Fooly Cooly Color Practice

just some more color practice on some old stuff..

"Peace of Mind"

Just another typical day in the life of Naota. Nothing extraordinary... (FOOLY COOLY... weird/great show)

"Pirate-Ninja"

the pirate ninja, the middle entity of what some may call a 'holy' war between pirates and ninjas set in place before the beginning of time to keep all creation in balance.. symbol of ultimate and bitter hate and apocalyptic foreshadowing.. or sweet and sour love. depends on which side you don't take.

"Chaos"

yep.. just trying to find some different rythmn to add to life by breaking out of the 'routine' habits you create from repeating things over, and over, and over... like drawing, music, fighting, or whatever it is that you do. everything shares the same elements when you really break something down far enough.

March 8th, actually

yeah... so this one time? i made a double post? and since i don't know how to delete posts? i thought i'd just use it for my next one.

here's some of my most recent pencil stuff, from my "blue" sketchbook. seriously though, it's blue. and serious. i try and get the same bound sketchbook - different color, every time i start a new one... for more "finished" looking drawings that need a home. i have thought about keeping a folder with computer paper in it, but then i realized that's what i did at school until i got a serious sketchbook to pack around (inspiration to carry one around came from the scottish/guatemalan drawing Don Lopez beast. he had one, so why not me?? i refer to this time period in my life as the "red" sketchbook saga. sometimes.) i don't think Don is as motivated to draw as he was during the red saga.... i dunno. it just seems that he doesn't push as deep as he use to.. but i hope i'm wrong, and he's still got a sketchbook. maybe a red one.

anyways... here are those pictures i was talking about a paragraph ago..

so - this is ridiculously top secret fan art of a dream. i wish i was the owner of it, because this dream has an intricate plot that is still progressing. and it's deep. i'd love to talk more about it... but i can't, really. this is what i imagine as the cover to volume 1... if it were a comic book...already. heh.




fan art to... Fooly Cooly. this show is crazy. i like to think i understand it pretty well, but i'm probably drawing my own conclusions to all the meaning inside it half the time - either way, the dots get connected somehow upstairs, and i like it. i had some really good ideas about how to go about drawing this more than halfway into, and so i kept going. hopefully those ideas don't collect too much dust until i forget about 'em.

and since i like posting in 3's for some reason. here's another picture to even things out.these guys were done about.... 2 and 1/2 years ago. it's interesting to look at new and old stuff side by side.... anyways, here we've got a classic RPG battle, against all odds - i'm sure they have some small part in saving the world too.

later.
