New illustration of my boy #Sabretooth roughhousing with #Wolverine.
Still working on figuring out the best way to give it the comic book look but there’s progress, especially in form/positioning etc. Next one should be better.

I'm very happy with my new illustration. I wanted to draw two characters interacting and used a lot of references and tutorials to get the look I wanted. It's not quite there yet but I did feel a bit of a level up.
Hope you dig it.

Broke the 400lb squat today. It’s so rare that I feel proud of myself and it turns out it’s because of heavy cicles.

Still trying to find my technique. This time, it's TERRAX, an awesome character I had the pleasure of giving voice in the last LEGO movie. I'm not quite there yet but I like that these are coming out a bit better than the last.

Tried another #Hulk illustration with the "comic cover" schtick, this time with a "horror movie" vibe.

Ok but for real, if I'm on anyone at Illumination's radar, I have over 10 years experience in animation, 5 years of storyboarding, and 5 years directing. Please call me I have so many ideas

A character I love (soy ese) whom I don’t draw enough. Juggernaut. This time more “animated series” rather than “comic book”.

First pass WIP of a scene I'm working on. Scenes like this with slow, gradual movement give me a hard time and I've been staring at this for too long to trust my own judgement, so any constructive feedback before I give this another pass is welcome.

Re-uploading because an easily fixed mistake (trunks) was driving me up the walls.

I’ve been strengthening my lower back to squat more. I topped at 335 lbs today for three good reps. I know I can do more but I really don’t want to risk another injury.
I feel like I’ve added more mass to my legs this year than in the last four. My sweatpants actually feel tight.

POV you just said lucha libre is fake right to my face.
Having fun with brushes and perspective. I don’t know why I hadn’t drawn King before he’s literally me literally.

If you haven’t you NEED to check this out. The song is a bop but more importantly the animated music video is, as usual from Alex’s work, absolutely spectacular.
And we're LIVE...err...dead! KILLED TO DEATH BY PIRACY, the latest music video I had the pleasure of animating and directing for Alestorm is now up and available for viewing:
