LBP2 + Art of War

This is the original version!

This is the re-done version:

 

This is part two of my assignment and I'm liking what I did with it. I was going for like a 1 page ad in a magazine so I was told to stress the feature, not the game, in the redo. Let me know what you guys this about these two posters and which one looks better and how they could look better.

Comic-Con pictures are coming in soon but let me tell you about the talented man who I met there:

Kelly Roman

http://www.kellyroman.com/

Kelly Roman has adapted Sun Tzu's book, Art of War into a comic.

Turning this into this!

Bad-ass!

He's adapting this dense but interesting book into an actual story-line that encompasses about 70% about the original lines and take it from me, it's pretty cool.

The art is awesome, I saw a draft of the book.

The finished product will look even better.

Definitely check out his site for more info!

Finally I finished this. I've been meaning to post this up for weeks now. You can guess school is keeping me plenty busy. I want to start a story with this idea so...I will. Let me know what you think, I appreciate and like reading comments, they're delicious. Nom nom nom.

I want to start doing some art requests so I'm allowing the first 2 people who post a comment to get an art request. I'm also doing a third for a friend who's been wanting it for a while so hers will be first.

Eight Bits of Nostalgia III

Getting school schedules to work out is a tiring process. Its bullshit how being a senior can get you into any class. Sigh, I guess next semester means I'm a super senior, the super-hero detested for having way too many credits. I actually have good grades, it was just cuz I chose my major late.

Remember kids not in college, when they say that you have time after getting into college to choose your major, its bullshit. Figure it out in high school or you're going to end up stuck in school for MORE time. I have this. You don't want this.

You don't want this either...
^I liked this movie^

Time to finish off this threesome (I hope I get to say this outside of the internet someday.) For my third and final installment, I'm pretty sure there will be at least some enthusiasts out there who'll recognize this yellow glutton.

First, the individual models:
This is worth more than you know, am I right guys?
For a ghost named Blinky, he doesn't look like he blinks at all.

And now the great ball-eater himself...
Pac-Man
(Hombre Pac 4 the Spanglish speakers)
Its like a pie chart is about to eat a jagged gumdrop.

Pac-Man was such a bitch to make, since he's a round character and making him round while keeping the 8-bit(cube) effect was not easy but ah well, I'm happy with the result. As well as with the models come the backgrounds I made so if you're into anything you've seen, check these out.

"Pac-Man: Full of Cojones"
"Cherries before twig & berries, huh."

Finally ,its done. Now I can get back to doing some normal stuff. For a blog named I draw stuff, I haven't been posting any drawing at all lately. I'll rectify that with my next post which will be the last art request for one of my friends, then I can start doing some art requests for people online again.
Let me know what you'd like to see me draw and I'll get around to it if I like the idea. Alright then, all the links to all my other stuff are on the right and I'm planning on changing the layout, I don't know when, but I want a more of a 2010 look. Don't forget to comment on this.
Til next,
I'm Mike Suazo.
Peaceout.

Eight Bits of Nostalgia I

No posts? College, thats my excuse.

New stuff to post?College, thats my push... to not fail.

So hey, wasup, I'm back. I've been working on some really cool 3D stuff. Apparently I can print stuff out too which is pretty bad ass. Yeah, 3D printing is possible. No, I did not print out a peniscat, but damn if I'm not thinking about doing it now... I had to do a collaboration project and I chose to make 8 bit models in 3D.

Check this out!
This is a cloud. It is also a text box. It can also be a clown's bumpy mouth, if you're drunk enough.

Yeah, I guess its kinda phallic. Very tip-of-penis looking. Makes me wonder why Mario jumps on them...

I wonder why no one hasn't made a cigarette look like this. I'd smoke it, just for the look.

The Godfather of the 8-Bit world. He jumps bombs, turtles, bullets, yeah, he's a regular asshole. They're just minding their own business, walking from side to side, and you decide to kill them. Pfft, nothing but a murderer to me.

And for those who want a combo, I made some backgrounds. I think they're pretty sweet, since I made them and all. But let me know what you think.

