to be a robot in love.

i drew this on the bus on my way to work tonight.
the mid-ohio con is right around the corner, and ronald and i are locked in for this year's s.p.a.c.e. con.
now i just need to wrestle myself off the futon and to my drawing table more often.

art powers, activate!

BLAWWWRG...ing

Major Details could be seen as filler for this blog, seeing as I haven't made my presence known in a while. I'm still up to my old tricks and wizardry, except I haven't been willing to reveal the experiments. Truth be told I've been heavily studying realism in art. Heaven and Fates forbid I become a realist but, I have found myself in need of a realists touch.

I recall I still have a few projects to finish here before I dare post anything new, that is except finished pieces like my good friend nathan. Today's post is an oldy but, a goody. From one of my favorite games of all time I give you...

the stylish hurdle.

style is the monster that gives with one hand and beats you raw with the other.
i need to find the right style for a collaboration, so i whipped these up to help guide me in the right direction.
i thought it was interesting as a bit in and of itself.
anyone want to vote for a favorite?

i wish i had no bones.

oops!
i haven't updated in a while.
i didn't forget about you, my neglected little blogorino.
things have just been in a bit of an uproar this past month or so.
i (foolishly) agreed to work something to the tune of 60 hours of overtime over a three week period, it's left me with little time off. and what scraps of sand flitting thought the hour glass i could manage i tried to give to my darling sarah, who has just departed for her final year in new york.

i'm looking forward to this weekend more than i care to admit, but even that hollow victory sends me to an empty house.
unless you count all the cats.
which i don't.
because they smell funny.

i'm on fire.

i can't seem to stop drawing lumpy faces.

more bus sketches.

got some more bus doodles for this update.
i've gotta practice drawing female characters.
also, i've gotta practice drawing male characters.

static shock.

i really need to get back into the swing with flash.
i've been distracted of late and haven't kept up my tinkering, but how will i ever learn if i don't keep me nose in it?
exactly!

so i thought i would doodle up some cartoony heads.
for those of you following this blog (mom), i mentioned forever ago that i had done a little wolverine animation and that the file was just a bit larger than 'great expectations.' i used imported gif files, since gifs don't have backgrounds (jpgs and the like all came with that white box around them).
for this round i want to get things ready to go in illustrator and them import them to flash.
i have a coworker who knows flash a lot better than i do, and he thinks i'm a bit mad for doing the two fisted two program approach.
i'm inclined to believe him.
but i don't have the hang of drawing in flash yet...



^i drew this guy first.



^this i drew this guy to be his polar opposite.

i don't have a real good story idea yet.
i was thinking that the smiles guy is in a remake of a movie that grumpy was in decades ago. or some such thing.

we've got a thing for creatures of myth.

i was too busy having fun to draw much today!
but i did sketch this emotional or punkish minotaur.

Posting time!? Hell yes!
When I first began posting I was adamant about only posting certain images up. I have to amend that now because while I choose to draw something every night I use to think those images were un postable. This process seems to slow things down andget me side tracked, but, no longer.

With that said here are my latest posts. These are both still in the process of being finished but, both are now much closer to the end.
Nearly done here, just need to give Rush his personality and add some sweet lights and effects. For this one ... a background too. I'm excited about seeingthis one done. I have Udon plans for this one.

sketch to paint, andmore to come.

mario is a stud.

in the land of toads it's no wonder mario is king.
