So I did some rearranging. I changed his name from Nin Tendo to Nin Takahashi is reference to the creator of Ranma 1/2, Rumiko Takahashi. I later explained his full first name in the later years of the story.

Also, I retooled the story as well. Here's a quick rundown. The story starts off in China near a fictional village called Li-Po where a scroll was found. The scroll could give the person who read it the power of the eight elements; earth, wind, water, fire, ice, electricity, light, and darkness. But there's a catch, well two. The person reading the scroll has to either be a virgin or someone with a pure soul. Now, Nin's mother, Oxen (random name, I know), wanted the powers, but she couldn't receive the powers, so she thought to trick the scroll into giving them to her. This is where the story gets crazy as not to spoil the overall premise, but Nin gets the power and sets off one of the biggest family fueds in history where Oxen tried constantly to kill her son, but couldn't.

Over the course of the years, Nin's powers grew and he ran into some old friends and met some new ones all while spanning the globe doing what he does best, fighitng. The backstory between Nin and Oxen is a brutal one, but put it like this; they make the Mishima family from Tekken look tame with their problems and martial arts training.

This picture I'm uploading here is when he switched primary fighting styles from Chinese Kempo to Ninjutsu. That was around late 2001, I think, and I decided to put my love of the Koga and Iga ninja clans into my story, but severely twist them around for my story. Funny, how my drawing style change over the years. I'm thinking about redrawing him to see what he looks like now, nearly 10 years later.

But overall, this character became the basis for most of my actions heroes thereafter. Those who went to Peterson with me should know of him, but they don't how awesome he got after high school when I decided to let my imagination go with this one. Jet Li style fighting personality, badass, cross-trained martial artist, has a different personality within him (half-demon), family issues, the works, and that all came from him. If it wasn't for those people at Peterson and few outside of school encouraging me, I probably would given up drawing a long time ago and settle for some dead-end job. So I thank them and my character Nin for unlocking the Pandora's Box that's been trying to burst open for a while before that.

Some WIP art for everyone

2011-11-13T14:42:00.001-05:00

Hey guys.

Finally got out my writing kick for the first time in a while and wanted to some drawing and boy did I ever start.

The first is a project that me and Scott has been working on for a while and I wanted to show everyone the NSFW preview here:

This is preview for the Ghetto Harbor Hoez. Still working out the kinks, but it should be polished and first soon.

The Prologue of Bullet Kingdom

2011-08-27T21:46:00.002-04:00

I'm extremely proud my book so far and I believe that I'm halfway through it now. Here it is, the prologue of Bullet Kingdom!

Chapter 0: Prologue

Five years ago…

War ravaged across the planet of Xanadré. No matter how much I tried, I couldn’t stop the deaths of thousands upon thousands of people. We were told when we were young that the apocalypse will come in human form, a man with a large chain around his body with thirteen links. These Thirteen Links will break and will lay the initial pathway for the apocalypse known as the Ragnarok.

With that said, we all grew up believe that this “apocalypse” will happen. I never knew that I along with my sister and my twelve friends, I grew up with in the Crane Orphanage will be the keys to triggering the end of the world.

An ebony-skinned man stands on cliff overlooking a large nearby city as his brown eyes takes in the beautiful sunset. The man turns to see the three moons rising and thanks to the sun shining, a clear view of the shaved head with a hurricane-style pattern on the sides. The man is a slight muscular build and is wearing a grey, form-fitting, sleeveless shirt, which appears to have padding inside with a high neckline. His pants are charcoal black with an intricate design along the legs, and are quite loose fitting. On his hands, he wears black gloves that seem to have an open part on the back of the hand. Also on his both of his hands, he has two metal rings that completely encircle his wrists. Around his waist is a belt that has his dual gun holsters at the back. Finally, he’s wearing charcoal black combat boots with thick, fire orange soles.

He sighs; I still can’t believe it’s been five years since that day, the day where I casted myself into solitude to repent sort to speak for my actions working for Hydra. I did all of this for my sister, who went missing that day. Coriander, the name has been running through my mind everyday for the past five years. The only thing I remember is a large explosion after I fought the closest person I had to a brother and I chopped his right arm off with Cori’s sword.

The man began to walk away from the cliff and heads down the path onto a small camp nearby sunset in a meadow by a forest. A soft blew and the tree rustled in the wind and carried a scent of fresh pine for miles and miles. The man took in a deep breath and smelled the pine scent, Ah that smells nice. That’ll probably be one of the things I miss from around here. Maybe it’s time to go looking for her again. However, since that day in Hydra, I fought my hardest and still lost the battle. Since then, I made a promise to never lose my humanity again as I did while I was in Hydra. During my time there, I was known as the Cerberus of the Battlefield not only of my three gun fighting style, but also because of the reputation me and my team got. Team Six; lead by me, Chaos, was one of the most feared Teams in Hydra’s history. Thanks to my scouting skills, I put together the best group seen. Everyone in my team was given a codename because everyone was on the level as a Link in terms of power.

