Illustration Friday: Satellite

A love triangle in space. Two satellites in love with the same planetoid. Star crossed lovers.



Also i missed last week's topic which was Paisley. I found this challenging!

Illustration Friday: Ripple

Fiddler crab VS. Oil Schmuck!

Oil stands no chance against that big ole claw.

Late Illustration Friday for 6/11: Trail

Internet was down and didn't get to post.

When I thought of the theme i thought of Bilbo Baggins from my favorite book The Hobbit.

Not too happy with this one, but I'm keeping it up. Will have to do Bilbo and Tolkien justice next time.

Illustration Friday: Slither

Not all things that slither are villainous.

Lots of mistakes all about but overall I'm happy I tried to push both the narrative and composition and I think it sort of works.

Need to use more time to work on these in general.

Also cleaned my palette this time around and used my winsor & newton brushes instead of my quick travel brushes.

What do you think?

Illustration Friday: Early

The early bird catches the worm...or a beating by the worm's older brother who likes to wear sleeveless turtleneck sweaters.

The original quote was:

“No man goes before his time, unless the boss leaves early.” ~ Groucho Marx

Illustration Friday: Equipment

Took me 3 tries before I made something I liked. BAH! Ever have that problem?!? Frustrating as hell. But kept pushing and was happy with this!

Based on mah buddy.

"People like to imagine that because all our mechanical equipment moves so much faster, that we are thinking faster, too."

Sketchcrawl 2010 # 2

Here's a sketch from the second sketchcrawl of this year. This was at the Harlem meer in Central Park.

I did ONE sketch. How lame.

Maybe I'll do more sketchcrawling today.

Illustration Friday: Fearless

YES! A day early!

I was going to give this to my mom for mothers day but I'm a lazy git.

Quote:

“The fearless are merely fearless. People who act in spite of their fear are truly brave.” ~unknown

Illustration Friday: Cocoon

A.K.A. Man Child...in his cocoon of geekiness. Don't worry he'll emerge a beautiful butterfly!

But I think the chosen quote sums it up better (I also kind of twisted the cocoon part of the quote around...oh vell!)

A child-like man is not a man whose development has been arrested; on the contrary, he is a man who has given himself a chance of continuing to develop long after most adults have muffled themselves in the cocoon of middle-aged habit and convention. ~ Aldous Huxley

Illustration Friday: Ahead

YAY! I made something for Illustration Friday for the first time!

Don't know why I didn't join this sooner. It's awesome and actually has me doing stuff. Lots of fun stuff on their site.

Quote for this theme:

What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us. ~Henry David Thoreau

Title card doodle

Working on an animated title card for my reel. Some quick thumbs.

Big Head Comic # 1

What the Ffff # 73: CatManDoo!

What the Ffff #73 is actually...

Catmandoo!

Champion wrestler and mediocre Elvis impersonator.

He is both Cat and Man...with one fierce doo!

Knowing well his hatred of cats his arch rival Shamaniac (2 time champion; though both outcomes were protested,) sprinkled magical dandruff reducing dusty stuff on his head....turning his head...and other undisclosed parts of his body...into a Cat!

"I haaaaaaaaaate cats....rather be a hound dog baby." says Catmandoo.

Shamaniacs treachery backfired, because this man cat is on the prowl and has nabbed himself the championship belt!

"Hail to the cat baby!"

For Funsies

Fresh wares for the collecting!

What the Ffff # 72

Luigi

I guess I'm on a Nintendo trip. This was a shape drawing. Trying to do that more often. Though....I should be doing it all the time...trouble is that it's not second nature for me sometimes.

How does he do it?

Link....ah Link. How the hell are you carrying around so much crap on your adventure? Maybe it's cause you're an elf. And elves have magical pockets?

Ah hell I don't know.
