This is a pair of shoes I did for a friend of mine. It didn't take me too long to finish these but it was still a bit time consuming. It's all leather scrylic with art marker outlines.

There are the cards in my possesion at the moment. I haven't traded some of the ones from my other videos because I'm saving them for someone that's willing to trade hand in hand. But yeah this is how the collection is going and I'm having fun with this!

Artist Trading Cards 2

So this is the collection so far. The first four cards I show at the beginning are cards I've gotten from friends/random people, and the other eight are the ones I've done to trade. I'm gonna wait on some friends of mine to finish theirs to give to me and let them choose from the ones I have right now and I'll trade the rest of mine later on. I think I'll trade my crappy ones for now and get some good ones...I know, I'm evil.

Artist Trading Cards 1

So a couple of days ago I was shopping at an art store here at my university, and I found some cards by the cashier counter and shuffled through them. They called them artist trading cards and I left the store with it in mind. The day after I chose to buy myself some and start collecting these for as long as I am at UNT. These are just some I started out with and that I'm gonna be trading. The first one I show is from my friend Lauren Or-Flowers and the rest are some I whipped up to trade.

The Tails

2009-08-14T08:40:00.001-07:00

Yeah I know I'm missing one, and honestly I hadn't noticed until just now. Well these are just some sketches of the hosts of the tailed beasts from the manga Naruto. It was hard using the pen I was using because the bleed was kinda rough and there were times that I had to scratch it a little just to get the right lines. I plan on working more on these but idk yet.

Random Sketching

2009-08-14T08:36:00.000-07:00

I wanted to draw a kid falling and I couldn't get the right pose in. As you can see I drew four different ones and the first one I started with was the third one then the second then the fourth then the first and then I went on to the rest of the drawings around or what not. It ended up looking like the kids fell in a pool or something.

Young Lady

2009-08-05T13:51:00.000-07:00

The way I drew her was I first started out with the outline of the face. I went on to the hair and then to the eyes. Then nose and mouth. This chick is based on an old friend of mine from junior high. She had some of the best pair of irises I had ever seen. I could never say if they were hazel, green, or any other color in between.

Audi KA7 Concept

2009-08-05T13:48:00.000-07:00

I love Audi's absolutely. Who doesn't right? Well I started out with the tires, and went on to the headlights. At first I wanted to do a BMW concept because I'm so into the M5 series, but I thought an Audi would fit better for this car. I wish I had some type of coloring tools but hell, I've always been and pen and pencil traditional.

Carritos

2009-08-05T12:48:00.000-07:00

Car practice. I've been really honed into cars since I learned a new technique on drawing quick concepts. I've honestly done better in just two weeks than I did my whole sophomore and junior years of high school when I had just started drawing concept cars.

Obiseth

2009-07-18T13:22:00.000-07:00

I never feel comfortable with the way I'm drawing him now. I think I should keep his former costume because he looks like he's burning up in that jacket haha. The bandana is a keeper though, that's always been something 'unique' about Obi. I will keep working on him though and hopefully on the rest of some characters that also need work.

More Camaro's

2009-07-15T13:32:00.000-07:00

Tiny little Camaros, each one about 2x1 in size so theres not much detail to them. I was extremely bored and I didnt have anything better to do or draw really.

Inuoe

2009-07-15T13:26:00.000-07:00

Orihime Inuoe from Bleach. I really like this character. I find her rather interesting lol.

Sketching

2009-07-15T13:18:00.000-07:00

Some sketching in varying styles sort of. I tried doing different eyes, mouth styles are the same, and noses as well. I'm soaked up into bleach thus the characters and style.

2010 Camaro

2009-06-24T10:36:00.000-07:00

The 2010 Chevy Camaro. It's a bit small so I couldn't get very detailed with it but its still pretty good.

2009-06-12T13:20:00.000-07:00

There's been aaallllooooottttt in my mind lately, and I can never tell what if what I'm feeling is how I really feel, or if I should be feeling anything at all. The smallest thing can make me quite happy, as it can make me frustrated. I try to listen to myself, but even my conscience has been weary. There is no one to hear advice from, and no one I can really trust with what I feel because I never know if what I'm gonna say is the entire truth or just a faint feeling. The colors represent the way my head is flowing right now, and the white represents the blankness.

I'm Rockin'!

2009-06-06T13:59:00.000-07:00

Yay! - that's all I have to say. I know, disappointing huh?

Waiting At The Cliff

2009-06-06T13:55:00.001-07:00

So I'm not the most clever at having titles for my work; sue me! I had no real aim with this drawing it was just sort of out of the blue for me. I just wanted to draw the tree really but the guy stepped in. I didn't want to make him have a face because I didn't want to have to be too detailed with it so I just left it as it was when I did him in pencil originally. I like that new signature I whipped up though it just looks like scratch if I practice it enough it could look better than my current signature (which sucks).

