Mai Shiranui

2011-03-31T21:21:00.001-07:00

Oh Mai! So, I've been jonesing to play the new "King of Fighters" game...but its not out yet. So I drew one of my favorite characters, Mai. She's a super-cool ninja chick; she's really fun to use and nice to look at too. :) I drew the original on paper, scanned it in, redrew it with my cintiq and coloured it in photoshop....its nice to actually finish some drawings sometimes. Her pose is not super exciting but I like it.

Valentine 2011

2011-03-24T20:32:00.001-07:00

Pretty self explanatory I think...

Sketches

2011-03-24T20:24:00.000-07:00

Havent posted in a really long time. I want to get the ball rolling again. So here's a couple of sketches I did a while back. Louis' drawing some fighters...what a surprise.

CaptainAmerica

2010-06-08T19:04:00.001-07:00

Here's a drawing I did a few months ago of the New Captain America. I really like the new design and I think my drawing turned out pretty good too.

Alter Egos

2010-05-10T20:32:00.000-07:00

Here's a drawing I did of some Street Fighter characters. I picked the characters that my friends and I choose when we play online...they're kinda like our Alter-Egos.
I also noticed that every version of Street Fighter is represented in this picture ...come on Geeks, try to prove me wrong.

Sketches

2010-03-09T20:24:00.000-08:00

Here are some assorted sketches that I did at work over that last few weeks.

The bottom one is a cartoon version of my co-workers, Mad Mark and Super Goulet!

You remind me of the Babe!

2010-01-30T18:45:00.001-08:00

This is a drawing that I did for my sister. Labyrinth is one of my all time favorite movies, my sister and I watched it countless times as kids. The art direction and craftsmanship on the sets and characters was awesome. Jim Henson Kills CG!

Classic Evil

2009-12-03T19:57:00.001-08:00

Here is a drawing I did for my friend Vero's birthday present.
Vero and I played every Resident Evil game together. Our favorite was always the original; and Barry was always our favorite character bacause his voice acting was SO rediculous.

DareDevilDive!

2009-12-02T11:27:00.001-08:00

Here's a drawing I did of DareDevil about to smash a panicking thug.

A Lonely Drink

2009-11-14T21:50:00.000-08:00

This is a drawing that I started a few months ago but never had the time to finish. I've put all the time I want to put into it. So here It is.
This is my comic character; Sofie. This would be one of her first stops after she escapes from the asylum. Anyways...work in progress.

T&T SuperMarket

2009-11-12T21:17:00.001-08:00

A T&T SuperMarket just opened near my house and its completely insane! Its completely changed the Traffic pattern in my area....They have COPS there to control the crowds!
It must be a real Party in there!
My buddy Syl and I had a funny conversation about it and I started singing the AC/DC song, we laughed and came up with the idea for this drawing together.
Thanks Syl.

Hard Day's Work

2009-11-09T13:57:00.000-08:00

I did this drawing of a car about a month ago and decided I would add this mechanic chick to it.

The car is heavily inspired by the Mini Cooper convertible.

Fyer!!!

2009-10-27T14:00:00.001-07:00

Haven't posted in awhile....thats what happens when you work I guess. These are some drawings I did in the last month during my breaks. Final Fight/Street Fighter themed again.

Not for the kids

2009-09-26T13:14:00.001-07:00

This is a poster I did for my friend's new feature film. The movie is going to be awesome and it was a pleasure to do the poster for him. There will be a premiere showing at the Mayfair Theatre in Ottawa sometime in November. Search for "Kristian Lariviere" on facebook or check out www.betthedevil-movie.com

John Cenauuhuhhhh....

2009-09-17T14:10:00.001-07:00

My wife and I went to a WWE show in Montreal and were amazed (and entertained) by how much people hate AND love John Cena. I had wrestling on the brian and came up with this little drawing of TripleH and Cena.

Bat&Bane

2009-09-10T19:34:00.001-07:00

I Sketched and Pened these at work and added the bats and BG at home. I like Batman and company. Bane was fun to do, cartoon friendly design.

Housewarming

2009-09-06T12:18:00.000-07:00

This is a drawing I did for my friends Martine and Mark as a house warming gift. I used a photograph of their new house as a base and tried to cartoon-it up abit to match the characters' style

Bad Influence?

2009-08-12T19:58:00.000-07:00

These are the characters from my '24 Hour Comic Challenge' back in 2005. A friend of mine recently read my comic and told me how he'd like to see more of their story...I agree, I want to see where these two are heading. The sequel is in the works....Stay tuned.

Stage Fright

2009-07-23T11:27:00.001-07:00

Just a simple little drawing i did to make my wife laugh

Pretty Girl Jogging

2009-07-20T08:22:00.000-07:00

More Cintiq fun with Cleanup, Colour and Brushes

Some more fun!

2009-07-19T14:17:00.000-07:00

Just some more Cintiq Fun!

First Cintiq BG!

2009-07-18T17:21:00.000-07:00

I FINALLY got my Cintiq! Woohoo!
It might not be great, but i'm drawing BGs again...more to come.

Red Robin

2009-07-11T08:21:00.000-07:00

I'm really into the Batman comics right now.
Here's a drawing of Tim Drake's new persona "Red Robin". i drew it with a blue pencil, did the blacks, reds and yellows with brushpens, then coloured the face and background on photoshop.

