Catwoman's Cats


the hardest problem about showing behind the scene stuff is you can never predict what the reader wants to learn from my own art process. Actually I do hope to scroll down and read some of my past post explaining some of my other techniques, this blog is like 3 years old of stuff I never update.
Oh well, on this recent piece took me about 3 years conceiving it, inspired by Adam Hughes, Dean Yeagle and Aristocats. It's a bit showing how glamorous Catwoman's life style is and how she loves her cats.

I'm pretty sure I posted this last year, but the original designs of the cats come from here. I love their weight, their movement and their excitement.



this is my third time I've started drawing this scene. Sadly the head is all off so instead of redrawing it a fourth time I went in resized a small sketch and used that as the new head. Now I took like a good 3 weeks thinking it over, I really wasn't sure if it was right idea. As much a painting is really about painting over previous lines I really wanted a nice clean original line work. In a way my own insecurities get the better of me to actually improve myself.

the biggest reason why I pushed this art process was because of support from my friends. I have so much respect and admiration for artists who can do this all easily in one go, so any single little fault I have I will stop and just prevent myself from progressing my art.



At this point it was 3 in the morning, I had to stop and take a break. The texture was originally an idea that I came from coloring a pin up from Justin Coffee. Still all tempt and I had it there so I can go to sleep and think it over.

well this puts an end to a 3 year of insecurities, doubting myself and ideas that were just a small little joke in my head. Here's some nice close ups you can't notice in the resized ones

my markers are dying on me


21 dead markers
or 21 fading markers
or maybe 21 dead and some of them fading because they are pretty inconsistant. I really do feel like the few exception who enjoys working with watercolors markers instead of the heavy alcohol based ones every self respecting artist uses. You know the kind that bleeds through the depths of phone books.


trying to draw batman and superman like the old 1980 and 70s super powers toy line. Love the art on those.

excited over the new Zelda E3 trailer.
