...a little burn out adds to an older project

So I was trying to work on my 30characters and I got a sick. But I was looking through some older projects and ran across my "Space Marines" story that I was working on for an anthology. and I remembered a quick sketch of two comedic characters... A pair of brothers that kinda look like huge mice.

All I had was that they would launch the Space Marines away ships in the beginning of the story with a AC-DC style "Fiiiiiiiiiire." And suddenly it was Veteran's Day and a story came to me that I had to finish. #30characters be damned... Ha. So here is my #11 characters and a comic to accompany the characters.

Week 2 of 30characters

More to come...stay tuned. I am a little under the weather, But I am still staying on some type of a schedule.

Another Art and Story entry into the monthly A&S: Challenge... Saturday Morning Cartoons... Somewhere at my parents house there is a picture of me in my vinyl He-man Halloween costume. All of my Halloween costumes that I can remember having is features in this page of from my webcomic "Beyond."

Art and Story: Challenge Entry

My August's Art and Story: Challenge was inspired by Kevin Cross's poignant A&S:Supreme microcast "Fear." Please check it out if you haven't already. Also told here on his Monsters are go! page on his LazerBeams site...The story told of Kevin's father and his comic "Monsters are go! His words about his father moved me and inspired me to continue even harder on my artwork.

Here is my try at drawing his two Mod Monster and a making fun of Elmo joke.

I had originally had a "Draw a Kevin Cross type Monster" challenge scheduled, so this makes the challenge even more important. So this month our challenge is for Kevin, to try to inspire him right back.

"Monster are go!"

Some warm ups and pre-production sketches

More warm ups before I continue on the page what will never end... over 3/4ths of the way done should be up next week some time...
Some character designs for background "Monsters" in BeyondAnd a quick sketch of Webster...

Later,
Bob

Art and Story

I started up a new challenge at the Art and Story Forum ...if anyone is interested... you should check out their show and sign up for the forum... it's really informative... and lots of beginner and professional artists are on there talking on lots of different subjects.

This was the first assignment...it was "Use a catchphrase of Art and Story and illustrate it." The name of each of their podcast start with "THE BIG"...something. So I aped that...
The second assignments was to create a mash-up of two people or characters, give some of their character traits you considered and the drawing of said character... so here is a mash-up of Adam Strange and my niece Ashley.
Enjoy,
Bob

More sketches from beyond

I was digging through some old disks and found some scanned pictures of Sebastion from my webcomic "Beyond". I think I was working out some scenes that should be coming up soon...
This was the first drawings of Sebastion before I even thought of any story... I remember liking the mask and they huge eyes...
I think I was working out Sebastion's attitudes and some scenes that should be coming up soon...

Just messing around on the tablet... I cant get the hang of not making marks...have to use pen and paper... But I use the tablet for clean up and coloring...I haven't introduced this character yet in the webcomic... I though it would be nice to draw her, again before she shows up...More futzing around on the tablet... I may do some non Beyond sketches and put them up on www.Oxymoronpress.com...

Enter the Void...

I wanted to post this picture of the Electric Monk... Before I send this guy off to get his butt kicked at http://www.entervoid.com . This is the first picture of the character I had ever drawn. You can see the beginning of the ongoing story at http://www.oxymoronpress.com/comics.html.

Stay tuned....
