CATRINA WIP

In Mexico day of the death it´s all about to celebrate our ancestors and to gave them some of their special favorites placed on a table with their portrait this is called ¨ OFRENDA¨ and it has the decoration made of cut paper, sweets and wine, and favorite Mexican dishes, a very important part will be the traditional flower of the death called ¨ Cempasúchil¨ it has this great orange hue that I love!! and ¨pan de muerto¨ witch is an special bread made with butter, orange flavor and sweet milk , it´s so yummy! also it is costume to get poems with death related topics that will rhyme with the word ¨CALACA¨ or skull, since the main character here , just like Santa Claus is on Christmas, in Mexico for the day of the death will be ¨CATRINA¨ that is a female representation of the death, she always wears nice things, love to dress up! and she also enjoys cigars, good wine, and good food, not to mention parties ! haha! So well you may get some strong influence on first Walt Disney, and then obviously Tim Burton´s work from this character and some of their friends! but it all start it here! ..not to mention that Aztec love the decoration with skulls! ^_^!! Since for us death it is something worth to celebrate! ... well at least the old traditions..the religion obviously thinks different haha!

So for this holiday I decide to go for ¨CATRINA¨the oldest monsters there is since it´s the personification of the death! But CHIC!

BRUJA DE HIELO



Una vieja creación mia traida a la vida ya que nunca e pense capaz cuando empecé de terminar el render de este personaje ahora me doy cuenta que solo era cuestion de valor en la brocha ! ^_^!

Y claro que me dio gusto el reencuentro con esa mujer tan hermosa! Y con una historia que aun intento no revelar !

como nota : Este personaje me abrio las puertas a un cliente que no pensaba que le fuse a gustar trabajo e tan resiente experiencia que tenia cuando lo realice, esto nos enseña que el trabaja es el que habla por el arista y no tanto su gran técnica!

Green Lantern Corps - Power of Will


Este es mi color de anillo ! Asi que no se metan con él! muajajaja! bueno me gusta el de la tribu Indigo tambien!!! ^_^!! Pero son un poco cerrados de mente y eso no va con migo!

Okay! so This would be my color choice of ring personally, since well my main power it is imagination and the will to use it! I was going to do Kyle Ryner green lantern corp, but he looks way much better as a dude! and Hal jordan and his exy superman wana be hair it´s more suitable to be a woman! hahaha! and if he will become a girl I am pretty sure will be the same as our fav pink lanern corp and love of hs life ¨Sapphire¨! since they are so equal! so it was no surprise he turn out so smexy tetxy! !! Now since it is the corps that use more any type of energy control since it all depends on the user ! well a powerful enchantress will do good here as a unique green corp such as Hal Jordan does it in the galaxy or in this case inside a Fantasy Land!

Hope you like it? ^_^ If not ......

(>u<) / well begin to ..coz it´s a wrap folks ! hahaha!

(U_U)Not really you can comment anything you like if you´d like! ^_^!

BlueCorp- Hope- ELF Angel Armor SKETCH/ final


Well I have the final sketch here... I need know to decide what will happen in the final composition...and if I need another 2 corps or not just to be save I will post them as well!

It kinda bother me the fact ( not any more ) That looks as if I did a re´design of ¨X-men Archangel since it´s blue and well build ) but I must say did not cross my mind till now HAHA!! ^_^! And Had to laugh to my self for that little detail!

BlueCorp- Hope- ELF Angel Armor


This is the color test of my Blue Corp Lantern:

He represents hope, and since he is a redesign of ¨Saint Walker¨ whom his skin was like all in different patterns and very pale..Well I though an elf it is a perfect excuse for having this role in the fantasy land... A magical armor that illuminates with hope the battles... and since blue lanterns they can always fly no matter what ...well I said to my self Axel : wings it is ! hahaha!

I have the final sketch just need to clean it up! post it later after lunch break ! I am off to bed !!

Edit:New one!

YELLOW CORP- SINESTRA Goblin/Demon Witch



Here it is yellow corp designed for a Fantasy theme world : The retrospective in this will be be : What if Sinestro is an evil corp recruiter for the forces of evil? How can we beat that ? !! My thoughts: where go for the change of gender and race but follow the cute red skin and personality of believe in nothing that just power haha!!! Following this main rules I did the concept of the design of ¨SINESTRA¨ combining my imagination very much inspired with the good concepts from the worlds of Zelda and Lord of the Rings !
Goblins are fun! hahaha! ^_^ They look evil and cute when they are mad!! besides they can only be in a history of fear motifs ! And I love evil girls, so I had to make it fun for me as well!!

Comicon 2011 |FANTASY theme- Lantern Corps








Remember my initial 80´s inspiration ...Well Forget about it ! No time to get that topic as I want to ...but basically I will follow the idea of team and multiple character design...I just need to get my attention in one and then make the other look pretty for her or him!!!!

That´s why I am doing the lantern corps, just imaging them in a fantasy land , where fierce warriors and powerful magic take place !!! not just medieval but you know RPG type of game very much a great fantasy land! where everything is multicultural and mythological ! So as long as the belong to a race and a type of fighting ..they can do it here !!

And lantern Corps got so many options!!! so check the thumbnail and tell me what you like if you please... mean time I will work on some other characters...pretty much black and white lanterns!!

