042 - Mario Group (Colored)

Haven't seen this one in a while, huh? Well it's colored... but to be honest, my love for this has fallen. I'm happy with it and all, but it just didn't flow and come together quite like the Bowser one. Guess it's all in timing.

Anyway, this is probably the last you'll see of this. Enjoy!

Thanks for stoppin'!

036 - Jay-Red

More nerd fueled poke-nonsense. Nostalgia is a powerful drug. Jared joined in the fun with his Trainer... so now with little else to inspire I did a rendition of it. I was hoping to do a battle or something exciting, but time went on and I grew more tired.. so maybe next time.

Thanks for stoppin'!

035 - Smoker Portrait

As fun as it is to try new things and expand on abilities.... sometimes I think I should just stick to what I'm good at XD

Anyway, this is a smoker from the game Left 4 Dead. Looks like he's puking, but that's his tongue which he uses to ensnare human survivors. Good fun.

Till next time, thanks for stoppin'!

033 - Pokemon Trainer

Joe, aka Mechanical Pumpkin, tells me he drew himself a badass pokemon trainer and I had to do the same. So here we are. I guess he's sort of based on me, but not really a self-portrait. I see him as some sort of wandering adventurer, living off the land and exploring it's every mystery. As for his pokemon, not really a team I would use, I just hand picked a few I'm fond of for various reasons. I originally was only gonna do Hypno (the yellow one to the left of the trainer) but it kind of snowballed.

Anyway, needs a background and some shading... maybe I'll pull it back up later in the week and work on that.

Thanks for stoppin'!

025 - Sunday Updates

So Jared followed suit in drawing himself all Castle Crasher'd up(check it here). He reminded me I forgot the Animal Orb, so here he is. My animal orb would be a sloth named Mossy, who would latch onto enemies and slow them down.
So yeah, if you have a 360 and haven't tried Castle Crashers, what are you waiting for? Grab some friends and play it, foo.


My second update is on the bookmark from a few posts ago. Just some finishing touches, some shading and background details.

So that's Sunday. Pleasant Monday to you all, thanks for stoppin'!

024 - Dan, Castle Crashers Style

Jared and I have been playing Castle Crashers a bit lately. It has a fun style and great animation, and I thought it would be fun to draw myself as a character in the game. My weapon would be a deliciously dangerous roll of cookie dough and I would wield the power of sketchy magic.

I know what you're thinking... cookie dough wouldn't be a very effective weapon. No, probably not. But it would be delicious!

Thanks for stoppin!

016 - Mario Tat Progress 4

Just more progress on the group pic today. I waited entirely too late to post this, and wish I had more. We shall see what inspiration strikes tomorrow!

Till then...thanks for stoppin'!

014 - Mario Group Tat Progress 3

Getting the final lines started. I decided Peach still wasn't meshing with the group and am overhauling her again. Yay iterations! This one should be fun in color, keep an eye out for that.

And with that, back to gamin'! Shesh, I am terrible XP

013 - Distractions

Boy do I need a scanner... Hah, so I made the "decision" to buy an Xbox 360 yesterday, and my little project here is already paying for it. The awe of new and fun things will fade soon, I assure you, so hold tight! XD

But hey, on the off chance that you the viewer has a 360 as well, add me to your friends, my Gamertag is SavageHobbit.

Back to the real stuff tomorrow, promise! Thanks for stoppin'

005 - Mario Crew Tattoo (In Progress 2)

OK, finally got Peach to a happy place. So now to just add the items and finalize. I'm almost afraid adding some power-up items might crowd it up too much... just gonna have to try some stuff out..

Till next time!

003 - Olimar Commands

So it's only the third day and I'm already having to make exceptions. This is a piece I actually did a few months back, just never posted it anywhere. I'm posting it tonite because I had to work overtime today at work, and I'm afraid I won't be able to make any postable progress on current drawings. I was afraid work might get in the way... but things should be slowing down since the holiday has ended, today was seemingly a fluke.

In case you're wondering, I am still working on the Mario tattoo from yesterday, but I would rather wait until it's in a more progressed state before I post it again.

Anywho, If you haven't played Pikmin and own a Wii, you're in luck, cause Nintendo is re-releasing the first game on the Wii, complete with waggle-rific controls. It's a fun, challenging, and unique game. I'm not gonna go on a pitch or review or anything, just pointing it out XD

002 - Mario Crew Tattoo (In Progress)

So posting a clean, finished piece everyday is a goal I know I won't reach here, but trust that if I post sketches, they are of quality and are signs of things to come.

A while back I did a fan piece of Bowser and his army of minions (check it here) as a tattoo for a more dedicated fan than myself. Well not long ago someone asked if I could do a companion piece with the Good Guys. Being an avid gamer and classic Nintendo fan, I couldn't refuse.

So here's the very basic start. I want to try and keep the same composition, but I'm finding that the number of noteable baddies far outweighs that of noteable goodies. I want to try to stay away from newer, spin-off characters... So I think I'll be filling the space with some classic items.

Keep an eye open for progress!
