Calling Jeff,...er, Skrbbl

I will do a mold for you. i also replied on my other blog. How long ago did you ask me if I could do a mold for you? As I explain on the other blog, the silicone rtv rubber can cost a lot if you have something big you want a mold of. What is it.? A Bionicle thingey? Hey, how many TAG people still have their sculpey refigerator magnet? I Do.

I Got A Million Of Them

Really, this is one page of a hundred page PDF doc. You want the link. It takes about 4 minutes to load. Uh Oh, it's 11 :59, bettter hurry

I Love Jim Gorham!

Tuesday Drawing!! Oh why not stir the pot? He doesn't come here anyway.

Grey marker first, then Expresso medium marker, then twist up crayon and white out for hightlights. Oh, then Dirty Dancing.

Secret Wars Re-Enactment Society

You'll laugh your arse off when you take a gander at the Secret Wars Re-Enactment Society. See if you can spot our own little Scotty Buncake in the piece.

Pupils?!

This is my latest computor edge cover... and the editors added pupils to my characters! They've ruined the wide eyed innocence of the characters with their little pen point pupils! Now they look drugged or crazed! They should have told me they wanted the eyes changed... I would have been happy to do it. I liked this cover and it's a shame that its been messed with. Sigh.

Freelance While Unemplyed

A place specializing in building theme parks for the Chinese also had this idea of a Jack Kirbyesque comic book adventure arena for a traveling show of wrestlers. It was a pretty good idea, a traveling tent show kind of deal specializing in bringing in huge size hick audiences. One of the things I did while unemployed 6 months ago.

SketchySketchSketch

Just some scribbles. Trying to work out a caricature of our VP of animation. Actually I like the smaller one better. I might blow that one up and clean it up later. The cars I think are remnants of seeing the "Cars" development stuff. I've been drawing alot of them lately.

Thursday Drawing (heh heh): Bot in Progress

Is it really Thursday??? Hey guys. I was just up in the Bay Area visiting friends and missed the Tuesday drawing. So here it is on Thursday. BTW got to visit Pixar and got to see their "Cars" gallery. I have to say that when I saw the trailer I wasn't really impressed but after seeing the art I got excited. Also my friend saw it and said it has more emotional than Toy Story 2!! Wow!

Here's What I'm Working On

Sorry I've been so bad about posting, but here's what most of my sketchbook pages look like these days. I don't know why, but currently the process seems to start with a lot of words at first, which slowly, over time, resolve themselves into pictures. Also, I'm uncomfortable with showing work in progress. I suppose I should do some side sketches in the meantime, but I lack Rick's spontaneity, tending to become fixated on just one project at a time.

Page o' Weirdness

When the girls eat breakfast before school I will sometimes do some sketches while we chat... that's what we've got right here. The drawings have nothing to do with what we chat about, it's just something to occupy my hands. This is the original arrangement of the drawings... I only messed with the levels in Photoshop.

Quickeys

I have a rapidly depleting 1 by 1.5 size pad of post its in front of me today.

I added another doodle for my Tuesday contibution

My Brother and Me: "Are We THE SAME AGE?"

It's his birthday today, (for the next week we are technically the same age), and he's been bugging me for a caricature.

Quite disturbing, I think.

I'M the oldest, by the way.

My last post until I'm back in the U.S. of A.

My Desktop Image

Just to make sure Skrrbl is aware his sick mind is very viral. See the other, even sicker image, on story boredom.

Bravo!

Hey guys. I was just checking out the cool crits you've been giving each other and that's just awesome! You're using the internet for good and not evil! So I was just thinking that maybe we could add an extra tool for those discussions. I will make everyone an administrator so that you can add drawings or go over somebody else's drawings (if they desire). Just go and edit the post adding your drawing to the already created post. Simple! Oh just try it and see how it works. Okay? Sorry not much time to post as deadlines abound!

Anatomy Hands

Here are some pencil sketches, ostensibly meant for "The Anatomy Book Project." The biggest hand is the good one; I'm very marginal at hands, and can only produce worthy results after a great deal of application. I'm curious what you guys think of the style on the big one, which is a somewhat tonal approach crossed with a little linear flourish. I think the best part is the forearm/upper arm region, where I'm indicating the muscles very graphically (maybe I should say "linear-ly", if that's any sort of word). I am attracted to this because I like the shapes of the fingers in this flayed, corpse figure.

I did this study from a photo I took at the now-famous "Body Worlds" exhibit (still at the Science Museum in LA, by the Colisseum?). I'll post the photo reference, too.

I have a much more finished version of an arm up at the notorious EUROCHINO site, which you, dear fellow TAG-iste, are welcome to inspect.

Word.

Cartoon Guys

Examples of my attempt to get the swing of cartooney character design. The Blue pencil is Silver refining the designs I brought in. I went with the guy having a bowling shirt and kind of a childish demeanor. Thanks for the guidance on "cartooney" Jeff.

Shameless Plug Post

For my Tuesday drawing I thought I would post a character from my blog to generate some traffic to it. http://rickart.blogspot.com/
