Dragonballs and Vikings

dragonball self-portrait. because flying nimbus is rad. and akira toriyama changed my life.  :]
finally got around to finishing this one - started it up 11/29/2011.  process in gif format this time instead - any process junkies out there have any opinion on gifs vs multiple still images they can flip back and forth from???  still can decide what i like better...  i'd rather just have people give me their psd files so i can dissect em myself ;)

oh.  also another one real quick i forgot to put up on blogger.  enter: Parasite Viking!

this started out as a drawing game 2 years ago  (where you just take turns drawing one thing onto a silhouette) between me and my wife (back when she was in girlfriend form.)
to try and keep up with the tradition of the first christmas present i gave her, i thought i’d paint this…   also finally got around to finishing it :]


later!

streets with no names, and 2 year old men

so. i got into the BFA. very cool - HOWEVER. something cooler - one of my favorite pictures from highschool!! found after sifting through some old crap i dumped out to make room in my big black portfolio thing. i drew this during... "tech lab" i think. about 5 1/2 years ago. i was so bored/apathetic the whole period, i had to get it out of my system - and here we are. since i liked it so much, i thought it deserved a little bit of a face lift. here's the original. sort of a self-portrait - i used to have THE coolest red owen's corning plumbing jacket. and some well made grey pants. both now are broken and don't work anymore, sadly.


also, this cool person that draws invited everybody to join in on a little drawing game. me and my brothers ALWAYS used to do something very similar to this - i don't know how it started, but the end goal was to make the guy look as ugly and gross as possible. still fun to this day. anyways, i joined in on this guy's game - it had been QUITE a while since i'd done any ode to dragonball, so i figure i was due.



also, i found another treasure while cleaning out the portfolio - a 2 year old man!! i don't do stuff like this enough. freshman year at BYU, our apartment received some weird magazine, and so i decided to make use of it.


also, i have a job interview in about 12 hours. very cool.
hope you all wake up nicely today. goodnight!

MAJIN MARIO, the RED KAMEHAMEHA

so - exactly a year later, i'm re-doing the colors on THIS. i figure if Mario's gonna be flingin' around some hardcore fire power, he might as well be sporting the traditional red/white ensemble.

nintendo + dragon ball z = YES
