Long Sai Yuk

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

First Character designs

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!

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

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.

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.
