Hello Everyone,

I know that I promised some updates on art. Here you go. Wait! Before we do that why don't we talk about the post I did a couple days ago on Facebook. I said that I will be working for Marvel. Well, I am going to be doing sketch cards for their new upcoming sets called Marvel Beginnings and Avengers the Movie. I was very happy when I was approached with this opportunity. I am still waiting on the actual cards to come in but my excitement is still very high.

OK on to the art.

This one is called aura boost. Simple idea. There is a little guy at the bottom and he his able to project his aura up into the sky. I am looking forward to finishing this one, it should look pretty cool once colored. 

This on is the unholy song. This one is going to look really different once it is done. I have a great idea for the finish, but I don't really want to tell you about it, because that would ruin all the anticipation for this card.

This is the wind spike. I had a lot of problems with this one. The pose that I originally had just wasn't working. I was trying to erase a hole into the image. My wife told me about myself and then I decided to start over and this is what came from that. A lot of this image is relying on color. So, come back and keep an eye out for that.

The mystery box. Don't know what to say about this one besides that it is a mystery and it is a box.

This one is called rewind. I have to tell you that it is really hard, or at least it was for me, to draw the idea of rewind. I started with the two triangles that you find on dvd players and well that just look boring. So I came up this. The idea that this grown man got reduced to a child and the only way we see the grown man in in the kids shadow.

Hello Everyone,

My once a week updates have once again fell off. This time at least I have a good reason for it. I have been working on a project with Elvin Herenadez. We have been working with Toys R Us on their new toy line. It is called True Heroes: L.A.S.E.R.  Here is a link to what we have already done.

So I have been very busy working on that. I have now got ahead of the deadline so that I can do some other things on the side. Last week I was able to do some Dark Legacy work. I will be posting that with my next blog post.

For some reason my images have been linking to the thumbnail. So I am going to try and fix that for the next round of image updates. So I am sorry about that. Even though that was going on I got a really good critique from an old friend. It was good to hear a real critique for once. There were good things and bad things, but in the end I felt as though I was able to grow a bit in my work. Speaking of growing. One of the pieces that i am going to put up later was critiqued by my wife. She made some very strong comments which at first didn't sit with me very well, and I am sure that she could see it on my face, but once I was able to understand what she meant by what she said I realized she was right. I was doing something with my figure work that I wasn't even aware of. So I have to thank her for that.

I am glad to know that I have a person in my life that is able to give me the hard facts about my work and when I get huffy and puffy, she doesn't just walk away and say whatever. She is awesome.

I guess that is enough talk. I just wanted to give you an update.
See you soon
Kaiser

I am going to have to do an image update after this week. I have been pretty busy. There is a project that I am working on that is going to be release the first section of it in two days. I can't tell you what I am doing yet until it is published. So stay tuned for that.

Next I got an offer to do some sketch cards for one of the major companies but I don't think I can say much yet since I don't have any of the cards or signed the contract yet. That is going to happen today. I need to call them about a few things and ask some questions, but that is also happening at the moment. As soon as I can put up some of the images that are going to be created for that I will.

On top of that I am still working on Dark Legacy. Man I tell you what I am very busy. You know what they say when it rains it pours, but in this instance it is a very good thing and I thank God for the many blessings that he has given me.

Thank you all who are supporting me in my journey to becoming more of a name in the professional world of comics. Thank you all, it means a lot to me.

Well I have to get to work. So I better get to it. Come back at the end of the week and I will have stuff for you to look at. Thanks again
Kaiser.

Better let than never

Hello Everyone,
I have been super busy as of late. I have just on a super tight deadline that kept me from updating my blog on a weekly basis. But, I finished it. As soon as the company posts the work, which should be around the end of the month I will post what I did. Before it got to crazy I inked some of the previous drawings that I did for Dark Legacy. I hope to continue showing the pencil version but time was a bit limited these last couple of days so I had to rely on the art I had from before.

Here is what I have thus far. I hope you like it.

This card is known as the casting box. This is a card that holds five casting points. The Casting Box will be a very useful card to all players.

This card is something that I brought in from a different project. It wasn't used so I might as well use it now. This is known as Hammer Fist, because of obvious reasons. This is an enhancement that will make the Hero stronger.

 This is the Health Regulator. This is one of the many cards where I only drew on half of the card and put in together in Photoshop. Due to time crunch I need to continue to work smarter and harder that is why I only drew half.

With some much Tech in the game it would be foolish of my not to have an EMP so that is why I drew this. This is really going to rely on color. Some really bright blues will make this image pop. Stay tuned for the final image.

Metal Colossus!. What can I say I wanted to draw a really big tin can. I think it came out ok. I am starting to realize that I am still trying to master the hatch mark drawing and well I know that I am not the best at it, but I do like how it looks in David Finch's work. Now I know I am no Finch, but I have picked up somethings from talking to him. I know that I am going to make a mix of his style and my style. It is starting to come together. I hope you will like it when I am ready to show you.

This is the casting vault. Everyone is going to want to have a couple of these. This allows you to hold twenty casting points. You can do a lot with twenty casting points.

