AFL Nurses

So I have been toying around with the idea of having some sort of kinky nurses for my AFL fighting tournament on deviantart. Mainly because they would be a weird nurse endorsing a fighting tournament, especially one hosted by a guy named AngelCrusher.

So here are some more designs which I am happier with, adapting an older character design for it. So he is some different designs and colours, what works and what doesnt?

231 - Sonic

Sonic is in dire need of a redesign to freshen him up. I present, triangle Sonic!

230 - Lil Miss Love

I designed a female superhero character ages ago for a contest to have the design feature as some sort of sidekick or love interest. Didnt win, but I digged the design. Anyway, I took that young character and just made her look more grown up.

229 - Naruto?

So yeh, this is a weird Naruto all grown up.

228 - Superman

Drew a Superman sketch upon request as I never had any Superman art prints. This turned out pretty well for a lunchtime sketch, just need to add some inks and colour and its ready to go.

227 - SleepWalker

Over at the Classic Marvel Figurine Collection blog I offered my drawing services for my lunchtime sketch and this character was requested. Now I dont know much personally about SleepWalker, hence the generic pose and 2D animated design. Remember these are quick sketched made during my lunch break. ;)

226 - Kid America

Gah! Another Captain America sketch! This time, with added biro! Made him more kiddish with the proportions, and to further that idea, his 'a' on his forehead isn't a captial letter. Aww.

225 - Bart

A little something in the making. We have seen Homer Vs Peter...but what about Bart Vs? What about turning it into a tag team? Just a few options where this could go folks. Stay tuned for inks and colours.

224 - Dark Knight

Batman getting some head shot love. He has the squarest jaw in the world...which is his real super power.

223 - Lion-O

Thunder....Thunder...Thunder...THUNDERCATS! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooo!
I cant wait to see the new designs for the new cartoon series. Looking back, Thundercats is so camp.

222- Homer?

Just messing around with a very quick Homer sketch in a different cartoony style.

221 - Goku

Another love that I dont show enough for, Dragonball Z. Well here is Goku in a pose from my DBZ pencil case that I adapted for my own style.

220 - NightCrawler

Just had a bit of fun with this design. I still regard the opening sequence in X-2 as one of the best intros to a film ever with NightCrawler kicking ass. I watched it, looked to my friend in a nod of awesomeness, and even texted my future girlfriend. It was just that damn cool.

219 - Captain America

So at comic con they release a ton of cool Marvel news, but we have yet to see Chris Evans in the Captain America costume. Will it be any good? Next comic con not only should they show a decent trailer but also Spider-Man with a bit of luck.

This is why I must go to San Diego or where it is held next year.

218 - Spider-Man

Yes! Spectacular Spider-Man! Finally I have done a decent sketch of him in this style. Its just his head, but its a start! Sketched from my ipod freezed on a frame. :)

217 - Galactus

Pretty happy with how ol purple helmet turned out. Its really a design which shouldnt work, and why they didnt do it in the movies...but in all honesty, it just does. Somehow.

216 - Magneto

Now there is a pattern emerging with these sketches that you may not know. They are all inspired by toys of the characters sitting on my desk. Its a good thing, as if I am stumped for things to draw, I look up, see a character, and get to work. :)

215 - Thing

Fantastic 4's Thing! I sketched this based off a Burger King movie toy I have on my desk in work, and realized a few things. Firstly...what a stupid idea giving a rock man boots. Impractical and just expensive and stupid looking. Secondly, poor Thing wouldnt be able to use MP3 players or ipods as he hasn't got ears.
Poor guy.

214 - Virtus

A little appreciation to a buddy's original character Virtus. A swell superhero character design which is just fun to draw. Check out the artist!

Cardiff Homer


Been doing a few craft shows with some prints of Homer Vs Peter in Cardiff & Swansea City football kits, which have seemed to go down really well. So during one show, I sketched and coloured this drawing and got quite abit of interest from it. Not the best Homer as I didnt have reference, but it'll do.

212 - Strasimira

I still owe a drawing to Ritualist of his character, and after one failed attempt, this is more a direction and style I am happier with. It isn't as buff as the character (and artist) would like, but personally I like the clean cartoon look. Colours to come.

211 - Deadly Nurse

Still drawing bad nurses, just trying out different designs for my AFL tournament. One of these days I will actually draw up a finished version.

210 - Naruto

Whoa! Updating the blog! Expect a massive sketch dump as I update with some lunchtime work sketches.

