Moon Knight (Marvel Comics)

All I got to say is Moon Knight is so underrated. I had been highly inspired by comic book artists in the industry. On this project I did a lot of resource from different art style. I combine different comic styles from famous comic artists. I added the reddish color which is a Frank Miller signature the solid BG which is Alex Ross style and the brush stroke paint which is Arthur Suydam techniques. I love how it came out its very different from my previous paintings that I have done before.

Captain America (Marvel Comics)

I want to make this project more like antiques painting something that you seen in the World War 2 era, since Captain America was first feature in the 1940's. I added my own genre artwork brush style. As you can see, the U.S.A. flag look like something you see in a camera view all blurred out and Captain America kind of look realistic. I want him to look serious and mature. I hope y'all like it!!!

Bullseye (Marvel Comics)

This is my third paintings of Bullseye, what can I said “I am hardcore fan of Bullseye” he so cool :) On this project I was focusing on the lighting which make stuff more dimensional (stand out) as well making this painting unique as possible. I was looking at references from realistic to comic. I really did have fun working on this project.  

Avoid the Noid (Domino's Pizza)

The first Noid's painting really motivates me to paint another painting of Noid and I am going to use the same artwork style (historical style) for this one. A brief history of Noid; Noid was created by Will Vinton as the mascot for Domino's Pizza. He was popular in the mid 80s to mid 90s. I remember when my mom took me to Domino's pizza they would have Noid pictures everywhere and I used to get happy and hyper seriously I have to give major credits to Will Vinton for his amazing creation. 

Popeye the Sailor Man

I am big fan of Popeye. I remember watching the Popeye series in the morning with my brother and sister, those were some priceless times. The most memorable episode better yet the greatest episode of all time is "Popeye the Sailor Meets Sindbad the Sailor" that's what really motivates me on doing this project. I want this painting to look antique very old school. I was also focusing on the designs too (Ship's wheel, logo and the character himself.)

Rodzinski (Metal Gear Solid)

I decided to paint Rodzinski from Metal Gear Solid because since he is a general, he fits perfectly to make this project mature. My goal is to mix different type of painting styles and combine them together. For example, here I got a historical painting style which is the background then I added a comic style which is the character specifically comic ink style and then I added my own style which is mixing artwork style. I want to have my own artwork style.