This one is for my good friend Cisco Martinez. We were talking about this object for a very long time. It is know as the D.I.P. watch. Let me tell you that this is one heck of a card. Just wait until the card it done. You are going to want to have this card in your deck. Trust me.

The Keeper of Souls came about because there were too many soul reapers and soul harvesters in the game, and I still had this card that needed a name. So Keeper of Souls was created.

Extra Play is one of those cards that you don't want to see in your opponent's deck. This card could just change the whole outcome of the game. This card allows you to play two d20 for a couple of turns. Full details when the card is finished.

This is another card that I only drew half of it, but that half was fun to draw. I don't know if I would like to have to continuously have to draw this on someone's arm but at least for this single illustration I didn't mind. This card isn't as crazy at the brother to this card that is at the end of this blog post.

Simple but cool. I was happy to draw this one. It is known as Psychic Motivator. I really didn't know how to draw this card, so I thought I would put a like essence of a creature in the rock that would talk to you.

Got to draw another giant robot. Nothing but fun with this one.

 

Thermal Vision was one of the easier cards that I got to draw. This was a card that allowed me to stay on schedule. I should do more cards like this. Dark Legacy would be done by now if they were all this simple. Maybe not as cool, but at least it would be done.

 

This is the Hand of Power. This is an example of what the half drawing would look like. I know a couple of my studio mates who get upset when I don't draw the whole thing but I need to get it done, and I know that Photoshop will do a better job at getting the exact copy of one side better than I could ever dream of doing, so I am going to let the compute do all that work.

Well I am now all caught up. Hope you liked the images and come back and see what other cards are going to be created for the upcoming Dark Legacy card game. 

Thanks again for stopping by.

Week three

Hello Everyone.

We are now in week two and I realized that I am just horrible with posting everyday so I am just going to post once a week with all the drawings that I need to post. This will make life a lot easier on me. I am sorry if you really wanted to come to my blog every day and see what I was doing. It is going to be a once a week deal. Without further a due here are the drawings that you came to look at.

This one is role switch. I like the idea behind this card. It will be awesome once it is done. I think this is one I will have to show you once it is done.

This one is Relic Buster. This is a very important card in the came. I do believe that everyone is going to want to have at least one of these in their deck when they are playing.

Meteor shower. This one is going to rely a lot on color. Stay tuned for that.

Earth spikes was really fun to draw. I wouldn't like to get impaled with this magic spell.

This is the antidote card. This is going to be another one of those cards that everyone is going to have in the deck. Any card that can get rid of poison is going to be an important card.

.

Lastly I wanted to share a finished card with you. This is called power glove. I think that every now and again I will share a finished card. Just so that you know I am actually finishing them up.

Thanks for looking. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on these cards.

See you next time.

On to the new daily challenge

Hello and welcome to the new daily challenge. As promised here are the images that I said that I would be uploading

Here is the first one. I always knew that my Dad was out doing special stuff with the army, but then I saw him in a episode of G.I. Joe and I just knew that it was him. It looked just like him. So much so that I even went out and bought the toy so that he had to explain himself. But, alas he just laughed at me and said that it wasn't him. Even though it might be true that it isn't him I had to draw Sgt Stalker

Here is number two. Since I was corrected on who the best ninja actually is and the attention that this character that I created was getting I thought I should go ahead and do up a sketch card for him too. Here is Shadow Snake. This card already sold at the Chicago Comic Con. I guess I really do need to do more drawings of this character.

Now we move on to the the new daily challenge and start showing off some Dark Legacy cards that I have penciled. Some of these might come off a boring but you will just have to trust me and believe that I will make it look really cool by the time it is finished. So, let's get started

I am currently working on all the magic cards for the first set. The first card that I would like to show you is Blizzard.

I know I know it doesn't exactly look like much but I have a good idea of what it is going to look like once it is done and I needed the background to be more minimal for it to work. This is one of those ones where you are just going to have to trust me.

Next is Fire Storm. I had a lot of fun drawing this one. I was making a lot of swooshing and explosion sounds in the airport when I was drawing it. People thought I was crazy but hey what do I care I am an artist and I am aloud to make noises when I draw.

Earthquake is next. All I did for this one was look at a couple of earthquake pictures and put them together. Nothing like taking three or four disaster pictures and putting them together to make one really awesome destruction picture.

The next one I did was Laser Eyes. I didn't really know where to go with t

his one. I was think about Cyclops from X-men and how he would

shoot his eye beams, but I thought that would be too obvious. I was then told that I need to draw more women so this is what came out of that conversation.

Lava Gusher was fairly easy I had reference and I drew it. I like the way it looks and I am eager to color this one so that it can be finished. I think this might be one of the better looking ones once it is done.

Lastly is going to be Tornado.

I like this one because once I started showing this image around the studio, my studio mates were telling me that the planet that Dark Legacy takes place in is going to be a very dangerous one. Not only is the Kaiser destroying everything but there are all these natural disasters that are so strong that people have to worry about. I laughed and said that you have to be pretty tough to survive on the planet Titan.

I hope that you enjoyed the images that I posted to catch us up to where I am supposed to be in my daily challenge. Thanks for looking. See you tomorrow.
