The Old Fisher of Blindman's Wharf

He is seen only rarely, but when the wind picks up over the water, you can hear the Old Fisher dragging his hook across the crates.

Leatherface

The cleaning lady of Avalanche's forgotten time

Before buyouts, layoffs and Tak she reigned supreme. And if you say her name three times in the bathroom during crunchtime she will apear.

Happy Halloween

This a late "Woggle of Witches" entry.

The Legendary Haunt of Sleepy Hollow

"What was to be done? To turn and fly was now too late; and besides, what chance was there of escaping Ghost or Goblin, if such it was, which could ride upon the wings of the wind?"

-Washington Irving

Tardy witch

As usual, a day late and a dollar short.
This is more of a study on the possible look of a real witch, which is essentially a old woman on a broom. It sounds ridiculous, I remain skeptical as to their actual existence.

New Topic: LEGENDARY HAUNTS

I kept this open, so it could refer to either a location or the being that does the haunting. You decide.

Great Aunt Minerva Oakgriddle's pie: Simply to die for.

Minerva Oakgriddle, 3rd eldest in the Witch's Woggle of East Wood, has over three hundred year's experience in malevolent baking. Her pies and dumplings were once legendary throughout the Woggle community.

Unfortunately, seventy years ago she burnt off the tip of her tongue in an ill-advised taste testing, so when you visit, keep your cat handy. A quick forkful under the table when Minerva isn't looking will likely save you hours of agony later on.

Woggle of witches

ok so this isn't technically a "woggle" and it isn't a sweet design like most of the other ones that have been posted. I was just trying a few new painting techniques, most of them unsuccessfully. So I apologize you all get to view my vomitous experiments.

Woggle like you mean it

I didnt get it quite finished but here is my football fan.

Dear journal,

Casey did a painting without green.

The end.

Late...again.

B-Witch

This is the "after" pose, but she still cackles like Witch Hazel. It's nothing that couldn't be remedied with a mermaid's voice box, but, alas, she's not a sea witch.

Casey's 2007 witch installment #1

Um, so I have a thing for all things Halloween. . . So, I did this piece on my own, just because. And since one of the characters is witch-like, I thought I'd add it. . . I'm sure I'll have more. I know this because I'm working on more, not because I'm clairvoyant.

The Fan

I've always been amazed by the intensity of some football fans.
It's fascinating to me!

New Topic: A WOGGLE OF WITCHES

Halloween topic time!

This topic idea from the excellent children's book by Adrienne Adams that tells about a group of witches (multiple witches=woggle, like a gaggle of geese) that live together in the forest, fly around on brooms, and cook up spiderweb bread and cauldrons of bat stew.

I know we can construct a really fun group, family, or organization of witches, so have fun and be creative!

Some Huge Football Fans

ye Olde Skülls

This one started out as a cheesy avatar for my Fantasy Football team, off to an 0-3 start. Go Skülls!

A football fan ahead of his time.

I guess it would look bad if I suggested the topic that killed off the blog, and then didn't even have the decency to do a football picture myself. So here you go. Come on, people. Football isn't that bad of a topic.

Any resemblance to fans of a certain rival school is purely coincidental. :)
(Also, my apologies for the earlier dupe post---I accidentally posted it here instead of my own blog)

New Topic: FOOTBALL FANDOM

It's that time of year when roaring stadiums filled with rabid, chest-painted, wig-wearing fans cheer on their favorite sport. Love it or hate it, it has become an integral part of our culture.
So here's your chance to extol the glorious virtues of football, or mock the stupidity of the sport and its fans. Or just about anything else you think applies here works fine, too.

Thanks to Dave McClellan for the topic suggestion.

There's gotta be a crying fairy.

As I perused the legions of fantasy art online, I learned a few things; you don't have to worry about anatomy, color relativity is irrelevant, shiny metal and ethereal backgrounds are key elements to any fantasy piece, and fairies either cry or pose seductively. Since Scott has done such a fabulous job with all the rules but one, I thought I'd cover the one he missed.

Then I got to asking. Why do fairies cry? What gives them blue skin? What's up with the uprooted plant? Why does Wynona Ryder always come to mind when I think of what a fairy would look like? Why did I actually spend time painting a fairy? I could only justify painting her by putting skulls in her wings. . . Skulls make it alright.

Fera'cuile'rathea the Elven Fairy Sorceress

Rule #5: Truly awful fantasy art gives no regard to personality in female characters, instead opting for the "hotness quotient," by designing women who have the features of multiple supermodels combined. This invariably results in a character with the mental prowess of a wet toothpick.

Spikzor Ultimus the Barbarian Sage / Paladin

Spikzor is the awsomest of all strong berzerker type guys, but except he can also use magic and has a very blue, very glowy sword!

(He lost his hand when he stole He-Man's sword and loin cloth) then he made He-Man's sword way better by carving spikes into it with his teeth.

Plus his axe is very, VERY spiky.

Well, these past few months I've been interning at Avalanche. I've been working in Concept and Texture. I hadn't done any computer art of any kind before then, not a stitch; it's been fun to learn.

I love the creative environment here, and Ryan Wood is the coolest boss to work for.

One neat feature about Avalanche/Disney most outsiders wouldn't know is that the soda machines are rigged...you can drink soda all day if you want. Another amazing fact is that we get pallets full of Grandma's cookies and processed beef heart from Costco (mmmmmm!!!) Wait! There's more! The company rented a theatre, and took us all to see Ratatouille on opening day, and if that weren't enough - they pay us to draw!!!
I'm now going out into the "real" world to find a job. So, if anybody knows of anything pass it my way.
