[jchap 03]

I really like the pose of the girl getting beaten... as strange as that sounds.
Nice work.

[Doubt]

nice, like seeing the loose stuff!

[Danimation]

Very cool D! You always Produce cool work. How's that comic coming along. As far as I know, the one I was working on has stopped indefinitely at ish 2.

[damage]

Thanks guys.:P

Danimation Re: the book it's gooing pretty good. I'm on the tail end of issue 2 and gearing up for issue 3. I always thought this was easier than animation but i guess everything has it easy and hard points. Go figure.

Sorry to hear that the book u worked on got only to ish 2. R u a bit relived that u can go back to animation or where u looking forward to doing static illustrations? Personally me i'm looking forward to doing some animation and not doing so many clean and detailed animation. I guess when i hit clean up it will be the same thing thou right?

Ok here is mine for today. I've been able to keep my new years res so far. but i guess i really shouldn't pat my self on the back it hasn't even been a week. I'm so fickle :P
http://www.damagecomics.com/Lionel/Sketch0013a.jpg

[Danimation]

Yo D! I laughed when I read your daily. Sketch daily, sketch! LOL! To be honest, comics aren't my thing. I'll take animating any day! Speaking of which the owner of the book decied to make it a cartoon, so they're pumping out a seasons worth of 3d stuff. Should be cool to see! I've gotta get started on my daily now! Cheers

[damage]

Wow long time no post. Well i haven't stopped sketching even thou it does get kind of hard to do sometimes. Still i have been able to keep up with my new years res. Here is one i did today.

http://www.damagecomics.com/Lionel/KevsBabie01.jpg

This one is one i did for Kevin from the HM website when i found out he was having a babie. I'll post more once i get the time to scan more in. :P

[Danimation]

Love that sketch D! And I can totally relate to it! LOL
Good to see you back, Cheers

[damage]

Thanks Dan,

My little Munchichi is starting to sleep a little longer at nights now so it's not as bad and he is finally starting to eat some food from those little jars. Man i tasted some of those and some don't really taste good. Good times

Well here r mine for today the first 2 r some ideas i am playing for the cover to issue 2 they r a bit gory so young uns keep ur eyes closed.

http://damagecomics.com/Lionel/AshesIssue2CoverConcept002a.jpg
Ohh the little figures on the side r supposed to me and the gang from the comic.
The following r just ramdom sketches where i saw something i liked and just redrew it.
http://www.damagecomics.com/Lionel/Sketch0015a.jpg
And ofcourse my daily Manga studie.
http://www.damagecomics.com/Lionel/Sketch0014a.jpg

[Ramimator]

There is been a while....the baby scketch is soo cute... :D and funny too..and about the comics ...woaw i like this style...wonderful work..i hope to see more...G.L.

[Doubt]

The baby and the vampire ones are my favorites so far. Have you ever read the comic "Preacher"? If not you should check it out.

[damage]

Thanks for the cool comments guys, really apprecaite it.

Hey Doubt, Yeah i have read it. I was collecting the paper backs for a while but ended loosing track of where i left off. I think o was near the end. Damn i really want to find out how that stroryline ended. Next time i go the comic convention near me i'll make sure to look it up.

Well here is my new one for today. Another concept for the cover. I still have one in my head stuck that i'll try and get out tomorrow.
http://www.damagecomics.com/Lionel/AshesIssue2CoverConcept003a.jpg
Now this one i did a while back at work. The people brought in a horrible picture of the man, and it was a 3/4 shot too with him wearing a hat. Man it was going to be one of those days that u hate. My boss wanted me to garentee the work but i told him like hell. Surprinsingly tho it turned out pretty good and the client loved it. Needless to say that day being able to draw came in handy :P
Here is the sketch, the line work, and the finale airbrush.
http://www.damagecomics.com/Lionel/Portrait001a.jpg
http://www.damagecomics.com/Lionel/Portrait002LineWork.jpg
http://www.damagecomics.com/Lionel/Portrait002AirBrush.jpg
Oh Btw these r done on Cakes the portrait painting that is.

[damage]

Here is mine for today. I did this on sat but am just getting to posting it today. I got lost yesterday in all tha football. Funny enough i'm not a football fan but for some weird reason i got sucked into it.

This is the last concept for a potenial book 2 cover. I'll show it to the team and see if this is anything that they might like.
http://www.damagecomics.com/Lionel/AshesIssue2CoverConcept004a.jpg
I'll try to post todays sketch later today as soon as i do it. :p
Lates

[Danimation]

That rocks D! Wicked work

[damage]

Thanks Danimation. Here are 2 for today. I slacked it since my last post but even tho i fall down i still get up and try again. Heheheheh. Good times

http://www.damagecomics.com/Lionel/Sketch0016a.jpg

http://www.damagecomics.com/Lionel/Sketch0017a.jpg
Just some more Manga Studies.