Here is Naruto. Shocking how much I love the series yet dont draw much fanart of it. So here is a classic Naruto pose, in LAWay style.

Cheryl Cole Painting


Finished a 7"x5" original painting on canvas, hand signed, to sell at Pontypridd's Big Bite. Cheryl always seems to get a lot of attention with my prints so I thought I would do something more special. It is available to buy online - just email me la_way@hotmail.co.uk

207 - Buzz Lightyear

After finishing up Woody, I drew up Buzz. This was my second pass after messing up and not leaving enough space again, so I changed things, like buzz aiming forward instead of 3/4s.

Street Fighter X Tekken

Not content with blowing your minds with Marvel Vs Capcom 3, they step it up with Street Fighter Vs Tekken. Dreams do come true folks. Another reason to go to a comic con, all this awesome movie and game news. I WANNA GO!

206 - Woody

Phew! This took longer than I wanted. I initially sketched it out but didnt leave enough room on the paper for his hat! Gah! So I had to redraw it. Really happy with how it turned out. Did I get away with that hat? Pain to draw.

Anyway, still havent seen Toy Story 3 yet. Cant wait though! Will try to get Buzz drawn up too.

DC Universe Online



Now, I ain't a huge DC comic fan. I still enjoy the movies and games, and some of the characters. Sounds like DC put on a poor show at the San Diego Comic Con compared to Marvel, but there's no denying that this is an awesome trailer for their upcoming game.

Why bother with a live action Justice League if you can make it look this good?

Also...come on people, post the Thor and Captain America trailers online!

205 - Chun-Li

So I needed something to draw to warm up and went with chun li. Its ok, not great. Worked quickly, coloured quickly, face needs work, who knows. If I find spare time, I may redo the lineart and fix the face, recolour, then throw it on dA. Until then, it can stay here.

204 - Lady Gaga

Forget that fox version, here is Lady Gaga! Finally gotten around to modifying the artwork to look more like a person. I also added a cooler hue to the image, very faint, a little bit of texture, and some extra shading.

203 - Elastigirl

Drew a quickie of Elastigirl in work during lunchbreak. I was originally going to draw a snarling wolverine, yet somehow ended up here. The magic of artwork.

202 - AngelCrusher 4


For my AFL4 tournament on deviantart, drew up my character AngelCrusher in a new costume. Well, actually the drawing was done before as you may have noticed, but with updated colours.

201 - Captain America Redesign

Saw on project rooftop that the recent task is redesign captain america. My design isnt too far from whats already been done so probably wouldnt do well in their little contest. But was fun.

200 - Welsh Rubgy

Drawn on my lunchbreak loosely based on some Welsh rugby player.

199 - Traditional Welsh Girl

Tried a quickie, a welsh girl in traditional outfit. I thought I may do this as a nice crisp vector one day, who knows.

198 - Red n Black

AngelCrusher in different colours.

197 - Superman

My numbering is out of whack, I forgot what number I was on. Anyway, here is a mini superman to go with batman.

196 - All You Desire

A thing for deviantArt. Was meant to be a quicky reusing old photoshop layers to make a new page, but I got quite involved in the end.

195 - Little Dark Knight

Watching over the shadows of the schoolyard...

194 - Smile?


Is this a smile, or a snarl? With a name like AngelCrusher, it could easily be either.

193 - Look over your Shoulder

AngelCrusher keeping his eye out on you.

191 - Sonic

A silly Sonic to go with Mario. Sonic games used to be fun. Good times.

190 - Mario

Its-a me! Mario! Drawing around in a fun style, really changing it up. Mario annoys me. I loved the old games, but now he has seen as perfect, and it frustrates me.

189 - Piccolo


Quick small sketch of a chibi like piccolo with markers and a brush pen to quickly, very quickly ink it.

188 - Goku

Keeping with the Dragonball spirit, here is kid Goku.

187 - Vegeta

The Saiyan Prince, Vegeta! Love me some Dragonball Z.

186 - Captain America


Captain America is suspicious of something...his chiseled chin is tingling.

185 - Angry Man

This man is ticked off at something, maybe because I havent updated the blog for so long. Sorry Angry Man!

184 - Hulk

Incredible Hulk Smash! Quick, small sketch during lunch break.

183 - Buzz Lightyear


Exaggerating Buzz Lightyear and messing about with his design with the launch of Toy Story. Sorry Pixar.

182 - Woody


Inspired by some new Toy Story 3 toys sitting on my desk, here is Woody in a different style.