Even though some were my friends I had from the orphanage, I did recruit some new recruits. After our successful mission, Team Six became feared. We were called Bone Collectors, Jinxes, the Mecha Destroyers, and Ferrymen to the Afterlife to name a few things. Then, we were almost unstoppable until we were humbled and lost.

Chaos held out his hand and an image of fire appeared in front, “External-type Magic: Fire,” he calmly speaks as a small fireball shoots from his hand and hits a small pile of wood, making a fire just as night was falling. Staring into the fire, Chaos gets lost in the flame.

“Chaos! Chaos! We need you!” he hears from a distance. He snaps out of whatever trance he was in and is now appears on a battlefield. The smoke-filled red sky produces an ominous overcast as Chaos looks behind him to a great battle unfold. He begins to run to the battle but is cut off by a group of men in black knight armor, “Out of my way Deva Knights!” he demands. One knight stepped forward, “Chaos, you are to come with us!” the knight demands. Chaos reaches for his shoulder, but then remembers, Damn, I forgot the Phi was destroyed. He grins, Well then, I guess I have to rely on my faves then, he thinks. Chaos then reaches behind him and pulls out two long-barrel handguns, one is black with red trim and the other is red with black trim. With a wave of his hands, he brings them close together to his chest with one gun facing upward and the other facing downward. The Deva Knights step back, “The Alpha and Omega!” one knight exclaims.

Chaos’ expression becomes more demented as his eyes become beady and a sinister grin on his face. He looks around, “You can curse fate for bringing you to this. If you don’t let me pass, your final moments will be seeing why they call me the Cerberus of the Battlefield.” His eyes widen a bit, “Tell me where you want to get shot. If you called it within five seconds, I’ll do requests.” The Deva Knights backed up again until one stepped forward and began charging at Chaos. Scoffing, Chaos disappears and reappears in front of a knight with his gun pointed at his head, “Time’s up.” He grins as he begins firing, first by planting a bullet in the head of the Deva Knight who was unfortunate to be in Chaos’ path. Staying place, Chaos fires in every direction without looking. He extends a leg and lowers himself to perform a spin while shooting, stopping with the group of Deva Knights falling lifeless to the ground. Chaos stops in a low stance with his arms outstretched.

He looks and at the battle in front of him. Chaos twirls his guns and begins running towards it. He lets out a hot-blooded yell as he runs to the battle and fires he approaches. “Cori, I’m coming for you!” he yells as rushes to the fight.

After that, a series of events happened which cause me to disband Team Six. It’s been five years since then. I now wonder how all of them are doing now. Since I’m pretty close to Romaslica, I know that Iris has a shop called the Bladed Weapon. She’s gotten big to the point where she’s known almost throughout the world thanks to her finely crafted weapons and insanely low prices. She got shops just about everywhere now and she’s doing well for herself.

Everyone else, I’ve heard rumors about them but nothing to concrete yet to confirm. I’ve been thinking since then because I’ve gained humanity and want to atone for what I’ve done. I don’t feel bad for my past, I feel bad for leading my friends down that dark road with me.

A gentle breeze blows again and Chaos closes his eyes, “It’s a good wind,” he quietly states. He looks up at the stars at sees the many stars and many constellations in the sky. Chaos takes notice to the three full moons floating in the sky, all different shades of white. The biggest of the three was also the brightest of them all, sporting the bright white color. The middle moon was an off-white color and the smallest of the three was a dull gray. “The moons are in full view tonight. That might be a good sign,” Chaos states. He notices a shooting star fly across the sky, “Whoa, it’s been a while since I seen one of those. Almost…five years,” he pauses for thought. Rubbing his chin, “Maybe it might be time to reunite the gang. Have a family reunion sort to speak,” he states. He lies on the ground and raises his hand to the sky. Chaos stretches until his hand he couldn’t reaches no more and clenches his fist, “Tomorrow, I’ll be off.”

An long awaited update.

2011-08-27T21:44:00.000-04:00

It's been a while since I updated and wanted to post something. So far, my life has been hectic as of late, but I've been working hard on my book and trying to get back into drawing.

I'm giving everyone a taste of my book and I'm going to post the prologue in the next post!

Black Armor XD is not dead yet and it's not dying until my last breath!

Shawdra

2011-06-11T21:32:00.000-04:00

These are two pictures of a friend of mine; the one and only @superstarlady; Shawndra. I was debating on shading and going all out with this, but in the end, I felt like this was the best way to do the drawing.

To Write or to Draw? That is the question

2011-06-07T22:32:00.000-04:00

Hey guys, lately I've been in a bit of a conundrum as of late. With my new awesome job I got my money and freedom problems will be over soon, but that's not the case. As in the title, I've been torn between drawing more and writing.