(800x600)

(1024x768)

(1280x800)

Let me know what you think about these. Got two more on the way so dread their coming/look forward to that. All my stuff is on the side, so check that out too.

Oh, by the way, pretty happy to see I broke 1,000 page views. I know its not much but I'm feeling pretty cool about it. Wish I saw more comments though! Start commenting passers-by!

Also...

Peniscat was in my school newspaper!
:D

"I mean WHAT's the deal with these bees?"

"Either they're eating honey or fucking flowers for more..."

That's the best fake Seinfeld joke I could come up with in 2 mins. Jerry, look me up for more...

And with that we can smoothly segue-way into this week's post. I've been slacking off on the art requests I've been doing so this week, instead of two requests, I'm giving you one crazy motherfucking visual eye rape!

Ok, I'm joking, its honestly not that crazy but I liked the idea. My friend Bianca told me to draw her something but being the annoying indecisive girl she is, she has no idea what she wants. So I came up with using her tattoos as inspiration to do something, plus an inside joke about an old Myspace name of hers being "Queen Bee" or some crap like that. Her tattoos are of a flowery vines with the #23, a dragon and japanese kanji character for the word "queen".

Enough explaining, on with the drawings!

This is the basic pencil outline.

The dragon looked horrible in the beginning.

...So did her boobs.

Ok, finished inked product.

I don't know whether I can really call her a Queen Bee.

But dammit, I liked doing this with no references.

At all!...ok just 1.

I hope I get the "Queen" part across with having the crown hover over her head and the lil bee minions following her. I mean, what bee wouldn't follow her, with a stinger like that ;) Some bee fan-service right there. "You're welcome bees. Now whenever you see my enemies, you know what to do..."

Next week's is my friend Eli's request and it'll be something silly to play around with...silly being the most innocent word I've probably used on this blog...a lil proud of that. OH! I attended Art club again this week and it made for some interesting poses but I ducked out early cuz of life responsibilities so I only had time for 3 poses and 1/5th of a face.

She stood still which is amazing to say, counts as a skill.

I feel I maybe shouldn't post the drawings of naked people on here but uh, I won't stop til someone says so. Let me know if its boring or whatnot. I prefer you be offended then bored. That's just me... Joking.

Ok, so to finish up, if you're new, click that follow button on the side so you can get updates on whenever I post up a new blog. Plus it helps my blog look cooler with more lil thumbnails of people on the side. Add me on Facebook or Myspace if you want and follow my Twitter. I might not tweet every 5 seconds but I'll try to humor you with whatever funny truth I see in life.

Peace til next week,

Mike Suazo

And Boom Goes the Dynamite.

Say hello to Peniscat :D

I finally got a routine worked out just for the blog and H.W. so this is going to get updated like crazy. I'm also planning to give the blog look a facelift, a tummy tuck and maybe some collagen injections, if I can afford it.

I've been drawing a lot seeing as how some classes are incredibly boring and notes are just not better than doodles. I haven't even bought a notebook, though I got to buy a new sketchbook, mine has like 4 pages left. (close to finishing one for the first time!)

Joined the Art club, should definitely help me out with my anatomy. Club has nude models pose and so we draw them. First meeting surprised the crap outta me seeing as how I'm eating a sandwich and SURPRISE! the girl gets naked right next to me.

Got some cool sketches down, def going again.

I confused her star of David tattoo for two triangles doing 69...

And finally, to finish up on Peter Sciacca's remaining two characters. I got way into thinking how they should really look, getting into their heads, safe to say I'm crazy for looking too much into doing character profiles. Here's Julia and Simon.

She's totally grown-up cuz she smokes...hardcore!

Might be too metro for a hippie character.

Oh and here's a random boy I did at my friend's place...which I'm now banned from since girls get touchy whenever they come back to their room and you're going through their panties. Jk. They don't like guys in their rooms, apparently they're scared I'm going to leak testosterone on them and make them manly...-er.

He looks confused about why there's kinda a fireball in his hand...

I'm doing the two remaining art requests I have left for Eli and Bianca next Friday so def come back for that. Some funny and fucked up ideas for it >:D All my info is on the right and I'm pretty hyped to start drawing regularly and I'll post up some class doodes as well, just for class related fun.

