[WIP] Mia Ballistic - GL

I just can't stop sketching her. It is still on really early stages but, since I'm not sure when I'll finish it, I'm posting it anyways.

My trusty wacom intuos II and krita 2.4 from the calligra git repo.

[WIP] Tina Hanlon

Long way until it's finished but I decided to post so a few friends could see what I'm trying to acomplish. I still got to put a lot of work on line weights but...

Blender and Gimp for the background and Krita for the figure and overall composition.

[WIP] James Alan Hetfield

I've always been I a big fan of Metallica so I've always wanted to make a sketch of them.

This sketch is based on a magazine article scanned which I found a while ago but can not remember where or which magazine it was.

Still trying to finish it but since it has been in my desktop for months now, I've decided to post a Work in Progress.

[WIP] Luciano Perle

It's been quite a while since I drew someone from my workplace. Well, new job, new sketches. I do not think I'll touch it again but since it is not finished I tagged it as Work In Progress....

[wip] pancadinha drinking water

This is an old sketch that has been laying around my computers for a few months. Pancadinha drinking water from a bottle.



And an earlier version:




Wacom Intuos 2 and Krita on a SID Debian/GNU Linux.

Lena Headey as Sarah Connor

This one has been in my backpack for a few months now. Yesterday I scribbled a few lines during my methodology class as the content is almost the same since my high school years. I did not put much effort in getting it right since it was just an exercise to loosen up my inking as well as making the clock run faster. Shading, especially lighting, is a mess...

[WIP] Another Mia Ballistic - Green Lantern

Sometimes you find someone that just fills a role perfectly and you just can't see someone else in that role. That's how I feel about these cosplay: she is just perfect as a Green Lantern. Even though she looked great as Lady Punisher, Catwoman, and Kitty Pride, I can't see her in another role. So I did another sketch...

[WIP] Mia Ballistic as Green Lantern - Flats

I just begun coloring this sketch. I've laid out the flats ... Now everything gets tougher by the minute...

[WIP] Mia Ballistic as Green Lantern

I was never a real fan of cosplay but from the moment I first saw Mia Ballistic dressed up as Green Lantern on Facebook I knew I had to draw her. It was "love at first sight". Everything just worked out perfectly: shapes, colors, poses.... This is just my first try and I hope she can forgive me.

Michael Chiklis as Victor Samuel "Vic" Mackey

I've been fooling around with krita and my tablet quite a lot lately. Just today I was able to work some long recurring problems about using tablets with a dual head desktop.

Tonight, just fot the fun of it, I did a quick - less than 20 minutes - sketch of Michael Chiklis as Victor Samuel "Vic" Mackey from the TV Series "The Shield".

I've been wanting to sketch him for quite a while now so I just did it. Unfortunately the image size was so small I could not work on it anymore. Instead of throwing it away I decided to give Inkscape's bitmap tracing capabilities a try. And it saved the sketch, as far as I'm concerned.

I've always had problems drawing everyday poses so I had to make a try. Based on a cellphone pic and done on krita with my trusty old intuos 2 wacom tablet.

Taking Krita to ride - Pancadinha is almost asleep

Just a quick sketch I did a couple nights ago. I'm still learning how to draw hair...

Underneath My Skin

"Holding on to.. the sweet escape.."

I just can not stop listening to that song.. And wathing the video on youtube

Anna Paquin - 2nd try - Piano [WIP]

Still can't stop sketching Anna Paquin. Now I've sketched a still frame from her first movie, for which she got an Oscar: Piano.

Anna Paquin - 1st try

I've always been a huge fan of Anna Paquin. I cannot recall one single movie with her which I did not enjoy, even partially. She even saved the X-Men trilogy.

I'm tiered, sleepy and my hands hurt. I just could not go to sleep before doing a sketch of her. I'll do a better job next time...

Kirsten Dunst [WIP]

I had just finished watching Elizabethtown when this urge to sketch Kirsten Dunst took over me.. again. This time I wasn't so strong in my objections, or lazyness, so I just did a quickie..

The Dead Zone - Sheriff Walter T. Bannerman

Continuing my sketches of the dead zone characters: Sheriff Walter T. Bannerman, played by Cris Bruno

Alicia Silverstone - Batgirl [WA]

I never really understood how Joel Schumacher, who had done some marvelous movies, could do such a dreaded piece as Batman & Robin. I don't mean that it is poor job. It was so wretched that it obviously took a lot of effort to make that especific kind of movie.

How come the guy who made "St. Elmo's Fire", "The Lost Boys", "The Client", "Falling Down", "A Time to Kill", "8mm" and "Flatliners" could do something like "Batman & Robin" escapes my reasoning. Even with the studios forcing a "kid's friendly Batman" I cannot understand how he was able to do a campier version of Batman than the 60 TV series.

I try, really hard, to think of it as some kind of Warholesque apropriation of mas media material and an exposition of how stupid it can be.

The only thing I recall of this movie with a little enthusiasm is Alicia Silverstone taking the Batgirl mantle. The scenes were terrible but the imagery was enough to make me want to draw her quite often.

This is an Work Abandoned [WA], as I did lots of mistakes early on and do not with to redraw the whole thing. I'm just posting it as a reminder to myself to analise the structure and lighting better before shading and doing the textures...

Dr. Molly Caffrey - Carla Gugino [WIP]

I've been a big fan of Threshold (TV series) for quite a while. I've become quite angry with the fact that there is no DVD set of the show in Brasil. I'd love to watch the extras, especially those parts where they are supposed to be talking about the future of the show, had it not being canceled.

So I present you my first sketch of a Threshold character: Dr. Molly Caffrey.

Intuos 2, Krita over a Debian Sid.

Johnny Smith [WIP]

Continuing my Dead Zone frenzy, the one and only John Smith (Anthony Michael Hall). I still have a lot of shading to do but decided to post just the line work for now.
