Harley Quinn & the Joker - Rough games

Well, good evening! I'm in a wonderful mood as this is one of the most ambitious drawings I've done in a while, mixing media I thought I'd never use in paper, like acrylics... I was always afraid normal paper wouldn't stand it. It turns out I was wrong and it looks awesome!!!
On the top you can see a re-touched version, while the one on the left is a picture of the original drawing (I seriously need to by a scanner).

I wanted the pencil lines to remain so that's why I haven't painted over them. Also mixing media and styles was pretty fun ^^

Anyhow, I went to the cinema to watch "Suicide Squad" and I liked the soundtrack and Harley, of course, so on Friday afternoon I was listening to it when "Criminal" from Britney Spears came in... and this image came to my mind. So I sketched in the course of three or four repetitions of the song and decided I wanted to make something awesome with it... So I got crazy and coloured it, which you might know by now it isn't something I normally do.
I wanted Harley to look scared, but at the same time have a slight smile that she's almost forcing upon herself to show Joker she trusts him, whilst I wanted the Joker to have a sadistic look. The perspective was hard and not sure of it as I would have rather have the Joker to be slightly bigger that he came up to be, but I'm still pretty Ok with him.
I honestly hate the relationship of these two characters being romanticized, so she's got some cuts and bruises, not too many though as I didn't want to be gruesome, just enough to show he doesn't treat her nicely, and he should as she is slightly afraid of whether he'll hurt her with the knife or not.
Hher body and shadows were pretty fun to do, specially hands and feet are things I?m really happy with. I should point out that all of this came out of my head without needing any reference image... which made me pretty proud.
I enjoyed designing a new outfit for her as well.
I might do more of this in the future.
For the time being I hope you guys like it!! =)

Pin-up for Conor

A friend of mine is a massive Barcelona fan and loves Eva Mendes. So for his birthday what better present than a drawing of Eva Mendez wearing the colors of his favorite team? =P

I had to do this drawing in an hour, hence why it isn't one of my best ones, but he loved it and I'm very pleased with that.

She looks close enough to the actress and the proportions are good, although for some reason people kept asking me if it was me... I feel flattered, but she doesn't look anything like me... anyhow, this woman was tons of fun to draw even though I couldn't spend as much time as I could have liked.


The most importat part: he liked the present =)

Making of Mrs Brisby

 

Doing this with acrylic was quite fun, from drawing the design in a piece of paper, to painting the layers, doing shadows, lines and the thorns to decorate around it. Loved it!

The Secret of NIMH - Mrs Brisby

 

Mother´s day was yesterday. Mrs. Brisby from "The Secret of NIMH" represents motherhood at its finest, and it's one of my mother's old time favorite movies. Together with the fact that my nickname is "Rat" at home, this made the perfect gift for this day. She liked it a lot and I myself am pretty pleased with how it turned out. 

I did some green "thorns" around the edges of the box to decorate it a little bit.

Using acrylic is awesome, giving you quite vivid colors to play with. I'm glad I decided to make this.

Message container

August 17th 2015 I gave this to a friend with an "official apology" inside it because he showed me around Bath, a city he had praised for a long time and I had questioned his words. The letter itself was easy enough, but I wanted the container to be quite something. I basically wanted to show off and achieve that objective I believe. The seal is from my hometown and it was made with paper while the rest is made with cardboard sewn together and with some glue in strategic places just in case. I broke two needles doing this and my fingers were quite sore after a whole afternoon, but I was pretty pleased with the final product. Although, as always, I felt I overdid it a little bit, but I like to do stuff like this every once in  while for friends.

Heroes VI - Juggernaut

Last one of this series. I had lots of fun with the muscles, which brings me to probably try and do more anatomy studies of muscle and tendons.
I'm quite pleased with the feet and the horns.

Heroes VI - Lacerator

I didn't enjoy this one too much. The spikes were a little bit of a pain, but the tendons and muscles once again were lots of fun, as the shadows, although they were quite hard to tell from the concept art. Cool-looking creature, but not my favourite at all.

Heroes VI - Succubus

I am nto happy with her body, but I enjoyed the hair a lot... I like drawing hair. The wings, which normally are lots of fun, are alright, but nothing too spectacular. I changed the face to make her look a little bit more intimidating. She also belongs to the Hell race.

Heroes VI - Maniac

Quick movements. I didn't want to spend too much time in the chains. The muscles were incredibly fun to draw. This creature is from the Hell race.
It's like a slim demon figure

Quick sketches

So this last Christmas (I know it´s been a while) I decided to check the concept art book I have from the game "Heroes of Might and Magic VI" searching for inspiration. In the past I've searched in this franchise for inspiration as well and my drawing of the Mermaid neutral creature has gotten me lots of views in this blog. So I thought to try something new and instead of trying to perfectly copy the drawings, I would do quick sketches of them changing what I felt I liked better some other way. That's what gave birth to the drawings you'll see in the upcoming posts.
By the way, do not buy "Heroes VI". It is a horrible game that has given me lots of headaches and the technical support team haven´t been of any help either. Play "Heroes IV", which is my favorite, or even "Heroes V" is OK, but do not even attempt it with 6. The animation is good and the design of the creatures looks neat, but that's all it's got.
