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!

JESSICA RABBIT WALLPAPERS!

Two wallpapers... featuring Yaya Han and some other cosplayer. Thanks to meanhonkey1980 on DA, for one of the backgrounds....

 

There are other articles featuring Yaya Han & Jessica Rabbit in this blog...

THE BLACK CAT [MARVEL COMICS]

Fan art of the Black Cat; this one started out as a warm-up sketch and it kept evolving. Felicia Hardy was one of my fav characters from the 90s Spider-man cartoon, because she always walked the line perfectly - the line between good and evil.

 

There's a classic blog article that I dis featuring the Black Cat with over 20 pin up posters and cosplays of her, over HERE

SUPERMAN FAN ART FROM THE NEW 52!

Here are the inks and colors for a Man of Steel poster that I started working on last week; I posted the pencil version over at facebook, and I tweaked it a little, before I started the digital coloring phase. Its September... and this may be the first Superman poster that I've drawn all year! LOL

 

Check out the articles below for more Superman and Supergirl fan art by the DSNG Artist!!

SPIDERMAN AND HIS AMAZING SPIDER PERSONA!

Just some thoughts today about the Amazing Spiderman. This Marvel character almost didn't get created back in 1962, when the idea was being pitched by Stan Lee [artist] & Steve Ditko [writer] to the editor.
Now fast-forward over 50 years, and Spiderman is a household name, with global fame.
Every comic character has a certain appeal. The respective appeals of Batman [created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger back in 1939] or even Spawn [created by Todd MacFarlane in 1992] are both unque, and they are uniquely different from the vibe that fans get from Spiderman.
 
There's one phrase that best describes why Spidey is so popular: he is down to earth, and he's a friendly neighborhood guy.
Spiderman was first presented as an orphan teenager being raised by his grandparents in a small NY neighborhood. And after getting his powers, he was forced to learn that "with great power comes great responsibility". It's just one of those statements that sticks with you, like the words of the wise.

Additionally, Spiderman has always had a peculiar way with the ladies; he's never too strong or over-confident, he is not a classy billionaire playboy and he certainly can't fly faster than a speeding bullet. But the gals / dames / chicks all seem to love him, as shown in the picture above with Ms. Marvel and Spiderwoman.
[BTW the term "dames" dates back to the 40s and 50s].

If you followed the classic comic stories, you'd think that the affluent young lady Felicia Hardy [Black Cat] would be attracted more to a Bruce Wayne kinda guy; but yet she finds herself constantly being drawn to Peter Parker, because of his appealing persona.

Nevertheless, I think that the best term to describe Spiderman is not just a hero, he's certainly that.... but the better word is a friend. And that word makes his persona magnetic to fans!

There have been tons of graphic novel collections over the decades that have depicted Spiderman. And some that I will recommend for Google and Amazon searches, based on art styles that I like, are "Spiderman Terry Dodson", "Spiderman Joe Madureira", "Spiderman Mark Brooks", "Spiderman J Scott Campbell", just to name a few.
Check them out, when you get a minute!

FUTURISTIC SCI FI DJ COMMISSION - DJ GEMINI 3RD EYE!

Here's a commission that I did last week, featuring DJ Gemini 3rd Eye. He's from NY and he's a loyal DSNG fan. The idea behind this poster was a futuristic DJ booth setup, in a nightclub. I had the freedom to incorporate any themes that I chose, while the main required element was the Numark NV, the turn tables shown in the pic.
During my research, I found out that there are mobile DJ booths and larger ones that are quite fixed [in terms of the fancy elevated table and the stands for the other equipment and the 8-inch monitors, or even larger speakers]. I don't know too much about DJ software, but I heard about Serato Itch from DJ Gemini...

 


Don't forget to give a thumbs up & Stay tuned for more cool art!

SCI FI BABES, FEMALE SUPERHEROES AND CONCEPT ART BY CHUCK PIRES!

I was browsing through the Web when I saw some of these old favs... they just inspired me to draw more sci fi styled art. Artwork by the skilled digital artist and colorist, Chuck Pires. His art is a form of the Cheesecake style. And he  has a cool gallery on Deviantart.