Peace til Friday.

Everything Comes to An End...

Psyche. Thought I Would give up? Really? Wow...is the game I've been playing for 3 days and have become addicted to it all over again. I'm a Lv18 Hunter and have a panther named Socrates after some asshole I know(one of my best friends :D) I've played it before but its so much better when...wait, this isn't what I came to talk about. Stop distracting me reader!

First time I wear that tie
Last time I put my elbows on a babyshower table.

So some bad and good news. First off, I'm in Florida (Not inside the rapper Flo-Rida although I see the similarities) and can't scan in my stuff to photoshop and don't have photoshop to photoshop my photoshop-ables.(Geek tongue-twister.) Don't even have regular access to internet so you can guess I'm REALLY in the boondocks, a lil town called Kissimmee(its not a city according to me).
That's the bad news.

Good news is I've started drawing alot more with all this down-time and will hopefully do a few good enough items to post on here but as of now, I'm going on about a month and half hiatus. I know I'm not good enough to be taking these breaks and dammit if you know I don't want to but for now, whenever I get internet access, I'll post up pictures of whatever kind of cool thing I draw, this is Kigen I Draw Stuff after all...I think. Check your URL in case I have a copy-cat (which would be kind of cool and annoying at the same time).

Good or Bad news(You decide)- I'm going to go back to my roots (what's he talking about? He's Dominican, is he going to start carrying a spear?) No, not quite, if I meant that, I'd still get a sword anyway, cuz they're fucking Awesome...Moving on, I mean taking pictures of my work instead of showing the different parts. I don't know If you'll like it better but here's some whiteboard fun I had at my LOUD mother's house(seriously she won't stop screaming: "Help, help!" Jeez woman, I'll beat the fire off you as soon as I'm done with the blog! Now hush!) White board FUN!

"It's a me, Mustachio"

That's not right...

Info to find out about me (though most of you probably know me) is on the right and check out some of the videos I've been making on my Youtube account(which is a new clickable tab on the side). I'm going to leave it at that.
E-mail me sometime, I get bored:

GunDAMN Its Been a While...:D

Took me all of 2 minutes to come up with that title. Little foreshadowing and a little sexual tension...you like? I like.

Anyways, very sorry for that brief intermission. Shit, you'd think with breaks like that I'd be a big celebrity who could afford to take them. Nope, just a college student and right now, things are hectic. Finals are here, did one today and I was pretty content with it but what do you care, you're here for the drawing of the stuff that my blog dictates me to do (he's holding me hostage!...call someone...)

Back on track with the art commissions. This week, or better yet, for the past few weeks, I've been steadily working on my best friend's request. Now, if it wasn't for that title he has(OMG! BFF), I would've shut his request down without a second thought. Well, there would've been a second thought but it would've been more about violence against the requester. He asked for (like you couldn't guess) a Gundam...a fucking Gundam.(I might have to start watching my language, my grandmother hates seeing me write curses on this thing...she has to stop reding them then :D)

Those things are annoyingly tedious and I have always hated the idea of drawing something too complicated but I gave it a shot and honestly, I don't ever see myself doing one again unless they make Gundams cyborgs and that just sounds dumb so yeah, never again...unless for money. I even decided on doing Gundam Wing only because I remember picking only that character in the SNES (Super Nintendo) Gundam games and yeah, he's even harder.
I started out with a simple (yeah right) out line. Not bad took me all of 5 hours to finish it but yeah, simple...


Then I worked on school, tried not to fail anything, videos here and there and then finally did the outline in Photoshop and that took annoyingly long as well. So many lines I swear I was happy when I finished half, just so I could sleep. See?


Then after that gruesome part wa done, I felt ALOT better. Coloring was a process but it was easy enough to do. There's alot of parts to making the colors seem right and I wanted it to look a little better and to further my understanding of Photoshop so I started using the gradient tool. Nifty little thing and helped out.


