Made some progress with the T-shirt design. I think I finally got a good composition that works with this character and the theme. Taking it slowly and not rushing with doing the actual sketching and inking was the right decision. I think I'm finally ready to begin the actual drawing.

Marvin (moonwalkerwiz@mastodon.sdf.org)'s status on Thursday, 25-Jul-2024 15:03:02 JST Marvin Been working on this character for days based on “Ang Nuno,” a figure in the mythical origins of Angono where I’ve started a family and lived for a couple years. In some tales, he’s an old wise man also typically depicted as a supernatural being.
This design is specifically for a T-shirt. Angono declares itself the #art capital of the #Philippines but weirdly enough, I’ve done so little art since I moved here. In a way, this is me giving back to this place I’ve made my home.

Marvin (moonwalkerwiz@mastodon.sdf.org)'s status on Thursday, 25-Jul-2024 15:02:59 JST Marvin It's finally done! My illustration of “Ang Nuno,” a figure in the mythical origins of #Angono in the province of #Rizal in the #Philippines where I've lived for a couple of years. In some tales, he’s an old wise man typically depicted as a supernatural being.
The plan is to print this on a few shirts and see if folks here like it.

Marvin (moonwalkerwiz@mastodon.sdf.org)'s status on Friday, 22-Dec-2023 11:21:01 JST Marvin Don't really know much about chocolates, but I ended up researching the best #Filipino-made chocolates because we needed to find something good to give relatives for our #Christmas party. Tigre y Oliva was on that list, and their #bonbons were in the range of our budget, so we purchased some. They're really good. 👌
Also, I didn't know there's a growing number of local artisanal chocolate brands now. If we can make chocolates this good, it's an industry that needs more support.

Marvin (moonwalkerwiz@mastodon.sdf.org)'s status on Wednesday, 22-Feb-2023 10:15:14 JST Marvin It’s been a long time since we’ve had a serious, historically accurate depiction of the wild west. I’d very much like an epic treatment of #RedDeadRedemption and #RedDeadRedemption2 a la #TheLastOfUs by HBO.