 

The Infinity Poster was for a table top game, dating back to 2007; so I doubt it was connected to the Disney Infinity video games. The last Marvel poster with Red Sonya, She-Hulk and Psylocke is very dynamic. I suspect that he started out with a plain background and then he added all the special effects with Painter / Photoshop...

THE BARONESS FROM G.I.JOE, COSPLAY, SEXY PICS & 2014 COMIC CON PREVIEW

Today we'll focus on The Baroness. She's one of the most unforgettable characters from the G.I.Joe toys / cartoon / movie franchise. And fanboys can't seem to get enough of her on the internet, or at the comic conventions. It might be because of her geeky glasses coupled with her seductive charm; or perhaps its her metallic bra that gives her that extra mojo-boosting "jono-say-qua", or whatever the hell the French call it. Anyway, since the 2014 San Diego Comic Con is coming up this week, I figured that I'd do this article featuring cosplay of the Baroness.
I've been super busy, so I haven't drawn anything to add to the mix. But I'm sure that you'll enjoy all these pinups and pics done by other cool artists... BTW, Thanks to Tremel for sending me the link to the Jenny Poussin Cosplay, which inspired this article!

 




Thanks to Michael Lopez, Turtlechan, BoOom, Dominic Marco and others for their art!

EXPLORING DSNG PART 23 - THE LIZARDIANS AND THE NEWTERONS, ALIEN CONCEPT ART

Today we'll be analyzing some fan art. The Lizardians are one of the intriguing alien races hailing from planet Entrados. The original blog article on that green world is located over HERE. And a Galactic Map showing the 7 major planets of the Makuran Galaxy, including Entrados, is over HERE.

I started drawing the earliest DSNG sketches back in 1999, while the first DSNG comic was published in 2003.  And back then, DSNG was tagged as "The Destiny Series" and I got the copyrights for it. Anyway, the name changed with time; and by 2006 / 2007, DSNG was the new flagship title for my stuff - which is an acronym for "Destiny Series the Neo-Genesis".


[On the right, we have Prof. Rebba Gerradez. And on the left, we have Demy and Bianca. They're all lovely Lizardians]

And as expected, the concept designs for the Lizardians have gone through a lot of evolutions over the years. So I'll be showing you some classic art and new sketches below, as I further explain the Lizardian race and their distant cousins...

Over on planet Entrados [The Steampunk World], there are a couple of alien races coexisting in harmony. Amongst them are the popular human-like Entradans, who have elf ears and four digits on their hands and feet. One of the prominent Enrtadans is Lady Azda, the buff mother of King Titron.
 
The human-like Entradans have a variety of skin tones, ranging from blue and red to orange and brown. Plus some Entradans have facial lines, almost like tribal markings on their faces; while others have facial diamonds located in the center of their foreheads. They are a rather mystical race, so some of their beings are hereditary magicians with a variety of powers. There are also some Entradans that can display Biothermal potential - hence they can unleash fireballs from their epidermal layers, while they can also defy gravity like Prince Azzar and the gifted Centura soldiers.

 
The Lizardians are a peculiar offshoot of the Entradan indigenous people, since they are related to the Newterons, who also have tails and slightly protruding faces. The Newterons are an aquatic race, who reside on planet Macur, and they can survive on the land and in the sea. But on the other hand, the Lizardians aren't really deep-sea swimmers, since they can't breathe underwater. The Newterons and Lizardians both have male and female species, although most of the concept art I'm showing is for their females.

While they both commonly have skin tones that are shades of blue, some of the key distinguishing features between the Lizardians and the Newterons is their tails and their faces. As shown in the nearby sketch,  the Newterons have a flare at the end of their tails, almost like an extra fin; plus they have "V-shaped" indents upon their noses. On the other hand, the Lizardians have "M-shaped" indents on their noses and they have no tail fin.