[Danimation]

Great Sketches D! Love the bottom head stand pose, great foreshortening! The Sagat and Ryu heads rock as well! Cheers

[damage]

Thanks Dan, yeah that one was fun to do. Trying to figure out if the knee looked right or not.

Here r mine for today. The first one r some sketches from a fangoria mag one of my friends had lying around his house. I borrowed it and just started drawing what i thought looked cool.
http://www.damagecomics.com/Lionel/Sketch0018a.jpg
Damn scanner is acting up. I might need a new one. Well the next one is of my all time favorite Batman villan.
http://www.damagecomics.com/Lionel/Sketch0019a.jpg

[KalEl118]

Great stuff. The Joker is my favorite. The whole picture just looks like it deserves to be on a cover of one of the comics. I think you've just inspired me to try an interpretation of VENTRILOQUIST/SCARFACE. I don't know why I was always so intrigued with that character.

Looking forward to seeing more.

KalEl118

[damage]

Hahahah thanks Kal it's an honor to have inspired someone. Let me know when it's up i would luv to see it.

Here r mine for today. It's late and i need some sleep but must keep sketching. More sketches from the fangoria mag. Is it holloween or valintines? I always get the 2 confused. :p
http://www.damagecomics.com/Lionel/Sketch0021a.jpg
http://www.damagecomics.com/Lionel/Sketch0020a.jpg

[brien]

great drawings, damage. i really like the zombie thats just standing there looking off into space. he looks so menacing. like he'd bite your face without even thinking about it. keep up the awesomely cool work.

[skeksil]

wow!
I really like those draws like the gore ones.

I want to see more!!! :D

Drawing those things, what do you find in manga style? I don't see the relationship.
(sorry about my english)

....and congratulations! :p

[KalEl118]

Love the new stuff. Am I correct in assuming that one of the pictures was from Freddy vs. Jason? Anyways, they rock.

Also, I hate advertising my thread on yours, but I just wanted to let you know that my Scarface picture was up.

Keep up the good work.

KalEl118

[damage]

Hey guys thanks for the cool commments.

Bri, thanks man i like drawing zombies and especially those. The last one i did didn't give me that feeling of just existing and attacking when bothered. I think it's in the pupils.

Skeksil, The reason I'm trying to draw manga is just to vary my style some. Long ago when i was trying to get gigs in animation people we're telling me that i was too disney. I know it sure doesn't look like it now but trust me they were kind of right. I'll try to post some of them so u guys can see.

Kal ur right about one being from Fred vs Jason. The movie was ok not much there other then alot of hype but Jason is still my favorite.

Ok here is mine for today. I saw Danimations and it inspired me to do my own. I'm not into the cutesy thing but here we go.
Happy luving day gang. :p
http://www.damagecomics.com/Lionel/HValintinesa.jpg
Beware of the luv babie hehehhe.

[damage]

Well i couldn't stay drawing cute for too long.

Luv Babie didn't have such a good day. :p
http://www.damagecomics.com/Lionel/HValintines002a.jpg

[Danimation]

In the immortal words of Mario, you've 1-up'ed me! Those Cupids kick butt. Great work D!

[Reala]

The second love baby is so good. Such a good concept for the Love baby.

[damage]

Hey guys and gals, been a while since i last posted. Things have gotten a little hurried around here. Still sketching tho. Here r some i did some days back and just didn't have time to post.

http://www.damagecomics.com/Lionel/Sketch0023a.jpg

I didn't like this sketch as much. I didn't really measure it out on the page before i started to clean it up some and had to really make the legs fit. Oh well that's why they r sketches right.
http://www.damagecomics.com/Lionel/Sketch0022a.jpg
This one i did measure it out before i took the sketch further and i really ended liking the results.

I like girls :rolleyes:

[Danimation]

Rock'in poses D! The characters are nice a solid and have nice volumes! Remins me of that episode of Friends, when Phoebe is a Porn Star. The movie they saw was Buffet, the Vampire layer. :D Funny stuff! Cheers

[phacker]

Very nice linear style on that first babe. Not sure what I think of your blood thirsty cupids. But your skill is great Damage.

Pat

[Greenlik]

Nice, have you gone to school for that, comic drawing I mean?!!

[damage]

Hey Dan thanks for the compliments. Friends and porn hahahahaha damn i missed that episode I'll ask one of my friends and see if any of them have it recorded cause i now i want to see it too.

