I’m still around and drawing. I’ve undertaken some new projects, and will be producing stuff for everyone to see within the next few weeks. The above is a warm-up artwork I did today to test out some new brush techniques.</p> <p>There will be more comics, drawings, and announcements coming soon!</p>http://alacritystudios.com/post/46793881852http://alacritystudios.com/post/46793881852Sun, 31 Mar 2013 18:21:59 -0400artdrawingIllustrationcomicswebcomics<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mb2y5cCUXk1qbfouwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>The Queen of Bullcrap - 2012</strong></p> <p>This is the first page of a work in progress minicomic I’m making for <a href="http://www.masscomics.com">MICE</a>. It’s a short story that involves two main characters from Maglorificent, and shows off the new character designs/style I’m going for. Let’s hope I get this all done before tomorrow.</p> <p>Like I said in a previous post, I have been busy from paid drawing work, and it has only been until recently that I have been able to work on some of my own stuff again. It’s a bit of relief, but there’s some pressure as I have to whip up some stuff to show all you folks in person tomorrow.</p> <p>Like always, more to come!</p>http://alacritystudios.com/post/32478843638http://alacritystudios.com/post/32478843638Fri, 28 Sep 2012 17:53:36 -0400maglorificentMagMondayMICEdrawingcomicswebcomics<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mayztyQabn1qbfouwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Work in progress -2012</p> <p>This is a sketch I’ve been working on today.

I’ve been doing a lot of paid drawing work these past few months, and that has taken time away from working on my own projects.<br/><br/>The above image is a quick color reference of one of the main characters from Maglorificent. I decided to rework her design because my drawing style has changed a bit. I’ll likely try a non-rough version sometime in the future.</p> <p>While future updates will be less frequent than they used to, I’ll make sure to keep updating with new content here. I’ll also put some details on what my future plans are for my own projects soon!</p>http://alacritystudios.com/post/31935738157http://alacritystudios.com/post/31935738157Thu, 20 Sep 2012 15:52:00 -0400maglorificentMagMondayannadrawingIllustrationCharacter Design<p>Hello all,</p> <p>I just wanted to update here that I will be posting a cluster of updates next week. Apologies for the lack of weekly updates as I am deep in some project work.</p> <p>I made a <a href="https://twitter.com/alacritythief/status/219835871170539520/photo/1">post on twitter</a> with a preview of a work in progress, and it&#8217;ll be a full color piece when it&#8217;s completed. Look forward to that and more updates really soon!</p>http://alacritystudios.com/post/27424423060http://alacritystudios.com/post/27424423060Tue, 17 Jul 2012 15:21:47 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5jbyjeg4r1qbfouwo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5jbyjeg4r1qbfouwo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5jbyjeg4r1qbfouwo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5jbyjeg4r1qbfouwo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5jbyjeg4r1qbfouwo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5jbyjeg4r1qbfouwo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5jbyjeg4r1qbfouwo7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><strong>Happy Non-Magloricent <strike>Monday</strike> Tuesday!</strong></p> <p>While today’s update is not exactly drawing or comic related, it is however art related. The above images are from an online game I play called “APB: Reloaded”. In APB, you can create custom art and clothing.</p> <p>The game’s art tools exercise my artistic skills, and gives me an easy excuse to play the game.</p> <p>The game’s symbol editor (where I make my in-game art), has a limit of 100 primitive vector symbols (circles, triangles, bean shapes, etc). It’s always an artistic and mathematical challenge creating an finished image within that 100 symbol limit.</p> <p>I enjoyed spending time recreating the Aquabats logo as well as their Battletram van, which I ride around time to time in game. (The Aquabats logo is the property of the Aquabats, so I don’t own the rights to that.)</p> <p>The last four images were commissioned for in-game money by a friend, with the last one being the most challenging. I had a blast creating it, and I give her my thanks giving me such a challenging request.</p> <p>There are plans in the works on creating a separate blog for my gaming adventures, but that will come after I finish work on my anthology piece. Back to work for me!</p>http://alacritystudios.com/post/24998375103http://alacritystudios.com/post/24998375103Tue, 12 Jun 2012 22:51:00 -0400APB ReloadedAPBCessneiRyvaliaartIllustrationAquabats<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m54ylr4lKO1qbfouwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Happy Maglorificent <strike>Monday</strike> Tuesday!</strong></p> <p>This is a (very) late Monday/early Tuesday update.

