TMNT VILLIANS CHALLENGE Dirtnap Final art

2011-07-27T11:27:00.002-04:00

Well Here's the final foot approved Dirtnap design.:D

Now for the 80's TMNT turtle Background.

Pro wrestler Hogan Savage AKA the "Mortician" was once Pro Wrestling Alliance Champion. Revered for his dirty fighting techniques and finishing move "The DirtNap". During the No holds Barred Championship cage Match He spots what seems like a giant turtle(mike) in the rafters watching the match. When he finally realizes he has taken his eyes from his opponent he is greeted with a steel chair...... Waking up to his opponent holding the belt and the crowd going wild. Enraged by his loss he grabs the Microphone and claims he saw a Giant turtle in the rafters. Of course the fans and the defending Champion laugh at the thought. Savage grabs the chair and hit's the champion and is booed out of the arena.
Outside of the arena vowing to himself to prove to the PWA that Giant turtles exist he is greeted by a shadowy figure.

Savage: Who are You?

???: The one who can give you power to prove the world wrong. I can give you back your honor.

To Be continued cue Turtles theme song!!

DEF JAM: RISE OF YOUNG MONEY

One could only hope for a new Def JAm Game. It was pretty much a solid fighting game franchise that peaked at New York and inevitably fell victim to the realism movement in Video Games. So out of boredom and honor of the franchise. I'll probably be drawing characters for the imaginary rise of Def JAM YOUNG MONEy!

MUTANT CHRONICLES-FANTASYFLIGHT GAMES

2008-03-14T17:36:00.008-04:00

so i got a message today from my brother Andez or (DEZ) as he is known on this blogsite saying that mutant chronicles had been released and that they had used some of are designs we had did for fantasy flight games back in back in march of 06 and here they are.with the conceptart aswell who ever took these pics thanks! THE CONCEPTS OF THE BIOGIANT,TORMENTOR,AND TEKRON WARMASTER WERE DONE BY ANDEZ GASTON AND THE TECHNOMANCER BY MYSELF (ANDERSON GASTON-AG)THESE ARE THE ONLY DESIGNS I'VE SEEN SO FAR THAT WERE USED UNTILL I SEE THE OTHER FIGURES I'LL KEEP THE OTHER CONCEPTS STORED SAFELY AWAY FOR NOW-AG.

project number 1-TMK

2008-03-02T21:40:00.009-05:00

maybe it would work as a graphic novel. After watching Itchi the killer and Grindhouse I was wondering what would happen if Takashi Miike ,Quentin Tarantino,and Robert Rodriguez all joined up to make another Gind house movie I guess it would be a triple feature with uber violence ,random exploisions, badass cars, and Babes. I got a ticket reserved for that event.-_- my original paint that jump started this twisted idea 0_0

well the concept is inspired by the seven samurai if you have'nt seen it yet go check it there was a western version of it as well better known as the magnificent seven.well now that you get what i'm talking about this project is kindof like that..... only reversed. more conceptart to come.-AG

personal projects-AG

2008-03-02T21:31:00.006-05:00

it been a while since the last post.been kind of busy and taking some time off from drawing stuff for others to work on some personal projects of mine.

16 till Deployment.

2008-02-07T15:10:00.030-05:00

Another day another day of Camp P. Eagerly awaiting deployment there isn't much left for me to do here besides staying on base.Today was just like any other day in the military a bunch of waiting on shit to happen.Standing in formation for 2 captainsmaste in the freezing cold weather.coming to work having work to put up with crap and have work put off on me. Just anotherday. just ready to get it over with already.

2008-02-03T14:05:00.001-05:00

Well todays a rainy day here in sunny california but that's false advertisment. Here I was planning to go to the library and as I look outside it's pouring.After a couple of swears I decided that I really needed to draw more than anything and the worst I can get from walking in freezing cold rain with nail biting wind chills is well sick. I can deal with a little sickness to draw. So this want be too long I have to do some research an development.

A day gone.A day closer to home.

2008-01-30T15:59:00.001-05:00

Well today is wednesday here in Camp P. I don't know what it is about this place but lately it been making me rather uneasy. It's not just the location of everything around the place it's more of less that this place is just not home for me.As much as I try to make myself comfortable her I don't see it happening anytime soon. You know it's bad when I'm actually anticipating going to iraq with excitement just to get away from this place.Doesn't that seem kind of awkward no? Anywho I spend most of my days here hanging out with the fellow HM's or at the library. I try not to hang around the marines too much even though I live with them I just don't want to get into any mess that I really don't want to be in.I'm perfectly fine being somewhat of a loner. Anderson and I talked about alot of things mainly concerning the future of art and stuff needless to say Things are definately going to be different and more exciting when it comes to artistic projects and approaches.

I spent today wandering how everyone is doing back on the east coast how my friends are doing in Dallas and all over the world right now as my time is ticking down till I hit the sandbox.Not Many artists go to war that's for sure.I ask myself some basic questions: How will this come into play and influence my artwork?how will this influence what I create? Not only that how will being in the military in general influence us aside from taking up most of our time. I have new motivation in general to get back to the artworld not only for myself but for my brother and girl as well.

I wonder what things are to come in mmy life and how will I handle them. Usually I would just shrug my shoulders and be like maybe next time. I've sincce matured and if I must thank the military for one thing I really learned how to become a leader, mentor, and public speaker. Giving speaches to 200 something odd people a day was something I would have never though I would be doing back in school.

I've also started keeping numerous journals one will be about my experiances about my deployment,one a list of memoirs that my girl wanted me to write and the others will be for various projects that pertain to me once I get over there so I'll have something to work on. I will hopefully transfer all the journals onto a laptop when I get one.

The proojects of mine that are under development right now for me is SPARk and a yet unnamed dez sci-fi project. Anderson is working on his own personal sci-fi and Fantasy project as well. Of course most of my concept work will be lead on paper because I won't have a wacom tablet or paints in the desert. Until my next entry keep on searching back here for mor work or the announcement of our official site under development.

Till then keep on crank'n
