Twitter's Dark Secret

(Click to Enlarge)
I Eff'ing Knew It!


(Skip this paragraph if you know what anime this is.)
So in case you don't know, this is a drawing of Edward Elric from the anime FullMetal Alchemist. It's pretty mainstream now, especially since they re-released a much better adaption of the anime recently. Its about 2 brothers on a journey to get their bodies and limbs back (it isn't as creepy as it sounds) and mastering alchemy, a power that lets the user bend materials to their will. It's bad-ass, enough said.

(Now back to our usual blogging...)
So that was pretty awesome. Welcome new followers and stalkers, I hope to be able to entertain you all as much as I can. Guess this means I gotta start updating alot more, which I'm cool with, as long as it doesn't count into my living time, trust me that's important, or else we wouldn't have an entire room* named after it. 
*The Living Room


Current Obsession

Bet you didn't see that one coming. 
I've been reading the crap out of the original manga and its awesome, unlike the horrible anime adaption. If you ever saw this anime then definitely forget what you saw, wash your brain if need to and watch the new one that was recently released.


But how do you get there you ask? Click the image above!
Just that easy and its free. How cool is that?
Rhetorical Question, really cool.

College is starting up again. My last year, its gonna be interesting.
You better believe I'm excited!
Not this excited though, this kid needs to calm down.

Let me know what you think.
Don't be shy, I'm a nice guy.
At least that what my parole officer says.
Joking.

My Blog's Been Whaa?

If this is your first time here, then you probably already know that today, I was made Blog of Note!


Let me let you know what I'm about so you're not disoriented and get eaten by the internet. I'm a wanna-be artist who draws comics, illustrations, art requests (wink wink) and talk shop (that's Hollywood for "Talk Crap"). I love drawing videogame comics and just about anything to do with videogames and anime so if you have a favorite character, you'll probably see them here at one time or another!

These are SOME of what I've Done!
(Don't be Scared to Click the Images!)

3D Work!


VideoGame Comics!



Illustrations and Art Requests!




Now I could act like this Blog of Note is no biggie smalls and just brush it off but I'm not dumb! 
This is super special awesome! So thank you wise people of Blogger for giving me this honor. 
I do not know you but here is a virtual high-five!

Yeahhhhhh!

End thought!
In the end, I'm just a guy who really enjoys drawing and entertaining whoever I can with whatever drawing I do, comment I make and art request I take. I hope you'll come along with me and follow what I do, it's gonna be a pretty interesting ride, hop along for it. Just watch where you step, there's gum everywhere.

Devil May Cry: Dante's Twin

Happy Birthday Ellison.
"Dante: You want a date? Well, forget it. Because I make a point not to go out with women who shoot me in the head! "

This is an art request for my lil bro(for sho) Ellison. He talked to me about wanting a drawing (mostly cuz its all I can afford as a broke college student) of Dante from Devil May Cry. Instead, I decided to ignore what he said and make him take the place of Dante. Sure, I made him look a lil older, sure its not right to draw my younger brother holding two guns and a sword on his back, but c'mon, its his birthday, and I don't give a fuck its not your birthday(Thank you 50Cent... Curtis Jackson for the snappy line). I wish I could've done better with the face but I did my best as of now so next case.
Let me know what you think!

My current obsession?
I have been in Rhode Island for close to two weeks now trying to get a job that I thought was guaranteed (it wasn't) so in the mean time, I've been watching a lot of The Office. I really understand why this show is so awesome. It's hilarious in its outlining office pranks and situations, especially thanks to Steve Carell who's really over-the-top funny. If I EVER worked at a business that sells paper, I'd like to believe that it'd be just like this...or else I'd paper-slash my wrists out of boredom.

I've honestly gone through 3 seasons in this short amount of time so you best believe its awesome, definitely check it out.

Now you're caught up on what I've been up to so how about you keep me entertained by commenting. Please don't leave me to my own imagination. I'm soooo bored. Ah well, time to draw I guess.

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

Po-Ke- Mon!

Wasup viewers, all 18 of you (much less than that im sure...sigh). I was told a few weeks ago by my girlfriend (yes girls, I'm taken and yes boys, I'm straight) to do a vulpix for her. Naturally its simple enough to draw a pokemon but then, if you know women, they tend to get more demanding. This is how her demands went.
1.Draw me a Vulpix, its my favorite.
2. Put like a forest background.
3. I want lillies in it.
4. Add something else too, don't make it so plain.
....yeah, she was very considerate with her demands(accent on this word!...jk)
So yeah, here's the raw version of the vulpix:


I kept it simple, I figured a sitting down pose was serene enough. I might post the actual paper line art if you want but I'm using Photoshop from now on until I hear someone complain.Here's the line art:

I liked how it was coming out, its kinda annoying to color a vulpix though, I thought it was pink and purple mixed but it took me a few minutes to find the right blend. Colored version go!:

Alright, here's where it gets fucking tricky and time consuming. This is the background I did after the first hour:


It took me a while to get it done just because the shadows weren't looking right, the trees weren't the right color, etc etcetera(no one spells it anymore). So yeah, then I knew I had to add the flowers which are annoying to draw small and decided to do the simplest thing to make the picture come together. *Ahem* "Now tell me, WHO'S THAT POKEMON?!"


