DC Meets Dali

Now while I primarily prefer to do pencil and paper art or digital art, I do like to dabble in other mediums when I can. The following painting is one such occasion. I worked on this piece a while back, where I decided to combine Salvador Dali's "The Persistence of Memory" (AKA the Melting Clocks Painting) with something a bit more modern. Obviously this concept has been done to death by thousands of artists, but hey, why not join in?

So, I introduce to you "The Persistence of Plastic Man".

Plastic Man for those who are unaware, is a quasi-popular character from DC Comics. A former mob enforcer, he fell into a vat of chemicals that gave him super-stretchy powers and later he joined the Justice League of America. That's honestly, all you need to know about him. :P

Main Website is Up! Hurray!

Hey gang, so you've have noted a slight lack of art work posted lately. Well, there is a very good reason for it. I've been working for on designing a building my very own website portfolio! And the good news is that its FINISHED!

YAAAAAAAAY!

Now, even though I'll have the new website, that doesn't mean I won't continue my blog. After all, a blog is much faster than updating, coding and formatting the website, and I'm a lazy, lazy man when I'm allowed to be. :P


For those who wish to visit my site, you only need to go to amdiazart.com! Its still not 100% finished as I've got a lot of other work I want to put up on it (and here), but its looking rather nice if I say so myself. So please check it out!

HP: The Deathly Hallows (The Three Brothers) - The Death of the 2nd Brother

So today I'm uploading a second image from work on the Three Brothers story art. The following sequence is when the second brother uses the resurrection stone that Death gave him to revive the spirit of his dead girlfriend. But the fact she's not technically alive, drives him to do something drastic.

Harry Potter: The Tale of the Deathly Hallows: Three Brothers Cover Art

So, as I mentioned some time ago, I did work regarding the small story of the "THREE BROTHERS" from the Harry Potter Franchise. I had hoped to scan and upload the completed work for all to see. In fact, I had hoped to put it up in time for the new HP movie that came out (which is AWESOME by the way!) but as mentioned in another previous post, fate has not been kind to me.

But hurray! I am now able to upload the water-colored version of the original concept art for the story!

Enjoy Muggles!

Hey everyone and HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2011!

So yeah, it's been a while since I've posted on here, and for that I'm sorry. Moving out of San Francisco back to Nebraska, along with the holidays and the fact my computer stopped worked at a very inopportune time, can be a bit problematic.

Well, now that I have my computer back, I'll be posting new stuff in the coming days. Furthermore, I'm working on starting up a new website for myself, where my work will also be displayed. Look for it soon.

Thanks!

Harry Potter Concept Art: The Tale of the Deathly Hallows: Three Brothers Cover Art

Greeting again peoples,
So here's another piece of work that I've done regarding the HARRY POTTER books. I've taken the story of the the THREE BROTHERS from book 7 "The Deathly Hallows" and worked to make them into a children's book. This is the cover for said book in early drawing form.

We see the three brothers each with their gift from Death himself. The eldest gets the Elder Wand, which is undefeatable. The middle brother gets the resurrection stone, which allows him to raise a specter-like ghost. The youngest brother has a cloak of invisibility that even Death himself cannot see through. In the distance, on the bridge that the brothers created with their magic, we see Death hungrily awaiting his chance. You'll have to read the whole story to understand it, but I really do love this tale.

And yes, the image is shoty again... I'll get my scanner to work! I promise! Really!

Enjoy,
A
