I have contrasted a bulkier figure with a relatively dainty pose. Such a thing has NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE!!! I yam so smirt.
These three drawings are from a story idea I have about Insanity, the Occult and Saturday morning cartoons. Chaos Star and Character of Aratron sold separately.
I'd never drawn Solomon Grundy before. Turns out, it's basically the Hulk with a different color scheme and slightly less rage. Try to ignore the hand and foot things happening.
Pow-pow-power Girl Power Makes it Go! Never drew her before, either. Tried to make her a bit more hero-y and bit less prostitute-y than we normally seem to see her these days.
Wizards are the Pimps of the fantasy genre. I think this is why we nerds like it so much; in that world, the guys who study the most get to be the Baddest in the Realm. Of course, even in that world, the barbarians always show up and give us noogies. We can't win.
In retrospect, should have spent more time on the actual drawing, less on the robe pattern.
The caption is a bit illegible, it says "When Gropmar is happy, he shimmers." Yeah, I don't know.
Sometimes it's fun to just start drawing shapes and see what happens to them. Granted, this thing would probably collapse under it's own weight, but so might you some day. Don't judge.
If I did some research on modern clothing and hairstyles, I would be able to draw stuff that didn't look like the Jetsons. On the other hand, I also believe that modern clothing and hairstyles should by all rights look a lot MORE like the Jetsons. Who will budge first, hmmm?
BAM!
This isn't a particularly good drawing, and there are only five people other than me who would know what it's a drawing of. Enjoy!
A caricature. Don't bother trying to figure out who it is, I've already forgotten.
Blind Dead McJones. He got da blues so bad, he don't even have guitar strings.
Make a hawk a dove! Stop a war with love! Make a liar tell the trooooth! Tried Frank Miller's nose piece thing, then regretted it.
What a Swell-egant, elegant Paaarty, this IIIIIS!

ReplyDeleteThe Wizard/Pimp is hilarious!!! How should it be called? Wimp?
ReplyDeleteReally nice robe pattern on the asian girl!
Sketchin' skillz! good work!
ReplyDeleteJust hit "next blog" and this one came up. Glad I stumbled by.
I love director's commentary on sketches. makes them come alive.
ReplyDeleteI also just hit, next blog and low and behold...wait, by next blog he means the link from my blog that says Sean R. right? 'Cause in my dictionary it just says "Sean R." as the definition for "next Blog". My dictionary also uses a lot of "quotation" "marks", and is written on a post-it note.
MY fav is the wizard of the pimps :)
ReplyDeleteAs long as her costume continues to have a chest hole, ain't nobody gonna draw a successful non-prostitute Power Girl. And that wouldn't bother me so much if she wasn't drawn by artists who've never seen a naked lady before. Or even a Ms. Universe pageant, AREN'T THESE WOMEN SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO LIFT MOUNTAINS AND STUFF?
ReplyDeleteNot that I'm bitter.

ReplyDeleteTry this again, too many spelling mistakes last time:
ReplyDeleteHey guys, thanks very much for all the kind words! Glad you all enjoy Pimp Wizard;I assure you, he also ejoys you.
Curtis: The commentary is there to distract you from the drawing mistakes, much like the catch phrases in sitcoms are there to distract you from the plot problems. I was also thinking of adding some rim-shots.
Ryan: Technnically, Superman should be a big fat guy, since due to his extraterrestrial strength nothing he does on earth should allow him to build up any muscles or burn off any fat. I figure the same physics that let Superman get so buff also allow mis-proportioned women dressed like strippers to do martial arts, lift mountains, and so on.
And are you implying I've never seen any naked women?! I've seen HUNDREDS of naked women! Probably THOUSANDS! Mostly in the last couple of days! It's been a weird week.
