Satellite Soda DUMP

so.  there was this daily draw party going on over at satellite soda i thought i'd get in on.. tried pushing more story in (most of) my stuff to add more substance to the sketches.

for the last day, i tried to cram as many characters i came up with during the month as possible onto one page.  after doing a head count, still missing 26 (minus crowds).. haha.  definitely hope to bring some of these guys and their stories to life some day :]

 here are the rest, in no particular order. 

 "GOJIRA!!"

 mech with dragon gun. (dragun??...)

 LET'S DO THIS!!

 pbnj

 NES trucker. custom steering wheel - A to accelerate, B for brakes

 arachnoroceros

 i picture space pirates as like, these really annoying "party dudes" that run in and nab all the normal pirates hard-earned plunder. they can't stand 'em.

 ascension

 inspired by the custom lego starwars characters created by me and my wife (for the record, my guy is darth pinkerton)

 fresh coat of paint

 game idea.  beat a skater, get their deck/sword/power. mega man style.

 mail angel

 quick sci-fi doodle chick

set a course for robot-pirate island.  i'm looking at you, spongebob.

 ratagast.. brother of radagast, the brown. (that one wizard in that movie about the hairy kid and a ring)

skull boss.  should be in a game like final fight or something.

tengu warriors

 FREEZE!! Star POLICE.

 the only way

 the wand chooses you

 "This Beard is bigger than BOTH OF US!!"

 water wings mech. easily navigates both terrestrial and aquatic environments

oh, and what would a blog post be without sharing some MUSIC??? not consistent. that's what.
do your ears a favor, and check out Thomas Prime's most recent LP.

Stained for Life...

before i get to the gross stuff - have some pictures!

made a promise to myself to doing at least 2 Earthbound pictures this year - finally knocked out number 2! sort of a companion piece to this one.


finally got around to finishing one of the many drawings that came out of my Lord of the Rings marathon about a year ago... !
i thought it'd be cool to write my name out using some runes - as it turns out, in real life there are LOOOOTS of different kinds of runes - luckily Tolkien made up his own, so there aren't as many - and i found this cool runic translator thing. check it out.
from all the unnecesarry nerd-like research i did last night, it seems pretty legit.
sometimes i wish i was nerd-core enough that i knew the runic alphabet, but i usually try and keep my contact between hobbits, dwarfs, and other races that don't exist in real life to a minimum.


kay. time for some nasty pictures.. not that nasty, really. but about 4 months ago (jul. 18, 2009) a day that will live in infamy - i was a victim of a drive-by shooting, à la paintball. only one hit me, but it was my drawing hand covering my face..

"day 1"

kept oozing blood, wasn't sure what was paint, what was blood, or if paint had been injected into deeper surfaces of my body...

"day 2"this one's a few days later, i think.


"when the scab came off.. WEEKS later"

AAAAND here's the best part.
"4 MONTHS later"

so far it's looking like i'm stained for life.. cool huh.
victimized and marked by the act of stupidity.
could be worse.

i think what got to me the most was the shooters (most likely) didn't even know who i was.
i guess the real lesson here is hatred, pride, stupidity and things like that are always out there to mess with you - not caring who you are, and the more you become possessed by these things, the less likely you'll care about other people too.

megaman badguy desgin: "splashman"

random desgins to make figure drawing homework more exciting.
top - city janitor team, complete with mr. clean belt buckles. bottom - construction doods

i call him.... FAT FACE.

based off my thought that we should have statues, that don't even have to be about real people, but have cool plaques with descriptions about how they helped save the world from evil, etc. the best way to make a statue more cool is to give it a big weapon. i should make statues for a living to improve the culture of the community.

my right hand.

more right hands, finally tried a more cel-shady look i'll be doing more of.

apes.
