Getting sleepy...monitor at home is weird...we'll see what these colours REALLY look like at work tomorrow....

'nother Rat

Hoo, mama, just seem to be busier and busier lately, the stuff I do get to post seems rougher and rougher...gonna try slap some a dat ol' digital paint on this bad boy at some point, dunno when. Wsan't gonna post it 'til painted, but heck, gotta post SOMETHIN...

The Dark Mite Returns

Anybody remember Bat-Mite? He was this goofy little imp guy from the Batman comics in the '60's-ish era. I was thinking about it, and I thought it would be cool to bring him back, but make him like this shape-shifting shadow being...he could have the same motivation and everything, a creature from another dimension who idolizes Batman and shows his admiration by putting Batman through his paces. The little doodle above came out of my ponderings, a possible design thing...

Yes, this is what I do with my spare time. I think about Bat-Mite.

What waiting for renders will do to your brain.

Marlon Van Zan Der Moken lives in the freezer and uses telepathy to call you bad names. He avoids detection by crouching inside ancient empty ice cube trays. He feeds off the vague anxieites that arise from watching "documentaries" about Nostradamus.

He doesn't like you.

Discarded Colours

Here's the Colour version of Kate O'Shea....did I mention that the BW pic below is Kate O'Shea? I didn't, did I? The Devil hates her because of something that one of her ancestors did to him...long story, can't get into it right now....

something new later, promise.

Lunchtime Doodles

...a selection from the pile, in all their glory....

Mucking About

Ryan Keizer, a fella I work with and possible crazy-man, has some cool techniques for inking in Flash that he told me and that I plan on writing down here as soon as I make sure I got 'em straight. I tried 'em out on this drawing. Beans gave me some color advice which I then heartlessly discarded. Sorry, man :)

I used Photoshop for odds and ends.

Old Drawing + New Poem + Old Meter = New Post

The grimmest gargoyles guard those gates of gold,
And, watched by ancient wind-worn walls, await
Their Lord, who long has left the Lightless Lands
On errands evil. Eons exiled, He
For crimes was cursed, from God’s Creation cast,
Returning not again to ruined realm.
Yet still those sentries stand in shackling spells,
Forever fettered; feared by few, forgot
By most, their Master’s malice merely myth.
Indeed, a dismal Doom, in darkness drown’d
Are grinning gargoyles guarding gates of gold.

So, I was kinda sitting there, and I thought to myself, why not some Alliterative Iambic Pentameter? Who WOULDN'T be up for that? And well, this is what came out. It's kind of over-the-top-fantasy, but I happen to LIKE over-the-top-fantasy. So sue me.

The drawing I did, oh...two? Three years ago now? It was a tattoo design for a guy I worked with in a warehouse. He wanted a gargoyle skeleton, which I figured was a kind of cliche idea for a tattoo, but what the hell, customer's always right and all those kinds of things. This is the drawing I gave him. He still hadn't gotten the tattoo by the time I left the job, and he paid me with a DVD I still haven't watched, which I'm sure proves something about symmetry to the universe or whatever.

Keeley, if you ever read this, you still owe me for Ross's tattoo design, for convoluted reasons which still aren't entirely clear to me.

And I'm sorry if I spelled your name wrong.

Rats....

Studio's game project....got rats on the brain lately.....

More Doodles

So, Beans, you'd like some more doodles? See how you like.....ATHOUSAND AT ONCE! BWAHAHHAHAHAHA!

...well, actually, only 8. I thought I would see how it would look if I just piled a buch of random doodles from around my desk onto the scanner, instead of taking the time to combine them nicely in Photoshop.
Turns out, it looks like I just piled a buch of random doodles from around my desk onto the scanner, instead of taking the time to combine them nicely in Photoshop.

Go figure.