I know the age old debate about people who are gifted in many areas, they get torn on what to focus on. Drawing is my first love, it's gotten me out of a depression and deal with some painful deaths in my early years. I've gotten into writing because of my lack of skills to be able to draw sequential art, which is needed for a comic artist, which is my dream. But, that artist has been sneaking out of me with these drawing sprees I have creating the characters for Bullet Kingdom as if describing them in full and utter detail wasn't good enough.

I guess there's that duality I'll just have to face as artist/writer. Lately, I've been content with character designs. I think Nomura Tetsuya is coming out of me since my designs as of late have been out of my comfort zone, but I actually like it. I know the greats do it all the time, but I wonder how do they focus. If their minds are anything like mine, they're always thinking of the next thing to make the story better or how to make one of the characters more badass than he or she is already is at that point.

I've been fighting with this for a while now, which explains my erratic posts in the art department. I might have a burst here or there, then I'll go back to writing. I know writing a novel can be hard, but I didn't know that it'll be fun and challenging at the same time. Remembering everything is the hard part. Thank GOD I got a journal so I can keep up with everything I write out the blue and the new trapper keeper I bought to keep the artwork safe.

Well, with my upcoming move to a new city and about to begin my new life sort to speak, I'll even be more sporadic than ever. I'll try to keep everyone updated.

Thanks for reading.

Another Izzy post

2011-05-29T14:37:00.000-04:00

Hey guys,

I drew this picture a while ago and didn't want to post it to my deviantART page. This is my model and good friend, Izzy in a pic she sent me a while ago to draw when I was still experimenting with pinup drawings. I think I drew maybe 3 years ago, I don't know. But anyway, enjoy.

Chaos and Kaytlin updated plus new art!

2011-05-26T21:47:00.000-04:00

Hey guys, I updated Chaos' pic from an earlier post. Now complete with a background! Enjoy with minor edit.

Embracing Life

2011-05-26T00:58:00.001-04:00

May has hit me kinda hard. Getting fired from my job, my computer crashing and almost losing everything, I'm not sure if I'm getting unemployment, to me even doubting myself. The late spring/summer months always seen to hit me with everything they got to keep my in the dumps.

Things had gotten so bad that I was debating on giving on everything, not life, just drawing and writing mostly. But I came to terms with everything and accepted my situations an embraced it. Now, it's given me a new look on life that I know it now. I've decided to focus on Bullet Kingdom 100% until things become too unbearable on me. For the most of your who don't know, I'm currently staying with my mom until she has her surgery to remove a 50+ lbs. hernia she's gotten, but those days might be coming to an end as now plan on moving out soon.

I'm 28 and haven't really done anything with my life. Never been married or have any kids. I've seen things and been places that most people get to see in their lifetimes, but that doesn't amount to a lot when I have nothing to really show for it. I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle sometimes, whether it be in life or in art. I'm trying my best to get myself notice to some extent, but that's not paying off to well. I've had some people who stumbled upon me and gave me support when I need and I thank them for that. They know who they are.

I also noticed that I don't draw as well as I used to, maybe it's from the stress of my former job and trying to find another one or worrying about my mom's upcoming surgery. I don't know really. I'm happy with what I got, but I need to get back on the professional level that I've tasted once. With time, with time.

This was just a journal to get a lot of things off my chest as I felt it building and building. I'm going to go for broke now. I know that there's some things I need to change about myself and some sacrifices will have to be made, but i gotta do what I gotta do.

Now that that's off my chest, I have some announcements. First, in about a week or two, I'm entering my good friend *Fyre-Dragon's contest to test myself on how well I can draw someone else's character and artwork. Also, I might be doing an art trade with someone, if she responds. But anyway, those are a starts. Maybe I need to start whoring myself out for commission work? It's just a thought.

If anyone read this half-rant/half-epiphany, I thank you.

Till next time.

Bullet Kingdom characters: Chaos Captain's Coat

2011-05-23T07:27:00.000-04:00

Hey everyone. Once again, I've been on the warpath with my drawings and I've been cranking them out lately. Now I drawn and colored with no major details my main character from my Bullet Kingdom book. I'm proid of the work I did, but debating on the color scheme. I need some feedback on it so I can go back an tweak the colors, but overall, I love it. I'm not ashamed of my drawing skills anymore. I honestly feel like I should have been proud a while ago, but something was holding me back.

Anyway, didn't mean to go on a tangent like that. This picture is of Chaos when he puts on his Captain's Coat from his military days in Hydra. This is basically bad ass mode activate because we get a glimpse of how he was in the military. Even though nothing really changed but him putting on a jacket, that coat basically symbolizes his leadership and his place in the Thirteen Links (another story about later.)

Hope you enjoy.

Bullet Kingdom: Chaos

2011-05-22T10:16:00.002-04:00

Finally, the main character of Bullet Kingdom! Of course his name is Chaos. He's on a search for his long-lost sister who's been missing for the past five years. This is the outfit, well basically coat, he gets halfway into the first vol.1 when he confronts his past. I'm not giving anything away, but let's just say that this is when bad ass mode activates.

