CLASSIC ARTWORK BY JIM LEE! WOLVERINE VS OMEGA RED!

I was going through one of my archived folders and I found this classic Marvel artwork of Wolverine vs. Omega Red by Jim Lee. This poster is over 15 years old. Yet it still looks amazing.... the perspective in this master shot is definitely on point. And the fluid presentation of the recoiled strikes helps the viewer to clearly imagine what's about to happen next, in this close-ranged "Adamantium war" .

I've never generated an Influence Map that showed the artists who have had great impacts on me and my art style. But If I ever do so, you can expect to see the likes of Terry Dodson, Joe Mad, Marc Silvestri and Jim Lee on that collage.

Jim Lee is just one of those artists that probably doesn't realize just how good he really is. I once saw in an interview that Jim Lee confessed, from way back in his high school days, that he was voted by his classmates to be "likely to start a comic company". Guess those prophetic words by his peers came to pass, since he became the founder of Wildstorm Comics and he's currently one of the top dogs at DC Comics.

SEXY SELFIE FANART OF CHEBEYAH!

Here's another selfie poster of Chebeyah, one of the dominant female characters in the DSNG Sci Fi Series! You can see that the final colored versions differed slightly from the original pencil sketch. And a few faithful fans helped me pick out the one that was best for use as the blog article's flagship image :)
Chebeyah has been around since DSNG Book 1, which was released waaay back in 2010 or so.
You can't really describe Chebeyah as "sexy and seductive"... she's more like "sexy and serious", and the loyal fans know what I mean!
Chebeyah is a female Kataran, one of the many alien races in DSNG. And there are many more pics of Chebeyah archived in this blog, just search for her name in the top left corner box!

 
 

SCI FI FUTURISTIC CONCEPT ARMOR AND COSTUMES - PART 6

Today I return to one of the favorite article series in this blog, featuring costume designs and concept armor! Most fans of this blog are used to seeing Sci Fi designs here, but I often include Fantasy armor designs as well. There is a difference between Sci Fi and Fantasy, even though those two genres are closely related [and a few years ago  I wrote a blog article that explains the difference over HERE].
Anyway, the bulk of the concept art presented in this article are from various sources, such as Huaban.com and DrawCrowd.com.
BTW, Huaban.com is a Korean site, so I wasn't able to find the names of all the artists behind the works. But if you know the artists' name, just let me know on the DSNG facebook page.

 

 

 

 

CONCEPT ART OF BAMBIANA, AKA BAMBI LEE!

Most of the loyal DSNG fans know who Chebeyah is. She is a bold female Kataran with a beautiful physique and a strong mind. Chebeyah was introduced way back in DSNG Book 1 [That classic ebook was formally called DSNG Chronicles I: The Prince's Pride]. And it's almost hard to believe that there are now 14 ebooks in this dynamic sci fi series :)
On the other hand, Bambiana Leebekanovah [aka Bambi Lee] is a newer female character, since she was introduced in DSNG Book 14 [Over here]. And as shown below, she is a voluptuous blonde female Kataran with a cheerful disposition and a motherly heart. Bambi Lee is actually a milf, since she has two kids, while Chebeyah is technically single - although Chebeyah is currently dating some Kataran guy called Zolmon, in the latest storyline.

You can easily find a lot of colored posters of Chebeyah on the Web by typing "Chebeyah DSNG" in Google. But colored pictures of Bambi Lee are quite rare. This article is the first time I've uploaded pics Bambi, outside of  the DSNG facebook page. And the last sexy pic on the right is straight from the drawing board. Hopefully I'll do more pics of Bambi Lee in the future!

   

NEW 2015 SEXY COSPLAY - FEMALE SUPER MARIO, HARLEY QUINN, POWER GIRL!

From my internet searches, I found several Cosplay posters back in December... including someone's 40-year-old Mom posing as a young Power Girl at one of the Comic cons.... not that I care what certain adult people's hobbies are. Anyway, I've added about five photos to the mix. And one of these pics is actually a digital painting... can you fluently guess which one?

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM ELENA EDEN AND DSNG!

This is a fan art poster that I was working on yesterday, while watching some NBA games...