He Says You're Next

2009-06-06T13:47:00.000-07:00

I've been playing Left 4 Dead entirely too much to have created such a kid. I didn't mean to at first but because it looked all sketchy he just looked like a zombie. Of course this would be a premature stage of the infection but there he is thirsty for your blood. If you haven't played Left 4 Dead: buy it now! The second one is coming out in November, yeah they already announced it and the first game hasn't been out for more than six months. Good job VALVe!

Look

2009-06-06T13:40:00.000-07:00

I couldn't sleep at all last night so I started browsing the web for just random pictures and I came across this chick which I used for reference for this drawing. It was all just hatching, what I did here, and it came out nice. I was a little more focused on the clothing and the way it just flowed on the chick's body for future use. I still need to work on folds and stuff like that so that was some good practice.

2009-04-10T21:37:00.000-07:00

I didn't have anything better to draw, honestly, but at least I got this little sketch uploaded just for the fun of it.

Random Chick

2009-04-09T18:56:00.001-07:00

Because I had nothing better to do, I went online and just looked through a bunch of pictures of people I could draw. This was, perhaps, an invasion of privacy but I mean I'm an artist with very little inspiration left. I wanted to give it a little color and give it a background but I decided to uploaded as it was just so I wouldn't have to waste time on eccentricities. Enjoy!

artie spades custom

2008-11-04T19:08:00.000-08:00

my logo i guess. i really liked the concept behind this but not so much the way i did it. it's a bit messy for my taste but im still heading in the right direction.

2008-11-04T19:03:00.000-08:00

wut is up! this is the shizz mayne, i finally do pieces of graffiti i actually like. all the sketches i'd been doing were super whack, but this is one of two recent ones i have done. it's not great, nothing special, but for me it feels like i craked through some ice!

disappear!

2008-11-04T18:49:00.000-08:00

i really like this chick, she's purty hot no? this is the second sketch i pulled outta my arse' in physics class once i was done with my test. there's not much i can telll you about her other than deum i wish my drawings could become a reality, faf. i wanted to do a 'witch-ish' kinda girl but i didn't suceed as you can see. i like it, i like a lot.

flight of a dragon

2008-11-04T18:26:00.000-08:00

this is one of two sketches i did in physics while i waited for everyone to finish their tests. i was pretty bored, and i didnt want to draw what i usually do, little manga characters or concept cars, so i decided to pop in a lil' dragon. he's actually pretty huge but whatever right? i've actually had a thing for dragons but every time i tried sketching one out they came out like freaking characters from Dragon Tales...what a load'a crap huh?

One Line Throw Up

2008-09-06T17:01:00.001-07:00

Just practice, it's my very first throw up and yeah, it's kinda whack but I'm getting there. I'll see what I can improve on in the future to make it better but I'm not an expert graffiti artist. In red, the words are SELF RESPECT, MAYNE, SPADES, and in purple it's VOICE and WHACK, incase you don't understand my tags, lol.

Layed Back in Life

2008-08-29T21:07:00.000-07:00

When I draw, I like to draw scenes where I can picture myself in sometimes. This particular one can be interpreted in two ways, one that he is sitting at a dinner, or two, that he is on a train.

I'm very into manga, thus this style, but I'd like to get into more realistic detailed drawing for a bit and see how I like it. Once I'm done with high school I'll probably get myself to study some anatomy, that way my skill can increase somewhat sharply.

2008-08-19T06:39:00.000-07:00

Dang, as much as I try to create my own little cartoon characters I can never come up with anything! I can't do a bunny because Daniel Araujo has one already on his dA famous comic strip Dinosaurs. I can't really do a cat because of Araujo again, and also because of hte VG cats. So I don't know what the heck to come up with. I guess I'll just stick to drawing whatever comes up and not focus so much on having a solid character.

Ken

2008-08-11T22:36:00.000-07:00

I couldn't resist, I just had to do a drawing of him. Ken has always been my favorite character from Street Fighter. Whenever I played it at the arcade I'd pull him up to fight against Ryu who was my cousin's "unbeatable" character, the one he could never lose with...yeah, my arse. I don't play much anymore and I became rusty, but when I can I never miss a chance of playing Marvel vs. Capcom. One more thing, I hate how they changed up Street Fighter in 3D. The game looks cool and everything but it kinda killed the original Street Fighter for me.

2008-08-09T19:29:00.000-07:00

Before DBZ, before Naruto, before Bleach, and before Soul Eater, there was Street Fighter!!

I remember going down to the arcade room back in Mexico to give my cousin's a little can of whoop ass! haha. As my first blog here I wanted to do a little something on that, and so here is Ryu! My favorite character was always Ken, but Ryu is said to be the coolest so yeah. I'm not as much of a chartoonist as I am a mangaka, but I had to whip something like this at some point. I'm not an inker either so cut me some slack, lol.
