Scout Trooper

Hey everybody, Merry Christmas! Here is a new design I made, potentially for a t shirt if it get's picked up on teefury or somewhere else. If not it will be on my redbubble. Also if you haven't, or weren't aware of it yet, I now have an official facebook page for illustration. If you have a minute or two please go and like it. All you need to do is search teeketch illustration on facebook and you can find the page. Oh and lastly here is the art I was talking about.

Snake?

Arts for you.

Mathmatical!

Hey there people, just got a new design for you to take a peek at! See you later!

lady?

Mr. Peanut

This is just a poster I did after Mr. Peanut was suggested to me as subject matter. I think it came out alright. Was going for sort of a retro(ish) vibe.

Redbubble

Hey everyone, just a quick update, I have made a redbubble account where I will be posting most/all of my tee designs for purchase. Go to www.redbubble.com/people/teeketch and check out some cool stuff. Also feel free to comment with suggestions for designs you'd like to see.

Just some dude.......random

Hey everybody I know it has been a while since there has been an actual update with some substance. Well I have a few things happening right now, I am pushing forward pretty good with getting more of my work out there and more of my designs. I just had a design for sale on Teefury on thanksgiving which was awesome and I got some really nice feedback. I am going to keep making more designs and submitting them there and other similar websites. Though some people have mentioned missing the shirt and if it would be available anywhere else, this is a good question. I'm not sure mainly because I don't know where else, I mean there is redbubble but in order for me to make even a slight profit from red bubble the shirt needs to sell in the upper $20 range and I don't know how people feel about that. I may just put them up anyways and let people decide themselves. Also I have been thinking about potentially "moving" the blog to tumblr. This is weird for me because I barely grasp how blogspot works and lord knows what I would do with a tumblr. If anyone has any input on that leave a comment or something, help me out. Anyways here is an illustration, pretty random but I think it's cool.

thundercats redux

Teefury design for sale

A couple sketches.

Hey everybody here are a couple sketches done the other night. They might go somewhere, they might not. About 5-10 minutes a piece. See you later.

Batgirl

Red Robin (no not the restaurant)

This is another shot at practicing with digital painting. The whole thing was done by myself and I think it turned out ok. Any comments or critiques are welcome.

Page samples

These were some sample comic pages, just a quick thing done in about 6 hours. It was for a potential job which I probably should have admitted was a little over my head at first but I got the experience and am better for it. I wish I had more time for the pages or a story to already plotted as again this was done in 6 hours from inception to realization. Anyways thanks for looking.

Ham

Locust FOREVER!

This was an idea I had today in anticipation for the launch of Gears of War 3. Anyways this is sort of a play on the old propaganda posters, but for the Locust. Yes I am going to do a COG one as well. Anyways I hope you all dig it.

Starfox

Bleach

fan art

Wind

This is a character creating when just messing around in PS. He isn't human and has "clouds" for blood haha. I know weird. Also if anyone is interested the tattoo is a cloud with a face blowing wind.

Breaking Benjamin - Give me a sign

Oh man, it has been a while.

Hey there well sorry for the lack of updates honestly I have just been very forgetful lately. I am working and making art just not posting :/ Oh well here are a view things and hopefully I can get this train back on track!

Just you know sketching out a Savage Grenadier from the upcoming Gears of War 3 which I couldn't be more excited for. Oh that subject oh man there are some awesome games coming out in the very near future. This is great news for me for many reasons. One I love games and gaming, I like the challenges but even more so I like the stories. By this I mean not only the narrative of the actual games themselves but also the stories acquired while playing the game with friends. The late nights playing Call of Duty until 3 in the morning when you have be up early for work. The instant time jump of jumping into a game with someone you may not have talked to for months or maybe even years and yet you pick right up where you left off because you both share an equal foundation in your love of games. Lastly the art, I am an artist and love art as well, personally game art is where I find a lot of my favorite pieces. I have played games solely on the design of the protagonist. I am just really into art and design and games nowadays are hitting home runs. I get engulfed in the textures and the detail and the fantastic character models. I think it's because I also love designing characters and shaping worlds around them that I am so drawn to these things that are presented so great in today's games. I would love the chance to make a game. I think it would be fantastic. Anyways I've rambled for long enough, any plugs? Hmm oh yeah for anyone who reads this and draws on a tablet pick up a smudgeguard, honestly, they changed the game. Also if anyone hasn't for whatever reason try and get your hands on any of the Miyazaki storyboard books or any of the art of books for any of his films, it's incredible stuff. Anything else I can't remember. 