"IT'S ANOTHER VULPIX!" Bet you didn't see that one coming. I noticed that no matter what I did, both Vulpix look female. So this is a kind of secret one sided lesbian crush one has for the other. Maybe they'll get together but they'll never get married, not while those opposite sex marriage laws stay in effect. C'mon Obama, make this Vulpix dreams come true.

Now that my insane non-sensical rant is over, enjoy the post. I'd like to hear about what you guys and gals think about the background and picture altogether. You know the drill and if you don't, Myspace, Twitter and Facebook on the sidebar under my summary.Drop me a line to my email if you want too:

I'm off now...on the road...


to Viridian Cityyyyy.

Mike Suazo's Back!

Like the subject said, boom baby(South Park), I'm back.
I finally did something in my drawings I've felt I've been missing. "Good art?" you say? Fuck you then...Ok, ok, maybe I'm not all that good but hey, I'm better than most of your fathers are at pleasing your mothers...metaphorically that is...yeah. It was using Photoshop more btw.
So anyways, here Diego, I finally finished your birthday present. I'm not going to drag out this paragraph any longer because it would make no sense to keep my brother waiting any longer, my brother who has waited a long time for me to complete this drawing, this drawing that took me a while (if you're still reading this, thank you for not skipping to the drawings.)

This one you've seen if you saw the crappy video I posted just the other week. It's Tails. I did something new though. Instead of cleaning up the picture, i actually did the line art using Photoshop. I'm doing that from now on. See why?
It's just cleaner. So I colored it up, through up a background! (Omg!) It was just easier to do it in Photoshop. I haven't even colored the sketch yet since I wanted this to come out as good and clear as I wanted to, since my brother's getting impatient after only 6 months of waiting (grimy bastard...jk, he's 10.) Ta dah! 

Nothing special but I won't lie, i really like how it came out. I know I could've refined some points but I wanted to keep it simple as well.

This week I'm going to continue the idea of Photoshopping unless someone tells me they would want to see the colored sketch version, then I'll do that as well. But you got to tell me. Or else, how the hell will my brother ever get his drawing? (I'm joking Diego, you'll get it... as long as you send me  your allowance for the last 6 months you've been waiting like we agreed...  :D)
Oh! And here's the photoshopped Ninguin (penguin ninja).
I know some of you might like the colors while the rest of you could just "suck my balls"(*1)....
Hey, if you pass by, leave me a comment. I'd like to know at least someone reads this and get some feedback. Only if its supreme praise though...ok, you can comment normally too. 
Shout out to Donna, my hip hop soulmate.

Been Busy...Hey Look! A Shot Glass!...With a candle!


Cheers! I hate that show.
Beyond! Ok, that's just to show my support of the IGN Podcast known as Beyond! They are hilarious, give it a check sometime, pretty easy to find them on Itunes, plus, download for free. "HE LYING?!" "NO HE AINT! HMPH!"...Who were those girls? You know them?
Anyways, I turned 21 over the hiatus. It was a very good time, I don't understand how people say they can't remember their 21st birthdays, I remember it perfectly. I remember I tripped alot...on nothing, weird how that that happens. I haven't updated in a while is because of college. I'd like to say it was because I was playing videogames but whoever reads my Twitter knows that isn't true...entirely. I was working on a portfolio website so I can continue to being a big boy ( we have shirts) in New Media (my major) dear lord (my savior...psyche).
So I was forced...*really wanted to* photoshop the pictures I've drawn before, all except for Surfing Echidna, I might do him but I know I'll have to take my time with him, nurture him, caress him...mmhm, handcuffs. OH! Whoops...heh. So yeah, I promised I would post them up when I did but for fun and giggles, I'll post one up today and the other further along the week.

For better or worse, I made his eyes more normal to give him a more friendly "Im going to FUCKING murder you." kind of look. Isn't he adorable? More soon to come.
If you want to see my website, send me an electronic mail message, I just heard about it, crazy things their doing with computers. Check my profile, my e-mails bound to be somewhere there, and read the stuff on there, you never know what we might have in common, like, I like long walks on the concrete pavement and talking all class long but I'm a romantic like that.
Oh, and yeah, I finished the main outline for my brother's birthday, I'm right on time, if this was 6 months ago...I appreciate him. Check it as well:

I will photoshop this like crazy for my brother. I did a quick run through but i have to clean the image alot. I might start drawing from scratch on Photoshop and cut out the middle man (middle man being my roomate who scans them for me. Props to Peter). Homework time. Let me know what you think, ight?
-See Ya
