#149 The Oarfish

Animalia: Day 112

The Oarfish

This one took a long time and I'm not real happy with it.

Trying to figure out shadows.

Mignola has 'em down.

O WELLZ.

At least some animullz is gettin drawn.

Tomorrow (whenever that is) : the Octopus.

#148 For Maurice Sendak

Always liked Where the Wild Things Are.

Here's one for Maurice.

#147 Guest Artist Jaime Raybin Draws the Okapi!

Animalia: Guest Artist!
Jaime Raybin - the Okapi

Jaime Raybin is an artist living and working in Nashville, TN.

Her commentary for this image is as follows:

"it lives in a bathroom."

So yeah, now you know all you need to know about Okapis.

Jaime's forte is actually dinosaurs, but this fantastic little painting

shows a range that extends to stripy legged HQs in carpeted bathrooms.

Check out her work!

#146 Creator Owned Day Part Two!

This is a continuation of yesterday's post about Creator Owned Day.

I finished the drawing yesterday,

but I wanted to flesh out the idea a little more,

and today's post is the product:

Drawing.

Some sketches.

The Final Outcome!

Inspiration is taken from Tales of the Unexpected

and some Mexican Pulp art, both via Monsterbrains.

Anyways, hope you like it!

#145 Creator Owned Day

I'm a little late but March 1st is Creator Owned Day.

So I did a sketch of a character,

which I will post a preview of,

and then fully finish it later this week.

Here is a sneak peek at Capt. Rick Dangercomet,

or something like that.

Still thinking of cheezy bad names for a space ranger type character.

#144 Relief Monsterrrr

Busting out some older stuff to keep posts regular.

Here's a little relief clay monster I made while I was home last year:

Glazes were limited to white, tan, brown, beige, gold, and a green,

so coloring got a little weird.

I had never done anything in relief before,

so I was thinking about the Gates of Paradise

(and the North Doors too, I actually like them more).

#143 Johnny Cash

Hey kids.

This past week I did a frame for the Johnny Cash Project.

Nick did one last year and someone reminded me that I wanted to do one too.

Before and after below:

That is the brush pointer on his ear.

For some reason, the aspect ratio of the image

changed between the two screenshots...

Anyways, you can see how the frame was drawn here.

Aight, later homies.

#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!

#141 Belated Groundhog Day!

GROUNDHOG DAYYYYY!!!

I already posted the Animalia for groundhog here, but in honor of GH day

I went back and colored it.

I personally like it better b/w, but maybe you won't!

And here again is the original b/w.