Hey Phack thanks and blood thirty cupids is the only way to go. Watch out for him cause he comes around every year. He is a persistant little bugar.

hey Green, no i never went to school for comic illustrations. I actually got started doing underground comics way back in high school and have been doing them on and off with that same friend to this date. I actually prefer to animate way more than doing comics but comics r sometimes faster... sometimes hahahahah(as I stare at the pages on my desk at the moment)

Here r some for today
the busty goth girl i did at Wizard World La when it got slow and i was able to sketch.
http://www.damagecomics.com/Lionel/bustyVampireSlayerSketch000.jpg
the next 2 pages were inspired by Brien on these forums here. I had to come up with something for a flash assingment i have in class at the moment and i had just finished seeing Bri's little flash movies and and i was like man i haven't drawn cartoony in a while so i gave it a try again. I want to try and do what Bri is doing and get more facial expressions like he did but damn it's hard. So here they go.
http://www.damagecomics.com/Lionel/Sketch0024a.jpg
http://www.damagecomics.com/Lionel/Sketch0025a.jpg
I know i've been slacking on the posting. I'll try to keep doing it more frequently. Life sometimes gets in the way hahahaha Lates

[Shany]

coool stuff D!
keep up the awsome job man!
i am anxious to soo more superhero alike gals ;)

[Dream state 7959]

Hey Damage, Excellent stuff, I always had a thing for busty vampires :D

Nice to back amongst the artwork.

Later,
Dream state

[damage]

Hey Dream thanks for the comments. I got ur Pms but when i tried to reply it told me that ur box was full and u couldn't take anymore messages. Hope all is well and i'll Upload some images as soon as i get myself some webspace to post them on.

[Dream state 7959]

Damage your artwork is looking fantastic, I love the horror stuff but I'm also a big fan of Street Fighter so you know I'm loving that Ryu that you drew.

Later,
DS

[damage]

Thanks for the compliments Dream I haven't posted in a while but now i finally got some free webSpace so here i go. I'll try to keep this up more often. :) http://flyservers.registerfly.com/members5/lion-o.net/images/WareWolf.jpg

[Danimation]

Great wolfman Damage! Keepem coming man! love it!

[Lensman]

I told you I was real on HM. Over the I'm SPACEY...but here, I Den!!
Nice work, do you animate?

[damage]

Haha yeah The metal come to the animation. Ok i belive it ur real, tho u and O-scar have very similar visions.:D

Thanks Dan I'm certainly am going to keep trying. I now have no excuses I finally have some space on the web :)

Ok this here Dorthy is for a lip sync project on trying to get done. I worked on the face till i reached a point where i felt comfortable to work with her.
http://home.comcast.net/~lionel_ordaz/images/DorthySketch001.jpg

[damage]

Ok here is my next step in this animation lip synce project i'm working on. I went ahead and thumbnailed out what i thought was some good acting poses to the dialoge.

http://home.comcast.net/~lionel_ordaz/images/DorthyThumbnails.jpg

[Bandita]

Oh I hope ypu'll post the animation! Looks great!!!!

[gillianseed84]

Looks great man!

[brien]

looks really good, damage! i like the design a lot. its nice and simple. i really like the expression at the bottom left on concept sketches page. the thumbnailing looks pretty darn good, too. i cant wait to see the animation!

[damage]

Thanks guys/gals for the cool comps. I've had a hell of the time with creating the buttons to stop and play for the my so called quick test of the poses to the sound. Man i really should a payed attention to the action scrpting part of my classes. Here is an update with the comp sketches put to sound and adjusted timing. I hope to have update before the end of the weekend. hahah. Man where does time go?:confused: http://home.comcast.net/~lionel_ordaz/swfs/NoPlaceLikeHome01.swf

[damage]

Alrighty there gang,


I maneged to get the next step in this before the weekend ended. I'm pretty happy with the way it's coming out. Well they r only more rough poses to flush out the action but it is one more small step to the finish line. :D I ended taking out the last pose as it i felt that it did not work well. My next step is to take it where it looks like something more solid but still rough.

http://home.comcast.net/~lionel_ordaz/swfs/NoPlaceLikeHome02.swf

[damage]

Not a whole lot on this update but it has been tuff work.

http://home.comcast.net/~lionel_ordaz/swfs/NoPlaceLikeHome03.swf

[brien]

its looking pretty good! the poses flow well with the dialouge. is this going to be part of a bigger project? hope to see more soon.

[damage]

Thanks Brien, unfortunately there won't be much more to this as this is just a dialoge test for fun. I will keep at it till i'm done tho.

Here is todays update.
http://home.comcast.net/~lionel_ordaz/swfs/NoPlaceLikeHome04.swf

[Dream state 7959]

Hey Damage, Your stuff is looking great,keep up the artwork, Damage I sent you PM with a question, let me know.

