I've been doing a lot of female sketches ,as of late, for a personal project or at least that's the excuse I use as I'm constantly drawing half neck'ed women. So here's another vixen to add to the mix. bye!
I was checking out the Beatles Rockband trailer and completely flipped my shiz. Robert Valley is inEFFINGcredible, so naturally I felt compelled to rock out a sketch. Later Days.
The rarely seen Ninjirate (aka Piratinja) is a deadly assassin trained in the arts of ninjitsu and sculduggery. Although his stealth attacks are hampered by his loud peg-leg foot falls and terrible depth perception, he never loses a drinking contest to the death. Arrr....your dead..shuriken to the back of the head!
I drew this on my ipod as I was waiting to get into the CTN-Expo down in Burbank, CA. I think it's time to upgrade to the ipad because drawing with my fingers is not cutting it! Funny note, as I was drawing this sketch, I must have been contorting my face in a perma-snarl because as I looked up some lady dressed as Santa's elf was backing away ever so slowly from me.Cheers!
Oooo...someone is less than pleased to take home the title of "Ugly Duckling 2010." Our winner thought bringing chubby, lazy-eyed Platypus boy to the party would ensure his defeat, but to no avail. Better luck next year.
Once a staple of any traveling circus, the Strongman represented the epitome of male perfection with his super human strength, well groomed moustache, skin tight leotard, and a hairy exterior that would make Robin Williams jealous. Now go find something to lift!
I have a friend who does roller derby and it's actually a lot of fun once you understand how the scoring works. Going in, I thought that it was going to be the type of roller derby I saw on tv when I was young where it was basically WWF theatricality on skates. Clotheslines and bad makeup were a must with a side of hair pulling for good measure. So I was pleasantly surprised when witnessing the real deal Holyfield. The name that each skater adopts is what makes roller derby awesome though. Like Smashley Simpson, Happy Killmore, AC Slayer, AFROdite, Admiral Snackbar..etc. I'm out!
Here's another VS. sketch. This one has the ever-positive thirst quencher, Kool-Aid Man battling it out with the "Macho Man" Randy Savage of WWF fame. Both bring their patented "Oh, Yeah's" to the party but do you side with the oversized pitcher of red mystery punch guaranteed to leave you with that oh so attractive ring around the mouth or do you cheer for a grown man in pink speedos who always delivers his lines with a raspy, I've smoked my first cigarette out of the womb, voice? The world may never know. Happy Trails!
A Maori Warrior looks to intimidate it's opponent with the Haka, a war dance characterized by sticking one's tongue out and widening the eyes to tell your enemy..."Excuse me, but after you are defeated since you have no mirrors this is what your face will look like once I place it on a spike for all to see". Unimpressed with his busted a$*% dance moves or merely because the flightless bird's pea size brain hasn't yet calculated danger, the Kiwi stands his ground perplexed.
I love when Alan talks about how Tigers love pepper and hate cinnamon in the film "The Hangover." That movie never ceases to make me laugh and reminds me never to underestimate even an over weight Mike Tyson's right hook...especially when "In the Air Tonight" is playing. Peace out!
Good looks, a great personality, and a winning smile make Barry "The Beheader" quite the lady killer. Thanks to that dental plan, instead of teeth that look like a bag lady's moldy finger nails, his pearly whites resemble sharpened Chiclets...much classier.
This sketch is a combination of the finale to the movie "Seven" and the snl skit "D*@# in a Box" with Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake. I forget if it was Brad Pitt's second or third delivery of the line "What's in the Box," but it might go down as one of his most comedic lines of all time. Much thanks to you Mr. Pitt for bringing the funny.
It appears He-Man has mistaken Lion-O for his trusty companion Battle Cat...awkward! My brother and I were huge He-Man fans growing up and it worked out really well because he liked all the baddies while I took the good guys. I think I might of tried to have our dog chew on one of his bad guys once. Dynomite!
"White Lightning" here is rumblin', bumblin', stumblin' and making his way to pay dirt. I recently watched the Cal Bears hand the Buffaloes of Colorado their a#@s in a doggie bag with cleat marks on it. It was a rout and, therefore, not that entertaining of a game to watch, but it's always a fun experience being at the stadium and listening to the "Crazies" you're surrounded by. Til next time.
Here's drawing 2 of my sports series. This guy's about to unleash the lefty thunder strike which has been known to cause opposing players irreparable whiplash, retina burn from awesomeness, and uncontrollable weeping.
Please put back your seats and tray tables and prepare for lift off. Rump Roasting, Bun Toasting, Cake Shaking, Baby Making, Thank You Ma'am, I am Jam! Enjoy.