Elena Eden is one of the sexy female characters from the DSNG Sci Fi Series; her personality is upbeat and humorous. Elena is a trusted ally of Prince Azzar and she made her debut way back in DSNG Book 1. And even though she often acts like a dumb blonde, she's extremely intelligent. More pics of Elena are archive in this past blog article, over Here.

To all the true DSNG fans, I hope you had a Merry Christmas!
And Thanks again for all your support!

EXPLORING DSNG PART 24 - CONCEPT ART OF THE OGRES AND DSNG BOOK 14!

When you hear the term "Ogre", chances are, your mind will drift to the World Of Warcraft and their green monstrous-looking beings. That can be viewed as one particular artistic vision. And even the classic cartoon from 1985, Disney's Gummi Bears, had a host of Ogres, while the 3D character "Shrek" is also an Ogre. And in the DSNG Sci Fi Megaverse, the Ogres do exist. But they are completely different, in terms of their genetics and appearances.

Here are some sample concept art posters showing Ogres that I gathered from around the web: 

 



So what is an Ogre? Simply put, the Ogres in DSNG are hybrid beings. Remember, in the DSNG tales, there are 7 major planets: Erion, Avera, Taran, Macur, Scalata, Planoris and Entrados. If you're familiar with this blog, then I'm sure that you've already met the four-armed Scalatans in the former articles; and you've also seen the Entradans in another archived blog post.
 
So the Ogres are actually a genetic mixture of Scalatans and Entradans. And this is where the unique style of the DSNG Ogres comes into play.
The Scalatans have horns, four arms, four eyes [or even six eyes] and sharp "dorsal spikes" on their backs that can sprout to yield Gargoyle-like wings. Plus the Scalatans have red, purple, magenta and even pink skin. Conversely, the Entradans have just two arms and two feet, while they can be endowed with mystic abilities; plus some Entradans are Lizardians. And the Entradans have red, blue, orange and golden  skin.
So when aliens from those two disparate races mate and produce offspring, the hybrid child ends up being stronger and tougher than his/her parents. And that mixed Ogre child may have multiple horns, two arms, four arms, four eyes, three eyes, or even just one central eye, etc.

Some Ogres are giants, while others are regular-sized humanoids. And they all have teeth that can morph into sharp fangs, at the speed of thought.

In the latest ebook DSNG Book 14, one of the main plots is an adventure that involves a small band of Ogres, namely Sokov Schwarz, Odesa Montegra, and Go-Ran. Two other Ogres introduced are named Zandin and Zamrah.

As you can see in the sci fi poster / wallpaper below, the DSNG Ogres are far more sophisticated in their appearance than the standard Ogres that you find in other video game and entertainment franchises. Remember that DSNG is set in a sci fi world; thus everyone and everything created has to fit, in terms of the technology that exists.

Most of the Ogres are usually considers as Entradans. and their home world Entrados is referred to as a Steampunk World, where dragons and draco-hounds exist like roaming wild horses, in certain regions. But of course, the magic spells projected from law enforcement units keep those wild creatures in check, so they don't wreak havoc on the populations within the city districts.

 As hybrid beings, the Ogres are not dumb and clumsy; instead they are extremely sharp and gifted. And whenever you see the word "gifted" in the DSNG tales, think of it as an acronym for: "having one or more super abilities".

Standing at 6 feet 8 inches tall, Sokov is a former high-school basketball player. And currently he's an ex-con and an independent mercenary. Odesa is Sokov's sexy girlfriend [although she calls him "Master" and the reason for that issue is explained in Book 14]. I know he looks cool and she looks sexy, but I must inform you that these two characters are actually.... ruthless villains.
Honestly, Sokov is a bad guy with a good heart; he's a villain, but he is a father and a thinker, who considers his opportunities very carefully... so he'll even work with the good guys, if he views such a partnership as a means to making immense profits.
Odesa is much younger than Sokov, while she has 4 eyes. They both have super-strength, plus some other special abilities. For instance, Sokov can see in the dark, while he has a mystical Super-mode ability tagged as Wild Coyote Reign.
 
