I'm back dammit!!!!

2011-10-04T17:22:00.000-07:00

Free comic day... That's right!!!

2011-05-19T01:50:00.000-07:00

A few sketches from the crazy busy event that is free comic book day. I was sketching for kids at the awesome Earth 2 Comics, a shop in the San Fernando valley with my main man Justin Rodrigues. -enjoy

Before I actually learned how to paint

2011-04-20T04:15:00.001-07:00

This was one of many cover design paint sketches for some Spider-man video game by Activision. I can't remember which one though. I managed to guess my way to a degree of success with this one.

From Tranformers

2011-04-13T15:22:00.000-07:00

Video game cover layouts for the first transformers video game. The ones I liked not the ones they picked.

The stylistic approach as evolved and changed into something else since i did this.

Some inks over my boys pencils

2011-02-24T16:15:00.000-08:00

This was penciled by my buddy, a awesome character designer Jason Lowe (check my friends list) He sent me this sketch awhile ago and I stumbled on it one day going through my hard drive. I thought it was so cool and stylized I had to ink Logan up, so here's the result. Hopefully I didn't choke out the strength of J's cool drawing style.

Clash of the Titans sketch

2011-02-10T12:39:00.000-08:00

God of War 3

2010-06-11T21:22:00.000-07:00

I did these boards a while ago and haven't looked at them since. The gig was such a CRAZY rush job my memory was that all the frames were really ruff and dirty but I happened to be going through my job archives and discovered these are actually not half bad. So here's a few frames from a scene in GOW3. I've decide to start posting more storyboards let me know if you like this or if i should start going back to comic stuff.
enjoy

Before Prodigal was actualy Prodigal.

2010-06-06T00:57:00.000-07:00

About 3 years ago.

PAE is the $#!*

2010-05-06T01:39:00.000-07:00

Old image from the prodigal ash can. The comic that started it all.
Big thanx to everyone who came out to see me at Earth 2 i had a blast!

Dropping bombs! in a good way.

2010-04-26T18:30:00.000-07:00

First off issue 2 dropped unintentionally last week so if you dug issue 1 and want the crazy conclusion it's ready and waiting with no delay. ( how often do comics actually come out early)

If you haven't gotten issue one... well get off your ass! This is some of the response we've been getting from the comic community.

http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2010/04/22/what-i-bought-21-april-2010/

If that doesn't convince you here are some words from some of my favorite and I'm sure some of your favorite comic and film creators.

"Exotic locations, earth-shattering stakes, dialogue you wish you'd
written, heroic bad-assery, and a macguffin to die for. Larger than
life villains versus equally outsized heroes. This is the stuff we're
talking about when we talk about action-adventure." - DWAYNE MCDUFFIE
(JLU, BEN 10: ALIEN FORCE, MILESTONE)

Just the right mix of story with fantastic art - CORRINA LAWSON - WIRED!

FLAT OUT GREAT. I love it. Wish most of the books I paid for this
week were that good. - REGINALD HUDLIN - (Black Panther, Boomerang)

PRODIGAL is an adrenaline rush of babes, bullets and blood. A blast
to look at and read. - SCOTT STEWART (director of PRIEST and LEGION)

A hidden monastery.A group of chanting monks. A pack of kill crazy
ninjas.A secret, powerful prize worth killing any number of men for.
And a pair of heroes on the case. All elements that would go into
making the perfect action flick. Or what you experience in the first
eight pages of Prodigal - VINCENT S. MOORE - COMICS WAITING ROOM.COM

"Good story, Great Art, Here's my money." - MARK WAID (Every Comic
You've Ever Read)

Almost LAST and not least my studio Gnere19's sites for more detailed project updates and what not.

2009-06-07T21:10:00.000-07:00

I've decided to turn this into a sketch blog for the most part. I've realized I barley sketch for recreation anymore. So I'm starting with this 10 min sketch of Night Crawler and hopefully I'll generate at least 5 of these a week for posting. If there's any characters you want to recommend I'm all ears. Hopefully you and I'll notice an improvement in my sketching in the coming months.

Finally new sites up!

2008-07-03T11:34:00.000-07:00

First head painting since being back in the states. Something I did in a coffee shop to eat up 45 mins in between meetings. Cheeks kick as design got me pumped up to do a Panthro.

It's been a long time...

2008-05-23T15:28:00.000-07:00

No longer a sausage party....

Killah Kratos!!

2008-03-08T08:02:00.000-08:00

A few years ago I did storyboards on God of War 2 (awesome game). Being among the amazing concept team began my interest in Photoshop painting. This would eventually shift to painter. Well it's been a few years I still barely know any thing about painting, but I decided to do a little character study of the big guy since I haven’t drawn him in a long time.

I hope you like

Big up to the concept team of GOWII!!

Straight Magic!

2008-02-28T13:33:00.000-08:00

2008-01-16T22:13:00.001-08:00

Old hulk sketch, back when he was a buzz cut fugitive. I thought this look shoulda stayed around longer, it felt kind of appropriate in terms of the spirit of the traditional hulk plot and charecter.

Oh well.

What would you do!

2008-01-11T14:04:00.000-08:00

Boarding in a cave

2008-01-05T20:42:00.000-08:00

These are some boards I did right after I got off of God of War II. I put this in my portfolio because I couldn't use the stuff i did on the game for quite a while, so I did some frames of a random barbarian guy and monsters killing each other in a cave. These are little old but I hope you dig em.

What the HELLboy!

2007-12-30T02:41:00.000-08:00

My last sketch of the year!

The Key

2007-12-28T11:09:00.000-08:00

One of several key frames I did for a movie. The true key about frames like this is patience. These will usually take about 3 to 5 times more work than a regular frame. The most irritating thing about this stage is that all the detail you put into it has not been created by the concept team. So your basically shooting in the dark with your drawing your dealing with allot of second guess syndrome and you just have to bite the pillow and go for what's cool more than what's correct and pray it works.

Oh yeah, Happy New Year !

Swingers

2007-12-22T22:00:00.000-08:00

3 or 4 hour development painting i did awhile ago for the Spider-Man game inside cover.

2006-11-18T02:01:00.000-08:00

An old pen and ink I'm dropping for starters.