Character concpet: Dyone Saunders

2011-05-19T10:44:00.002-04:00

The is a character I drew a few weeks back when me and my friend was talking about an adult-themed project and this lovely woman is one of four main characters. I haven't drawn the other three yet because of work and other stress. I threw the colors on, but might go back to shade this one.

I gotta say I'm pretty proud of what I've done. Till next time.

Bullet Kingdom: Kaytlin

2011-05-16T11:19:00.000-04:00

Hey guys, new updates on the blog! Finally! Well, after some rough patches in my life, I lost my job, but on the good news is that I can draw again and focus on my book until I get some new work coming in. Some commissions would be nice right now.

Anyway, I've uploaded some new pictures for my Bullet Kingdom book and it's my favorite character besides the main, Chaos, of course.

Here she is, the Mistress of Necroma, Kaytlin Hernandez. She's the mage of the group, but she's no ordinary mage. Kaytlin is called an Engager mage, a fighting class mage who uses martial arts with magic. Also, she has a very foul mouth on her, but this is not her true. Believe it or not, she's 24 years old, just sealed in a child's body for protection. Will get the colored version up asap.

Till next time!

It's been a while since I updated this thing

2011-05-13T22:31:00.000-04:00

Like the title says, it's been a while since I updated the blog mainly because of work. Now, that I don't have one anymore, I guess I got some free time until I find another job to get me by. I know I've been promising new pics and stuff like that, but Radio Shack wouldn't let me have the free time to do so. Now, I'm working on some new stuff. I know I've said that before, but I'm honestly working on everything now. So wish me luck on my next venture into the unknown.

Got some test pictures to post finally

2011-03-27T22:42:00.000-04:00

Hello everyone, been writing a lot lately to get my book publish and hopeful that it's a best seller, but that hasn't stopped me from doing a little drawing. Trying to catch up with all my back projects and my hectic work schedule is doing a number on me sleeping, but if I achieve my goal, it'll be all worth it. Anyway, let's get the pictures. First off is a pic I'm doing for a guy a met at Radio Shack buying DVDs, I showed him my business card and he asked me to draw his CD cover for his album. Although flattered, I personally don't think my skill is good enough. I'll let the people decide that.

Here's the first one: The Lineart

The Colored Version with Flame aura

The next version without the Flame aura, the fire just focused on the arms.

The first version with a concert background

The last version I did so far with a different view of a concert crowd.

Some oldies, but goodies from myself and Scott

2011-01-28T01:36:00.000-05:00

Hey guys, found some old stuff that my buddy Scott created a while ago and I'll be posting up the pics to see these oldies but goodies. I'm not going into detail with the pics until later because I'm ultra sleepy and don't know if I'll be able to remember everything about the many different projects I'm posting up.

Dr. Alexander McCain from a series called Mutant Zone. He has a Wesker vibe to him and he serves as the main villain of the series along with his alter-ego, Testament.

The Grim Six. A very good idea when me and Scott created it. I drew this almost 5 years ago and I cringe in terms of my drawing style. But back then, this was the shit and I thought I was at the top of my game.

A series of sketches and drawings done by Scott for his series B.A.S.S.man. He also threw in a random sketch of Maximo too!

Armstrong: King of the Pirates

2011-01-11T00:30:00.000-05:00

Here's the colored version of my Pirate King, Zachariah Armstrong. On a personal note, I think I made him look bad ass.

First drawing of 2011 and comparison

2011-01-11T00:21:00.001-05:00

Hello everyone, this is the first drawing of the new year and I had to put it side-by-side with the old version. I'm actaually shocked on how far my skills came in three years.

Anyway on with the pic. The character name is Zachariah Armstrong and he's the King of the Pirates in the Bullet Kingdom world. By know, most of you should know that Bullet Kingdom is my novel that I've been working on and off for the past 6 years. The gloves on his hands are called the Revolver Knuckle because of the gun system built in, so with every punch, on contact it fires a shot from the knuckles. On his right hand, he has the Tattoo of Judgment, something that I mistakeningly drew on the wrong hand in the left picture, but the tattoo also makes him one of Four Judges of Xanadre'. Armstrong has the ability to judge people with his powers and if found guilty, they turn to dust reliving every pain they caused in their lifetime. But I'll post the colored version soon.

Long Sai Yuk

2010-12-21T00:40:00.000-05:00

The main character for the Mark of the Gods fighting comic me and Scott are doing.

Below is the model sheet I did.

Welcome back, Rock Malcolm

2010-12-20T23:07:00.000-05:00

Hello guys, I'm back. Sorry for not updating for a while, but a lot has been going on in my life. Enough to write a book about. Speaking of which, that's what I'm doing. I'm writing a book! My first novel, Bullet Kingdom, is halfway done be written! I'm so glad of myself.

