Lo Rez

More MS paint drawings.
Remind me never to save as JPG from paint.
Its Craptacular.

-Gabe "Time to clean house" Pinto

Ms. Paint Returns

Read into this whatever you want.
I know what it means.
And you don't.
So there.

-Gabe "Thunder Lizard" Pinto

Watch Me Draw 2: Draw Harder

Watch me do my thing.

I've had this line stuck in my head for the last couple of days.

"Good Morning/ Look at the valedictorian/ Scared of the future while I hop in the DeLorean"
-Mr. West

-Gabe "The ewok of comics" Pinto

More chubby Wonder Women

BBWW from the last couple of days. Something called Christmas got in the way of me posting these.

-Gabe "The medicine tastes great." Pinto

Hulk + BBWW

A Hulk illustration I decided to stop working on.
And some fat Wonder Woman sketches for a piece i plan on working on once i finish up my other piece.

-Gabe "Give me candy" Pinto

WIP

Started working on one of the sketches yesterday. This is the color mock up of the piece so far.

Also, Lupe Fiasco's The Cool is pretty awesome I must say. Better than Food & Liquor? Only time will tell.

-Gabe "Hip-Hop Saved My Life" Pinto

Womens

Some Bond-esque women. I very much enjoy the one with the guns. The other is the start to a personal piece I'm working on for portfolio reasons.

-Gabe "Little Weapon" Pinto

Monkeys, Hulks and Heads

Sketches from the last couple of days.
1- Rex Mantooth Sketches.
2- Hulk sketches
3- Mostly Drek Tommler designs + a superman head.

-Gabe "I step in Hog Heaven" Pinto

Back to sketchin'

I'm starting to wonder if doing a sketch a day for this blog is better or worse than changing the format to a finished illustration every 2-3 days. The problem with the latter idea is the high possibility of falling off schedule.

Something to ponder.

-Gabe "The Grouch" Pinto

#99 & #100 DONE!

#100 Anna#99 Svea
That's it. Back to regular sketching. It was fun. I really wish I finished on a stronger drawing.

-Gabe "I blow spots like Waco, Texas" Pinto

#98 Polina

Sugar....
AAWWW Honey Honey

#90 Ariel #89 Veronica
Only 10 more. Get em while they're hot.

In other news, Hajime no Ippo (i.e. the boxing manga I've been reading for the past couple of months) is amazing. The last couple of chapters dealt with Ippo finally facing Sendou for the japanese title belt. What a fantastically drawn and scripted fight.

For Serious.

Apparently Raekwon & Ghostface dislike the new Wu Tang Album. Mostly due to RZA's production. Ghostface went so far as to call it "wack".

My opinion will be formed later when I listen to it in it's entirety.

-Gabe "More heads for the severing" Pinto

#84 & #85

#85 Isha#84 Julice
The new Lupe Fiasco album is gonna be awesome. The singles that have been released so far make me smile.

I loves me some Lupe. He also has an awesome fashion sense.

#73 Maxy

Been on an NES kick as of late. Emulators help satisfy this. Little Nemo is ridiculously hard. As is Kid Icarus. Thank god for save state.

-Gabe "Thanks, Mario, but the princess is in a different castle." Pinto

#72 Dasha

I've been feeling the need to exaggerate the figure more and more in hopes of better understanding the muscle groups and such. This may be a theme for the next several days.

-Gabe "Kid Icarus" Pinto

#70 & #71

#71 Alice#70 Veronika

Highlights on the past week:
Scott Pilgrim is awesome. Jay-Z's American Gangster is more great than bad. Frank Quitely is a genius of subtlety. World War Hulk was a letdown. And now I'm goin to watch Freaks & Geeks.
