Garbage...

This was going to be Hellboy VS The Count for the weekly sketchgroup at PencilJack, but I have such a hard time drawing Hellboy I decided to put the kibosh on it. He's such a simple character in concept, and in Mignola's execution, but I have a hell of a time figuring out the perspective on his horns and right hand. Should have planned this one out better, but what are you going to do? I'm going to quit, that's what I'm going to do!

Tiger Up Yer Butt!

When I set out to do this, my mantra was "simple, cartoony", but as it went along, I added more detail, and now it's become "awkward, weird." That's cool baby, the T-Man rolls with the punches. I did play around with some new coloring techniques, so it's not a total wash. I used Adobe Illustrator's Live Paint for the first time, and I worked light to dark rather than dark to light. If I had any confidence in myself to follow through with it, I'd say maybe this was the beginning of a series of Street Fighter characters. Since I know myself better than most, I say this very well might be my last post ever.




This was an experiment I did while I was fucking around with ways to manipulate photos in Illustrator. It kind of looks like shit, but I learned a lot of stuff. Primarily that Suzy's dad looks pretty awesome in shutter shades.



Click on those sumbitches to biggerize them. You all know this by now, right? I get paranoid sometimes that my resized, pixelated images will be mistaken for the final product. I mean, they'll look like ass either way, but I want to ensure you're looking at the RIGHT ass. I want you to look at MY ass, the way God and I intended it.

Goofin' around...

Heads: 2, Bodies: 0

I snuck in a sketch while someone was surfing the web.

Shit yeah

Just some quick drawrin' practice
from photo ref.

Odd's 'N' Ends...

Random stuff I had laying about from the last week. The first was going to be Sabretooth and X23 for the weekly sketch group at Pencil Jack, but I wasn't feeling it and bailed.


This is a logo/t-shirt design for Chance's ultimate frisbee team. I didn't do much on this aside from tighten up and extrapolate a bit from his original sketch (which can be found below this).

I'm still hoping to find the time to pick up a pencil over the summer, but fate seems to be conspiring against me on that. Just today I was already to go, and then our work computers all had to be hauled off for some kind of repair/upgrade. I'm writing this on a laptop. Next week, god dammit!

Pike Cpt.

I started doodling, and when I stopped
there was a pikeman on the screen.

Coked up

A quick sketch I did while watching Kingdom of Heaven. It was hard to take my eyes off that Orlando Bloom, he so dreamy.

Monochrome in the Dark

I totally drew all of this in just one day...

EXPLOSION OF PRODUCTIVITY !!!

(click to big ups)

I wish. Actually, this is all the scraps I had floating around on my clipboard. Some of it from a week ago, some from a few months ago, some from the dawn of creation (that brown paper bag puppet that looks like a bear is a figure study of God himself). I really hope to have some time to pick up the pencil again over the summer.

Tetsuooooooh yeah!

I drew something. IN 2009! I win.


More in 6-8 months. Maybe.

I'd animate this If I weren't so hungry now.

Sometimes I forgot how awesome I am, then I draw a little picture to remind me.

Sick

Here's the story. I was sick in bed most of the day and, after deciding the dustiness of my room was not helping me at all, did some cleaning this afternoon. I ran across this piece of paper with a freaky drawing on it, clearly made by me, but that I had no recollection of doing. Next to it were the words "fetal traveler" My scanner is jacked, but I tried to re-capture the spirit of it. I don't really think i succeeded though.

The Khmer Rouge learned two things that night:
1) Snowmen hold machetes and grudges fiercely.
2) There have been stunning advancements in portable refrigeration technology.

A simple man we call Kris

My imaginary son once asked me "Daddy is Santa Claus real?" So I sat him down and told him the truth. I said, "Son, Santa Claus was real once, but that man died in Cambodia in 1970. Today, the only ones putting gifts under the tree are your mom and I." If you're reading this Kris... stay strong buddy.

Quick update to a previous post. This is the finished design I went with for our work blog. I kept the same basic layout as the old one, which is here if anyone missed it and cares. The bear is pretty lame (though a bear was specifically requested...for some reason), but I ended up liking his presence as it gave me something to fuck around with on holidays and stuff. This is what I put in place on Halloween, for example. I'm working on a Thanksgiving one at the moment, but I fear I may not have allowed enough room at the top for his ridiculous pilgrim hat. Fucking pilgrims, did they contribute anything to the world except for giving John Wayne an awesome catch phrase? Probably not, but I'm not good at history.

Thanks for your help on the last post, Ryan.
