New Topic: SPACEMAN

I'm thinking astronauts, but little green men are fair game. Also, "Spaceman" includes Spacewomen if you prefer a female subject (Spaceperson sounds stupid).

Catching Up Still

20's Gangster

We hear he is a whiz of a wiz if ever a wiz there was

Coward!

No time for a decent color job, so here's the sketch.

OZ - Some

OZ - Some

“The enemy of mine enemy is my friend.”

Ozma is dead. The Emerald City lies in a fractured ruin. A shadow rises from darkest Munchkin land. The Lollipop Guild, in their greed and arrogance, has unleashed an unspeakable evil upon all OZ. Three former foes and their armies hope to stop the Doom of all things. But, it is a fools hope.

This summer a major motion picture event. (Cause they don’t make minor motion picture events.)

Dorthy, Tick Tock, Jack, The FREAKING Wicked Witch of the West, The Scarecrow, The Not So Wonderful Wizard of OZ, a Flying Monkey and To To Jr. ... make a journey way super duper far beyond all imagining.

OZ-some!!!

Starts Friday!

Tin Man

I've spent way too much time on this, and I've hit a wall anyway. Therefore, it's done.

Movie poster

First!

They're still lost.

For those of you who stopped watching several seasons ago, here's your update: Sawyer is turning sissy, Jack became a junkie, and Girl-Jack is still an idiot. In the meantime, a long list of interesting and enjoyable characters have been introduced and systematically killed off.

New Topic: THE LAND OF OZ

The "Catch-up" topic has been so successful that I'm hesitant to post something new. However, I've wanted to see how us Disney Salt Lake artists handle this topic for a while now. Anything from the books or movie is fair game: it can be as simple as a single character design, it could be an environment, or you can go all out and illustrate a full scene.

The basic premise of the topic is, if you were going to make Oz into an animated movie or video game, how would it look and what, if anything, would you change to make things interesting?

She-Ra Princess of Power!!!

For the honor of Gray Skull!!!

I'm still learning the masterful Avalanche methods of digi-painting. So it is with apologies to the honorable Sam Nielson that I steel his lighting scheme. A poor imitation I know. But hopefully I'll continue to improve. I just love that Teela painting soooo much. ;0) Once again super thanks to Seb and Ben!!!

Mr. Hyde

My Late Mr.Hyde, not to mention my first post.

m@u's Mer-Man

Here's my addition to the small collection of Mer-Mans in our Masters of the Universe Collection. I sorta, kinda borrowed the lighting scheme from the popular Todd Harris piece... hey, steal from the best right? :) A very big thank you to Sebastian and Ben for invaluable critiques and suggestions and pure awesomeness.

pigs are people too.

The one I didn't submit...

Finished this too late to submit it for the contest but at least it gives me something to post. I had a blast with this contest. THANKS UDON!!!

I suck 2

... and don't make fun of my grass

So Do I

We should make our own book, Adam.

I Suck

Didn't make it in :(

Peculiar Pets

I am having a lot of fun with this "Catch Up" theme. I am kinda hoping this lasts a little longer, nudge, nudge, wink, wink....

The Last Magi

The Last Magi will die tonight! What mighty secrets will he take to the grave? Can we survive without his protection? Does he flap those eyebrows to fly?

Omni - Oink! the Power - Pig!!!

I thought the Pig People of Padulang would have comics… if they are indeed civilized soooo… here is what I thought a pig comic might look like.

I showed my little girl and she started singing: "Can he swing ... from a web ... no he can't ... he's a pig ... "

nuff said... ;o)

Darkstalkers but not what I submitted

So, I can post this because I decided not to submit it.

The Adorablest Probe Droid Ever

Here's a quick thing from my sketchbook I thought I'd throw up on the blog. I know I've already added one to the "catch up" topic, but I feel like this lil fella fits in perfectly with the Stupid Star Wars Characters topic.

Xanax and Allegra, Conquerors of Zyban!

I was bummed I never found time to do this topic so hooray for this "Catch Up" one.

I've always found an amusing similarity in the names in fantasy novels and the names of prescription drugs, thus the title.

The White Fox

LeprePrincess

My last "Royalty" entry just outright sucked.

The Pig People of Padulang, Utah

New Topic: CATCH UP

Okay, since we can't post any DarkStalkers images that might go into the book (until later), let's have an interrim topic to keep people busy. Sebastien's post reminded me of an idea we've been talking about:

Pick an old topic you didn't get to do, or that you weren't happy with your entry, and do it now.

Any questions?

Better late than never

Zigfreid,12, is the youngest Snow Monster Hunter alive. He's captured thirty six beasts so far in a short but impressive career that started when he was only 7 years old.
Here is a photo of him taken on December 18th 2008 in Antarctica with his latest catch, a Category Six 2.3 tons Monster.

New Topic: DARKSTALKERS

You know, the game.

Usually I prefer to avoid this type of topic, but it sounds like a lot of people are already working on something, so this just gives them a place to post it.

There's supposedly a way to submit these for an upcoming Capcom book, but I don't have any of the information so it might be nice if someone else can supply it.

Pig Chieftain

I think I interpreted this differently. As soon as you say pig I think "Mmmmmh Pig." And that is about as far as it goes.

What do you want!?

After the Big Bad Wolf incident, Larry and is two brothers no longer trusted anyone who came knocking at their door, especially little girls pitchin' their baked goods.

But provokers aren't common, on this island of hogmen.

After 5 feasts every day, nobody feels like provoking anyone. They just sit around and feel sleepy between meals.

A kindly folk...who attack when provoked

The Pig People were a kindly folk

A planet were man evolved from pigs?! Nope, just a town. I think it's in Wisconsin somewhere.

New Topic: THE PIG PEOPLE OF PADULANG

Topic by Joe Olson---take it where you wish.

Merman was a Pisces

Two topics, one post.

Pisces

Here's is an updated 'work in progress'. Thanks for the comments and thanks to Seb for helping me make this piece look better.

Captain Crab

Look I am not going to lie to you. I thought this was going to be cool. Hell, on paper what could be better than a pirate crab with a hook and wooden leg. Well, maybe you have had an experience like this where you are constantly adding more crap thinking that perhaps it will save the piece. Eventually you end up with something like this. Sadly enough, I think this is more of the rule for me than the exception.

Aquarius

I always imagined Aquarius was something really cool, like some kind of demon god of the sea:


















Then when I did some research for this topic, I found out that Aquarius really looks like this:


















Lame.

Zodiac

I couldn't remember my sign, so I drew them all.
