midknight preview page

the ritual is coming...
the sword is our only hope.

a preview of ritual sword's heroes...
tristan, the young hero who wields the ritual sword...
master oak, the wise, old turtloid who guides tristan...
fidgit, the feisty blue bearling with a terrible secret...

cardinal zyn is dipleased to hear of lord bite's failure,
but is awed to discover that the sacred eye of ra gem still exists...

tristan rescues princess naojha, while naojha's brother,
the pharaoh razahmhotep is shocked to discover the young hero's identity...

i wanted to give spidey a new look, a more animal totem-inspired suit.
the head is now vicious looking, having a pincer like design,
and his eyes extend slightly to the back, giving the impression
that he can see what's behind him, very much like how a real spider can.
the spider leg thingies on his back help him glide while swinging
in the air, also giving him an eerie silhouette.

"no more friendly neighborhood shit, it's time you feared the spider!"

my submission for an AXN action-strip contest...
from one of my original stories, "red sin"...
a story of a near future where the last weakened vampire clans
fuse the life juices of aborted babies unto their bodies for great evil power.
the vatican sends in the world's last hope,
a warrior priest to exterminate the vampires... father jericho smith.

tristan and fidgit in royal armor.

eminem? :D

the search for weng weng

so who is weng weng, you ask? he's the cult film icon of the Philippines, my homeland. standing at 2' 9", he is listed in the guinness world records as the shortest adult actor in a leading role. he is best known for his work as agent 00, a pint sized secret agent who can jump, fly through the air, slide on the floor and kick major ass. the ladies love him! he has a cool bike, and an even cooler jet pack.

as a tribute to the little guy, i created a comic book to tell his story, together with the help of a cool guy and friend, australian filmmaker, andrew leavold. the comic book will be among the rewards for the kickstarter campaign for andrew's weng weng documentary. please do check it out here:
WENG WENG KICKSTARTER

here's a teaser poster i created for the film. ;)

what happened

has it been a year since the last post? :O

well, a lot of things happened. me and my wife got pregnant, and she gave birth to our beautiful blessing, our baby boy, SKY RENNER. he just turned 2 months a few days ago, thank you Lord! :)

i am now more inspired to create more artworks, comic pages, sketch covers, sketch cards and anything else in between. i'll be blogging from the ipad more now too. i'll be posting some of my older stuff as well as my marvel samples. ;)

whoever you are, if you're reading this, thank you for hanging in there. more cool stuff soon! :D

spidey teaser

... here's a teaser of my spider-man concept design for some pages i did for a MARVEL comics talent search by CB Cebulski. will post the pages soon! ;)

midknight : paints

... this is a painting of my original character, MidKnight. i did this for a comic-book themed exhibit held last year at Artasia Gallery, Megamall, Philippines. inspired by 'starry night' and 'the scream'. MidKnight has been released in a self-published comic book in the Philippines. he was created in 1994, back when i was in high school! ;) a new series is scheduled for 2012.

it also features the Bible verse, Matthew 13:41 "The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil." NIV