Gif Certificate

2009-06-24T22:51:00.001-07:00

This is a Gift Certificate that my wife asked me to make for our friend Caroline.
Thats my wife, Elise on the left and Caro on the right...the guy doing the stand-up is shaped like me since i'm the funniest guy in the world....ha ha ha

Big Shoes to Fill

2009-06-24T20:08:00.001-07:00

Congratulations Richard Grayson on your promotion to the status of Dark Knight. You now have the hardest job in the world.
DC...dont screw this up.

Wolverine

2009-04-27T12:43:00.001-07:00

Apparently its 'Wolverine appreciation month' so i thought i'd join in and add a little "Shnikt" to my blog.
I sketched this one with a color-erase pencil and inked it with Brush Pens...its one of my first times using brushpens so i'm fairly happy with the result

Cody VS Abigail

2009-04-24T15:06:00.000-07:00

Another FinalFight themed drawing...the convict Cody battles one of MadGear's top thugs, Abigail, who was the boss of stage 5 in the original game.

FinalFightTheme

2009-04-24T14:22:00.001-07:00

Here are some sketches i did of some of the characters from the Classic Beat'em up videogame "Final Fight"

Galactic Tornado!

2009-03-31T22:28:00.000-07:00

This one was fun to draw but a pain to colour...i need a cintiq screen and i have to read some tutorials because this was ridiculously time-consuming.
"THERE MUST BE A BETTER WAY" (sob)

Moon Knight

2009-03-30T18:15:00.001-07:00

Hey, I'm back after a few months without posting...i was busy, lazy, whatever you wanna call it.
Anyways here it is, my main man, Moon Knight

High Energy Ken

2008-12-04T20:59:00.001-08:00

I had a lot of trouble picking the colours for this one...they might still change

Ryu'sa runnin

2008-12-03T20:25:00.001-08:00

Am I obsessed with Street Fighter? ...I think the correct answer to that question is...boarderline

Cute Girl and Rock & Roll

2008-12-02T20:52:00.000-08:00

I havent posted in a while so i just put up this random drawing of ladies i was playing around with...Just trying some stuff out with designs and colours and photoshop.

Rose

2008-11-10T21:02:00.001-08:00

Today I found out that Rose was going to be on the Home Version of Street Fighter VI and I just couldnt get her off my mind. I sketched this at work and coloured it at home...colouring this made me realize that I need some new equipment...colouring with a mouse is a pain in the butt

Brendan's Inking challenge

2008-10-28T18:42:00.000-07:00

My buddy Brendan and I collaborated on these 2 drawings. I penciled the one on the left then he inked it. He penciled the one on the right and I inked it. As you can see, his Ink work feels alot more confident than mine, but i think they both turned out nice.

Balrog-pen

2008-10-21T16:36:00.000-07:00

I was challeged by my co-worker Brendan to a 2 minute street fighter Draw-off and i ended up with this cool Balrog pen sketch....i liked how it felt so i finished it off, adding abit of detail here and there during the rest of the afternoon

Fight Night

2008-10-21T16:27:00.001-07:00

Pretty self explanatory, i made this poster to advertise a fighting game night that i organized at work with a few other guys. I thought that putting Zangief and Mario would be a good representation of the variety of games we would be playing....and its just plain funny

New Challengers 2

2008-10-02T20:58:00.000-07:00

I'm noticing that mowhawks and Ponytails are very popular with this new batch of fighters....here we have Rufus and El Fuerte. both were drawn at work during break

New Challengers

2008-09-30T19:36:00.000-07:00

This one was done on the Bus on my way to Toronto, then i inked it at the Street Fighter Tribute launch party between signing peoples copies of the book.
I dont have much experience with ink but i'm planning on starting to use it alot more.

Training

2008-09-30T19:28:00.001-07:00

This is a drawing i did on the bus coming back from my Street Fighter Weekend in Toronto.
Nothing Fancy, but i had fun with a simpler style...i also did a quick ink pass on this thing (also on the Bus)...not the best idea

TwoFace

2008-09-04T20:55:00.001-07:00

Pretty straight forward...the guy has TWO FACES....or two half faces...

Dudley VS Balrog

2008-09-02T19:27:00.000-07:00

Here it is...the final version of my drawing that was published in the Street Fighter 20th anniversary Tribute book. I recommend everyone check out the book, its 320 pages of amazing, in your face, Street Fighting Love! check it out at www.udonentertainment.com

Jungle Chick

2008-09-02T19:23:00.001-07:00

Everybody loves a sexy jungle chick...right?

Kick the Bird

2008-07-25T04:45:00.000-07:00

Here is another of many street fighter drawings to come...as you can see, Backgrounds are not my strong point but i'm working on it

The Joker

2008-07-21T20:37:00.000-07:00

Obviously I just saw the Dark knight and was inspired to draw the man that stole the show.
You will be missed sir.

Necro

2008-07-20T15:16:00.000-07:00

Obscure characters need love too

Wine Label

2008-07-20T13:04:00.000-07:00

I thought i'd kick off my posting with the wine label I did for my wedding.
Thats me and my new wife Elise

I have a blog now!

2008-04-09T10:44:00.000-07:00