When I first saw the lineup of action stars for the movie "The Expendables" I couldn't help but think that somewhere Jean Claude Van Damme was crying his eyes out for his exclusion and drowning his sorrows in a huge bucket of ice cream...all the while still performing his patented full front splits. So go easy on the "Muscles from Brussels." Check it!
Looks like Spidey mixed it up with a voodoo witch doctor and got his melon downsized while his hands look they were run over by a semi and then stung by bees. Although texting has become a bit of an issue for our friendly neighborhood web slinger, he never has to wear a glove now for the annual superhero charity softball game. Enjoy!
I had some cardboard lying around so I decided that it needed to be de"FACED!" The tools for the job this time around were a brush pen and some colored pencils. Cheers.
Birds preparing sushi is never a good idea, especially an overally skiddish stork with an affliction of accident pronitis (It could happen). Guilt has taken over the heart of this unfortunate stork after sending his Catch of the Day to the afterlife with permanent judgement face. This is another ipod sketch I did recently.
Plan A: Catch fly with chopsticks and become a man that can accomplish anything or Plan B: Smack the sh#@* out of this buzzing poo minion with my handy swatter and send a message back to all his buddies to think twice before getting all up on my food. Hope you like!
Growing up, my sister, brother, and I had a vhs tape of "The Making of Thriller" music video and we definitely put some miles on it. Although Michael Jackson was about as Coo Coo for Coco puffs as they come, he was the ultimate entertainer. So pour out a lil' liquor for the "King of Pop" and attempt one last Moonwalk. RIP MJ!
If you were every in a situation where you were receiving a beat down at the hands of the female persuasion, ideally, you would want her to look smoking hot and possibly wearing superhero attire. Later, of course, the story of a lady dropping bombs to your face would be swapped out for I survived a dog mauling from a rabid french poodle or I survived a ninja assassination attempt, or "insert manly story here." Have fun!
These hombres are just looking for an excuse to throw down. Bring your mustaches and itchy trigger fingers because high noon is upon us. These are some cowboy sketches I did recently. Hope you like!
I've always liked the image of a lone blues player in a dimly lit room, enveloped in a ghostly wisp of smoke, singing about how his wife left, his dog doesn't fetch anymore, his kids need clothes, and papa needs a new pair of shoes. Enjoy!
Here are some character designs for a side project I'm working on with a friend. Just playing around with head and body shapes and trying to keep the design conducive to a more squash and stretchy look. check it!
I did a small thumbnail sketch of this guy a couple of days ago, and thought he could use a paint job. He makes me smile, but I feel like he would be teased a lot, and quite possibly, picked last for kick ball at monster elementary school. You're catching him mid "threatening pose" which is closely followed by "Where's my inhaler pose?" Enjoy!
Officer Kowalski looks like he went on a bender last night, and not even his morning cup of joe and the delicious goodness of hollow carbs can help combat that dreaded fiend..Monday! So with a dozen, dusted delectables in his belly, and a backside involuntarily jiggling like Jell-0, he goes on his way, envisioning the days of retirement and praying that he won't have to pursue any criminals on foot today. Another sketch done on my ipod. Hope you like!
I figure even Centaurs have to stretch out before a big race. Otherwise, this guy stubbed his hoof on an exposed root and now is grabbing his leg in agony. This is another Ipod Sketchbook drawing I did. Enjoy!
I'm always a big fan of the wise, old sage characters in movies that look so frail and helpless, and yet are able to persuade unsuspecting, naive younger individuals desperate for some form of role model to wax their cars, paint their fence, sand their floors, do their laundry, make them a sandwich...etc. pretty sweet deal! So there's something to look forward to as one gets older...now, coming up with profound things to say might be a bit of a problem. Got to respect the Fu Man Chu!
Jeff is all painted up and ready for play time. Do not...I repeat, do not stare into his eyes. He's got a serious case of the crazy eyes or possible glowing cataracts. Enjoy!
Rule #21 Sneaking up on a ninja is a sure fire way to get kicked in the throat and then dead. This must be avoided at all cost. This will be the first of many ninjas to grace this blog so lets call this one, Jeff. Jeff will deal with you later, but first he needs a paint job. Consider yourself lucky. Cheers!
Here's another Ipod sketch. I saw this lady on the train ride home. She didn't look like the type that wanted to be bothered...or it could just be the fact that she got kicked out of the disabled seating area and was forced to stand. Dang those blind, broken-legged, pregnant ladies with their crutches needing to sit down!! Enjoy!
