Little Monsters

Got oil?

Have to love Robots - there's just no rules when you start with their design. None at all. Here I was asked to toss around some robots with a target age of 11 (boys, for the most part).

New blog!

I'm going to refrain from putting any more paintings (my obsessive hobby these days) on this blog. I'd like to get this back to more character design. So, with that, if you miss the paintings, they're going to this new blog, Big Man on Canvas. Be the first to follow it!

This is the Honey Badger*

*Not really. It's a "Tody Bird." Very tropical and colorful, so I cranked on this and logged in starts to finish here.

Starting with an IPad sketch, I got a good feeling for the placement.

Started with red, always a subtle warming trick.

Went dark in the background first, knowing it would go brighter later.

Nothing helps a silhouette better, than a silhouette.

Tried not to overdo the colors, hard with this guy.

Feenman's Birthday today!

Okay, I lied, I'm not exactly sure when Rotten School's Feenman's, one of Bernie Bridges' friends/henchmen, birthday actually is. But I did love drawing him enough to wish him a happy birthday if it fact today was his origination date. Here's a look at how he appeared to me the day he did come into black and white reality, and a start to finish for one of the page illustrations from Book One, The Great Blueberry Barf-Off. I loved his hair most of all; a sort of quasi-rasta do that was a cross between a bowl cut and pasta noodles. It was as thick as a helmet - which sort of explains why he hasn't even noticed a pencil that he launched into the ceiling above silently piercing his cranium as it fell back down to earth. Sniff! I can still remember when he was in diapers and size 8 booties (men's size 8's, that is).

Monster Y

One last monster before tonight's new episode of "Monster Man" on Syfi (10pm EST). Anyone who grew up six inches from the TV with every Godzilla, House on Haunted Hill, Planet of the Apes, and even Sigmund & the Sea Monsters movie/episode will love Cleve Hall and his crew!