Thanks,
DS

[damage]

Hey there Gang,

[damage]

Power, thanks i'm glad u like them. Definitly give it a go just make u sure u have enough time to play with it.

http://home.comcast.net/~lionel_ordaz/images/Sketch0026.jpg

[Jerner]

really nice sketches! I'm impressed ^^

You do know your shading and lines indeed. Very nice job on all of them, can't wait to see more, keep it up!! :D

[DIEMERAS Dark Angel]

Thanks Cartuneman I'm glad u like my work.

Well here is another attempt at me trying to paint good times... ok ok babie steps just take babie steps:D
http://home.comcast.net/~lionel_ordaz/WarMachine002.jpg
You are MAGNIFICENT, I like your style, I only wish you weren't already employed, then I would have definately wanted you to work with me on my cartoon next year :(
Keep up your fine pursuits and draw me something special ;)

[brien]

very awesome stuff as usual damage! the huge skull-robot is great. i cant wait to see it finished. the life drawing sketches are great as well. good use of highlights on that last one. i should start gettin back into that, my life drawing skills are pretty damn rusty. did you ever end up finishing that dorthy dialouge scene?

[damage]

Thanks guys i'm glad u like them.

Brien, Im trying to get back to the skull monster but by the time i get home I only have a very small amount of time so i'm trying to do quick sketchs but they don't seem to be turning out that way. haha. Re the Alice i ended up looseing the file and have to make it from scratch. Good times rigth.

Well here is the one for today. Now i did this one in painter... man that is a hard program to get used to. I don't like the way it came out but hey it's a sketch right. :o

http://home.comcast.net/~lionel_ordaz/images/digitalPainting001.jpg

[damage]

He haw i'm rolling now. I went back to the skull monster painting and got a good amount done today. Finished the bg and flushed out the robot. He isn't done yet but on his way. I haven't touched the girl I'm saving her for the end.
http://home.comcast.net/~lionel_ordaz/images/WarMachine004.jpg

[Jabberwocky]

Neat! Robot monster looks like Metallo from the DC vs. Marvel cross-over. So apply at Marvel already! (That's right - I'm pro Marvel!)

[Jerner]

awsome!
that's a HUGE improvement from the sketch I tell ya! Really amazing - georgeus work, I can't wait to see the finished picture :D

[cartuneman]

Hi Damage,

God I'm loving it..........I'm drooling! I'm anxious to see it finished. I love your life drawing. I had to laugh when you said the net is a great resource for life drawing. Thats what I use today too.(well as long as the kids are in bed and my wife isn't home).
The funny thing is, Before I became computerized I used to go to the local strip club and scketch.

Well, that excuse used to work.:D

Cartuneman

[damage]

Thanks for the comments guys,

Hahhahaha Cartuneman that is funny as hell. I knew a person once that told me the same thing but i didn't belive him. How can u draw in such a dimly lit place and do the poeple in the stip joint or the owner or stripper mind when u do that. Do u ask the or do u just go and do it.

I need to know man i might just try it for kicks.

[cartuneman]

Hi Damage,

Well if I tell you my secret don't let it get around hahaha.
What I first did was I went to a few of the local clubs and asked if I could do drawings. They didn't mind as long as I had the permission of the dancers. (god the research was so exhausting):rolleyes: The real kick was after a few visits I never had to pay for a lap dance any more.(so very true)ha!

(note) I learned to draw by touch and go too..................:D

Cartuneman

[cartuneman]

Hi again,
One quick question? Would you do me favor? I posted a couple scketches in my gallery. one is of an Indian and one is of a woman sitting. Both are from memory (Since I don't frequent strip clubs anymore) I'd love your opinion, since I truley admire your abilities.

Cartuneman

[Dream state 7959]

Hey Damage, I'm loving the way the robot is turning out, I agree with you about about using Painter, it is kinda hard to get use to, I hope to someday have enough money to be able to afford to buy the Wacom Cintiq drawing tablet, talk about cool sh-- it's the next evolution between computer and drawing, here is the link to go check it out http://www.wacom.com/lcdtablets/index.cfm

Later,
DS :cool:

[damage]

Hahah hey Cartuneman that is awsome. It's definitly something i'll have to try sooner or later. Especially since can't take any classes at the moment. :D I'll also definitly go on over to ur pages and check them goilies out.

Hey Dream thanks for ur comments. Man o man o my i don't know what to tell u about the cintiq. Other than it's a must have. I've been drooling over this piece of equipment since i first heard of it last year. I then got a chance to try it out at this year siggraph and oh man just like heaven. I luved it soo much that i didn't want to leave the booth and my boss who i went with had to pull me away from it.Hahah good times. I luved it soo much that i conviced one of my other bosses to call up the lady to come in to the office and do a demo for us. Again when she came in i hogged it as much as I could. The lady had to leave and i was already animating stuff in it. Hahahaha i lub the cintiq. So much soo that it's a big item that i'm saving up for. The sad thing is that when the lady came in to demo it she mentioned to us that the waiting period had gone up from 8 weeks back order to 12, I swear i wanted to cry. My thoughts that as soon as i have enough money for it i still have to wait to get it.:( .... OOOOhhhhh welll....Geese ok i'll have to stop my ramblings.

[Dream state 7959]

Man your lucky to have at least used it even though I totaly understand what you mean about trying to actually own one, I only have a demo CD from a studio showing and explaining how it works, I have to ask you, is it fluid to draw on the surface of the tablet and how are the tools, some day it will happen for me.

Later
DS :cool:

[damage]

Hey Dream, when i used it, it was awsome. It didn't have a glass top to draw on it has and acrylic plastic type top. Which is cool cause combined with the pen and it kick arse tips it feels just natural. Totally comfortable. The touch stips on the sides r customizable to whatever shortcuts u want to put on them so even if u don't liket he short cuts they have on there u can always change them. I don't quite understand what u mean by tool? If u mean the pen itself, it's way better than what i use now which i my little graphir pen and tablet. Hahaha it does the job right. I've been thinking recently if i should go ahead and buy myself an intouse untill i get the Cintiq but i think i'll just end up saving my pennies to get that. I played with one of the intouse at my local apple store and it is alot better than the graphire that i have. I just want that cintiq soo much that i just hold off rough it.Hahah rough yeah right huh. Also alot of apps that i use are already set up for the wacome so the cintiq shuld fit right in when i get it.

Ok now for todays update I've finished the robot and the bg. I tone down the bg from the last post as i felt it was fighting with the robot. I'm now on the last leg of this I need the debris that the girl is hiding behind and her herself. I look forward to doing these. I guess that is why i try to do the bg first as i don't want to lose interest in the end and just put some crappy bg. Hahhah good time right. I hope to finish this this weekend and the go back to recrating and finishing the alice animation i was working on.
http://home.comcast.net/~lionel_ordaz/images/WarMachine005.jpg

[powerglove]

wow, that really turned out great..cant wait to see the finished product, bloody hand prints? nice touch :)

[damage]

Thanks power i'm also happy with the way it's coming out. I think that there is a chance for me to finish it today.

Well after staring at the girl for an hr or so i sketched this new one up and feel happy with her. Now she looks a bit to toony but hopefully when i paint her she'll blend in. I hope.
http://home.comcast.net/~lionel_ordaz/images/Girl.jpg

[damage]

yeah i know she has combat boot but almost no cloth.... hey i'm a perv sorry. :D

[powerglove]

even unbutton'd pants along with her breasts haha...thats cool how you guys design characters...begin with muscles > skin > clothes, i did a drawing of the anatomy to help me with learning muscles..yes im geek but christ it works :D

[bupaje]

Nice work -though I have to look over my shoulder to make sure my kids don't see it or my wife doesn't grab me by the ear. ;) For what it's worth I kinda like the face -seems expressive.

[brien]

holy cow that robot-skull beast is looking damn awesome! it's good to see lots of posts from you now, since you stopped posting for like 7 months. hah, those heads looks really creepy. i really like the girl, and her unbottoned shirt. i'm a perv too, haha. one thing that looks a little off is the arm thats not holding the gun.. it looks a little small. but other than that.. its lookin great. cant wait to see it finished!

[Jabberwocky]

Oh, so this was done in Painter. Dammit, I'd like a chance to get into that program. I downloaded a demo of Painter X but quickly abandoned all attempts to use it; it's hopless without a tablet and light pen. How much for a decent one these days? If only my drawing room wasn't so darned small! It's been far too long since I last used a paint brush. I just can't risk ruining my light table with acryllics ...

[Jerner]

Amazing, truly amazing.
The beast-thingy is looking really good, and so does the background.
I love to watch great artists' works when they do it in painter, it always seems to come out great - yours has too, and I'm really looking forward seeing the outcome!
The new girl you sketched looks better in my opinion, she's got a more expressive look on her face, and to tell the truth, she looks better, haha. Good work, as allways. I bet you that the girl and the pile of things will look as good as the beast :D

[cartuneman]

Hi Damage,

Don't worry! My wife is hot anyhow and I love it when ever I get a chance to draw her .hahahahahaha.

Cartuneman

[damage]

Hey guys and gals,

Thanks for the comps and input i really appreciate it.

This was a pain in the but, it was hard and my first digital painting. Oh hey Jab the painting was done in Ps not painter. Some of the sketches i did to loosen up were done in painter.

