Sketch 5: Fallen

Today I did one of my little angel guys.  I like this one for a whole number of reasons, none of which I feel like I can accurately describe on here, so if you like it feel free to insert your own meaning.

Sketch 4: Sidewinder

This character is a little play from my character a couple days ago.  He seems to belong in my MAD MAX style world that I created with my "Man of Many Faces" sketch I did a few days back.  Like I said in that post, I thought it would be cool to have a world where people were identified by the MASK they wore, and create a villain who steals the IDENTITY of his victims.

I haven't decided whether or not this guy is a villain, but I do like his mask.

I might continue to make more masks as I have realized that I draw the mask FIRST and then design the character around the mask, which is a fun way to draw.

Sketch 3: Braid

For this sketch I was really just playing around with different things I like to draw and combining them into a character which I thought turned out pretty COOL.  Other than that little description there is really nothing else to say about this sweet little guy...ENJOY!!!

Sketch 2: Man of Many Faces

Here is my sketch that I worked on today.  Surprisingly enough this one has a little backstory, which is interesting because very few of my sketches do.  

This one actually goes a while back when I decided that the coolest VILLAIN in a comic would be one that can change his appearance and blend in with society. The idea came from G.I. Joe's main villain Cobra, who I think is one of the coolest villains, next to Magneto(drool), or Shredder.  All of these villains wear a MASK, which is how I decided that for this villain to properly work the entire culture had to revolve around the use of a mask as an Identity.  This way when the villain kills someone, he takes their mask, and thus, their IDENTITY.  

Very HIGHLANDER, I know.  

Either way, this is my idea of what he would look like.

Sketch 1: High Society Flannel

I mentioned the other day that I really haven't had time to work on NEW projects, which I still DO NOT, however I am at my computer for about an hour a day, which means I have the time to do some QUICK edits on some of my sketches.  So that being said, here is the first of my sketches.  I'll probably do these for the next couple days or so, or until I have something awesome and new to post.

Something Random

I haven't had much time to myself lately, so I haven't really had time to sit down and work on projects.  So it seems the projects that I think of and write down are beginning to start piling up.  I recently told my girlfriend I would draw on her TOMS for her, and last night was really the first night I touched them.

So until I have time to actually do important stuff, you get scraps that I take with my cell phone of random things I draw.  Hopefully everything starts slowing down, and I actually have time to do things I enjoy doing instead of being crazy busy.  But looking at my schedule for April, I'll be lucky if I get a break.

Snowman

One of my favorite things to doodle is snowmen.  I like them because they are simple to draw and its fun to play around with the shape and the scale of the snowballs.  I could go on rambling a bunch of other artsy things but I just like drawing snowmen.  I usually don't make them all fancy like the one on top.  Normally they look like this one:

He doesn't have any arms either...

Either way, I'm adding a new label section for all my snowmen, because I feel like I draw enough of them.

What the Fluff? Pt. 2

Well, I haven't posted in a couple of weeks.  I have been busy working and doing other dumb stuff, but I eventually made it back to my computer and was able to get the second part of my What the Fluff? doodle figured out.  I really like the unfocused nature of this one and I think it looks really cute...

What the Fluff? Pt. 1

So as I type this I am packing for a weekend in LAS VEGAS with my family.  I'm pretty excited but a little sad I won't be able to post for a while.  I did this drawing about the same time(and on the same paper) that I did the Oy! Soldier drawing on.  Until recently I didn't really have anything to do with it, but I have been watching Adventure Time recently and thought it looked A LOT like the two main characters.  So I colored them up in PS with similar colors and threw on a background.  It was about a 1 hour color job as I didn't get too COMPLEX...

Anyways I will be in VEGAS all weekend and back Sunday night, hopefully with some MONEY and most likely with pt. 2 for Monday morning. 

Snipe

When I was about 8 or 9 years old, I took part in what is commonly referred to as a SNIPE HUNT.  Anyone who has ever been on a snipe hunt is already laughing.  If you have no CLUE what I'm talking about are free to look here.  If I remember right I was told that a SNIPE was a small animal that looked like a HEDGEHOG but had large CLAWS and a long BEAK.  I was told that the only way to catch one without getting pricked was to fill a bucket with water HALF FULL and that to catch the SNIPE I would have to put the bucket on the animal without spilling any of the water.  Needless to say this NEVER happened.  After about 30 minutes I gave up and later on the rest of us newcomers one-by-one returned disappointed and with no sign of any snipe.

A few years later I got to send a few newcomers at summer camp on a SNIPE HUNT but thought I would appeal to the more intelligent of the bunch by telling them that first they had to get a bucket of DEHYDRATED WATER(doesn't exist) to catch the animal.  Shortly after the young campers left they all came back realizing there was no such thing.

All of this story has NOTHING to do with this drawing.  However, while I was in class I somehow started remembering this story and began doodling an idea for a child super hero.  Basically the IDEA was that a little 8 or 9 year old kid with a pair of footy pajamas and a great imagination creates all these rediculous missions for himself which end up getting him in lots of trouble in the real world; only to ultimately save the day in the real world and more importantly, in his IMAGINATION.  He is...THE SNIPE!

I toyed with this idea pretty much the entire class period and got these...
