Here're some drawings I've made in the last year. I basically chose to upload the good/most recent ones. The oldest is from almost two years ago. I've done some sketches for a possible Pred mask (my very first mask -- this forum has inspired me) that I'll make during spring break. I won't show those pictures, though, as I'd like to keep the designs to myself until I start and create a thread for the project. On another note, some of these drawings may seem computerized (like the Lovecraft-ish monster I did), but rest assured that they were all drawn with mechanical pencil and paper. I had to resize them, since the scans were huge. Anyway, hope you guys enjoy these pictures. I'll upload more as I make more!

An Alien I made during study hall (boredom set in). This guy combines aspects of various versions (he's got some Resurrection in him, some A2, some AVP, and a little bit of A3). I'm really pleased with the way the mouth turned out. Probably the coolest teeth I've done IMO.



A Lovecraftian creature head I designed. Still trying to figure out what a badass body for 'im would look like, but there it is...



A Giger Alien I drew for an 8th Grade art assignment. The objective was to take something from the media and manipulate it. So I took Giger's Alien and gave him a few personal touches and extra details.



My interpretation of the Praetorian, which I've worked on over the past two weeks, whenever I'd get a break or open window in math class lol. The base was a big step for me, since I don't usually add bases to my drawings, but I like how the eggs and general slimy gunk looks.



Probably the grail of my drawings so far, the Predator 2 holding a spear and trophy skull. I had to pump up his helmet, so I gave him some battle-damage. I modified the gauntlets and armor a bit, so the shapes are familiar, but with a little bit of "me" in 'em. This guy, I spent a lot of time on. He was basically worked on "on and off," because I wouldn't do anything on him unless I was truly in the mood for drawing. I figured I did that detailed Giger Alien, so I should pay my respects to Predator, as well.



Like I said, more stuff will be posted as it is done. Hope you guys found this interesting, so far!

[hellonearth]

man, i really like this stuff. a lot of good technique in there buddy! the concepts are awesome! just start drawing on paper without lines!!!!! really cool shit though

[predator_addict]

awesome artwork mate love the designs very cool you should try and color em would make them look even better

[Blade3327]

I don't usually color my work, as the amount of fine lines really wouldn't look right.

@Hellonearth: Thanks for noticing the line thing, dude ! Usually I just draw the whole thing from top to bottom lol.

[Denshin]

Will ya look at that, magnificent amount of details youve put in there. Great work =D

[Kare]

Those are some really impressive pieces of art there.
Keep up the great work.

[Blade3327]

Thanks, guys! Means a lot. This is actually the first time I've uploaded my art anywhere, so I'll be sure to add new stuff! Been kinda busy in study hall lately, but I think I might be able to work on something new tomorrow -- it's the weekend, so doing HW then won't be too high a priority lol.

[PredatorHunter34]

Hello,
Those are pretty impresive drawings.I really like the Predator and the Alien Queen.

Nice work,Daren

[Blade3327]

That's actually a Praetorian, a new Alien lifecycle from the games. Glad that it looked enough like a Queen, though! I've always had trouble drawing her -- the crown is a pain. But this tells me I'm on the right track shape-wise .

[Phildeville]

That's just brilliant! Totally love it.

[elliot117]

how do you do that lol i do art as a GCSE and i haven't got a hope in hell at pulling off anything like that how old are you?

[Celtic117]

Wow, you have some serious talent there bud. if i could draw like that i would be drawing 24/7.

[svehunter]

Very nice man you are good!

[Blade3327]

Thanks so much, guys! Truth is, I've been drawing since I was five. And I'm a freshman in HS.
Back in 4th grade, we saw AVP and my mom told me there were *shocker!* more Alien and Pred films. From that moment on, I was a goner. So yeah... my folks got me into it .

[Wolf Predator 1]

Awesomeness dude

[ciump]

I am form an art school and I personally found your drawings VERY COOL man, you had it! Keep drawing and you will keep surprising us! Good luck!

[Blade3327]

Thanks so much, guys!

A little preview of what's to come:


This is just the head, but the full P1 body will be done too. More updates soon!

[artaserspredator]

Good Nice All Work

[Warlock0024]

Very nice work man...keep em comming.

[Blade3327]

Sorry for the lack of updates. Since my last post, I've had a ton of stuff to deal with -- mask-making (which is still ongoing ), collecting, game-modding, etc. While my P1 drawing still isn't finished, here's a little update in the spirit of the new movie coming out tomorrow:



I apologize for the weird contrast and blur effects. I had to lower the contrast/brightness settings to make the ligher lines visible. They will be darkened, of course. But since they're so hard to see at this point, a little editing was in order. More updates to come. As soon as I finish this badboy (and I'm planning on doing it very soon), I hope to start a sketch of one of the new Preds !

[Blade3327]

Well, it's been a while and I've been working on my mask, school, and other projects. Tonight, I decided to finish up that P1 I started way back when. You may notice I removed the plasmacaster, but only because it didn't quite fit in this particular scene. So here he is, a drawing I like to call "The Ravager":



And my *slightly* updated P2 drawing, now titled "Trophy Hunter":

[Blade3327]

Did a new drawing of Classic fairly quickly. Those dots payed off, but my hands are killing me at the moment .

This one's called "Ex-Captive":


Hope you guys like him. Next piece will probably be either a Super Pred or an AVP.

[CoolleKotten]

Spots are always something that takes alot of time, but it sure pays off in the end. Nice job on the classic!

[Blade3327]

Here's something a little different than usual. I decided to ink one of my drawings, then scan it in to produce the final image. I used PITT artists' pens as well as Microns to do the job, and I absolutely love them. Wide range of thicknesses for a wide range of lines. This one's called "Star Beast (Alien)"

[Blade3327]

Started this guy towards the end of the last school year when I had some down-time in American Studies. Had to rework his right hand and left arm a few times before getting them right, then I added the details and finished the fine-tuning during my recent Italy trip. Since this was drawn on notebook paper (d'oh!), I'm blue-lining it and inking it -- same thing I did with the Alien in the post above -- to get a crisper black-and-white image.