Well what can i say, the girl was the hardest part of it all. She was fun but hard as hell. She also didn't come out quite the way i wanted her but hey. Hopefully things will go my way in the next one i undertake.
http://home.comcast.net/~lionel_ordaz/images/WarMachine006.jpg

[powerglove]

wow that turned out awesome...fantastic work damage, i keep getting more and more impressed with your work...coloring is great and the woman for some reason in combat situations wearing only vest (unbuttoned of course) makes total sense haha, i love it man :)

[Dream state 7959]

What can I say, the finished product looks great, did you use Painter for the whole thing or a combo of softwares, I love the uniform, keep up the great work, always a pleasure.

PS: I sent you a PM.

Later man,
DS :cool:

[cartuneman]

Hi Mr. D.,

The Human droid pic turned out amazing. I'd love to see the software you used.

Cartuneman

Thanks for the comments guys/gals. For those of u asking what software i used photoshop it's the only painting program i know well enough to attempt this in. I intially wanted to try and do it in Painter but man no why that program is huge with all it's brushes, I need to play in it more before i attempt something like this in there.

As always your art is sweeter than wine! The ladies are hotter than pancakes with syrup man! Kick ass D! :)

[damage]

Thanks Dan,

Much appreciated. :D I also have always enjoyed looking at ur art work. It's top notch.

Ok guys and gals it's I know i haven't posted to recently but i have been working on stuff. For one, one of my goals is to try and finish that blasted Dorthy animation i started and then lost. As a follow up on that here is now an updated on the redo of that. I went ahead and animated the all the motion and am happy with it. I'm now in the process of cleaning it up. Hope u guys and gals like.:D

Cartuneman

P.S. When do you find yourself most creative? Late at night or when you first get up in the morning?:confused:

[CopyCat]

[cartuneman]

Dude!

Long time man......... thanks for checking my site out.......hey you should check out the pic I did and posted in the general disscussion forum under "theme Challenge" and yes I used my wife as a model again(forgive me but she won't let me go to the strip bars for life drawing class anymore hahahahaha)
But hey I've missed your art dude:(

Cartuneman:D

[damage]

Hahah hey Cartuneman,


I have yet to go to the stip club myself for some life drawing. I'll try and make some time for it soon tho :D . I know i haven't posted here lately and thanks to all of u who have commented on my work. I appreciate it. I have been doing my daily sketches but unfortunetley they r of adult content and i dare not post them here. Since i would imagine that we have young readers lurking about. I'll try and tone down the next couple of ones and post them here tho.

I'll be sure the check out the thread u metioned i luv challenges.

[DIEMERAS Dark Angel]

[Jabberwocky]

Technical question: when working with a Wacom, do you rest your elbow on the table? Unfortunately, my computer desk is too short for that and while drawing with the wrist and shoulder is a good exercise, it can get a bit straining.

[damage]

Hey Jabberwocky, No i don't rest my elbos on the table but i sometimes rest my wriast on it. I now have a cintiq and the angle helps alot more now. But i find myself doing the same thing on that one too. Hope it helps:D

[damage]

Hey there gang one i did for today of a character that i think i'm going to bring back hope u like. :D
http://home.comcast.net/~lionel_ordaz/images/bloodshed061906_001.jpg

[Jabberwocky]

Hey Jabberwocky, No i don't rest my elbos on the table but i sometimes rest my wriast on it. I now have a cintiq and the angle helps alot more now. But i find myself doing the same thing on that one too. Hope it helps:D

Mmmh, yes, a bit. My problem is that my stylus tends to be a little jumpy when I draw selections and so forth, for which I blame the fact that my elbow isn't resting on a surface. Then again, maybe I just need to adjust the contact recognition.
(And why the heck does everbody around here seem to be able to afford a Cintiq? I'm professionally jealous!)

[damage]

Ok here i am again tryin to get this going again. I did this one tonight for fun Hope u guys/gals like

Here is a new one for today.
http://home.comcast.net/~lionel_ordaz/images/drawmageddon_003.jpg

[Phreak]

That's awesome!! I really like the colors over the pencils!

[damage]

Thanks Phreak, i'm totally experimenting with this and see if i can finally find my style of coloring.:D

[cartuneman]

Great colors Damage,

So exactly what sort of color combo you going for?

cart:D

[damage]

Don't know just yet Cartune. Coloring is one of my skills that i let slip, so i'm trying to find my way thrue it and see if I can find a comfortable process for myself. For future comic ventures and what not.:D

Here r some more dev sketches on my Miss A Bomb. I swear it's like trying to cast an actoress when doing this. I'm not sure if i lean towards any of these might just have to think it over for a day or two. Also maybe back to drawing and see if one will pop out for me. Oh well for know for now i hope u all enjoy as much as i did drawin them.:D

http://home.comcast.net/~lionel_ordaz/images/missABombDev001.jpg

[Jabberwocky]

Very neat expressions! She seems to be going through different age stages.

