ladies.

i think its funny how females can be so relentlessly evil to the male population at times... ok,ok, well not on a global scale but you get my drift right? i got to thinking earlier today and wondered upon an interesting thought... "maybe if girls could be guys for a day and have to deal with themselves like we have to deal with them they would have a chance at understanding male consciousness and possibly a chance at making this world a better place." and when i say "if girls could be guys" i dont mean "switch body's" or body parts for that matter ;P. i mean completely switch, mind, body, and soul- to the point where they could no longest think like themselves and be able to easily fix the problem because they could understand themselves... when i say "if girls could be guys", i would like to see girls completely in a guys situation, with a guys mentality, and with a guys experiences but of course,at the same time, still BEING a woman. honestly, im not even sure they would be able to function.... NOW PLEASE dont get me wrong; i love women and thing they are the strongest people on earth hands down-but! i dont think a woman could deal with another woman  if they were in a guys body...with  that being said; ladies, before the neck starts to roll and the hand goes on the hip- PLEASE, think of us guys... think of our simplicity, and ask yourself if the situation is really worth all the trouble... 

(sigh)

srry for the rant...

WILL DRAW FOR FOOD!

This sketch should be titled "will draw".... haa,because i dont need food as motivation to get my pencil moving. but what the heck? wouldnt it be a hell of alot more interesting if his sign read "will draw for food" instead? just makes the pic look more interesting... this sketch came about in my 2d animation class this morning when we were instructed to animate a character moving into a standing position from a relaxed sitting one... this was one of the more exiting animations because i was able to use the principles of animation on a full character rather than the classic "bouncing ball" or whatnot. nevertheless i quickly became board rendered out one of my basic sketches and got this...still a work in progress but im diggin it. if i have time i think im going to end up coloring this baby and adding some kinda backround... 

well, gotta get back to work!!! hope yalls enjoyed (smiles).

Phat n' Jazzy

So i went to this b- boy club last night called the social. i had originally asked my friend about ways to promote my art. he recommended that i check out this spot downtown called "The Social". i was informed that it was mainly a spot for b boys to chill and sometimes hold tournaments. but the best part about this club was that in the back, there was a spot for artists to set up booths and promote/sell their works. "DOPE". told my friend, i had to be there and jumped at the opportunity. 

          i ventured downtown around 11:00 last night and stood at the door of "The Social" next to Tabu nightclub; waiting in anticipation for the couple in front of me to receive the "go ahead" from the husky bouncer once he checked their IDs. the guy opened the door for his lady friend accompanying him...light and sound blasted out simultaneously as if spring-loaded and jerry rigged in junction to the door hinges. i reached in my back pocket and pulled out my wallet. the towering bouncer looked into my eyes, examining my face after periodically glancing at me, then my ID, then me again and murmured, "nah man... this don look nothin like you." i felt that heart-dropping feeling in my chest; "shit" i said to myself, "i knew this crap was gonna catch up with me". my ID was from a couple years ago when i had my long dreads. i always ask myself how long is it going to take before someone is like "nah man... this don look nothin like you".  i cracked my lips and prepared to "explain myself" into the club. the bouncer smiled; "nah, you cool.", put a thick black X on the back of both my hands and gave me my "go ahead" into the club. a joke? i exhaled... couldn’t help but thinking, "he must be a beast at card games." he had a mean poker face.

         when i got in i was immediately stricken by the immense vibe of the place. i felt like i walked into a 70's hip-hop movie. two large b boy circles with ill dancers in both. each person jumping in and out, showing skills. dancers giving props. Chaotic shouts of bystanders giving revelry’s of approval when a dancer pulls an ill move out of his hat. the entire room was alive, static and demanding attention. my first steps through the door was overpowering at first. it honestly took me a sec to capture all that was taking place...truly a sight to behold... a sight that i have never seen before. a sight that i have never thought i would have ever seen...

 

a sight i had to capture.

 

still a WIP, but i had to throw this in the mix and tell its story.... 

 

 

if you live in the Orlando area or if youer stopping by you gotta drop by the social. the b boy event- Phat n' Jazzy; as i understand it, takes place every tuesday night @:

 

225N Magnolia ave

the kick, push...

I PROMISE im not a poser... for those who know me best know that back in my late middle school years and a bit through high school, instead of drawing i would skate my balls off. hahaha. i dedicated time, blood, sweat and a bit of bone marrow to skateboarding... and deep inside there is a part of me that wants to hop back on my Blind deck and fly off some stairs...so i dont want dudes coming up to me on the street calling me a "poser" and all that- yall can all get the clenched drawing fist! haaa, j/k its all good. 

 but theres a huge issue with me getting back on my board- once you dedicate your life to drawing you become extremely lazy and inactive... hahaha. so now i just draw other people skatboarding!!! yay!

hope you enjoy!

[INSERT COLOR HERE]

i have to admit, even when drawing cool concepts and fat people in various poses, i can still get a little board at times... so after a few hrs of sketching and creating, i decided to pull out a rendered pic of our good old friend El Nino (srry for never adding the "~" thinggy :D). ive never done anything with this type of background before and i must say ive grown quite fond of this "paper bag"  backround tecnique... i think you all will be seeing more of it from me.another different thing about this pic is that i didn't fully ink it like i would normally do.. i kinda just let it flow this time and set up my vectors free handedly. but im digging this way of doing things... please let me count the ways:

1. its MUCH faster than inking and coloring.

2. it gives me that rough "sketchbook" look that i utilize in so many of my pics.

3. its MUCH, MUCH faster than inking and coloring...

"ahh El Nino... its sad that im going to part ways with you once your animation is compleated... but thats ok... youll always have a special place on my blogspot..."

"I LOVE YOU EL NINO"

Haaaa, hope yall enjoyed this one as much as i did!!!

Oooohh Snap!!!

That rite folks, its a Fat boy sketch!!! hahaha. but seriously i love drawing overweight people just as much as i like drawing El Nino. i think its something about the gut that make me have a good time... yeah, the fun is defiantly in the gut. nevertheless i drew this fellow as a concept to be associated with El Nino... can you see the two  interacting??? would their personalities clash? would they be good friends? or what if El Nino slept with the fat guys wife? WHO KNOWS? its not my story, i just spit out the sketchy, sketchy goodness...as you might be able to see, im still missing a sketch on this page... i was thinking of a good pose that would fit this guys personality... possibly eating? farting? laughing at someone else's expense???  even I dont know what the next sketch is gonna look like. what do you think? 

-OPMC

sketch it up.

another concept pic. This one was done straight on, in this paticular position for better modeling purposes. i threw in a face close up sketch for fun and to add a bit of commotion. The character El Nino has been extreamly fin to draw so far and it seems like time flys when im doing any type of concept involving him... its not everyday you get the opportunity to work on something this fun... hahaha.  

 

Its been a Looooonnngg time...

wow i haven't been here in a while- i apologize for not keeping the page updated... :/ lots o' school work, lots o' homework, lots o' tests- lots o' stress. dayum!!! but i love that crap; and do you know why???? because it makes my mind explode with thick, juicy imagination juice for yall fools to let ooze over ya pupils. so enjoy- let ya eyeballs soak up my goodness and dont fgt... place a little on your tung and tell your friends about your favorite local artist... The Original Pencil MC...

so these few sketches that you see in this particular post is a concept character that im working on for a friends short animation... the final product is going to be modeled in 3D along with a kick ass 3D environment, props, and the whole nine... ide love to tell you all a bit about the story but no one loves a spoiler... :P
