Using a brush pen can help explore the realm of endless possibilities. 

Something about wielding a brush than a pencil. Smooth and continuous lines.

I like to use the prismacolor brush pens. 

Collected all of the 4 in ones but the brush tips are easy to handle. 

(Will eventually collect all of those) 

For the most part most of the colors are translucent and it is easy to layer to create some depth. 

Not quite settling on a single set idea.  Having multiple ideas marinate in the mind all at once. 

I'll be back next month. 

Currently fighting fatigue.

Hopefully my schedule will clear and be more consistent to post new drawings and musings.

Should I be flattered or worried?

Practically my favorite line from Naughty Dog's Uncharted 2.

I quote this game a lot. 

I have to say I'm flattered.

It is difficult to name my top favorite video game...If I had to list one Uncharted 2 would
be like my ultimate favorite. I played the game like 5 times. Beat it on Crushing mode. Never skipping a cutscene. Obtained a Platinum achievement trophy for the game. Played countless hours of multiplayer and was feared as [D!E] S******* People were in for a surprise when I did not suck as expected with my clan tag.

As far back as 2007 with rumors of a Uncharted movie in production fans demanded that Nathan Fillion play the role of Nathan Drake. Heck the guy is a spitting image of Drake and has the charm and goofyness of the character.


Well a fan made Uncharted short film was released on today.
The film was directed by Allan Ungar starring Nathan Fillion as Nathan Drake.

Go check it out!
It was AWEsome!

For a short film it was full of action, jokes, trivia history and figuring out secret codes. :]
The little details of in game camera angles was a real treat in the combat sequences.
It would be awesome to see it feature length. This game is based off of action movie cliches and flipping into something good. Wonder how a game based off movies turned into a movie would turn out? This rendition in my opinion was fantastic.

Too bad Hollywood hasn't figured out what makes a good video game based movie.

Check it out!

Sic parvis magna!

This past month or so I haven't been feeling as well and have been resting and sleeping tremendously. Before this I had not painted for a month. One thing I do remember is having a lot of dreams of oil painting.

Weird and interesting enough numerous time in my life where something is pivotal I dream of painting. Watching myself paint as a bystander. I can never see the painting because I am blocking it. Depending on my mood I finish the painting in peace or have a nightmare that I feel extremely frustrated and cannot finish the painting despite my best efforts.

My in dream painting as paid off and I was able to paint quickly and accurately despite not oil painting for like a month!













This last Saturday's work. Painted in less than 2 hours.


The natural light of the studio kept changing so hence the small differentiation in color.

Almost done! 

A few tweaks and touchups to go. 

This was my first painting back after being absent at the drawing group for a month. My friends were surprised I painted quickly despite being always ate for the group. 

Strange, it was weird for some reason painting this guy reminded me of my dad who is also bald and has a mustache.