Anyway, I haven't really drew anything new in a while, but I will update the site from time to time now.

New Artwork 04/23/2K10

2010-04-23T14:12:00.000-04:00

Hey everyone, got some new artwork for you guys today. This is the model sheet for my titular hero Advent. Took some time and learning some other functions in Photoshop again to make this. Well, I had fun designing this even though it was a headache in the beginning.

Enjoy

There goes my baby

2010-04-19T00:09:00.000-04:00

Hello everyone. New Art Monday! Today I drew my girlfriend, K (which isn't her full name, but I'm leaving it out at her request.) This picture was mainly to cheer her up and but I wanted to draw her to for the longest, finally had an excuse to do it now.

At her request she asked me to draw her and best feature. Figure it out guys, I'm not telling. But I had fun drawing it, even though I burned myself out doing it. I tried something new with this like trying to make her skin shine like I see a lot of anime women have, but I haven't gotten it yet, I'm still working on it.

But anyway, enjoy the artwork. Leave me comments on what you think and I still have commission slots open! I have 5 slots open!

2010-04-17T02:28:00.001-04:00

This is the main hero, Advent, in his civilian identity as William Landers and the main love interest, Chase Howardson.

Being friends since the sandbox days, Will and Chase has always been close until she moved away to Paris, France with her mom and dad when she was 6. Ten years later, she comes back only to see Will leave to go to China where he will eventually learn the Zero Style Martial Art.

Because of her years in France, she occasionally speaks French during conversations and other random moment. Even though she's African-America, most of her clothing is primarily French-inspired.

The bracelet she wears on her left arm is something Will made for her before she left for France and still wears until this day.

Well that's it for the character description. Chase was inspired by my first crush, named Chase but different last name. All my characters are based on someone I know at one of my life or another.

So, for the few volume/chapters, whichever comes first, she's the damsel in distress. But she doesn't get kidnapped a lot or anything like that. I kinda hate those type of damsels. But in her case, she's kinda like the wrong place at the wrong time type as she crosses some villains herself.

I'll post the character pic of her soon.

Enjoy,

Rock out!

New Art - 04/15/2K10

2010-04-15T00:19:00.004-04:00

Hello everyone! Time for some new artistic masterpieces, well masterpiece I have drawn. Of course, you know by now my main hero, The Unstoppable Advent. I posted the lineart and flat version yesterday and now, I give you the colored version.

Took me a while to actually add the shades because of work and other issues. But in the end, it's done and I'm proud of my Photoshop skills that I just reacquired. Enjoy and more new art coming soon.

More New Art! 04/13/10

2010-04-13T03:41:00.003-04:00

Got more new art of my superhero, The Unstoppable Advent or Advent for short. He's the leader of the River City Dynamite. He initially starts out alone, but over the course the first season or story arc, he gains a team of heroes to help him in his quest to save the world basically. Here's the line art:

He's a martial artist, thus explains the outfit. The Dragon and Phoenix plays a big part of the story, but I'm not saying anything now about it. But enjoy my mad coloring skillz.

New Art 04/12/2010

2010-04-12T22:12:00.004-04:00

Hello everyone, this is your friendly artist Rock Malcolm here. It's been a week since I uploaded anything, but that was for a good reason; mainly work. Last week nearly killed, but this week because of the cut back of hours, I got more free time on my hands.

On the art front, I'm finally done with a challenge laid down in front of me by a friend and here it is to the left. I mainly did it for the challenge since I tried it many times before and had the same result, epic failure.

I've also done a side-by-side. Not the same, but almost. I'm getting better though, I think.

Scott Bacon's artwork

2010-03-30T11:50:00.003-04:00

Here's my best friend and co-founder of Black Armor XD, Scott Bacon a.k.a. AXN2R (Action Tooner, I think that's how he spells it.)

03/30/2010 Updates

2010-03-30T11:46:00.002-04:00

Well, my Cali trip was fun. Made me think about some things I was doing wrong with my life. But now, that's changed for me. Anyway, I'm doing some pictures for some people I owe them to before I start doing prices and trying my hand at the art game worldwide. Oh yeah, I got my best friend's drawings finally scanned and I'll be posting them in the next post. This is the only person I known personally that I'll say that draws better than me. It gives me some inspiration when he told me that he's becoming a fan of my artwork.

New Art - 03/08/2K10

2010-03-08T19:04:00.004-05:00

Hello everyone! Man life has been great for me as of late. I'm loving life now. Got my business cards, in which I'll scan later. Got a commission job for a band. It was something simple, but I did put my effort into it though. So far, I got some artwork of a friend from dA (DeviantART), my main character for my solo comic, and the skull I drew to start of the month.

First off. This is Advent from my solo comic called the River City Dynamite. He's the leader of the team and he known by the Unstoppable Advent because he knows the Zero Style Martial Arts. This is the fighting pose for the Dragon Style, one of the two fighting styles that make up the Zero Style. More pics on him to come and his civilian identity of Will Landers.

