046 - Mr. Bobinski

One of the crazy neighbors from Coraline. Saw the movie this past Friday and really enjoyed it. The style and animation was amazing, and in this age of CG animation, it's really refreshing to see that there are people out there that are dedicated to other forms of animation, and making it look just as good. The amount of work that must have went into this movie boggles the mind, and it shows.
Anyway, if you haven't seen it yet, definitely go check it out, it's fun and creepy!

043 - Cloud Yetis live at 20,000 Feet

He just wanted a ride, that's all! That panel was coming off anyway.

Watched the Nightmare at 20,000 Feet episode of Twilight Zone today. Good for it's time I'm sure, but man is that monster just goofy looking. A big fluffy Snuggle bear with a perm isn't really the epitome of fear these days. But hey, I'm sure it made em scream back then.

Thanks for stoppin'!

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'!

027 - Gambit

Blah, Gambit deserves a better representation than this... Hah oh well, it's getting late.

Gambit of X-Men fame. He's gonna be in the upcoming Wolverine movie. We'll see how that goes... One of my favorite mutants, he better live up to my expectations!

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'!

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'!

015 - Desperaux

So my girlfriend Kate and I went to see Tale of Desperaux today. Overall it was a so so film. Beautiful style and animation, but sub-par everything else. The characters were interesting, but the narrative was very uneven and you ended up not really understanding or caring most of the time. However I will say that it made me want to read the book, as the books are most often much better than the films.

And I say again, it was a beautiful movie to look at. So, I drew little Desperaux.

Till next time, thanks for stoppin'!

007 - Creature

Hah, ok long story short: Work + getting ready to move + relatives up from out of state + plus girlfriend over for dinner + WiiSports = only enough time for shitty attempt at something new. I guess posting something every day, you're gonna have to expect quite a few duds here and there...

Yeah, I wanted to try something more loose and textured today, but with no time this is what we get. Not creepy or menacing in the slightest. But yay for new attempts, right? I'll try and come back to this when I have more time to devote to it. Hows about a more finished piece to brighten the post?


Much better.

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!