Air Nimbus design

This is just a design I came up with playing on the Air Canada logo with the Nimbus cloud from Dragonball/Z

UPDATE: I made some alternatives as well

Just some stuff

Hey everybody just kind of checking in. Sorry for the sporadic nature of updates lately, I've been really busy with designing stuff and working out some stuff for a new comic strip. Yeah so new comic strip inu the works called "Wold Boy" I will probably have some art up soon. But onto other things I've been doing a ton of designs lately, a lot of pop culture stuff, just for fun/ teefury submissions. I think it would be sweet if they chose to print one of my designs but I like it also because it get's me working and designing things which aside from illustration is also something I love to do. Oh and hey I am probably going to do an album review write up thing about Charlie Simpson's album Young Pilgrim within the next few days so if you're interested in my opinion on things then you know stay tuned for that. Also if you get the chance check out the documentary "The Pixar story" very good and interesting. Anyways I think that's about it. See you next time, same bat time, same bat channel.

New design

Tarot Cards

Hey there everybody. Ok so I just recently (like today) decided that I wanted to set a new project goal for myself and that project is a deck of tarot cards. Now I don't really believe in all the crazy stuff associated with them I just thought it would be cool. I am just using the standard 21 card deck with the 0 fool card. I will be designing an illustration for all (22 total) card as well as the backing of the cards (which will be the same for all) and possibly designing a box/case for them to go in. Anyways I have completed the first two cards and I hope you dig them.

So the text font/size is just fill right now until I decide on something I am 100% happy with but I think it works for now and who knows maybe I will come to like it fully. Ok well until next time, stay awesome.

Oh hey, don't mind the face

Original character - Detective Hollow. Oh yeah he's the invisible man too.

More to come.

more practice

More color practice. Drawn by David Yardin colored by me.

David Finch, Batman and me.

This is a Batman done by David Finch. I am just practicing colors. Lines=David Finch. Colors=ME. Anyways good day :D

Brett Dennen - Someday

Type is awesome!

Messing around with typography and text as illustration. I think it's ok :/ Also I got to see TBS live a couple days ago and all I can say is they were amazing, such a great show. If you ever get the chance to see them you need to. Well that's it, see you next time.

Charlie Simpson - Cemetery

Oh no a walking eye!

Just working some retro(ish) style designs. Trying to be minimal about the designs while remaining faithful to the source material. Hope you dig it.

Yellowcard - Soundtrack

Stuff for you

Hey there so this is a sketch of Lupin and his crew done earlier today (about an hour maybe?)

Also I am kicking around a lot of ideas right now. Different story ideas and different ways to get those stories out. I hope to have something up here soon but we will see. It is semi-related to this piece but at the same time different. And that is just one idea. Oh well I hope everything is good with you all. See you soon :D

Breath of Fire

Just some penciled lines with the levels adjusted in photoshop. Will probably be working with this more.

Sight beyond sight

Just a quickish design

Sketch(y)

Hey there well this is just a sketch of a crazy samurai type guy. I think the design is cool. Hope you dig it.

Hearing: Brandon Flowers - Hard Enough

Watching: The Akihiko Yoshida fan Tumblr

Playing: Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands

Comics are coming back!

Ok so I decided to get back to doing comic strips and this is the first one. I am still figuring out my own style so I wouldn't invest to much into the look of this one if I were you, because odds are it will change. I love making comics and telling jokes so I couldn't stay away. I am going to do my best to be better :D

Chocolate

It was Monday which meant another foreign movie. This weeks choice was "Chocolate"

I had seen it before and it was just as awesome the second time. A really cool concept and some awesome fight scenes. Anyways in regards to last weeks movie "The man from nowhere" it was also awesome, very interesting and entertaining. Anyways I am on vacation for the next week so I hope to get some art up on here for you all. Well until next time, stay classy interwebs.

Mumford & Sons - Winter Winds

Detective Conan

Hello everybody. Ok so not sure if I said it on here but this past weekend I had to do a factory reset on my computer so I lost everything. Oh well though, I threw this together since I finally got photoshop up and running again (plus I needed a new wallpaper and love this show.) Well I hope you think it's swell.

Say whaaaaaaatttttt

Hey there everybody just checking in letting you know what's going on. I am working on stories and art for you all to feast your minds on however at the end of last week my computer goofed and I had to do a factory reset. Yeah, not so good considering I lost everything, all art, writing I've done. EVERYTHING :'( But, what can you do? I'm over and I've decided I am just going to keep plugging away and keep creating and staying positive about everything. Anyways today is a Monday which is foreign movie Monday. Foreign movie Monday (FMM) is something me and my friend started on a Thursday actually but then decided to make it a regular thing and chose Monday's. We've seen so far "I saw the devil" which was absolutely fantastic and I strongly recommend you check it out. If you have a Netflix account it is available on the streaming bit of the sight. Also we have seen "Goemon" which was cool, a little cheesy but still entertaining. Tonight I think we are going with "The man from nowhere" it seems pretty cool.

I think I may do a post every Monday coinciding with these endeavors and giving very brief reviews of the films we watch. Ok well see you later.




