More colour please.

Heeeellooooooo.

In my ongoing quest to better myself ( by stealing what I can of other artists )( ssshhhh ), I've decided to learn how to paint in a more fully rendered way as opposed to the flat, cartoony way.

There are sooo many wicked painters on Deviant Art.

Although I ended up doing mostly my own thing, I was really inspired by this drawing http://gueuzav.deviantart.com/art/Flore-125934783. Take the time and check the other pieces out.

Cheers for now,
Ren

Monkey Girl, meet DrawMonkey.

Helloooooo,

A wicked artist who's blog is at http://yearinmerde.blogspot.com/ has an awesome character called Monkey Girl. He had asked a while ago if anybody wanted to draw her in their own style to do it. I figured it was about time for Monkey Girl to meet DrawMonkey... seems fitting, don't you think?

Cheers,
Ren

Bastion's 7.

Here's one I did for CHEEKS' Bastion's 7 contest he had over the holidays. The theme was to draw a character of his own Bastion's 7 comic and make it our own. I threw in his logo chasing after his character for gags sake.

Enjoy,
Ren

His and Her's.

Here's a pic I did while the wife, the in-laws, and I were watching Love Actually ( yes, chick flick, but a good one... really... watch it, you'll understand ). I was actually going for more of a french style but I'm happy with what came of it.

Cheers all,
Ren

Contra final.

Hello all. Here are the finishing parts of my homage to Contra. Hope you likes it.

Happy Holidays everybody.

Ren.

Contra part 1, 2, and 3 of 4... I think

Hello all,

Aaahhh, Crimas. It's a good time to relax and update your blog. Oh, and I guess hanging with the inlaws is pretty darn fun too.

An excellent artist on Deviant Art ( http://lerms.deviantart.com/ ) other arters to join in an art jam. The theme being homages or emotions of an NES cover art, I just had to jump on that.

I picked Contra.

Hopefully I'll be able to colour it before work start again in the new year.

Cheers and Happy Everything you celebrate during this time... and if you don't, just have fun, will ya?,
Ren

Back from the dead.

Hello everybody. I haven't posted in what feels like an eternity mostly because work is keeping me extremely busy... and I got sick... and I got an iPhone.

Here's one that took a while to do for the above reasons and cause it has more work put into it than any other piece I've done up to now. It's a little boy whom my wife knows through people who's nine I believe and has lost his leg to bone cancer. We were really touched by this story so one thing we did was that at our wedding, instead of having the glass clinging that everybody else in the world does ( and that the caterers didn't want us to do ), we told everybody that they'd have to donate money to a little piggy bank set at the head table. We thought that would also limit the amount of awkward kisses we'd have to do.

We were wrong.

The good side of this story is that we raised a nice bit of money for the little boy. Although it's still weird to have smooched so much with some co-workers and our boss there to see all that unfolding.

Oh yeah, we got out of his mother/aunt/I'm confused as to who it was now that his favorite hero is Super Mario... hence him with Super Mario.

Told you I'd be back...

Here ya go. Adventure with the coolest kid in the woods. Now to go hang out with my wife and watch zombie movies in preparation of Halloween... yeah, we like to get ready well in advance.

Hope you enjoy.

Cheers,
Ren

( by the way, that title works better if you read the following post before this one :D )

That's Mr Husband to you.

Hey folks, I'm back. It apparently takes the drawing out of you if your computer's in the shop for about 3 weeks while you also have to get ready for a wedding... YOUR wedding.

I've also been geeking out majorly on anything space related.

So I drew something space related.

I took my time for the line work but did a quick colour job. I wanted to try it all sketchy like.

Hope you like it.

I'll be posting a whole lot more now that I can relax.

Cheers,
Ren

I hate computers.

Here are a couple of new ones I've been working on lately. The Green Lantern I did today for a gift for someone. I don't think I've ever drawn so fast. And especially with my computer acting like a real butthole, I'm surprised I got it done at all.

Zelda's almost fully coloured so that should be done soon... as long as my computer doesn't die.

Hold on old fella... HOLD ON!!!

Yay first!

There we go Fagan. We have a comic... page.

Cheers,

Ren

Almost there.

Wow. This one's taking forever. First colour. I think I like them.

Cheers,
Ren

One more step...

The cleanup didn't come out as well as I was hoping ( I wish I had a good WACOM... or a Cintiq... mmmmm, Cintiiiiiiq ) but still happy with it. Now the fun part of adding colour and them there words... tomorrow.

Cheers,
Ren

Dead? Me? Yes... but I'm back.

So I've been busy for the last while and I think I've already lost some oomf. But I have good reasons to have been away from my drawing table... really... umm...

... this is one. And I would say that it's a good reason. For those of you who are wondering, YES!, it was a wicked show. I can't believe old folks like that can still move. We were probably more tired watching them then they were playing 'till midnight-ish on a Monday night.

Only one eye...

Here ya go. Hopes ya like it as much as I'm going to like going to bed right now.

Cheers,
Ren

Halfway there.

Now it's ready for colour.

I've had Step By Step from the Backstreet Boys in my head aaaalll damn day and posting every step of this piece is not helping at all.

Step By Step,
oo babehhh,
Gonna get to you giiiiiiiiirl.

Help,
Ren

Oh boys... !

I've started noticing how most of my favorite artists to check out do comic books, or at least post comic pages. Then I started wondering if there was a connection to the fact that their such great artists and the medium they chose.

After thinking about it, I've decided to give sort of a purpose to my drawings, or just drawing in general. I'm going to try and draw in a more comic style. So, as often as I can do it, I'm going to try and draw as if I'm making a one page comic... maybe two. Since I'm not much of a writer, I've asked my friends to write some shorts for me, but this one was all Ren.

Cheers,
Ren

The Dr sees all... in COLOUR

Yay. Well, this one took a little longer than I thought due to sicknesses, wedding plans, not being here, and other excuses... err, I mean, reasons.

Hope you likes,
Ren

Baby steps

So here's the cleanup version of the Dr and my fiancé hanging out behind my back. I didn't have time to scan it all in and patch it all together nice and neat like. But you get the idea.

Next step, colour.

Cheers.

Someone has a crush on someoooonnne

Meeka's ( my fiance ) asked me to do a drawing of her and David Tennant ( a.k.a. Dr. Who ) so I finally sat down in front of the drawing board tonight and got this clean-ish rough done. I think I like it but the final verdict will have to wait 'till tomorrow night... or the day after.

In any case, hope you enjoy.

Salut.