On the other hand, Zandin is a hefty fierce guy and he's about 6 feet 10 inches tall. He has distinctive horns on his forehead, which help to make him more intimidating to his foes. Zandin is married to Zamrah, and she's a beautiful blonde four-armed female Ogre. As shown in the poster above, Zamrah is voluptuous and muscular. Plus she has a diamond-shaped birthmark in the core of her forehead, while she has golden skin like an Averan [and Zamrah gets to meet Azzar in the latest Book 14]. Zandin and Zamrah own a weapons manufacturing firm called Trigun Lancer Weapons Systems.  And they are both villains, who parade as corporate executives.
 
[Prince Azzar is shown on the right, manifesting his Super-mode ability, slightly similar to the Super-saiyan ability in DBZ]

Often my loyal fans forget that there are four different Scalatan clans, who have slight phenotypical differences. Plus there's an archived article that you should also check out, which shows another concept art poster with three female Scalatans, who all look different [HERE]. That blog link will open up in a new window, and the poster in that article helps to reinforce the fact that the Ogres can have a wide variety of appearances, due to the vast diversity within their ancestral gene pool.

[ Shown on the left is Prince Azzar and Lady Lizbeth, from the latest ebook. Lizbeth is a female Newteron]

Now you can see that the art style and concept of Ogres in DSNG completely differs from the Ogres that you find in WOW, or any other MMORPG fantasy world!

And remember, DSNG Book 14 is available now! --> Over Here!
[The ebook is 750 pages, Rated M for Mature]

BTW, This Article is Part 24 of the DSNG Overview series. Part 23 is over HERE!

1980s NOSTALGIA - THUNDERCATS VS HEMAN & SHERA!

Since I was born back in the 1980s, I was introduced to a host of cartoon series that were linked to techno-fantasy and anime themes. I've done blog articles on the Thundercats in the past and I even did some redesigns of Liono and his gifted anthro-pride.
There are lots of posters on the internet that put Liono against Superman and HeMan against Superman. I even saw a long discussion thread on "SheRa VS The Hulk"; and the fanboys just could not make up their minds on who would win.

Yet today, I was thinking about what would happen, if HeMan and SheRa were to take on all of the Thundercats in an all-out brawl! Thats the sort of Epic Battle you could turn into a hit cartoon series or even a blockbuster movie. Of course they are all heroes and in general, heroes don't get involved in death matches... not unless you're a team of Avengers or Xmen and you live in the Marvel Universe and you have nothing better to do.... then you just start a Marvel Civil War and kill each other for nothing :)

I've heard that The Avengers movie franchise will be heading in that direction eventually... its rather pointless to me; but hey, when the Marvel editors and writers run out of ideas, they do sh*t like that LOL.

Btw, the image on the left is from a Spanish Wildstorm comic series titled "Thundrecats perros de guerra" which was not released in the US.

Now back to Heman & SHeRa Vs. Thundercats. Picking a winning group in this battle-royale will be easier said than done; after all, HeMan and SheRa both have mystical swords, but Liono has the Sword of Omens, which has mystical powers of its own. Most fans always believed that Liono's sword could do more than he was aware of, peer the air of mystery that surrounded it. Plus the rest of the Thundercats, when they fight as a singular force, can be pretty hard to beat.
But if I were to really pick a winner, I'd have to go with... the guy who wears the hairy underwear: HeMan. He just comes across as a more experienced fighter, with elite level combat skills - as opposed to Liono, who is actually a kid at heart. Of course Prince Adam is a youth as well, but Heman has always been more mature than Liono.
His sister, She-Ra, will probably take on all of the other Thundrcats [Cheetara, Panthro, Tygra and WilyKit & WilyKat]. SheRa may get beaten up pretty bad, but she'll probably survive with the aid of her sword [which can change form into anything that she wants].
The other T-Cats [like Lynx-O, Pumyra and Bengali] are left out of the mix in this scenario. And their presence would probably change things significantly. And Honestly, if old-man Mum-Ra joined the fight with all the Thundercats... then they'd dial up 1-800-Ass-Whoopin. And Heman would definitely lose.

And in the words of Kurt Angle: Oh its true... its damn true! :)

FAN ART OF HARLEY QUINN - STEP BY STEP

Been busy as hell, working on the next DSNG eBook... Anyway, this was a warm-up sketch that I decided to develop further. And I'll give just four phases: the inks, the base flats, the intermediate colors and the final colors [with the BG].

 

The last two colored images do have slight differences, since a few more textures and shadows were added along with the BG... More fan art is in the blog archives!
