SKETCH THEATER AKUMA
Thought I’d post some sketches from NYCC and came across this one from San Diego Comicon instead.

This sketch was a gift to a very sweet girl Tori Davis and her boyfriend Laurent, keep up the [...]
LI-NING BASKETBALL – YI & KUANG
Here’s two pieces I did for Li-Ning’s Basketball campaign. Li-Ning is the current leader in sports apparel in China who also endorses the NBA’s Baron Davis, Evan Turner, Shaq & Damon Jones.

BLAZBLUE – Continuum Shift BOX
Here’s a piece I did late summer/fall for the release of BLAZBLUE Continuum Shift, my apologies as I finally got around to posting this now! This was used as the box-art of the game for European release, including all of the bleed and trim. The final box-art was severely cropped from this version you see [...]
ESPN RISE MAGAZINE – ON THE STANDS NOW!
Had a cool project over the holidays, which was to turn 4 athletes into superheroes including a jam cover page for ESPN RISE Magazine! This hit the stands in Febuary, so if you’ve got the chance you should definitely cop one! They were supercool to work with as they gave me all the creative freedom [...]
MARVEL vs CAPCOM 3 POSTER/SPECIAL EDITION STEELBOOK
Here’s the poster I recently finished for the Capcom booth at NY Comicon and also the Limited Edition Steelbook MVC3 for the PS3 & XBOX360 ! I’ve been getting several requests to post this piece and Udon has kindly forwarded this to me so I’m assuming it’s okay to post now…Fitting all of these characters [...]

A new website was released in conjunction called LEGIONofOAKLEY.com which will walk you through the entire user experience.This is a first of a series of pieces which [...]

SUPERGIRL CONCEPTS – SAMANTHA MARQ
Here are some music video concepts for Samantha Marq and her new single, SUPERGIRL produced by KO the legend featuring Jessie Payo!
Just so that there isn’t any confusion here; these have no relation to DC comic’s Supergirl, it’s just the name of the single.
Check the track
If you like the track, you can follow them on [...]

ALVINLEEART.COM DIGITAL COLOR CHALLENGE WINNER! – FABIAN “MONK” SCHLAGA
As some of you already know here’s the winner of the DIGITAL COLOR CHALLENGE done by the very talented, Fabian “Monk” Schlaga of Germany! Thank you all for all of your wonderful submissions, needless to say this coloring challenge was a complete success!
AVENGERS – STYLE TEST
Sneak peak at the “new” style I’ve been working on. This is currently being colored by my good friend and ultra talented painter, Doe. Tried to keep my faces looking like my usual style with a bit of a twist. Hair and facial features were more rendered, blacks were done with heavy hatching, pencils were completely eliminated by going straight to ink with *gasp* a ball point pen! Hopefully the end result is something a little more raw, with a little more energy and realism [...]
CHIU-STREAM FIGHTING GAME CHARACTER CONCEPT!
CHIU-STREAM was kind enough to have me on the show for an in-depth interview last week and in case you missed it the sketch challenge for all the viewers was to, “Create your own Fighting Game Character!” You can still catch my full interview on Youtube. This was a welcome challenge for me as I have many ideas for characters for my own vision of SF Universe [...]
WHITE QUEEN & THE PHOENIX
This was a custom commission piece I had taken from my online store of the two sexy ladies of X-men, Emma Frost as White Queen and Jean Grey as The Phoenix! Tried to do something different with both the composition and the gestures. Didn’t want a prototypical super-heroine feel to this, rather a more sensual depiction of our characters.
STREET FIGHTER TRIBUTE
Here is my contribution to Udon’s trade paperback Street Fighter Tribute! It’s still in the process of being colored by myself (for the second time) and hopefully it will be completed by this summer’s convention season, where i will be selling prints of this! Let me just say, it hasn’t been easy!
NEW WORLD ARMY
I’ve been working on this concept for seemingly forever! It’s my, “baby” so to speak, my own personal property that I hope to further develop in the future and eventually release as a trade paperback. It’s called, New World Army and it takes place in a post-apocalyptic Earth where different tribes fight for survival and territory. Colors by Arnold Tsang.
SFII 0 DOUBLE SPLASH
I completed this several years ago as a cover for the relaunch of the Street Fighter 2 series. Since then it has been repeatedly reproduced as posters being sold nationwide. Probably one of the pieces I am most proud of during my career!
SFI 3 COVER
Here’s another oldie but goodie. I know i promised nothing but fresh foods but this one still makes me tingle. It’s my first ever Street Fighter Cover! It’s the Cover to issue 3 of the first story-arc that i did with DOE way back in 2002 or something like that. Brings back memories!
SFII 6 COVER (GOOD VS. EVIL)
Here was my final Cover to the SFII series! It’s really not the most awesome layout ever, but it’s definitely cooler seeing this together as one. It was split in the middle, illustrating Ryu’s Dark Hadu side of himself and his constant internal struggles with good and evil.
Pencils and Inks by me, Colors by Espen.
CALGARY COWGIRL
This was an exclusive piece done for Calgary Entertainment Expo. The orginal image was auctioned for charity and it was pretty fun to draw something that I normally wouldn’t. Once again, DOE did an awesome job colooring this. He’s a mad man!
