*?#@ing Magnets

Okay, so I actually drew this one a while ago, hence the ICP reference. I think it kind of looks like Kevin from "The Office" trying to be a Juggalo and taking the clown bit too far. Or maybe John Wayne Gacy if he liked rap music in addition to raping and killing teenage boys.

Nerd Alert!

What a geek! He looks like he was a Nixon speech writer or a European New Wave keyboardist or something. I guess it depends on whether his shirt is blue or pink and his glasses are brown or red. I should really color some more of these things.

Cyclops vs Cyclops

This was an overhead transparency I made for students creating portraits to show them a few dos and do nots and in the process I wound up drawing two cyclops of varying degrees of detail. Plus a rather androgynous looking face above them.

Little Lady

The line between what's cute and what's grotesque is sometimes razor thin.

X-9 from Planet Y vs. The Skunk Ape

This was fun time filler number three- create a monster and an alien and put them in a fight. The movie was "Sense and Sensibility," or maybe "Monsters vs. Aliens." Either way really.

SNIPE!

This was freebie filler activity number two- design your own undiscovered creature, or snipe, and put it in an exotic environment. The movie was "Up."

Robot Staring Contest

It's the end of the term and a lot of students are done with everything so I came up with an easy filler activity where we would watch a movie and then they would design their own characters. environments, etc. This first one was design a couple of robots and have them interact, the movie was "Wall-E" and yes, that's the soap pump robot from the other day.

Pump Action Robot

I saw this soap pump and thought it looked like a robot. So I drew it.

One Eye Mary

I was going for a wood print type look with this. I hadn't initially intended to make it creepy, but I drew the one pupil in and then kind of liked it without the other one.

Shaved

This was supposed to look otherworldly angelic or something but instead it looks like an androgynous Kelly Ripa after someone has shaved her head and she is oddly clueless about it.

Who Touch What?

Who is this guy, and what is he about to touch, and why does it require gloves? I don't know. I didn't draw that part.

CROM!

I drew Conan here without actually looking at the Governator, or anyone else for that matter, and it kind of shows. I liked it right after I drew it and then I really looked at it and saw all the flaws. Like that he looks cross eyed or something. Oh well.

Eastern European Ladies

Poor Eastern European Ladies. The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long. My sister married a guy who's half Latvian, and now they're going to have a little girl who'll be a quarter Latvian, which maybe means if she's lucky the syndrome that causes premature shrinking, wrinkling, and cankles won't set in until she's like thirty five or something. Which means she and my sister could wind up looking about the same age at that point. Weird.

I'm Your Huckleberry

By which he means "Nonesuch." I was thinking about Strawberry Shortcake and then Huckleberry Finn and so I decided to draw Huck in the style of Strawberry Shortcake, thinking it would be funny on account of how Huck's drunk dad beats him and stuff, only to realize later that the only boy character in the whole toy line was named Huckleberry Pie and looked more like the traditional image of Huck Finn than what I'd just drawn. Oh well. I wonder if Huckleberry Pie's dad would go on a bender and beat on him too.

Mechanic, Maniac, or Both?

This guy's iron on name patch says "Jim" and yet his name is really Bob. This is because he killed Jim and took his shirt. I'm not even sure he's a real mechanic. It's just lies upon lies with this guy.

Buffalo Gal Mark I

This was my first doodle of Buffalo Gal before I decided that she needed horns, her pose was weak, and she was lacking that certain something to give her that Sex and the City sass even if she already had their look. Zing!.

iRobot

This robot was for a class I was filling in for. They read the Isaac Asimov short story "Liar" and then compared it to the Will Smith movie "I, Robot" and drew their own robots, which this was created as an example for. I hadn't read the Asimov story before and I really liked it. It was like an episode of "The Twilight Zone" except I had to read it. As for the movie? Will Smiff? Awww Heeellll Naaw!

The Definite Article

Why can't our planet have a cool name? Earth sounds like a noise a caveman would make and it means dirt.

Vampyre



This doodle came before yesterday's drawing. It was more loose and quick and there are aspects about that I kind of like better.

Fat Drakulya

This vampyre is pretty indignant. Also "vampyre" and "Drakulya" are much creepier when you use old worldy spellings.

Evil External, Internal, Eternal

I'm reading a book so I made myself a bookmark. That phrase about "evil external, internal and eternal" was in the book and I thought it was cool, then I felt like drawing a bunny in a hat, so there you have it.

Revenge of the Super Vixen

Because I'm kind of lazy and not entirely sure I like the color version, here's my original plain old black and white pen drawing for Super Vixens are from Venus.

Super Vixen of Venus

Another exercise in adding some color via Photoshop. And yes, that is the spaceship from the movie "First Spaceship on Venus."

The Imp

I don't really like the way that owl turned out. Plus that frog is way too big. And the snake is twisting at an awkward angle. Basically drawing a toothy buffoon with magic zappy powers was no problem but I need more practice with animals. Especially owls.

Buffalo Gal

Sure, there's a lot about Buffalo Gal here that you might call "unattractive." but I think at the top of that list has got to be her crazy buff Madonna arms. Yuck. The rest of her is really no worse than Sarah Jessica Parker. Zing!
