Oldy but Newy

This is a redo of an old picture of mine. I liked the picture before, but this is better I think. Anyway, I hope it is. Otherwise I ruined it.

Happy Belated Christmas!

Caveman

Whoops! I forgot to do the Illustration Friday thing for the week, but dat's okey.
Here is a caveman.

Blue Guy

Weird Baby

Not Ramona, incidentally. It's a baby that was in Life in 1935. If all went well this is now an old person.

Salamander

Some Guy

When I draw a person without looking at a reference, the proportions always come out a little weird. Actually, that happens when I look at references too, but this guy I just made up.

Abstract Seascape

Birdos

Moustache Big Ears

Illustration Friday: Similar

...yet still unique!

Sardou (Apparently)

I'm feeling a bit retro.

Illustration Friday: Balloon

The only way to travel, if you ask me.

Albrecht Dürer

Illustration Friday: Opinion

Some people have opinions, and some people have really strong opinions.

Usually I go for really obvious, but this time I went for slightly confusing.

Illustration Friday

Eyeball Knife of Destiny

The much ballyhooed eyeball knife of destiny.

Illustration Friday: Pretend

Very first thing that came to mind, so I went with it.

Illustration Friday

Keytar

I wanted to do a new self-portrait for the "about" page on my site. I'll put the same description here that I did there:

"Here's a photo of me from 1989 when I was still touring with the Romanian New Wave outfit Super Lāzeru (Super Laser)."

Griffin I Guess

19th Century Wawoo

Bebé

A weird caricature, but I think the essential cuteness remains!

Very Serious

Why Galaxies Are Flat

An accidental model of how galaxies flatten out. Not terribly accurate, obviously, but still interesting.

H. H. O. W.

I woke up early today (because Ramona woke up early today), but after I got her back to sleep I managed to knock out this Halloween card. I have to confess that I'm not feeling that Halloweenish this year. What is it? The election stuff maybe? I'm sure next year when we force Ramona into a Halloween costume I'll be more into it.

Illustration Friday: Repair

Just in under the wire on this one (again)! I'll have to do my next one before it's Friday again. This was a real quickie done with a pen and watercolor pencil, with extra colors in Photoshop.

Illustration Friday

Candyman

Today I came across this drawing I did a while ago of Tony Todd in Candyman. I forgot about this; it's not bad, actually.

Tree City

Frog

Weirdo Druid Guy

Illustration Friday: Late

Late again! And drunk! Again! This wedding is never going to happen!

I was almost late in posting this, but I wasn't, and also I wasn't drunk (not my scene). If I had been late that would have been fitting perhaps, and if the topic had been "early" and I was late, that would have been ironic. Instead it is neither fitting nor ironic, and certainly not interesting enough to merit a paragraph.

This is pen with Crayola marker, some water, and then some color added in Photoshop. I don't know what medium that makes this, but let's say digital, because how else could you be looking at it on your computer? Eh? Eh?

Illustration Friday

Tough Guy

This guy was made in Zbrush. I should do a turntable video when I upload 3d stuff (or do better renders). I do like the modeling here though.

Rhino

Devious Dude

Jeff

Bidness Bird

Gator

Lambo

Punkin

Illustration Friday: Strings

Mariachis hate broken guitar strings! Also, a lot of them have their strumming arms stuck like that from playing guitar all the time. This is gouache on paper with some digital touch-ups.

Illustration Friday

Forest Gooblin

And this one's gouache with a little bit of digital sweetening (highlights, mostly).

Gouache Head

This one's just gouache, on a smoother paper.

Distinguished Gentleman

I want to get back to doing less digital stuff and more traditional stuff. This one's gouache and colored pencil. I like it, but I have some things to learn about gouache!

Romantic Space Embrace

Samurai

Illustration Friday: Sugary

As ice cream season draws to a close (up here anyway), I thought I would celebrate the multitudinous joys thereof.

Illustration Friday

Lots of Eyes

Rocks

Illustration Friday: Packed

If there are two things we love as Americans, it's packing clowns into little cars and packing college students into telephone booths. Here's my proposal for the logical extension of those time-honored traditions: packing clowns and college students into a big telephone booth-esque sedan.

Illustration Friday

Chinese Dragon (Wawoo!)

HAPY BIRFDAY!

It's Dan's birthday, uh, yesterday! Sorry Dan, I didn't know yesterday was the 25th... Also the birthday of Mark Hamill, Christopher Reeve, Heather Locklear, and of course Nigerian footballer Tijani Babangida.