[cartuneman]

absolutly love them, are you going to incorperate all these into your character?

cart:D

[thee_nethken]

wow! really like your style. very cool characters :D

[damage]

Here r some more dev Sketches for my Miss A Bomb Project. Still not too sure but i did take another pass at the sketches that i liked from before the most. Hope you like

http://home.comcast.net/~lionel_ordaz/images/missABombDev002.jpg


Jabberwocky: You hit it right on the nose. That was one of the things that was buggin me. So i aged them up a bit to see if i liked them. For the younger faces if i pick one i might use it for her alter ego.

cartuneman: Thanks i'm glad u like. No I'm just searching right now to see if I can find the right face for her. Kind of like casting the perfect actor for the part of your movie in a way. The ones i don't pick i mgiht use for supporting characters if i like em enough.

thee_nethken: Thanks you. Girls r always fun to draw but also hard.

[Jabberwocky]

Whooo, drawing pretty girls - I really hated that as a child and tried to avoid it whenever possible. Maybe it takes an adult and "appreciative" eye to catch the subtleties of prettiness, heheh.
I like the new sketches, too, a lesson in facial design. They're all good to me, but also very different. I'm curious since you know her, which one would you say captures her character best?
Sketch A to me looks like the head and face of a very slim and young person, partly because of the long and slender neck, A1 and A2 looking more mature which maybe works better for a buxom super-heroine.
Sketch B radiates innocense, large eyes and petite nose. Maybe carefully adding a little to the bridge of her nose might add some structure to the forehead area. (Just a thought.) B1 and B2 - more mature again, definitely on the hawt side.
Sketch C has something of a classic, somewhat full-faced beauty to me. C1 and C2 develop into what seems to me like a harsher and older version, probably because the facial silhouette gains straightness from downplaying the cheekbone, and the smaller eyes and elongated the nose.
You wrote something about her alter ego - so is she the kind of super-heroine who is outwardly the exact opposite of her heroine self?

[thee_nethken]

man im digging all of these. I think you should create a superhero group, using each one :D yeh.... a group of superheroines...mmmm sounds good huh? haha great work.

[Phreak]

Damn good work dude! I envy your 'consistancy' in face patterns. damn.

[damage]

Here is a different character for tonight. Prof. Ben, Miss A Bombs mentor Architype. He's based on one of my child hood heros can you guess who?
http://home.comcast.net/~lionel_ordaz/images/profBen.jpg

Jabberwocky: Thanks for your input, I really appreciat it. It helps decide and i also like to hear others take on it. Oh and yes that is my thought on Miss A Bomb. When she becomes here is is more confident, not at first though this only happends after she kind of grows to know her capeabilities. Kind of like Peter Parker.

thee_nethken: Hahah thanks i'll give it some thought, but for now one heroine and the baddies is enough to handle for me.

Phreak: Thanks i'm glad u like them:D

[cartuneman]

Captain Kangaroo!!!!!


hahahahahahahaha good likeness ..

cart:D

[Jabberwocky]

Very interesting! The lower row looks a little like versions of an elderly and rotund Stan Laurel.

[thee_nethken]

nice nice nice :D

[damage]

Hey there gang,

Well i hit a bit of a lag. That and i also had to do a one of my special cakes for a friends birthday party we had at work. Needless to say that the cake was one of my famouse erotic cakes for my friend Ceci and that blasted thing had me and all the guys at work walking around very careful around it cause it looked like it wanted to poke us in the eye. The girls on the other hand luved it and made unit jokes all day long. hahah good times.
Ok enough of that. Here r some sketches i did last wee on my sketch book. Wow i haven't drawn on paper in a long time. Made me miss ctrl+Z hahah.

https://home.comcast.net/~lionel_ordaz/images/profBen_002.jpg
Some more of the ProfBen desing that i liked the most.

https://home.comcast.net/~lionel_ordaz/images/evilScientist_001.jpg
These r some dev sketches for one of the main badguys in the first episode

https://home.comcast.net/~lionel_ordaz/images/victoria_meanB_001.jpg
Another baddy to our heroine.

This is the busDriver in the episode but i'm not happy with any of these, she is going to need more work.

[damage]

I had to do this in multiple post this i can only post 4 images at a time.
Oh well that's ok

These skectches r from my friend Ceci whom i did the cake for. She went ahead and did some Dev skectches for me of MissABomb. Who said women can't draw sexy women.

Hope you like I know i did

cartuneman: hahhahahahhah no that's not it. ProfBen is based on my childhood hero Benny Hill

Jabberwocky:hahah is that Laurel from Laurel and Hardy that your ref too?

thee_nethken: Thanks

[Doubt]

Great stuff, I like the top middle scientist the best out of those ones. He looks like a sketchy character. As far as A-bomb goes, the sketches look great and I think you'll just have to pick one or two based on the personality that you have planned for her.

ps. the first proffesor sketch from the last page looks like a chubby conan o'brien hehe

[bupaje]

Wow! Beautiful work. Awesome characters. I especially love the expressions. Little doubt who is smart, evil, good, innocent etc Most of my own stuff seems to always look either morosely sad or maniacally happy despite my original intent.