This is Asiey Barbie from dA [link] whose also on Twitter too [link]. This was supposed to a Christmas, the turned New Year's present. She has already seen it, so I decided to post about three months last than I should have. Sad, I know.

New Art!

2010-02-18T11:24:00.005-05:00

Hello everyone. I set this out to be published earlier than this, but I had an emergency and had to rush my mom to the hospital. She told me come home and relax because she didn't want me to worry. But she's doing fine now and will be staying the night possibly at St. Vincent's hospital.

Anyway, before all the craziness happened. I was on the phone with a friend of mine and she introduced me to her friend and it was kinda creepy how much we're alike and how we hit it off really easily. Is there something I'm missing here or is this a sign? Possible time for a vacation or relocation w/the help of Radio Shack of course. :P

So, on with the updates. I drew my good friend and muse, Heather "Izzy" Anderson, last night. I was suppose to draw something for her a few days ago, but it kinda was impossible because of the angle her picture was in. But never worry and hope shined through. She posted some new pics and I told her that I can draw one of the ones she put up much easier and faster than the other she requested. I'm done and she wanted it black and white, so I drew in a comic-art style that I've been working on. My pencil and ink shading sucks, but it came out good in the end.

Here's the pic below.

I've also done a side-by-side. Now even though it's not perfect, it's close enough to her in my style as possible. Hope she likes it.

This is what happens when I'm bored

2010-02-15T03:07:00.004-05:00

This pic here is what happens when it's 3 in the morning, can't sleep, and extremely bored. Things like this come out. This is me doing my best at smiling without it trying to make it look too evil or something. This was a random drawing anyway, so I was just having fun. Plus, it's time to have another display pic for some of the websites I visit. More randomness to come soon.

Long Character Sheet

2010-02-08T20:54:00.002-05:00

This is Long's character sheet for the Mark of the Gods book I'm working on.

First Character designs

2010-02-08T11:23:00.001-05:00

Hello everyone, the first character designs for the Mark of the Gods comic are up. The first is the main character, Long Sai-Yuk or Long for short. More drawings to come!

Finally got a title logo and symbols!

2010-02-04T20:26:00.005-05:00

The Mark of the Gods comic finally has a logo. Took me a while to do it because I slightly created a font to go with it. But after a few hours of messing with it, finally got something I like.

On the flip side, I also inked in the Star Dragon symbol and to me, it looks kickass!

This is the title font for the comic. Well, work in process. Have to get final OK from Scott, but I think he might like it as much as I do.

This is the Star Dragon symbol.

Had to make it smaller, forgot I did this on 8 1/2" x 14" paper.

Now finally the combo!

So much for updates for now. I'm doing doing the fighting sketch for a lovable main character, Chinese Star Dragon fighter, Long Sai Yuk.

More to come. ! Ja ne!

Updates

2010-02-03T00:16:00.003-05:00

Hello everyone, time for updates. Don't know how many are reading my blog right now, but if you are, thanks for looking and sorry for the lack of updates. My life has been busy of late. Right now, I'm full speed ahead on the Mark of the Gods comic. I'm designing the logo and title font for it now. I got the main characters, Team Star Dragon's logo done and will be posting it in the near future after I scan it in Photoshop.

I'm working on the other team logos as well and hope they come out good. But we'll see in the near future. Oh yeah, as of now, I have six more days until my b-day. 27 and counting. I feel like I haven't gotten anything done with my life, but now my mind is made up now.

So let's see how far my passion will take me. I'm NOT working at Radio Shack for the rest of life. I have a bigger part to play in this world. With the help of some friends for support and my stubborn/never-say-die attitude towards this goal, I got a feeling that I will make it.

Well, ja ne for now. Will be posting soon

Happy New Year and updates.

2010-01-20T23:46:00.002-05:00

Hello everyone, this is Rock Malcolm here with a new year update for you all.

First of all. All our projects are on course right now. We got 4 in the works between two people. Yikes. We got our collabo, The Mark of the Gods, on the main front for a pet project. The second is my own fantasy series, Bullet Kingdom, in the works. Still working on the character bible, which is going to take a while. My artist and co-founder of Black Armor XD, S. Vachon Bacon, got his Power UP! series and working on it seriously. Our fourth project is a little underground because it's for the adult crowd, called Hoez. With all these project going on, I'm also working on some side projects too to keep from burning out.

Well, that's the update for now.

Happy New Year and updates.

Asiey Barbie pic lines

2009-12-29T10:19:00.002-05:00

This is the pic that I've been working for about a few days now because of work making it hard for me to finish. This was originally supposed to be a Christmas gift, but now it might be looking like a New Year's gift. On that part, I'm sorry because I said that I was going to finish it by Christmas.

