#159 More Backlog

So, a while ago I posted about an iPhone app I was working on.

Turns out it is probably not going to happen.

Soooo, I gif'ed what I had so people could see the graphics:

It seems to be having some trouble loading at a smaller size,
if it is doing weird stuff, make it full size and it should work fine.

Would have been a zombie whack a mole game,
rules would have been zombies are one point,
ghosts are two points, groundhogs are negative one,
and smacking the reaper ends your game.
Also, as you progressed levels, each one would have more
holes for them to come out of, with the final level having four or five.

Anyways, enjoy!

#158 Halloween Backlog

Hey all.

Got some Halloween stuff I never got to posting:

 Costume this year. It's a cardboard cut-out of my face.

What? I only had an hour to make a costume. Leave me alone.

 Abe Sapien Pumpkin this year.

Abey-baby. 

Mine from last year, Hellboy, and my gf's Boogie Man from NMBC.

Yerp, oldies.

#157 Holiday Gift Exchange

'Tis the time for holiday cheer again!

This time last year I made an elephant drawing for this
art history gift exchange.

This year I made a tree topper for the librarian for the visual resources
library; she loves Harry Potter and LOTR.

So I made an Eye of Sauron Tree Topper:

in progress

in situ 

close up at home when i finished it. 

in situ, again.

I was surprised to find that no one had done this yet, 

according to a google image search.

Also, I thought about working the Foucaultian Panopticon in somehow,
but overlapping the North Star, the Eye of Sauron,
and Santa seemed enough cultural layering.

Hope y'all liked this.

Happy Holidays!

#142 Texnologeez

Woot! I haven't been posting,

but that doesn't mean I haven't been busy!

A girl in my program's dad makes iphone/ipad apps for fun,

and he wanted better graphics so I offered my services.

Here is a preview of a game we are working on:

Swoop! More to come!

#140 Belated Halloween

Hey Friends.

I realized I never made a Halloween post this year.

So this past Halloween I was St. Stephen.

St. Stephen was stoned to death, and sometimes he is represented

as a haloed saint with a bloody stone imbedded into his forehead.

Like so:

Also, this past Halloween we carved extra small, extra hard pumpkins.

They had a hardened shell layer that I used woodcut tools to get through.

Mine is the Hellboy on the left,

and my gf did the boogieman on the right.

#135 It's Jesus's Birthday

Its Jesus's Birthday.

Honor him by voting for my brother, Ken,

in this nativity scene action figure contest.

Ken's is pretty obviously the best nativity scene.

I mean, Jesus is a facehugger hatching from an egg,

and the magi are all robots with pretty awesome gifts.

Right now, first place is an awful snoopy nativity. AWFUL.

Don't let this injustice stand, vote here.

You don't need to register and you can vote once per browser.

Voting ends tonight.

UPDATE: Ken won.

They sent him a Luke Cage/ Powerman double pack.

Swoop!

#131 Christmas Gift / Elephant Part Two

Did an elephant drawing for a white elephant gift exchange.

Drawn after Jan Mollijn's woodcut.

From the little elephant in the top left corner.

Kind of an Animalia supplement.

Here is the original elephant post.

#11 Halloween

I forgot to post these around Halloween.

Mignola's Batman Jack-O-Lantern and our Costumes.

Probably not the best use of McClain's tools.