[Above on the right, we have a black & white pic of Lakinta and Sherza, cheesecake art style. They are female Newteron soldiers; and that's an old concept sketch from 2009 or so; they've both evolved since then, so their faces look more human]

The aquatic Newterons have some V-shaped gill-like slits placed on their biceps and thighs, which help them to breath beneath the waves. The mixed-race Newterons share planet Macur [The Water World] with the all-male Zarchons and the all-female Nauticons. And the current Ruler / Patriarch of the Newteron race is a huge fierce warrior named Lord Kilvrakk, aka the Phantom of Death.

Some of the popular Lizardians that you've heard of are Rebba and Demy. Rebba was featured in DSNG Book 10, and she was in that adventure with Sargon [one of Azzar's mentees]. And during a peculiar conversation between Neil and Geriva, Demy was mentioned in Book 10. And Demy was also in Book 13, since she is the chick that Lho-Khi was being set up on a blind-date with.

[Mr. Gan-Grid is shown on the right!]

And Gan-Grid, a powerful Lizardian male gifted with super-strength, is the current head of the Barracudas; and they are a mobster group from Entrados, who employ a variety of Entradan henchmen. Demy is his lieutenant and she also serves as his dropship pilot. Gan-Grid was shown in Book 10.

In DSNG Book 12 and Book 13, Trizza the Pirate is featured. And she is a voluptuous Lizardian, although her bloodline is mixed with Newteron genes per her grandfather.

Nan-Cee, a classy Newteron lady, was first introduced as far back as DSNG Book 1. You probably didn't notice her at one of the parties presented in that early book. But Nan-Cee is a tall affluent lady, who heads a company called Hercules Manufacturing Inc., which builds MECHs and dropships, over on Taran.

Bianca was shown above in the sketch with Demy; and Bianca is a former member of the Barracudas. She is a sexy female Lizardian with a light-blue skin tone and long hair. She has incredible speed and agility, and she is a ruthless villain from Azzar's past. Bianca used to work for a tall Lizardian guy named Mr. Menson Morati; and Mr. Morati preceded Gan-Grid as the leader of the Barracudas. 

There are other Lizardians and Newterons that will show up in the future DSNG ebooks, so stay tuned for more!

TEN PECULIAR POINTS FROM TRANSFORMERS 4: AGE OF EXTINCTION!

The fourth TF movie has surpassed 100 million dollars at the box office profits, over about 3 days. And it is movies like this that give fanboys and fangirls a blast of action, nostalgia and excitement.  This article isn't much of a review; it's more of a series of positive and thoughtful observations from the movie.

1. Optimus Prime is a bad ass.... and he is an evolving robot, who seems poised to become some sort of grand samurai / robo-sensei warrior.

2.Optimus Prime was getting his Matrix on, at the end of the TF4 movie, since he blasted off into the sky, gaining the ability to fly without his jet-fire backpack and thrusters, which he used in the TF2 and TF3 movies. Plus Prime no longer needs his tractor trailer, which he usually lugs around in the cartoons and the former movies.

3. The Earth / neighboring galaxies are full of wandering transformers that come to Earth whenever they feel like it, since most of the new guys, like Crosshairs and Hound, seemed to have popped up out of nowhere.... while the Autobot Wreckers who were in the TF3 movie, were nowhere to be found. But I'm guessing that other guys like Bulkhead, Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus [from the cartoon series] will probably make cameos in the next TF movie, which may take place partially on Cybertron...

4. The Dinobots are portrayed as.... four robotic renegades / giant rouge robots with a large bounty on their heads; since Lockdown the robo-bounty hunter [who strangely has Galvatron's original gun-morphing ability] had captured the Dinobots from an undisclosed location.

5. There were no former Decepticons shown in the movie, except for the old head of Megatron and I think Starscream [or some other villain]. So I'm guessing the Decepticons were all... scared of Lockdown and his crew of bounty hunters, so they were all hiding away around the globe.

6. Optimus Prime said: "I'll kill you all!" more times than he said: "Autobots, roll out!" LOL. And I noticed that Bumblebee still needs to get his voice modulator fixed, after more than five years.... WTF?

7. I don't think Grimlock actually said a single word in the entire TF4 movie.... but chances are, he didn't have to; since actions speak louder than words... But his origins were not truly explained in the entire movie, and he did deserve more screen time.

