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!!"

will continue to show blogger some love though. i mean, blogger's had my back since 2008.

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.

more stuff

done for another random drawing contest.. kind of thought the judging was a little ridiculous, not just because i didn't make the semi-finals, but other cool kids didn't either. whatever - still had lots of fun doing this!


a doodle. i've never considered myself very strong at "sketching" for lots of personal reasons... but DOODLING is insanely fun, and somehow "works" for me. doodling vs. sketching.... is there really a difference? maybe doodling is like super slow-motion sketching.. i dunno.


so... LOTS of stuff piling up that i wanna play with in photoshop.. don't know when i'll get around to it, so this is just a mini sketch dump of some of that stuff.


finally got some of my figure drawing class stuff on the computer. all of these are self-portraits except the last one.


other noteworthy stuff... kind of:
-went to a pretzel making party. apparently some people are really into pretzel making? i'm really into eating freshly baked goods such as pretzels, so that was a relief.
-cant stop listening to an AWESOME Michael Jackson remix by Beatnick & K-Salaam
-had 3 songs on repeat CONSTANTLY, even at work... i guess i was in a weird mood or something and it just seemed to help. finally snapped out of it after about day 5.
-aaaaaaaaaand... yeah.
the end.

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!

Under the Sea

where it is wetter, where it is better. . . under the sea? well... i guess that depends on how far "under" the sea sebastien was talking about. also, he does a diservice to all his crab-kin for using "under" in such a very ambiguous way just to further his agenda in making us think how great his natural habitat is. i'm sure there are other crabs out there with better intentions, and equipped with a better ability to employ words, such as "under."

colored a doodle last night that's been sitting on the front of one of my notebooks for a while now. just trying weird stuff, and getting better.



also colored this. originally done for a mission friend. very cool kid.
i ended up combining two lens flairs in this one.. crazy, eh?


by the way, here's an awesome song about not being able to surf--> i can't surf.
