Adam no Boken


Im really excited for the new Zelda game. So here is a quick sketch of me when I was a little kid as Link, and my first adventure with Link in Hyrule....

I remember getting the first Legend of Zelda at my grandparents place (Over in Schiller Park.) My Mom and Grandma came back from a store and I remember getting the game and an old Felix the Cat doll (I love Felix heh.)

I hooked up the Nintendo in my Grandparents room and started playing. Right from the get go I fell in love. The opening with the sun setting behind the waterfall. The cool looking sword and ivy. I got lost in Hyrule and didnt care one bit.

Naturally as a youngling I wasnt allowed to play all day, so when I had to turn the system off I ran around my Grandparents place using sticks as swords and went off on adventures.

My dad saw how into the game I was and came home from work one night with a wooden sword he had made for me at his job. I was stoked, I had the wooden sword. I needed a shield so I used backpacks, until my Grandpa made me my own wooden shield and an old belt of his for straps.

The main tools complete I then took it to the next level (Of which my sister still likes to remind me heh) I wore an over sized green polo (Nothing underneath but my whitey tighties hehehehe) put a belt over it to hold a pouch for keys and Rupees, and some cowboy boots. I never had a Link style hat so I used a long beanie that I let droop behind me.

From then on ive been a big Zelda fan. 25 years, what a great series.

I am also really lucky to have a loving family to support my weird adventures hahaa.

Marigolds




I drew this cause I had an idea for a drawing of a girl with a flower. My friend Nester was telling me about how he wanted a tattoo of his wife in skull makeup (Dia de los Muertos) So I went and checked out some images. I really liked the idea and merged the two ideas.

I think it turned out good, most images I found of women in the skull makeup they where looking at the camera, or at least had their eyes open. I felt keeping her eyes closed with a pleasant yet somber expression shows the beauty of both the female face and the human skull.

I had trouble scanning this image so the first is a scan the second was taken with my phone.

Lady Sleeve




I tend to download tons of images from the web to sketch with. This one was of a very beautiful lady with tattoos. I cant seem to find the image again tho.

Refrence ...

Happy 4th!!

... ... posted on the 6th, heh. Well better late than never huh. I drew these images on the over the 4th of July weekend. The first one was based off an image I found online which the woman had a very nice tattoo on her back. I was going to do something to that effect but in trying to finish this image for the 4th I opted out.

"Happy 4th"
The image above was scanned, the one below is taken off of my phone camera. The image above I feel while clear added some pink to the highlights. Below isnt as clear.





Not satisfied with just one image, I wanted to do another one. I got inspired by an artist by the name of Bernard Charoy. Here is "Odette"

Again, all of "Odette" was taken with my phones camera, I am having a hard time capturing these images and have it look good online.

Closeup of "Odette"


"Odette" Detail.


Both images done in graphite, white paint marker and wax crayons. Im really digging these and will continue exploring for sure.
