Phoenix Risen

I was inspired by dark phoenix who is a marvel character (also in Marvel vs Capcom 3) for those who do not know and I wanted to do a illustration of her because I could not get her off my head. My original idea was to create this using pastel color materials like I did in the bottom picture. Until I get my stuff I can only use my computer so here it is the Dark Phoenix.

Dark Phoenix

I miss my stuff

If people like it then I will do the entire roster in Marvel vs Capcom 3 in computer.

hello again

hey hello again as you can see i havnt posted anything in weeks so for those who were waiting anxiously for a new post im sorry. i will try to post new and inspirational things every week maybe more. to start i would like to leave you with some pictures

whats up with them cactus pictures?

i have found a new passion and its not video games or anything related, they are cactuses.

i moved to arizona about a few days ago and i have never seen anything like it! you find then in random places they kinda look like people with more arms and if drive far into the desert you will find a colony of them. I love arizona its always sunny lots of cactus in random places and sunset is to die for. i have been doing lots of walking so i hope to lose pounds. 

now i have 3 main passions art, video games and cactuses =)  

collage at its best

I saw these great peaces of work online and I would like to share it with who ever reads my blog lol.
I love how you can grab what is already there and turn it into something more and when I mean more I mean alive then it already is.

Check out the pictures below. =)

this looks like it would be an interesting movie

Yoshi would be happy

i forgot his name

Want that telephone

 

I thought this was the coolest thing ever only because the number on the phone take over the whole telephone. They kinda remind me of a waffle maker with numbers oh and it has no caller id lol reminds me of the good old days =)

Its only 5000 Metro Cards

So I saw this article by Sarah Firshen on yahoo.com a few days ago and it was really cool to see MTA cards getting recycled for something useful artistic and inspirational. the artist name is Steve Shaheen and with the help of craigslist he was able to collect 5000 MTA cards and turn it into a bench. now if the mayor of NYC gave him more MTA cards to make more benches and place them in parks. =)

Gameinformer threw out time

As most of you already know I like gameinformer magazine. I have been reading the magazine for about 3 years so I have seen the changes it made threw out my time with the magazine. The design now is more clean and the designers pay a lot attention to its content layouts and type. I read the articles and I dont get lost or confused. I think if other game magazines used this style of design and applied it I think game magazines will loom better

for the love of type

I was browsing the net for type and I came across this website called For the Love of Type. its a blog that shows typography pictures all over the world. you see type being use in things we see everyday such as slides, billboards, parks, etc. Here are a few of my favorites and feel free to check out the blog. =)
