School's Adventures Cover #1

Got to color in one of my Oldies Ideas drawings from back in the day. I've never truly seen these characters in color before, so this is a first for me, I'm kind of taken back because here they are really coming to life. These drawings always bring a feeling of nostalgia, hanging out with friends in the late 80's and early 90's. How simple times seem then, and the music, man I gotta love the music from those days. 
School's Adventures was a comic series I created in those days inspired by shows like "Saved by the Bell", "The Wonder Years", and movies like "The Breakfast Club". A dedication to friends of mine who took part of this special project from then, my 195 crew, you know who you are. This is to you guys, thanks for inspiring me.

Sharper Still...

Was away for a little bit, took a well needed vacay, but I'm back, now onto the artwork. I actually did finish coloring this Metalman drawing before I left but didn't get the chance to post it. But anyway, here it is, Metalman from Megaman 2.

This Dude is Pretty Sharp...

I'm catching up on a lot of drawings I started awhile back. I had to draw a piece of Metalman, one of my favorite robot master from one of my favorite Megaman titles: Megaman 2. This game has such an awesome soundtrack and is a complete classic from the 8bit games. I have such fond memories playing this when I was a kid back then. Wait...I still play this on occasion, on my Xperia Play Phone. Who would of thought years ago you'd be able to play Megaman 2 on your phone. Go figure.

Just in Time...for Another Blog Post!

Some more drawings I finally got around to inking this month. Prince of Persia 2: Warrior Within, I have to say this was one of the most epic games I've ever played back when I actually had time to play.  These days my days are spend working...building Sprinterz Studio...I need a vacation. Anyway, the most intense part of the game was the Dahaka, this mysterious overwhelming creature in the background. He would warp out from no where and chase you down. No, you could not battle him because he had no weakness, there was no fighting back. When you see him, just RUN! And if he caught you, he erases you from existence-GAME OVER!  And then you have the Empress of Time to the right, the one who sent the Dahaka to destroy you, in the front, the main character/The Prince of Persia.

Yes, just in time. I always imagined the Empress of Time watching the Prince in a crystal ball or something. Plotting to hunt him down, then finally sends the Dahaka to hunt him. She wishes the Prince to be destroyed because of his tempering of time from the previous game. The Prince manipulates time using the dagger of time. In the previous game he used it to save two kingdoms. The Empress also sees into the future that one day she will be killed by the Prince, another reason to have him destroyed. Empress of Time: Come my prince, destiny awaits you.

Mother Brain Knock You Out!

Having a chance to post drawings I did months ago. I always wanted to do epic video game battles and scenes. Here's a memorial one from the Super Nintendo days. The epic final battle between Mother Brain and Samus from Metroid 3.  I remember playing this on hot summer days in 95'. Good times.

Painting Prayer for Haiti

A painting I have been working on for TCHF, The Children Heritage Fund, an organization that is working to bring education to Haitian Children in Haiti. The painting was done in acrylic on a 18x24 wood canvas, and will be used to raise funds to aid the educational program that TCHF is running in Haiti.

From Oldies Ideas to 2012: New School's Adventures Cover

Oh Yes! It certainly has been some time since my last update here. Ran off the track of things here on the blog but it doesn't mean I haven't been hustling in being productive. Been working on multiple projects including on some new book projects that I been trying to piece together. So much in my head that I want to put together. Gotta pace the race.

So this is another Oldies Ideas piece that I was in the mood to do from my School's Adventures series. Ideas for comics I did when I was a kid that I've grown from. A cover featuring some of the main characters.
