Ah… The nostalgia when I see this unfinished peice, made way back in the year 2000 If I remember correctly, during our architecture class at UST with my good friend Marvin Cruz (http://NivramZurc.deviantart.com)

Pencils and inks by him, pencil colors by me. I still dont know what the character’s name is btw.  Marvin, where the hell are ya? 

I just got older. damn. Thanks for all the greets!

btw, I lost my phone, must’ve dropped it somewhere. Its a supar old phone though. Goodnews is, the founder agreed to give it back to me, but I wont be able to get it til Saturday coz he’s out of town. So it seems there are still honest people in this country afterall.

4hrs PS, no reference.

Yahoo! Im quite relieved as results for the Local Board examsare now out! Sadly, not all of my classmates made it…

Anyway, if you have a knack for sketching/painting/drawing and are suffering from “artist block,” head on to this cool web based theme generator for some crazy concept ideas! Some combinations are ridiculously funny but will definitely jumpstart your creative minds.

As for the above speedpaint, took around 3 hours from start to finish. For more amazing 3CH theme speedpaints from other artists click: http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=63290

So it seems superhero films are here to stay, as a Wonderwoman movie is set for release by 2007 or 2008! :-)  Rumors say its gonna be played by Lindsay Lohan.  If so, then I’ll pass! Unless she has some gratitious nude scenes. HAH!  I havent seen a live action wonderwoman movie or tv series btw, lets just wait and see.  And dont get me started with that channel 7’s darna.

Below are the step by step Work in Progress shots for my version of the wonderwoman image above: click to enlarge

Ugh! the links are not working anymore! so, I re-uploaded.

These are old!  I made two screensavers about the movie Equilibrium 2 years ago for other Equilibrium fans. One is in 3D, the other plays a cool action sequence from the movie. Originally posted at JenGe’s Equilibrium Site.  Get them at here. Thanks again to Jenge for the links and for still maintaing that awesome site!  That movie was so kick ass and is one of my favorite action films!

Here are more of my batman artworks inspired by the latest Batman Begins movie directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Christian Bale.  Finally, a serious batman movie meant to be taken seriously! I love how dark and gritty it is and it felt much like the classic comic book Batman:Year one by Frank Miller.  I can’t wait for the sequel!

Made a Superman postery-look Illustration a couple of weeks ago, took me around 4-5 hours and a happy attitude! thus the bright, hopeful colors!

In my country, most people remember batman as Adam West in that 60’s campy show and find it hard to take him as a serious character.  Holy Spandex Batman!  The show’s startup theme used to be my mobile’s ringtone for a few months though. heh.

Just seen Superman Returns, It looks awesome! This time you’ll really believe a man can fly coz the CG effects are so well done! (But too bad Neo did it first!)

The above image was a quick sketch I did when I saw the trailer for GMA’s Captain Barbell.  Hell, it just looked too “Smallville” to be called ORIGINAL with the farm, tractor, crystal-thingy weakness, “spaceship” and whatever.  Boo to the show’s creators and the 1.5 million peso costume sucks.
