Gladiators Ready!

I caught the premiere of American Gladiators and I was surprised by the female gladiators. They're not what I expected to see. My favorite right now is "Crush". Don't let her innocent smile deceive you cuz she can actually kick some butt. I found out she's a MMA fighter specializing in Muay Thai. That's AWESOME! For this drawing I had some tonal laying around that I decided to use. I've seen comic book artists use a technique where they use pure black on tonal paper then add in the whites. I was afraid of using pure black on some places so I ended up using some black pencil to add another tone.


This one I did a week after other drawing. I was watching American Gladiators agian as I was sketching this out in my sketchbook. I splashed some color in afterwards on photoshop.

Lets-Go-Warr-iors!

After 12 or so years of watching the Warriors struggle even with big names like Starks, "Mookie", Jamison and Arenas, it's nice to finally see a group of guys that mesh well together making them playoff contenders for years to come. I always wanted to draw one of them so heres one as kind of a joke. If you're a Warrior fan, the Stephen Jackson cartoon should make sense. The other, my friend had a Warrior Girl calendar so I decided to draw the cover girl for the heck of it.

A couple of friends and I went to see a celebrity charity game last week at the Oracle and guess who we saw... Stephen Jackson, Monta Ellis, Donald "Turk" Faison, Terry Crews and many more!