I know, I know, the sword looks weird but I wanted it a little tipped and uh, yeah. I might re-touch it a little but I seriously don't want to look at this file for a while. Since it had been a while, I did a quick background that I think seems appropriate so stop teasing me... :(


There you have it. Wow, it feels great to have something new up. I had been coming back to the blog every now and then and expected to see an update from myself. A crazy idea but if it happened, then who was crazy to begin with? NOT ME!...he he.

BIG UPDATE: I started, get this: A PODCAST with my good friend Peter Sciacca called Tangent Combo. We did it a couple weeks back and only have one so far but I want to hear your thoughts. You can subscribe to it using a small button in the page so you can listen to it on "the go"(I just think its cliche to say that and wouldn't be surprised it was copyrighted byt Go-Gurt or something)
Here's the link: Tangent Combo

If you want to talk to me or e-mail me about something, I posted my e-mail on my profile and all my social networking stuff is on the sidebar...(this is a sidebar mom)--->
Follow me on Twitter if you'd like too. I may not update every hour but when I do, you best believe its going to be...kinda ok, good at best. Jk. I try to be funny, you decide if I am.
Peace
:D

Pug+logging=Plugging!

Hey wasup? I got way hammered this weekend. Tip: Liquor impedes ability to heal. Fact: My pinky reswolled up for a few hours. How weird and scary was that?!...Not too much. I'm here to announce something pretty cool and interesting and artistic. I know, not my usual post but there will be a more normal one soon but I really like this artist so bear with me.

I took an Intro to Drawing class at the "prestigious school, SUNY Purchase" (inside joke:this is how the school was referred to in a Wikipedia entry about Zoey Kravitz who left after a year) and found it very helpful. The point is, my teacher's name was Karen Ruenitz (cool last name since there's so many ways to pronounce it wrong but back to the point) and she, I found out, is a graduate student herself which is cool. She's doing an exhibition here in

which is cooler, from:

Karen Ruenitz

School Of Art & Design
MFA Graduation Exhibition '09

Cool Handout.

On View from April 20th (Right now!) til April 24th.
Reception will be held April 23rd from 5-7pm.

I don't announce people's events so you best believe she's good. She did her work on easily breakable paper because she said how she would want something she worked so hard to be seen and then be gone since thats how she sees art to be. In other words,She's bad-ass.
Check her stuff out, I got some of the goods on her work, peep it if you so desire.

They're all human-sized silhouette like figures with a twist. I'm not going to reveal too much since these pics themselves are of non finished works so def go check it out. Karen's a great artist with an affection for drawing herself wearing Addidas (hoping for a sneaker deal? jk) and has a love for fashion. She's teaching now in FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology for non-Googlers) so there's your credentials right there!

I'm too scared to draw something for many hours and then know it won't last. Guess I haven't achieved that level of appreciation for the ART concept.(I keep EVERYTHING). Til next. Expect something annoyingly difficult from me in about 2 days or less.
Art Away!

First Post!! Woot! Wait... this is MY blog.

Hey,name's Mike and welcome to my blog I so aptly named "I Draw Stuff". I'm going to be talking about, you guessed it, nuclear physics...or drawing stuff. I'm a SUNY Purchase student, New Media major (meaning anything artistic with computers) and I like to draw things in my spare time that I can't use for my portfolio so yeah, I like to waste time.

This is something I recently drew for my door. Why draw something for the door? Because the girls in front of my dorm room drew something and started an ART WAR!...They don't know about it yet but that just means me and my roomate are winning. My roomate decided to draw two Nintendo characters, a Boo and a red mushroom. I decided to go for a Final Fantasy character: A chocobo wielding a buster sword (FFAC version) and threw in a little Naruto inspired eyes...
Here's my inked drawing.

I used a .25mm line width black Micron since its the only pen I have skinnier than a sharpie.
Here's a little of the colored drawing.

I used sharpies for most of it but added some coloring pencils for the borders as to not screw the inking up.

Here's the finished product.

Used color pencils for shading and light spots. Added a little scarf for, i don't know, cool scarf action? Anyways, that's it for today. Check every now and then to see what I'm drawing up here at SUNY Purchase.
