Mikero's Artflows

[Johncarllos]

It's pretty decent.

[ASR]

More than decent, less than awesome, love the style.

[Mikero]

I'm gonna have to go back and try my hand at it again, I was going this older thing, I can't really explain. It's old pop art from like the first half of the 20th Century I guess. I did that one from memory but I think I'll do better with reference. Anyway; Warm up doodles, cool down doodles, and quick sketches.







New stuff soon. There's lots.

[saldite]

I rather enjoy the dude with the top-hat in the corner and police on the top.
Those in particular just happen to make me grin.

Then again, they all looks pretty good, regardless of the fact that they're just quick doodles.

[MOX]

I like the face of the girl drawn in the green and the guy with the fins n toolbox.  Cool arms on the rest too.

[TheOnly]

Mikero......I admire your drawings. They look so nice.

[Mikero]

Haha the police came out of doodling and watching Hot Fuzz at the same time.
Thanks guys!
 
OK new thing;


Do you think that you're better, really better than the rest? Realize there's a problem; I know that you can give your best.
Have you ever had a dream, or is life just a trip? A trip without chances, a chance to grow up quick?

BIG
FAT
BAD
ASS
! ! !

[ASR]

He's not fat enough!

[Majikn]

I know that song!

"Ass" is a little hard to see but other than that it's cool.

[ASR]

It's such a big fat ass, how can you not see it!

[Mikero]

Majikn, the "Big Fat Bad Ass" has to always be partly obscured! It's been a silent rule to myself since the first one.

ASR, I'm sorry I have to control his weight. It has to be manageable, and he's not the Big Bad Fat Ass, who's rampant obesity you will have no problems with, I'm sure!

You remind me of the babe.




A principal character from my Trickshot stuff. Reviving her from 2006.
Back then, I would've had to pay likeness rights.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Sexy.

[preventerWIND]

Out of your league.

Damnit Michael, I'm green 'cause of the way you draw hands. I can only get them looking good by accident.

[Johncarllos]

Even though she has MAN HANDS.

Kidding, of course.

Very nice. Smooth.

[preventerWIND]

Mike, you forgot the clevage!

[Johncarllos]

I do not think he did.

She has fairly wide breasts. They do not appear to be pulled up and together by a bra.

[Majikn]

This is based on someone you've seen/know? Or an owned character? Because that is awesome hair. And it is, of course, wonderful art. No sketch lines, even, though were I to see any I wouldn't gripe.

[Mikero]

First off, thanks a lot guys!

Now then;

Out of your league.

That's funny, since I'm dating the girl the character was originally based on.

Even though she has MAN HANDS.

They were worse before. I slenderized them during cleanup, but I left the knuckle lines because I liked them, though I know they make the hands look a bit manlier.

Mike, you forgot the clevage!

I do not think he did.

She has fairly wide breasts. They do not appear to be pulled up and together by a bra.

They're bigger than in real life and a bit bigger than I wanted to draw them, really, because though I like to draw in a comic book style sometimes, I really to get rid of the style's common archetypes like supreme buffness and maximum breast sizes. However, the image didn't work well with them smaller or pushed together more... It made her body look really off.

But yeah, you can follow the circular shape and see that in this pose they wouldn't be cleaving up. Next time, Steve, just for you.

This is based on someone you've seen/know? Or an owned character? Because that is awesome hair.

Sort of both. She doesn't have the dreadlocks anymore.
This character, along with Trickshot himself, was made up a long time ago based on a game of pool, blah blah blah and it developed into a whole universe I've cooked up. So it is based on someone I know, but I still own the character.

No sketch lines, even, though were I to see any I wouldn't gripe.

I did cleanup this time. I hate doing cleanup, but I needed to for this.
I like the look of colours on rough-clean pencils, so I often take that route, but what I had in mind for this needed something more crisp. It's not inked or anything, and I didn't clean it up as hard core as an animation, so the lineart isn't exactly as dark as I originally wanted, but I like it now.

I didn't clean up the face by hand, but instead scanned the sketch as well and lined up the clean lineart with it, then cut out the face and used photoshop to do a little cleanup on it.

[preventerWIND]

Out of your league.

That's funny, since I'm dating the girl the character was originally based on.

Was replying to Vinch.

[Johncarllos]

Her boobs are almost exactly the same as a friend of mine's.

[Mikero]

Fine.

Her boobs are almost exactly the same as a friend of mine's.

Fiiiine.

[ASR]

sucks

[Mikero]

Ah, OK.

[TheOnly]

Too bad my phone don't display pictures/drawing.

