Grieverjoe (Jose Alvarez) is NOT a whiny emo as his name would suggest. He's an IT student with a love for art.

Magic: The Gathering commission, WIP 1

Hey, guys!
Just laying down some ideas for the poses on a commission I'm doing. These are Vraska and Jarad, from Magic: The Gathering. I am not familiar with these characters, or the game that much. I played it a bit with some friends, but these characters are new to me. Still, the Magic series has some badass artwork, so this is new territory for me.

I guess he's trying to lick his own elbow or something.

Samuel L Jackson [WIP]

This is what I've been working on the last couple days. This is my fifth attempt, I think. I haven't been saving the ones I didn't like.
Still working on it. I don't think it looks much like him at this stage. What do you guys think?
Critique, if it pleases you.

Victorian Plague Doctor

Had this idea the other day at school, so I finished it tonight.
I was actually surprised at not seeing this concept already. I did run a search for Victorian Plague Doctors, but all I got was Steampunk, which is not at all what I was looking for. Steampunk ≠ Victorian era.I purposely stretched him out a bit to give him a more creepy feel.
About 2 hours. PSCS5

Forgot to post this...

Not my work, but it was too amusing to not share.

“lol why didnt u liek skyewrd swrod geraheem was soooo hawt and fi was sexi”

No.

We all know how I feel about Fi already.

Sir Patrick Stewart

What started out as a simple sketch turned into a full-fledged values study, then it turned into a Sir Patrick Stewart portrait.
He's one of my favorite actors, but I can't say which character is my favorite.
Corel Painter IX, PSCS5. About 3.5 hours. Reference used.
Critique the hell out of it.