8. Mark Whalberg did a good job of portraying his character as a robotics genius and an overprotective father. His daughter's boyfriend, Shayne [played by Jack Reynor], who seems to be a stunt driver, was a bit of a coward. But at least Shayne came through near the end, when Optimus Prime needed help during the last battle against Lockdown. Personally, I think that as a Prime, Optimus is in a higher strength class than Lockdown, and the Primes are not that easy to kill [as Megatron always says in the cartoons]. So the battle against Lockdown should have been really one-sided, with Prime practically whooping his candy ass all over the dusty industrial site.


9. Where were the lovely female Tansformers, like Elita-One?? Are they back on Cybertron, or were they on the run somewhere on planet Earth?

10. And apparently the extinction of the ancient dinosaurs on Earth was caused by.... ancient transformer battle-cruisers and warships that came to earth, over 65 million years ago. Don't give me that look; that's what Micheal Bay thinks, so its must be true, Damn it!!

All right, check out the former blog article with over 10 posters featuring the Autobots and Decepticons from the new movie over HERE!

BUFFIE THE BODY AND MIA NEXZON!

This brief article features fan art of Mia Nexzon from the DSNG Sci Fi series. I often use Buffie The Body as a reference for drawing Mia, in terms of her phenotype.
Having a slight temper problem and a stunning hourglass figure, Mia is one of Prince Azzar's love interests in the current DSNG storyline. And Azzar currently mentors Mia's first son, Sargon [who is a highly intelligent Alpha Senturi soldier]. Sargon is actually the youngest Deputy Commander in the history of the Centura. And his mentor, Azzar, is the Senior Commanding Officer of the Centura forces, working under the two Generals, Wes and Obed.
Mia is a sexy unique character with a strong mind, a motherly heart and an intriguing past. She actually lost her husband and the father of her two kids, General Zadoc Nexzon, in the First Averan Civil War; so due to that incident, she became well accustomed with pain. Yet she was also like a surrogate mother to one of the young soldiers named Don Oden, the best friend of Sargon, many years before the war - since Don lost his mother and elder brother when he was just a teenager. Mia also has a daughter named Carla, who is a pop diva. And Carla performed at the Helios Mega Dome, back in DSNG Chronicles Book 1]. 
Presently Mia works in the Averan Historical Center, where she helps to archive the history of the unified nation and its major events.

Per their steamy interactions in DSNG Book 9, Azzar and Mia can probably be tagged as intimate friends, although Mia desires more of a permanent commitment from her regal playmate...

  
  
On the other hand, Buffie retired from being as an urban / Hip-hop model several years ago. She is currently a certified fitness trainer and she has a popular Youtube page...

EXPLORING DSNG PART 22 - LADY TRISHAT ZONG!

Those fans familiar with the DSNG ebooks have probably heard of the name "Lady Trishat Zong". She is Prince Azzar's stepmother and she is the mother of Tekshat and Tek-Hon [Azzar's half-brother, and one of the Top 5 Gorilla Agents - the Gorillas are one of the many evil factions in the DSNG Sci Fi Series].
Lady Trishat is often referred to as the alien Jessica Rabbit, per her stunning hourglass figure. Standing at 6 feet tall, Lady Trishat has light-purple skin and an exotic physique. She is also often called the Foreign Queen, since she was secretly married to Azzar's father, King Vaygon Omenus, many decades ago.
And back in those days, prior to the First Averan Civil War, King Vaygon was a co-ruler of planet Avera, along with King Valon Omenus, his younger brother. And King Valon's mistress was Lady Azda, who is the mother of King Titron [the current monarch of planet Avera].

 

[Lady Trishat Zong, the alien Jessica Rabbit, wearing a corset bustle dress. She is sexy, curvy, voluptuous, thick, phat etc]

While Lady Trishat was married to King Vaygon, for various reasons the Averan people showed more reverence and respect towards her, as opposed to revering Lady Azda, who was a powerful gladiator and a gifted being.
As proved by the national laws that she helped to initiate and per her conduct in the royal courts, Trishat was [and still is] an intelligent woman with a very big heart and an extroverted / funny personality. Trishat, who was a renowned lawyer prior to marrying one of the co-rulers of Avera, has the habit of speaking her mind. So in the ebooks she is usually very blunt and incisive, when she speaks with others. And she currently has an entourage of four protectors: Candice, Carine, Keri and Ron-Zon.....

