Banshee - "Starcraft II"

I know this is more of a helicopter... plane-ish, aircraft machine, but I included it in the starships category because Starcraft doesn't always make it particularly easy to tell when you're in space and when on a place with atmosphere. I've always wanted to draw this, since I frist saw it. It looks amazing and it was a blast to draw it. This time my approach wasn't to make it neat, but the opposite. I went with dirty lines, played around with the pen as much as I could... and I love the end result, specially taking into account this drawing is based on a papercraft model someone posted on the internet and not a picture of the computer design.
I absolutely love this aircraft.

Turian Cruiser - "Mass Effect"

I started playing Mass Effect like a year ago, but I had to quit because I had to work on my final degree project. The first and second game were given to me by one of my best friends as a present, and a lot of people has told me I should play them because they're awesome. So I'll go back to them soon.
In the meanwhile, this is the ship a friend who asked me for the drawing of a ship for his room picked... I guess because he really likes Mass Effect.
For this I tried to take advantages of the dark shadows and use the straight lines to give that geometrical look. It's quite an interesting-looking ship. So when I first saw it I had to draw it. My friend seemed to like it a lot when I gave it to him.

Andromeda Ascendant - "Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda"

I tried watching this show, but it was too corny for me. I don't know the whole set was pretty lame and I couldn't see past the first few episodes because I couldn't take it knowing it was supposed to come from the same person who had created Star Trek, although Roddenberry was long dead when this show came out. So I guess maybe he was the one missing from the spirit of this show. I don't know. The ship looked pretty awesome though. So I decided to give it a try, although I have to admit half the time I was just drawing lines and shadows not really knowing what I was doing.

Cylon Ship - "Battlestar Galactica"

I remember watching the first season of this show without the tv movie that comes before it. It was incredibly confusing, but it looked interesting. At the time I had no means to watch the rest of the seasons, or the pilot for that matter, and forgot about it. Now that I had the change I decided to try drawing this cool-looking ships, and it was a blast. I tried to use the same approach as with planes and try to make it look neat.

Starships coming up

Hey! A couple of months ago I was asked by a friend to do a starship to put on his wall to help decorating his room. Because he didn't ask for a specific ship, and past experiences has whown me not to go too big on projects like this with people I don't know too much, I decided to do four different ships and let him choose the one he wanted while I would keep the other three to decorate my room.
This game me the perfect excuse to draw some stuff I've always wanted to draw, have a project that would occupy my afternoons and go back to my drawing. So it was a great experience. I don't have a scanner here, so sadly the pictures I'll upload have a bad quality, but I'll be posting the ships I drew for him.
I had a great time doing them, and I hope you guys enjoy them as well =)

Color Study: Green Eyes

Here it's a small study of three different sets of green eyes. Marvelous combinations of green, blue, brown and yellow make them so unique.
The people I used as models were:
Sharbat Gula (National Geographic Magazine’s cover)
Jensen Ackles (Known from “Supernatural”)
Angelina Jolie (First known by me when I saw her in “Lara Croft”)

I'd like to do something like this for other eye colors, but we'll see

A Pin-up for Chris

First, allow me to say I'm against the stereotyping of Latina/Spanish women. This is meant to be a woman surrounded by the things I was expecting to find in the birthday party I was going to.
The birthday party was Latino-themed... and since it was a guy, I thought he might enjoy this drawing, specially because since I didn't know him too well I thought at least he would find it nice. He liked it quite a lot, like some other guests as well.
This is based on a pin-up you can find easily in google, but I decided to make her more attractive, add the tequila bottle and make her hair much more fun. I just wanted s "Latino-themed" pin-up, and I think I pretty much got her right.
I'm quite happy with the final result... and she looks so beautiful and menacing. I like it.
