full stop!

(ive always liked that english saying for periods)

the decision right now is to stop my big drawing.

i was inspired by mike giant to do so.

my craft and patience has waivered for a long time...

and its time to address it.

after watching the vid below,

i figured i gotta step my shit up

and stop dicking around.

SO, i am gonna concentrate on craft,

no matter how long it takes.

the schedule right now is to step it up by drawing waaaay more!

the blog will get more love,

and quality of everything will go up!

time to put a foot in the ass of everything... LETS GO!

yaknowwhatimsayin!

starting to waiver on my drawing right now....

ive been drawing some other stuff on the side,

and im starting to rethink the big drawing.

ive got another idea for how i want to set it off.

do i start over?

maybe.

nice and smooth made a video for one of my favorite old school tracks of all time.

i found this on vinyl about 5 years ago,

and bumped this track for HOURS.

i kept scratch over the AAWWW YEA, IM WIT DIS over and over.

(from big daddy kane)

start of the sixth!

finally slowing down at work.
i can concentrate on this drawing,
and my running!
i just finished a 1/2 marathon, i beat my old time of 2h 01min.
(with 1h 54min).
so far on this drawing i gots:
urien (street fighter 3: third strike)
chun-li (street fighter alpha 3 costume)
skullomania (street fighter ex 2)
cammy (super street fighter iv alternate 2 costume)
and scorpion (mortal kombat 2)
im moving into the other games,
just to make sure i can fit them in
before filling in more capcom stuff.
next up:
probably more mortal kombat chars, then tekken.

on some other ish:
marvel vs capcom 3 is out this week!!!!
cant wait!!! that is going to be tha hypeness!!!
not sure about teams...havent seen any chars im really attached to.
maybe: wolvie, c.viper, haggar?
i know as i typed that out
the team is not that competitive.
seems like everyone is going to have
storm, sentinel, magneto, dante on thier teams.
whos knows, but anyways im gettin stupid hype.

currently listening to:
raekwon - only built for cuban linx 2 LP
r.a. the rugged man - legendary classics LP

one of my favorite r.a. the rugged man tracks.
black + white feat. timbo king
renaissance feat. tragedy khadafi + hell razah
(trag always brings it! r.a. blacks the fuck out on the last verse!)

time to fire it up!

ive been crunching at work, and this month was pretty brutal.
but i did get all of my workouts in, and some drawing.
in the meantime...this time ive decided to really plan out my drawing....
and looking at my older drawings,
i could probably fit around 70 characters
on the sheet, and start to visualize how this thing is going to go down.

ive now finalized my characters i want to draw
for the next drawing and it looks like this:
street fighter 15
mortal kombat 8
tekken 10
darkstalkers 5
soul calibur 4
dead or alive 2
king of the fighters 5
mark of the wolves 2
killer instinct 1
battle arena toshinden 1
battle fantasia 3
guilty gear 4
blazblue 2
virtua fighter 5
power stone 2

i based most of my decisions on how they would look on the page....
the crazier the better!
classic characters,....
my personal favorites to play as....
this will not be the typical scene.
i think ive picked some oddball characters...
but i guess i will reveal as i am drawing them so stay posted.

heres the first five....
top 5 on my street fighter:
sagat (ssf4 version)
cammy (ssf4 alternate)
chun li (sf alpha version)
ryu (ssf2 version)
urien (sf3: ts version)

february its time to fire it up!

i will start this drawing, and try to turn it up and

grind this thing out.

LETS GET IT! 2011 get hype!

crunchtime!

damn yo!
its crunchtime at work,
and i havent been able to draw that much!
but i thought i would post the ones that i did
to start off the new yearzo!
im starting to get the hang of the copic markers...
i feel like im in college all over again.

i think i will make the big drawing a fighting game theme.
i will start in february,
since my schedule at work has been so assy lately.
but i will bang off these quick drawings in the meantime.

just bought:
art of capcom 2
some cool ish in there,
i bought it more because im gonna be doin this stuff in a hot second.
art of resident evil 5
i love capcom concepts.
those guys are top tier.

if you have money...
art of street fighter: 20 years
buy it just for shinkiro (who made the ryu pic above).
one of my favorite artist of ALL TIME
he used to make all of the 'king of the fighter' character images,
moved on to capcom,
worked on capcom fighting jam,
bionic commando rearmed,
summo street fighter stuff,
and now marvel vs. capcom 3!

currently listening to:
notorious b.i.g. - life after death 2lp
diplomats - diplomatic immunity 2lp
juelz santana - from me to u lp
jadakiss - al queda jada mixtape

and finished this bitch!
time to pull out another clean sheet and start number six.
the possible themes:
fighting games
(because im in the video game industry,
and ill do what i want)
or another off the top freestyle.
ill take the next 2 days to decide
and mess around with more marker drawings.
