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.

Silly robots

Here's 1-2 hours of pushing my brain around and getting silly.  It's good to get more silly than you think when risk is low. so it's silly time all the time for me. Gotta nail some robot ideas down soon though, and get this cartoon made.
