Cartoon Network Avengers Assemble

2010-04-18T00:18:00.005-04:00

After Toonami was canceled back in 2008, Tom wandered off in search of better things. He returns to assemble a team of the greatest heroes from across Cartoon Network. He assembled them to fight this wave of horrible T.V. that we have been forced to deal with.

We are joined by the Greatest Cartoon Network Stars:
Johnny Bravo as Captain America
Courage the cowardly dog as Thor
Dexter as Iron Man
Bloo as Ant Man
Nigel Uno as Hawkeye
Edd as The Hulk
Major Dr. Ghastly as the Wasp

This was an incredibly fun piece to draw. The idea started with courage and spun out of control into what you see here. I couldn't include everyone of my favorite shows into the picture so I chose the characters that best represented the Avengers. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

Mario Powerup?

I haven't posted in a while because I have been working on a series over at Deviant Art.

It's a Sonic vs Mario Series, Illustrated in multiple single illustrations telling the story.

You Can Take a look at the beginning here or you can check out the Galleryhere

This is An Art Summary of the Past Seven Years. I had to go through many drawings, a lot of which I forgot about. I enjoyed looking though past ideas and will end up finishing off a few of them that need to be completed.

Enjoy a tip down memory lane, I know I did.

Broken Robot: Left Behind

2009-11-10T23:51:00.002-04:00

It is finally finished,I have been tinkering around with this drawing for a very long time.. I had to work on it in between everything that happened to me from my drawing hiatus for a few months to being overloaded with my job, this picture is about a year in the making.
This was a very important project to me, It was a lot of hard work to get it the way I wanted, In the end I am very pleased with the result.

I hope you enjoy it.

Ghostbuster Squarepants

2009-10-31T20:10:00.003-04:00

I have to give credit to Spongebob for being a lot funnier than I figured it would be. It took the great animation and the hilarity of the Spongebob Movie to convince me. I wanted to see IF i could draw those characters in their own style while combining it with something unrelated. I had a lot of fun with this piece, I hope you enjoy it.

A long awaited update 02

2009-10-26T22:30:00.005-04:00

This is the second Blog Update I am posting of recent artwork I wanted to have on my blog.

This is a Chibi Frank. I took the time to re-design him to make him a much more fun Character to draw. (He has come a long way since I drew him in the banner) I have a few projects planned for him now that I have nailed down the look I want.

A long awaited update 01

2009-10-26T22:11:00.005-04:00

It has been a really long time since I posted anything and wanted to re-post some things I have been doing for the past couple of months here and start updating more regularly.

This was a huge project, I haven't put this much effort into a single project since my thesis, senior year of college. It took over 6 moths to finish everything from designing and building him to actually filming him transform.

True Story

2009-06-11T23:06:00.002-04:00

So I hope you enjoy my Origin Story.

Pirate concepts cont.

2007-07-29T18:38:00.001-04:00

The first picture is what I initially thought Steve should look like but again wasn't until me and Steve decided what direction to go in and we turned him into the navigator of the ship. Also making him skinny was something i would of never considered but drawing him like that was fun to do. More concepts of the rest of the crew to come soon.

The drawing on the right was done during the beginning of my junior year in high school. The image on the left was done 2 semesters before I graduated SVA. It is a difference of 5 years. This is a good example of how much I have improved during my time attending SVA.
