Happy Halloween 2013!!

Candy and Bildad are back to say Happy Halloween!

Why? Because I always post a drawing of them on Halloween.

I should have done something more creative and story oriented, but it was fun to just draw. 

Inktober Week 3

I got a new pen this weekend, and I have been having fun with it.

This pen, she is a tricky one. I have to get to know better.  

Doodling with my little brother at Starbucks. He was doing home work :)

Inktober Week 2

Last week I went to Da Poetry Lounge and sketch while people performed their poems and spoken-word. 

It was a good night. 

I'll be going back.

Meet The Knight Owl

Last week I devoted way too much to designing this little guy, but it was a of of fun and a nice break. 

Why take so much time to draw an owl themed knight? I will tell you why. Yachtclub Games putting out a game later this year called Shovel Knight, and part of their Kick Starter campaign was an art contest. The winner got the $500-tier rewards and the possibility of the character making it into the game. Sadly I did not win, but I did get an honorable mention, and some pretty cool complements (check out the comment they left on the picture). But the best news is that they haven't picked the character that they are going to add into the game, so there is still hope!! Tweet at them to add @frakfraco's Knight Owl to the game!! Here is their twitter handle @YachtClubGames.

:P

Below is the presentation I emailed them. ENJOY!

Meet The Knight Owl! Don't let his size fool you, this little guy is a force to be reckoned with. Being the former inventor for the Enchantress herself he's got some tricks up his sleeves. His armor is covered in feather-like blades that he can throw at his enemies, a creation of his own design. This inventor gone rouge is on the lamb and is hiding out in the forest. If you by chance cross his path be careful, he is only out for himself. 

• Pros: He is as fierce as he is inquisitive, and his whit is as sharp as his armor; the perfect party guest.

• Cons: He is very nosey and is quite the gossip.

He likes to jump. 

He is short.

He is fashionable. 

This cloak helps him remain unnoticed, he is on the lamb after all. 

And he would LOVE to be in your game!!

This is how I Imagine The Knight Owl and Shovel Knight's first encounter going.

And yes he did invent that bridge.

Lastly here are some sketches of The Knight Owls development :)

Just for fun.

WHOO should you add to Shovel Knight?

The Knight Owl that's whoo!!

P.S. I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS!!

Please keep up the good work! And lets all be friends!

Adventure Time with Lillian and Frank

What started off as quick sketch turned out to be a lot of fun. Arguably I should have been more productive in a practical way, but so what who cares :P 

This is was inspired by a conversation I had with Lillian Ritchie at work on Friday, and by a message she left me!

The end.

P.S. I wish I was really was an Owl Wizard.

BAMF

Taking a page from the wonderful and talented Jake Wyatt for the Might Month of Marvel.

This is a young Nightcrawler, cira Ultimate X-Men, who is just seeing if he can teleport faster than a text message. Ya know normal young mutant stuff.

Hoo Me?

I watched the "Splicing"episode of Batman Beyond tonight.

So I drew myself with a little splicing of my own.

I would splice owl DNA! :P

The Fallies of Frankie

Last Friday and Saturday I had a rough couple of days, my clumsiness managed to reach new heights. 

• Friday afternoon I managed to bite my own finger so hard that I drew blood. MY OWN BLOOD! 

•Twenty minuets later I discovered that I managed to smash one of those McDonald's Apple Pies in my pocket, covering my ear-buds and 2 of my favorite drawing pens in dumb apple-goop. 

•Saturday morning I fell off a rock and halfway down a hill. 

•To top off all the fun, on Saturday night I decided to burn my iPhone case on a candle at the dinner table.  #YAY #sarcastichashtag 

 I worry for my future self.

When I Should Have Been Drawing the Model...

... I drew this cute girl with awesome hair. 

And... 

... a modern day Snow White. 

Which I  now realize has the same haircut as the Snow White from "Once Upon A Time". #ohwell

Bringing February to a Close

Bringing February to a close with some meeting doodles.

This week I actually liked my doodles.

Oh, did you know that my new tattoo has magic?

P.S. I colored them at home.

New Bag

The only thing that would make my new bag better would be THIS!!

Hoo Got A New Tattoo?

A huge thank you to Mr. Dave Quiggle for finishing my new (and most likely last) tattoo.

You sir are a blessing and a talent!

Ironwood Ring

I bought some jewelry on Saturday.

Year Seven

Seven Years later and I am still blogging.

Much has changed and much has stayed the same, but I suppose that is life.

2013 has started off looking... different

But not a contrasting difference, more of a saturation change. It's not like the "color" is changing, almost the exact opposite. It is like the "color" is saturating, becoming truer

I hope and pray that this richer "color" bleeds into the rest of the year.  

TRON: Uprising

Thanks to my buddy Bryce I found a new obsession

TRON UPRISING

So of course I cope with this new interest that same way I always have, I draw myself into it! I tried to draw an Owl Pattern the "Tron-lines", but yeah that didn't really work out. So I just went with the a whole roman numeral 3 vibe on my chest for my suffix

Weekend Doodles

Had a good drawing filled weekend.

T'was a blast