But I'm almost done now. I got the colors selected and will be trying to finish coloring by at least New Year's Eve. After that, time to finish up Rishawndra's pic. I finally got a design that reflect her personality to me. Well, to her, she got the Superstar Lady, so I finally got something in mind to reflect that. Her drawing will be done within a week or two.

Side note: I'm looking for apartments in San Diego area because that's I might be moving to for chance to break into the animation or comic biz. I know I have a long shot, but I'm going to do it and besides, I love a challenge.

See you guys until next post.

New artwork

2009-12-26T10:40:00.002-05:00

Sorry for the no posting as of late, been working too hard on a project for next year to get the ball rolling on plan to move to Cali and get my shit out there. Anyway, I'm taking a break from the project and doing random pics also continuing my "Real Women" series. this time I'm doing two pics at the same time. One was a present, albeit a late one. The other was a gift I've been promising for about 6 months now.

The first one is a picture I've drawn, well the lineart anyway of my friend from dA and Facebook, Asia, in her Halloween Maid costume and one of her recurring messages of her doing a lot of cleaning. :) Kinda funny to me. But that will be posted in a short while.

The second is of another friend and co-worker, Rishawndra, the Superstar Lady. Her picture I'm still debating on because I don't know where to go with her pic. Sexy? Classy? Both? Or a new direction? I'll see where my mind goes while drawing and go from there.

Well, Ja ne! (Japanese for See Ya)

Angela finished edit

2009-12-10T07:50:00.001-05:00

Finally done with it. Took 30 mins to draw and 4 hours to color. But I'm actually glad of this piece because I tried something new with my coloring. I also adding my sig now since I'm posting these online and I don't want no one to steal my work. I'm still getting used to coloring in Photoshop, but I'll get it soon enough.

Now that Angela is done, I got a certain "Superstar Lady" I lady I gotta draw now. I've been teeling her I was going to draw her for the longest time. Guess, I'll start either today after I get off or tomorrow.

But either way, I'm getting better with my drawing and coloring. I'm proud of this compared to the ugly sketch I did of this about two days ago.

More artwork to come. Rishawndra is next on my "Real Women I Know" series.

Edit: I fixed the coloring. The one little space I missed the first time around, I finally got it and I'm re-posting it for your viewing pleasure.

2009-12-08T10:14:00.000-05:00

This is the banner for my shop on gaiaonline.com and the center is me, cool as hell Rock Malcolm. The other two were my shop co-owners and artists. Believe it or not, I got a lot better during this time with my inking and photoshopping skills.

Gaia Online avatar art #1

2009-12-08T10:12:00.000-05:00

This is a pic I did a while for a guy named Goldenfoxtails on a site called GaiaOnline.com. This is a drawing of his avatar, well the three stages of his avi. The older looking one with the wing is the default one. Since he likes foxes, mainly the Kyubi because of Naruto, he wanted me to draw a nine-tailed fox in the pic also. I didn't shade anything in because he liked it the way it was, and I like it better this way too. I think I got the line drawing floating around somewhere and I'll post it when I find it.

Rough sketch Angela.

2009-12-08T01:36:00.001-05:00

Well this is a rough sketch of a girl I work with. Not the best quality since I zoned out while drawing it. But I tried to get it to the way she wanted. I want to draw another when I get some more free time. I did this in about 30 minutes today. Wasn't trying to go for the best here. Just trying to get it done so I can overcome my "Wall" problem. But I hope she likes it, if not, I'll start on a new one.

More sketches coming soon.

Taking a break from fighting.

2009-12-01T23:00:00.002-05:00

After talking to Scott, I'm taking a break from fighting for a bit to give my brain a break from all that ass kicking. I'm basically going to be drawing random pin ups and also pics of my friends who I promised to draw a while back.

Interesting tool. This shall come in handy for people who just wants to talk or advertise.

2009-11-25T00:03:00.002-05:00

This is the colored flat version of the Nady pic I drew. This is basically the color scheme unless I wanted to put a background in there. She asked me to draw and I did because I consider a good friend, but she didn't wanted me to color it for some reason.

So I decided to color it and this is how it turned out. The sheet is white, just add some grays and I'll be done. A rather simple drawing to do.

Some more pics to display

2009-11-24T03:36:00.003-05:00

Over the next few posts, I'll be posting some older pics that I drew a while back. I'm still debating on coloring this or not. I might end up doing it.

Mark of the Gods is on a Track

2009-11-22T17:45:00.002-05:00

Well, another update. The MOTG project is staying on course and I got a heavy load to do. Not only being the character designer, I'm also story editor too. But still I'm having a blast in doing so. I will be posting some artwork within the next few days. Some from MOTG and some from freelance stuff I'm doing.

Stay tuned.

The artist is back

2009-11-17T23:34:00.000-05:00

Like the title says, I'm back. I drew myself looking cool as ever as now I strive to get back to my old groove. This pic took me around 6 hours on and off to complete because I had to relearn PhotoShop all over again, but it was easy once I got the hang of it.

Time to find the next the thing to work on.

Peace!

Finally back on the horse

2009-11-17T23:21:00.000-05:00

After weeks of being in doubt about my ability, something hit me and I drew this, which is myself. I used a blue gradient for my background because my eyes was hurting the all the white I was seeing. But this is my first colored pic in a while. Time to show this baby off.

Sorry for the late posts

2009-10-30T21:11:00.001-04:00

Man, life's been busy lately for me. Been working extra hard and haven't been able to do any drawing as of late. But I can say one thing, is when I do get back into it, I'll be a storm to be dealt. With my solo project, The Unstoppable Advent, on the horizon and the rebirth of an old project of mine, The Mark of the Gods; 2010 will be awesome.

Meanwhile, I've been practicing Photoshop lately and pretty got the hang of coloring, now it's time to find my own style of doing it. I'll be posting black and white pics of my characters from my Advent story soon.

Staying positive

2009-10-17T05:04:00.002-04:00

Well, it's been a rough few days on the creative front. I've been on and off drawing because of work keeping me so damn busy. But oh well, I'm staying positive. I got a feeling that better things are line up for me.

Enough with the sad, sappy stuff. Let's talk about some art here, because this is a art blog. OK, as you may know that I was taking a vacation from Mutant Zone because I didn't want to get burned out on it, now I'm back on it. After I finish drawing a pic for a good friend of mine, I'll be continuing drawing the character designs for the Mutant Zone. Right now, Rick Atoms is next.

The Man behind the Art.

2009-10-12T19:39:00.002-04:00

I was playing around with my webcam and decided to take some new pics of me since some of my friends tell me that I don't have enough pictures of me. They tell me the ones I have now make me look like a serial killer or that my eyes (my best feature) can look into a person's soul.

But anyway, even though Blogger has a display pic of me, I'm getting ready to update big time with my new pimp look. Oh yeah, just in case anybody is wondering, I'm doing the V sign from the game Viewtiful Joe, one of the best games of all time.

It's set in stone

2009-10-07T22:01:00.002-04:00

While talking to my friend, Scott, we finally decided on our solo projects and will be posting pics soon.

Here's Rock Malcolm

2009-10-07T01:38:00.003-04:00

Here he is, the man where my screen name is based from, Rock Malcolm. This character along with Flo and the rest of the Mutant Zone squad was the brain child of me and Scott back on '01 when Evolution and the animated series was out. As you may figured, Rock is the muscle of the team and along with Kobe, don't use a gun on their missions. He has a special weapon called the Knuckle Revolver where the bullets are stored in the wristband and are fired on contact through the opening on the knuckles. A detailed design of the Knuckle Revolver will come soon when I get done with all the human sketches first.

Rock Malcolm is coming

2009-10-06T01:33:00.003-04:00

The character where I got my screen name from is coming soon. I'm doing some final touches on him and he'll be popping up shortly or within the next few hours or so. Like Flo, I'll be doing the front and back, finishing off with a reference sheet for the final pic.

I'm so excited about this project that I haven't thought about much of anything lately. I might be random sketches every now and then to keep my edge up.

Possible logo designs

2009-10-06T00:00:00.000-04:00

I've been debating for a while to update the blog and have a new look to it. So, I've been tinkering with some designs and came up with this one I'm about to post.

Random sketch

2009-10-03T21:55:00.003-04:00

I was drawing this sketch for a friend of mine but it turns out that she didn't like it because it was supposed to be a modern/female version of the March Hare from Alice in Wonderland. I drew the pic for her because it came out to be a Bunny Girl, which was the type she didn't want.

Oh well, I still like the pic and I'm posting here since it gave me a break from the Mutant Zone project. I might do more of these random sketches. Some will be for fun and others will be for boredom.

But here you go, the latest from yours truly himself:

Progress Report

2009-09-29T21:35:00.002-04:00

Been doing some character creating lately with Scott. With some long talking and planning, we finally decided on the final story now. On my end, I'm currently designing Rock Malcolm and his designs should be popping up in a few days.

Old skool pic

2009-09-24T00:37:00.003-04:00

This is the very first sketch of Flo when me and Scott first created the series back in '02. This was her in the first draft of the Phoenix powersuit. As you see, it was blue and black, but now we went in classic black, grey, and gold.

More Flo

2009-09-24T00:31:00.003-04:00

The are some more pics of the leader, Flo. This is her face rotation chart.

One down, many to go

2009-09-21T19:24:00.005-04:00

Finally, I'm done with Flo's reference sheet. Here it is for everyone to enjoy.

2009-09-21T01:17:00.002-04:00

Finally, the first of many sketches to come of the leader and one of the five main characters for an upcoming project called Mutant Zone. More to come soon.

The first post.

2009-09-21T01:00:00.001-04:00

Finally, I'm working on this blog. I guess I'll be posting stuff here from time to time like my sketches, art, and other stuff. More posts to come soon.
