Jake Black...No, not the one who works here.

I had to do a new piece since I feel partly responsible for this topic. I also included my first one for good measure.

carrier

I new about the craziness surrounding Twilight but had no real opinion on the subject, until I saw this tool on TV. He was trying so hard to act cool and uninterested with his bed head hair but the entire interview he was fixing his hair.
Girls, please keep in mind the Rabbies and other diseases this poser is no doubt carrying around.

Undead longing

creeps me out.  Actually just undead was enough.  Mixing in lusty teenagers does very little to improve the situation.

Vamptastic

My first ever contribution to the Avalanche Blog.

Nosferatu plays outfield

Remember how in the first Twilight movie, all the super vampires go out into the woods to play sexy baseball, but only during rainstorms because they play such loud baseball? Seriously, do you remember that, or was it some ridiculous dream I had?

Bob Pattinson

It took Twilight to bring me out of my avablog hiatus.

New Topic: TWILIT

Show your love or hate for the phenomenon that is Star Wars for girls.  New (or forgotten) characters are encouraged as well!

And yes, we're doing this topic because we desperately want Kevin to contribute again, even if it means choosing a topic he has already drawn a picture for.

I'm the only Cyclops fan.

I'm a little bit miffed at Cyclops' portrayal in the X-Men movies. Apparently the best way to make Wolverine look cool was to have Cyclops be a smug, arrogant pansy in comparison. Weren't the adamantium claws and indestructible sideburns enough, Bryan Singer?!

But Cyclops, you were always there for me when my friends chose Wolvy and Nightcrawler in the six-player X-Men arcade game.

Morvund uses the wrong brain

Sorry it's so rushed, I'll update it when I have time to make things more readable.

Dr. Morvund and pal

Dr. Morvund, originally uploaded by Ape Lad.

Dr. Morvund only wanted a friend! Not even he could have predicted that his pal would someday obliterate the entire universe! Including you!

Darkstalkers

I totally forgot to post this up here. This is my entry that made it into the book.

unintended consequences

Unwittingly, while creating his evil creation Dr. Morvund somehow managed to destroy several layers of the visible spectrum forever ruining rainbows for the world.

F R A N K E N S T E I N

Dr. Morvundor Von Ragnorokenstein always wanted his very own Frankenstein. So one dark and stormy night he made one. Sadly... he was forced to use brass hockey pucks.

Happy Halloween >;-D

Mer-man

It's embarrassing to post for a topic this late when I was so close to finishing it a half-year ago when the topic was actually going on.

Spider - Man Spider - Man

Can he swing
from a web

No he can't
He's a pig

I'm hoping for the Spidey Mickey crossover myself...

Quicksilver

I actually drew this six months ago and started painting it two months ago. I guess it all worked out for a very nice convenient coincidence.

Video Game Geek

I love video games now and I loved them back then. I drew all kinds of Marios and Street Fighters. I even sent Nintendo and Capcom some character designs and pixel illustrations. Nintendo was very classy in their response and told me something to the effect of "keep pushing for your dreams," and they even gave me the addresses of all their publishers. Capcom on the other hand never responded, but I crap you not Yun and Yang, and Elena from Street Fighter 3 are eerily similar to what I sent.

Green Goblin

Haven't had much time to paint lateley, but I couldnt pass up the Marvel theme.

Halloween Topic: THE MADNESS OF DR. MORVUND

Dr. Morvund's lab is filled with science of the most disturbing kind.  Come with us and explore what's inside. . .

Peculiar Pets

I always meant to do this theme but never got around to it

Marvel Princesses

Oh hey, I colored it.

It's not finished. But I thought I'd throw it in before a topic change. . . I promise I'll fix the line work and maybe even get to color it. . . But just to remind you that I actually DO draw.

Finding Namor

Hulk Smash

This was one of those ideas that was awesomer in my mind.  I want a USB ports installed on my head, so I can just print things out instead.

Ol' Jack Burton Always Says...

When asked what I wanted to be when I grew up I would answer "a truck driver who fights monsters." People were baffled by this until they learned that I watched Big Trouble in Little China every day.

I drew this the day the news broke. For the record: I'm 100% on board.

New Topic: MARVELS

The recent announcement makes me think it's time for a concurrent topic (meaning childhood re-drawing entries are still encouraged).

What we want is Marvel fan art.  Heroes, Villains, Disney mash-ups, Avalanchization of Marvel characters---everything's fair game.

The Last Spaceman ...erm... Space girl

Down with Shane

I am posting this just to get Shane off the top of the page.

Careless Rabbits

Sharks

My first favorite subject as a kid was sharks.  I loved sharks so much that I told people I was going to be a shark when I grew up.  Here are things I have learned about sharks since then:

• Shark mouths are made out of teeth.
• Sharks can fly if they are hungry enough.
• Sharks might be able to come out of the toilet and eat you (unconfirmed) 
• You can't grow up to be a shark if you are afraid of water.

New Topic: RE-LIVE YOUR CHILDHOOD

What did you draw most as a kid? Show us what you've learned about that subject since then.

spaceman

well... he use to be a spaceman. If I finish the painting I'll throw it up here.

Darkstalkers entry

I hear we were finally cleared to post these.

Some People Call Me...

I guess Space Cowboys are on our brains.
