And Now For Something Completely Different

Working on my film kinda late.  Relaxing to some deep jams and decided to take another break and draw some 'fast' stuff.  It's not my element, too...ummm, cute. and not very mike nassar.  but fun nonetheless.

Lots to do on my film over the next week.  But good times.

Vulcans and Romulans....

Romulans and vulcans are cuter in bunny ears.

Here's some sketches I did for a friends cool site. stuff that is "cuter in bunny ears" .  Then I took 1 a bit further into color, keep your eyes peeled on ryan's site.

I chose the subject 'Romulans and Vulcans'

and 'Vulcan Mind Melds'

Mr. Mouse

This mouse is a mouse boss, he's like a dirty 1920's mouse union organizer or something, hardened, focused, pissed.  He works in the mouse trap industry, it's a job that needs to be done for the dregs of mouse society.

messin with some pen pressure settings. really liking it.  Flash and Photoshop color experimental.  some grain, opacity tweaks, and adjustment layers and gradients.

Dallas T. Washington - Amazonian Wild Women

Double crossed and LEFT FOR DEAD!  Dallas must escape a hidden island full of deadly Amazonian wild women using nothing but his savage cunning.

...anyway, that's the short story my friend Adam Balderas and I wrote for the graphic novel I'm gonna make next year.  That's about 4 stories we completed (not including random gags, bits and back-story stuff).  Once my work at www.Toonhole.com is fairly settled I'm gonna thumb out tons of these comics and do em up.

Dallas Smoking

Gumphry, the world's second biggest looser.

Dynamic Dallas

Dallas T. Washington, American Super Agent, has to be as nible as a cat when striking against the deadly Hazmilaz Assasin ninja terror network.

CS4 inking sketch test

testing some zooming and inking in CS4. it renders linework great and makes inking at 66.7% really natural and smoother.

anywho, night cap sketches.

Barbarian! OR Subconscious Arnie

So Braden inspired me to draw some barbarriannnnnsssssss!

The bottom right drawing i think is a famous arnold pose from memory. Arnie flex poses reside deep in my subconscious mind.

BUT HEY! check out Braden's film animatic too, he's a super talented hard working guy and his animatic is turning out great.

More Silly Creatures + Gumphric Tendancies

Hilarious Sword and the Stone mustaches

I was watching sword and the stone last night, doing study sketches, and noticed how hilarious the mustache designs were.  That movie has some of the most hilarious mustaches and necks I've ever seen.

I fell asleep watching the movie a second time that night and drew this dude in the AM from memory.

more staches comin'

Best Regards,
