There is a truth between these two ideas ...

This drawing was super fun to do and I think the reason why lay between the following two possible causes.

1. I have spent WAY too much of my art time on figure studies lately (not that you can do too much figure practice but that it can snuff out any time for anything else in large quantity)

2. Zach Heckert has some of the most extreme characters I've ever seen and trying to recreate them is a daunting but rewarding process I have come to greatly enjoy.

Anyways, I wanted to do another ZH fan art image to show I've improved since I made those others I have recently posted.  Enjoy!  And here is the glorious source.

The Mustached Truth

"Any dog under fifty pounds are cats and cats are pointless." 

So long ago ...

I have done a horrible job updating this blog this year.  Or, more accurately, I have not updated this blog this year.  I was tempted to image dump a large nasty mess of pictures on here in one big go but, luckily for you, I thought better of it.  Instead, here is a stain glass looking picture of the nefarious Dracula. 

Enjoy!

I'm not sure what _____.

I am finding I am having trouble balancing having art on Instagram, here, and facebook ... its hard, I loose track of at least one all the time and practically let it die.  If I can't learn to be better at balancing three diffrent cared about things I better make sure to never have more than two kids.  I need to find some sort of progression grove where each thing has its proper place.  After I figure that out I need to start twittering.  Then youtubeing. Then something else which I am sure we be invented before I get that far.  

Before all that happens, here is a thing for your eyes to see.

SPACE PEOPLES.

I can't believe how long it's been ...

... Months at least since my last baked potato.

Also, it has been a while since I posted here, I guess.

Here is my newest finished something ... in sadly low res ... oops. I'll have to fix that later.

Mario! ... man, I miss Bob Hoskins.

Luigi! My personal favorite Marioite.

Princess Peach! Looking kinda gold-diggery ... an odd thing for a princess.

Princess Daisy! Does she really have a third eye on the back of here head or was my old room mate just joshin' me?

Toad! So ugly he's cute! ... right?

Waluigi! Ever rocking the bell bottoms.

Wario! In a possible ninja pose, inexplicably.

Yoshi! A unisex dino with a long tongue that has a thing for a thing named "Birdo". Odd.

Guardians of the Galaxy - 2 of 5 and more!

Here are some more of my Digital Sketchbook pages where I figured out the line work for some vector images! I had a lot of fun doing Drax, Hawkeye, the Hulk, and Mario!

Drax was intrasting to do because in the new Guardians of the Galaxy film his red markings are strange and complex and would be too time-intensive and detailed to properly render on a cartoon of this caliber, thus I had to find a level of simplification I liked for the set.

Looking at this a couple hours later I can see I accidentally deformed the Black Widows legs ... oops.

I just love this page. <3

Guardians of the Galaxy - 3 of 5

Here are a couple of my Digital Sketchbook pages where I figured out the line art for my vector Guardians of the Galaxy images that I am currently about halfway through!

Peter Quill (a.k.a. Star Lord) and Rocket Raccoon

I AM GROOT!

Three and Three

The first three - three of my Digital Sketchbook pages.

Everybody's favorite flux-capacitor inventing time traveler!

I mostly did this page as a contrast to my Ron Swanson pages as Christopher Lloyd and Nick Offerman have such a difference between their faces and expressions. I found the switch difficult and the likeness above to be a little lacking.

Page 3 of Swansons.  The top two turned out rather well I think! The other two ... hey, what's that behind you?!?

nothing? oh, well. Where was I? ah, Princess Leia!

I decided late last night I wanted to do something for yesterday's Sketch Dailies ( #PrincessLeia ) and this was all I had time / awake-ness / willingness to do. I like the top right face ... I want to do something more with it but have no idea what.

Next up the Shel Silverstein monsters! I am nearing the end of these ...

The Zumbies!

This is another one with an appearance I almost completely made up .. I like it.

The Gumplegutch!

Meh ...

The Flying Festoon!

... and the award for being my least favorite drawing in the collection goes to ...