[ASR]

I motion that my previous post, containing nothing more than the word "sucks", has more value and contributes more to the thread than TheOnly's post.

[preventerWIND]

All in favor say 'Aye'.

AYE!

[TheOnly]

AYE!

[Johncarllos]

You realize you're dissing your own post, right?

Aye.

[ASR]

Good. Now all in favour?

For the Canucks and Euros.

Sorry, Wind, you jumped the gun here. You get to go again, though. Bright side to everything.

[TheOnly]

But he Is right about it.

[Mikero]

I'm still deciding if I'm gonna put any prelim film work stuff up or not until I'm done the year... But here's some of my life drawing final I haven't decided if I'll put up on my blog or not.

I handed in better photos than these but I can't really access them right now.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Nice.

Who did you have for your Life Drawing class, BTW? I had a life drawing class last semester.

[Mikero]

Jeff Amey.

I'm sure he only teaches for animation.

[Johncarllos]

Hey Mike. I like your artwork there.

Good work.

[Mikero]

Thanks, bro!

I thought I rotated that Jasmine one but whatever.

[MOX]

I like the lighting.

I mean, I know it's kinda obvious, I kinda understand how lighting works but when I think about the options of light sources to use it all goes haywire before I actually start drawing.
Ok, what I'm trying to say is that the lighting on the girls' back looks really good.

Good job.

[Mikero]

Woahkay.

In my absence I've posted a LOT more frequently to my blog. I'm gonna update here with that stuff slowly over the next while, but I'm not sure I'll get to all of it since it goes back a bit. Anyway, here's just some sketches and doodles for now that you may have seen on, in, or around Facebook and/or have noticed my blog feed on there.

Posted on: 13 May 2010, 01:25:11

Alright. Here's some other stuff.

The Economic Hero, myself in Jamie Hewlett (Gorillaz) style on the Plastic Beach, and a toony fanart of DC Comics speedster character Jesse Quick.

More soon. It's a bitch to put anything up from home compared to at school.

[Johncarllos]

Those are great man!
I like the last one a lot.

[NovaMan XP]

Nicely done, Mike.

[Johncarllos]

I like the curve from the waist to the knee. It's very stylish.

[ASR]

Dude, all of this stuff is top-notch as usual.

[Slugkid]

Yeah, it's all pretty awesome.

[White Shadow]

What's that formula in the background?

[Mikero]

A formula derived from a Pharaoh's tomb for superspeed, that when uttered (like in a mantra I guess) would allow you to run fast and all that. It was derived by Professor Gill, who taught it to Johnny Chambers (Johnny Quick), who imparted the knowledge to his daughter Jesse Chambers (AKA Jesse Quick/Liberty Belle).

Recently, in "Flash: Rebirth", Jesse Quick finally solved the equation; "3x2(9YZ)4A! Jesse Quick. Max Mercury. Jay Garrick. Wally West. Bart Allen. Barry Allen. The Speed Force!"

Basically meaning it is actually an equation to tap into the Speed Force, a loosely defined force and/or extradimensional energy source that MOST of DC Comics' speedsters tap into with their powers.





Also thanks guys! I've been having fun trying to draw an established super-characters in styles completely different from comics. Also, I've got more/other stuff I want to put up, so I'll try to do it soon.

Posted on: 29 May 2010, 13:42:06

Some BGs from muh film. These are smaller and some are slightly different than what's actually in the film, all are watermarked just in case.

[Johncarllos]

oooh, purty.

[Mikero]

Nearly 3 years later...

I've got to try to put arts up here more often, 'cause I'm still 'bout it.

Here's some newer stuff I drewds. A watercolour about a friend that passed away, and a digitally painted (Corel Painter 12) chick from a comic I'm tryn'a write.






There's something cool with nipples in it I want to post too but obviously can't, so for that you'll have to check out mein blog and be 18 or over (probably).


I'm trying to actually post up stuff I've arted more often, instead of leaving it around in the real world where you guys can't see it. So I feel like reviving this tired old tortoise of a thread will add some accountability.

[TheRedPriest]

The colors look really good, but the girl in the first one looks like she's trying to #2...

[Mikero]

I JUST finished this.

Also it occurs to me that there's one art on my blog I'll never post here because it has naked boobies like you guys like, so go check that out sometime.

This movie holds up (for a fan) by the way.

Here's a trite doodle, just for funs.

Also I'm changing the name of this thread as it's kind of a new age.

[TheRedPriest]

Bites?  More like Lecter!

[Mikero]

Lecter? I don't even know 'er!

Banananana-na, WOMP!