I’ve been spending all my time on my anthology piece, which is 3/4ths done. The deadline is quickly approaching.</p> <p>The above image is a panel from “The Greatest Sneakers of All Time”.

It’s a multiplayer free-to-play open world shooter, kind of like GTA. The game’s character customization is so powerful, you can create your own clothing with your own custom designs and logos.  You can also customize cars and compose your own music in the game as well.</p> <p>I drew and painted this in Paint Tool Sai, and it took me pretty much half of the day to do!</p>http://alacritystudios.com/post/22630973525http://alacritystudios.com/post/22630973525Mon, 07 May 2012 22:37:00 -0400APBIllustrationMagMondayRyvaliaartdrawingAPB Reloaded<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3gtqpwp7z1qbfouwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Bonus Update - Odo</strong></p> <p>Here’s another Star Trek: DS9 related art I made. Like I said in my <a href="http://alacritystudios.com/post/18554465697/bonus-update-dapper-dax-for-all-the-star-trek">last DS9 related post</a>, Odo is my favorite character from the series.</p> <p>I finished watching all of DS9 several weeks ago. It’s right up there with the goodness of TNG. My only criticism, is the last season of DS9 was poorer than the other ones, but having six good seasons out of seven isn’t bad.</p> <p>More updates to come!</p>http://alacritystudios.com/post/22339221191http://alacritystudios.com/post/22339221191Thu, 03 May 2012 17:16:00 -0400OdoDS9deep space nineartIllustrationFanartstar trek<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3eyf98mfL1qbfouwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Happy Maglorificent <strike>Monday</strike> Wednesday!</strong></p> <p>Hello all, sorry for the recent infrequent string of updates. I got a bit burned out by Boston Comic Con weekend.

While Maglorificent is primarily a slice-of-life story, there are some dark fantasy undertones that are explored every so often. Chapter 2 visits these themes a bit heavier than chapter 1.</p> <p>I’ve been influenced a bit by my recent gaming and reading habits, playing Skyrim and Dark Souls, while reading the “Game of Thrones” series of books.</p> <p>Stay tuned for more updates!</p>http://alacritystudios.com/post/19961096953http://alacritystudios.com/post/19961096953Mon, 26 Mar 2012 14:20:12 -0400webcomicsdrawingmaglorificentMagMondayconceptart<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1ay3vlIy41qbfouwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Happy Maglorificent <strike>Monday</strike> Thursday!</strong></p> <p>Today’s update is a continuation of the space western theme.

Some of you might have spotted this on my Twitter feed earlier. Since I’ve been watching a lot of Deep Space Nine, I decided to make a Captain Sisko-related response to this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oPkcl9sDNc">Magical Pony-related video</a>.</p> <p>It took a lot more work than I thought it would: finding a bit over thirty images of the captain, and cutting out the backgrounds by hand in Photoshop.</p> <p>Since I did not have a drawing update for you today, there will be a <strong>larger art/comic related update later this week!</strong></p> <p>Stay tuned!</p>http://alacritystudios.com/post/18811253714http://alacritystudios.com/post/18811253714Mon, 05 Mar 2012 17:46:00 -0500videoyoutube poopyoutubeBenjamin SiskoDeep Space NineDS9Star Trek<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m07ssmcAqj1qbfouwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Bonus Update - Dapper Dax</strong></p> <p>For all the Star Trek: DS9 fans out there. While Jadzia Dax isn’t my most favorite DS9 character (that award goes to Odo), I was interested in drawing her hair and clothing design she wore in “Past Tense”. It was such an odd future take on Victorian design that I dubbed the style “Dapper Dax”.</p> <p>This image was drawn in Paint Tool Sai. I’ve been experimenting with the program and liking it a lot, mainly for the dry brush features.</p> <p>See you next update!</p>http://alacritystudios.com/post/18554465697http://alacritystudios.com/post/18554465697Thu, 01 Mar 2012 11:36:00 -0500Dapper DaxJadzia DaxPaint Tool Saiartdrawingds9fanartstar trekIllustration