Charlie Simpson - Parachutes

2 a.m. ugh

This is what happens at 2 in the morning after 30 minutes of scribbles. Sasuke sharingan. I really enjoy Naruto and Kishimoto is one of my favorite artists. And the sharingan is sooooooo cool, to bad Sasuke is such an emo lame-o.

Taking Back Sunday - Call me in the morning

Taking Back Sunday - All This Now

w.i.p.

Art dump.....

Ok so it's been a few days but here are a few drawings I've done. I've been really into tradition pencil and ink which is what these are. The awkward center spaces are from my scanner being to small and me having to line these up in PS. Well I hope you dig em'.

cool dude?

Eh whatever

This is a Chun Li I did. Might color it, I don't know.

Taking Back Sunday - All This Now

Story?

Hey there well this is just something I wrote at like one in the morning. No real purpose, no real intentions just started with the first line and built it from there. Anyways I hope you dig it and please, please comment about it with what you think. Good or bad, I still love you :D




    The moon shone bright, blanketing the streets with an ominous glare. The night was still and quiet, with nothing but the occasional roar from the patrons in the pub. He walked toward the noise, people meant stories and stories mean information. All faerie tales stem from a grain of truth. This is something he has said repeatedly over the years. As he slowly pushes the door to the pub open he is hit by the sound from within like a wave. Engulfing him, almost overwhelming at first he collects himself and makes his way towards the bar.
"What can I get you?" The bartender rattles off in response to a new face opposite him behind the bar.
"Water." Muttered the traveler. "The roads are long, and the air dry."
"Hasn't rained in quite sometime is true. No one knows why exactly. The people, they prey to the gods to save the crop and deliver rain. But I will tell you friend, the gods, they don't answer. It has people in a bad state." The bartender continues. "People are filled with doubts and some have even been hauled off to the gallows for making proclamations, you see those type of thoughts aren't welcome around here. I find myself in a state of indifference, but such is the tender's way."
Clearing his throat after taking down the first glass the traveler speaks "The people are sure that the lack of rain is a forsaking? There is no suspicion of ill will or misdeeds that may have lead to such and unfortunate state?"
"What are you suggesting my friend? That this is the make of a man? What kind of man may bend the elements of all things to his own will? Surely no such man walks amongst us on this mortal earth." The bartender growing flustered by the remarks of the traveler finds himself in a state of bewilderment at such claims.
"Such men do exist, though when such men have transcended as it were to such a state as to deprive innocents of the barest of natures gifts then they are no longer men. They become something else entirely. These types of men are who I search for. The lost, the forsaken. The one's who would turn against humility and declare themselves above. The damned. Monsters walking amongst men."
The bartender looking shaken and more than a little disturbed asks "And how do you know of such men, such things? Where is it you are from stranger?"
"I am from nowhere. I have no home, no family." The traveler retorted.
"Humph well, we have lodgings if you are looking for a place to lay rest. But I should assure you friend there are no such monster men here. Though I am still hard pressed to believe such things to even exist."
    The night went on as nights do and the traveler found himself in a bed smaller than he was tall in a room that looked as if it were cur out of a wardrobe. As the roar from the bar below began to meld and melt into a murmur the traveler drifted into his thoughts and into a sound sleep where his thoughts became dreams. A vivd dream awaited to tell him if he was indeed on the right path.
    The vast expanse before him lay like a grand chasm of black space. The air was thick and the atmosphere heavy, pushing down on him with such a pressure. The traveler found himself wandering in the dark and yet he could see perfectly clear. The darkness was not off putting to him, he was not shaken by it's never ending appearance. He continued to move forward, almost being drawn forward. He found himself hearing screeches and clatter. Then the darkness subsided some and a small cabin shown itself to him. The cabin was in a nearby wood and had a very malevolent feel. The traveler knew something nefarious lurked within, something evil. He approached the cabin, cautiously, calculated. Aware to not make any noise. He was trained for such long ago and his skills remain sharp as ever. As he approached the door, slowly, methodically, the door flew open, revealing a creature of hideous form. Shrouded in shadows and hidden in blackness all that the traveler could make out were the creatures eyes, and it's teeth. Large razor like teeth, and then, the creature lunged toward him...





Taking Back Sunday - Faith (When I let you down)

Just some drawlin's for y'all

So this is a Hellboy that I'm not sure what I want to do with it yet but these are the lines anyways.

 

The next thing is just a quick Ryu (from Street Fighter) that I did up. Nothing special and yes there are glaring flaws but oh well, fun stuffs.

 

Well until next time............ live long and prosper?

Death Cab For Cutie - A Diamond and a Tether

Say my name.......

So this is a Shazam! poster (Er... Captain Marvel) I was just penciling away at the list I made myself of super heroes to draw and skipped a bit so I could draw him and then I decided a break from just penciling was needed so I scanned it in and whipped this up. About 2 hours I'd say. Hope you dig it.
