Exercising Discipline...

Originally, this started out as a simple exercise in posing with about three drawings. Then, typical me, it ballooned into this whole long, gag thing. But it was fun, non the less. Anyone who has rifled through my sktchbook knows that I draw this character alot. She's kind of my default thing to draw, so cleaning up some of my hundreds of drawings was good.

The Big Lebowski

This is my attempt at cartooning (not caricaturing, mind you) the characters of the great movie The Big Lebowski. If you haven't seen this movie, what's wrong with you?! One of the hardest things I've ever had to do in my life is pick just one of Walter Sobchak's quotes. I appologize to all the people connected with the making of this fine film, as well as the excellent artist Ragnar, from whom I grabbed some of his design element style for this. So please enjoy and I promise to lay off the fan art after this for a while.

The Dude

"The Dude abides."

Walter

"My friend, you are entering a world of pain."

Donny

"He peed on the Dude's rug."

The Stranger

"Sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes, well, he eats you. "

The Jesus

"You don't fool Jesus. This bush league psyche-out stuff."

Maude

"My father's weakness is vanity, hence the slut."

Lebowski

"Strong men also cry... strong men also cry."

Gene Hunt

Most people won't have the foggiest clue as to what this is a picture of. But for fellow anglophiles that love British TV like I love British TV, this is my interpretation of DCI Gene Hunt from one of my favorite shows on the telly, Ashes To Ashes. Harvey Keitel is a great actor, but Philip Glenister will always be the real Gene Genie in my books. And for anyone who knows the show, yes, I am kicking myself for not working the David Bowie clown into this design.

Didgery Doohan

So out 4 0r 5 things I worked on today to try to post, I use the one I spent the least amount of time on. But when I thought up the name, I had to. I love puns. I haven't touched water based paints for years so please don't judge me. Don't you dare judge me!

The Viking

Mermaid

Balor With The Evil Eye

The Basilisk

The Tales Of Donal O'Donnell

I've been listening to a lot of shows about (what most people consider) early celts, so I made some characters along a similar vein along with some Irish Folklore. This stuff is heavily influenced by the Samurai Jack style and I thought I'd take a stab at it. I have to say, it was fun to do.

The Bavarian

The Druid

Clurichaun

Banshee

Bog Man

Giant Boar

Sea Hag

Undead Roman Soldier

Vlady-In-Painter...

This little villain is my first attempt playing around with Painter. I want to finish him off a bit, but right now I'm starting to get a bit finicky with him so I have to get him off my desktop for a while and go work on something else. Any comments or tips about this painting or Painter would be gladly accepted. This means you, T-Bone.