DSNG BOOK 13 [THE HUNT, PART 2] HAS BEEN LAUNCHED AT AMAZON.COM!

The explosive ebook DSNG Book 13 has been launched at Amazon! Most fans are aware of the fact that DSNG Book 12 ended up being about 800 - 900 pages long, thus it had to be broken up into two lengthy tales, which are sequentially connected.
LINK TO DSNG BOOK 13:--> OVER  HERE.   AND DSNG BOOK 12: --> RIGHT HERE  

Although you do see the heroes in the story, both of the ebooks focus upon the bad guys and their adventures. Hence you get a candid glimpse at Tek-Hon, Lho-Khi, Ska-Rusk and Ms. Zevah, as they continue the mission tagged as Operation Mystic Hand. These four villains are part of the Top 5 Gorilla Operatives [the Gorillas are one of the many super-villain groups in the DSNG series]. And the four of them were shown on the Front Cover of DSNG Book 9 [The Reckoning].

Tek-Hon the Dark Swordsman was shown on the cover of DSNG Book 12 [The Hunt, Part 1], while Prince Azzar, Tek-Hon's stepbrother, is shown on the cover of DSNG Book 13 [The Hunt, Part 2].

As gifted young men, Azzar and Tek-Hon were both trained as Alpha Senturi black-ops soldiers. Both of them have super-strength, although they are not the most powerful warriors in the Makuran Galaxy, in terms of the heavy load that they can lift. And although Tek-Hon is faster that his half-brother, he cannot fly and project fireballs like Azzar can.

Azzar Omenus was trained in CQB techniques by Lady Azda, a fierce female gladiator and the mother of King Titron. Titron is Azzar's strong lascivious cousin, who rules over planet Avera.
On the other hand, Tek-Hon Zannibor was trained by Zord Raiden, the legendary Entradan swordsman, a red-skinned guy who was an expert at fighting with two swords held in both of his hands [for a total of four blades, held like a dual pair of scissors].

Both Zord and Lady Azda hail from Entrados, the Steampunk World [one of the 7 major planets in the Makuran Galaxy]. And Tek-Hon, who has a very lenghty and ominous resume, actually spent several years working as a treasure hunter over on Entrados, after he walked away from planet Avera and his life as a Prince within the Imperial Palace.

Yes, Tek-Hon was once treated like a Prince, because his beautiful Scalatan mother, Lady Trishat Zong, was married to Azzar's father, King Vaygon Omenus [who was one of the co-rulers of Avera back in those days, due to the presence of King Valon, who was Titron's dad]. And Lady Trishat is often referred to as an alien Jessica Rabbit, in terms of her figure.

In the ebooks, Tek-Hon is often called The Killer of Killers or The Dark Swordsman. And Tek is probably one of the moodiest villains to ever be created; but he's such a bad-ass that it's impossible not to respect him and his fighting skills. And in DSNG Book 13, the fans get a glimpse into his troubled past, in order to gain an idea of how he became cold-hearted and introverted. Most of the major characters in this Sci Fi series have a long private history, which plays out in the ebooks. And Tek's history is over 10 pages long...

Several years ago, when I started this blog back in 2010, I candidly informed the fans that this Sci Fi series was inspired by Star Wars and DBZ. Yet honestly, a lot of fans don't see DSNG and think of either of those aforementioned series.
The thing is, the concept of a super-soldier or a four-armed alien is not new; its just the way that the concept is interpreted that can be completely groundbreaking. And I'm proud to say that DSNG is... different, from any Sci Fi series out there. And that is a good thing.
Thanks for being a fan! We've got 13 long ebooks in the records, so Stay Tuned for more!

DISNEY PRINCESS JASMINE FAN ART!

I did this sexy commission of Princess Jasmine recently, drawn in the DSNG style. I'm also using this post to test my blog... need to see if everything is working properly, plus I'm testing some facebook widgets... Click on the images for larger views...