La artista Diana ( DICUGO ) esta rediseñando KH a su manera y unos de los mundo que esta haciendo es 101 Dalmatas, como saben estos mundos le pertenecen a Disney © y nosotros los adaptamos como artistas al juego, imitando ya el estilo establecido por esta franquicia de cross over. uno de los trabajos que se hace en estos mundo es presentar su mundo ¨Icono¨ y este es que que Dicugo hizo ! lo llamo ¨Spotty London¨ó Lodres Manchitas... yo en ayuda le sujeri que marcara mejor su tema de manchitas, ya que los dálmatas se caracterizan por ese blanco mas el tono de sus manchas negras, asi como también los colores prendidos de la gama en saturados para darle vida a este cuento moderno y contemporáneo a la ciudad de Londres, donde el rojo ayuda mucho ^_^ ! ahora vamos a ver que tal queda un poco de sal y pimienta en el trabajo realizado por Dicugo : Link del Blog de DICUGO: http://dicugo.wordpress.com

DIOSA DE LA CREACIÓN



¡TIEMPO DE SUBIR INFORMACIÓN NUTRITIVA E IMÁGENES A LA COMPETENCIA!

LA DIOSA DE LA CREACIÓN ES UN SER DEBA LUMÍNICO QUE ESTA ENCARGADA DE DAR VIDA A LOS PLANETAS Y SISTEMAS DE INTELIGENCIA GALÁCTICA ELLA NOS DA EL HOGAR Y TAMBIÉN ES ENCARGADA DE VENIR POR NOSOTROS PARA LLEVARNOS A UN NUEVO HOGAR! ES TODA UNA MAMI! Y LOS DIOSES EN SI SON SU CREACIÓN YA QUE ELLOS SON ENCARGADOS DE CUIDAR EL BALANCE DE TODO LO QUE ELLA REPRESENTA!

SU CABELLO EN REALIDAD ES MANIFESTACIONES LUMÍNICAS DE CONCIENCIA SUPERIOR EVOLUTIVAS, Y SU COLA ES LA MANIFESTACIÓN DE LA FUERZA DE LOS ELEMENTOS Y LA PODER DE RECICLAJE ( DESTRUCCIÓN) AUNQUE ESTE TERMINO REALMENTE NO ES REAL YA QUE TODO VUELVE A NACER EN OTRA MANERA UNA VEZ QUE DEJA SU CUERPO ACTUAL!



LA ULTIMA ES UN REDISEÑO PARA UNA ARTISTA MEXICANA QUE ESTA CREANDO SU DIOSA DE LA SEDUCCIÓN Y CREO QUE ES UNA BUENA ADICIÓN A LAS HIJAS DE MI DIOSA DE LA CREACIÓN

( evil laugh) OHhooohooo! I want it to make Goddess that can be the salvation of al or the latest punishment to all as well! SO pretty much what a real holy being should be all about and not just a silly monster ...that's like a pet for them n my opinion!

and all this crazy idea start it with me mixture from the Water Goddess and the Weather Goddess so let me post the beginnings first so later you can see why I came out with a different design with some takes on each design from them!

Energy God WIP



Well I had little time this week .... ( work like crazy bee on concepts ) ! I moved just the last week again, I moved in the past 2 months inside this new city around 3 times already! Not to mention this is a new city for me as well since I just move into Querétaro México! witch is beautiful by the way, I feel like Kiki delivery service movie when she moved into a colonial and old city ! (no sea though in here) :D I kinda missed that since I ´d been living in Canada and the USA for the last 10 years! So it´s good 2 be back at home!


Now I am also trying to get my local artist into moving towards the game production process since animation and game development here at Mexico it´s pretty new though I find so much talent in here that I must teach and give them whatever I can in order to help them reach their goals! I personally had to move outside my country in order to get this and it´s great that today this in no longer a necessity …unless you want it off-course! ;) but not need it desperately as I did! haha :p

So you will see me helping out all this Mexican talent artist towards the competitions since I know they are very new and they need direction! since creativity is something that no one can help but we can get better at practice with our techniques! That is what at least in my student years I need it as well!

SO I may get overload with tons of concepts I hope you enjoy , and help them as well if you can!


THANKS! and thanks for the support you bring as well just at looking the art and commenting
at it!

Sincerely your friendly Mexican neighbor AXEL!

now I did did concept overnight ! just to get something to keep moving forward towards mi ultimate God or Goddess design!

I present to you God of energy ( I used lots my God of wind and fire reference for his concept )

Concepts Of the GODS part 2











GODDESS OF WEATHER ( Snake Goddess )

COMBO TIME : meaning from request I am doing an all elemental Goddess that may represent the snake figure as a huge elemental power where:
  1. Fire from the sun can be produced from the top head snake
  2. Winged snakes of Water cover the side of her head creating any shape of water she needs (witch is great since can be defensive or offensive this type of power ) Wohoo!
  3. The snakes from her back can order wind and thunder to move to any place… meaning tornado and hurricanes are an easy task to this snakes!
  4. She is protected by an armor made from heavenly snake scales as well they are all inspired by the god of all elements called Quetzalcoatl



  • DONT FORGET that snakes in Hispanic culture represent power, wisdom of the elements and divine right! not to mention magic !
  • I have no idea yet if I must keep going with this concept ? So do let me know your doubts and suggestions!
  1. And last I did a little quick try on a very easy concept to me to like: witch is God of Nature!

  1. And some thumbnails to create an interesting subject Goddess! with 3 possible domains: Water, Woods and Wind I just did a W topic hahaha!


Good seen you guys! Keep up that Imagination Working!
