Seven Deadly Sins y'all!

Dear loving interwebs,

I am in no way condoning the application of the seven deadly sins. Now that the disclaimer is done, I am excited for the debut of my poster for the CSF study of the seven deadly sins. I was asked to do a poster for the sin "anger" or "wrath". I felt that would be right up my alley. It was. I drew a monster destroying a city, what else could possibly be more relevant?! First I will reveal the first concept drawing, just so you can see the complete change of idea when I started the final poster.

 This was the first idea, and wrath checklist?
-Monster? -yup
-military presence to show physical threat? -yup
-massive amounts of damage?- eh..i mean, hes holding a boat...
- mass chaos and panic- nope, he looks like a toddler in a bathtub.

Obviously you can see why this picture needed to change. Not only the monster needed to change, but the composition, the feeling in it, and the lack of destruction was NOT okay with me. I mean, that doesn't show much wrath..

After much scribbling, and furious pencilling, a new idea emerged, better than the first, much like Terminator and Terminator 2. Except less cyborgs and more MONSTER!!

SO this is what the final product looked like, the stupid blog is being complicated and won't let me upload it for some dumb reason, so here is a link to the picture on my Talenthouse:

Sketch-o-Rama!

Hello, It's me again, writing to my beloved internets. I have been doing a lot of sketching lately, and there are some fun drawings I would like to share with you all. These sketches were and are just practices with using different brushes. I am not as comfortable inking with  a brush as I would like to be, so I spent a nice amount of time during my weekend playing with these different brush pens, it was a good weekend, full of sketching, Dr Pepper and netflix. Anyway, to the thing you all want to see in the first place! ART!

Alright this here is my little creation for my comic book scripting class. His name is Captain Nebula, he is a bit of a dolt. He's a model spaceman from the 1950's cheesy science fiction era..he believes all aliens are communists..

Random woman I done sketched. She's fun, it was pretty fun drawing her, she has a gun. Just thought I'd throw that out there in case you didn't you know..have eyes..

This is my beloved Captain Hammer, from Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. He is simply wonderful, and he makes me happy with his chauvinistic bravado. 

Well there you go, those are the three sketches I had some fun with, feel free to comment, let me know if any of you have suggestions for later drawings! Always accepting new and fresh ideas, sometime my brain sponge runs dry!

Gracias Te Amo internets,

Sir Polar