[nonsense]

haha such breasts...you are lord of anatomy contours, love your work sir :D, oh and i didnt realize your friend drew these...she has skills like you!

[cartuneman]

OMG!

What does she mean women can't draw sexy...hell.....a women is supposed to know what sexy is. She not only acheived sexyness she even went and made her hot too.
Hahahahahaha wonder what she'd look like if she reached that point right before "critical mass"?

Your friend did good.............oh and I don't care what you say hahahahaha I still think that character still looks like Captain Kangaroo. (you can tell who was my child hood hero huh?)

Great work by you as always Damage You never stop amazing me!

cartuneman:D

[Jabberwocky]

Jabberwocky:hahah is that Laurel from Laurel and Hardy that your ref too?

Yes, but Benny Hill is a cooler idea. I used to watch him a lot, too, in my teens. I also remember the day it was in the papers they found him dead in his apartment, sitting in front of the still running TV set. I don't know but even though it didn't make me particularly sad it's moments like that which make me realize time passes.

Who said women can't draw sexy women

Indeed, whoever said that? That's really one cute face in the third sketch. Not one I'd use for a super heroine of Miss A-Bomb's, hum, "calibre", but very endearing.

[thee_nethken]

nice drawings! very nice drawings!

[cartuneman]

ok ya if I look at him some more he does look like Benny Hill. Benny hill was one of my favorite comedians too. I loved the mini comic shorts of him and the coppers and the others the most.

cart:D

[damage]

Ok i had a little too much fun with this one. One of my friends showed me this Artist art work Shane Glines and it inpired me to do versions of miss A Bomb in his style. I really like the way he draws hips and how simplified his style is. This type of style comes hard to me since i want to add all kinds of details. I do like the idea though and the style seems to lend itself to animation more so than what my style of drawing. Ok enough ranting i'm off to try and be a writer. Sheese wish me luck i'm not that good at it.

http://home.comcast.net/~lionel_ordaz/images/missABombDev003.jpg
Here r some i did yesterday but forgot to post.

http://home.comcast.net/~lionel_ordaz/images/missAbomb_toddO_002.jpg

Doubt: Thanks, I agree i have to develope here personality in my mind first and then the visuals will come.

bupaje: Thanks, expressions are always something i'm trying to work at, it helps to have a mirrow around, Now i'm not saying my mug is good looking like some of my drawings but it helps to see the expression and then bounce it off of that.

nonsense: Thanks women's anatomy is something i study with madness hehe.

cartuneman: Hahah thanks, ok for you Capt'n Kangaroo it is. I'll make sure and tell my friend how wrong she is, so that hopefully she will do some more for me.

Jabberwocky: I also remember that day. I was sad for a moment to know that he was no longer with us. I never met him but i did feel loss. Then i thought, well if he is in heaven he is giving God a hard time hitting on all those angles and if he is in hell well i'm pertty sure he is running things down the. hehe.

thee_nethken: Thank you.

cartuneman: I want to incorporate the slapping of little old bald men into the animation hehe.

[nonsense]

wow..i love these. ya shanes work is sweet..although i love your comic style alot too, touch of realistic = good for me :), if you dont mind im gonna do some studying of your facial techniques and throw them up in my gallery soon. :)

[katana]

Really nice stuff. I like your expression page. I almost thought that the atomic symbol on her face showed up when she got into her superhero frame of mind, kind of like an underlying makeup or something. I think a simple mask looks good on her, she seems very carefree without it.

[damage]

Ok here r some sketches of Miss A Bomb in here Reg self. I'm trying to keep with in the Shane style but it now starts to get hard. Hope u like.

http://home.comcast.net/~lionel_ordaz/images/missABombDev004.jpg

nonsense:Thank u and i'm honored that u'll use my stuff to study and practice. Thanks

katana: Thanks I'm glad u like I also agree that the mask helps.

That is bloody great work man. I really really dig your lines :D
One day...ONE DAY :o

Thank you Cobster.

It's been awhile and i actually have kept myself drawing and 3D_ing I just haven't had the time to post. Here is an Update :P

Here is my second assingment for Bobby Chiu. In this one all I had to do was colorize it so i didn't do the actual painting just color. It was fun though and now I can't wait to use this in my future comics.

Hello Damage, remember me, long time no post, I'm glad to see that you're doing some fantastic stuff, love those cowboys, I've kept myself busy writing a children’s book, hope to get it published (fingers crossed), also working on a website that I hope to launch in the next couple of months, I do have to mention that I couldn't view some of your jpegs that you posted. ???
