It was - A Most Illusive Fish!

ALLO Vera!!!

So whats up peoples?
It seems its nearing the Christmas holidays... not that you needed me to tell you that...
It also goes without saying that times are hectic and busy all around.
Not too busy though, for some sketching and painting time.

In honour of - what to me is - one of the greatest theatrical releases of all time, I whipped up this doodle of Sir Terry Jones in one of his Top notch roles with the Pythons last week as a warm-up sketch for my day. Then as usual I got carried away and liked it so much I had to colour it.

I'd also like to state, I don't often do "characature's" and I haven't painted in a while, so I'm a little rusty. So any tips on how to do those things... good in the first place, I will take into consideration. :)

Hope you guys likey. ...And even if you don't, you still had to waste valuable seconds of your life reading this mini-rambling. So who's the real winner here?

PEACE OUT!

My unfinished 11 second club

Whats crack-a-lackin? ....sorry....
So yeah, this was my entry for October's 11 second club. To answer your question Stefan, I did not end up submitting it, I didn't end up finishing because I got a job halfway through the month and had to put this on the back-burner in order to teach myself how to do my new job.
But, after viewing and voting on this months entries, I felt mine still needed the chance to be seen. So here it is. Hope y'all like it.

side note, doesn't this month's sound clip sound fun!?!?!

11 second character guy

HI!!!
So yeah, as I said before I'm trying to submit my entry for the 11 second club this month. We'll see if it gets done, its a slow, and educational process. I want to have some poses and keys and such to show off, but it may take a couple more days. Until then though, here's a little taste of whats to come. Here's the character I quickly whipped up for my scene. ENJOY! :D

A small update, a tidbit of news

So whats up internety people?

Just thought I'd update everyone on whats new in my world. In case you happen to care.
This little bit is for everyone who hasn't heard the good word yet. Remember my Alphabet of Depravity from a month or two back?

Well, after being told a few times to "maybe have a more professional blog for people to see" and going through a crisis of faith, and taking them all down in hopes to project a more professional image of myself to the world, I got into talks with a new friend about the paintings.

I am currently in the process of having the paintings published. Into a book. Not an "Ebook" or anything gay like that. A coffee table book, that you can buy, physically hold in your hands, and flip through pages with your fingers.

I'm still balls-nervous about the whole thing, since I've never done anything like this before and I don't know how all this will turn out, but hey, as long as I get a copy that I can have, in my home, with me forever, I think I can be happy about that. Although, I would like to see it do well, and sell a few copies, so thats where I think the lot of you will come in handy, I'll keep everyone posted on the status of it, and when its finally ready for sale, if anyone would like a copy, I'll forward you the purchasing info and you two can have a copy. :)

On a secondary note, I am still careerly-impared, and am thinking of settling for a shmucky, minimum wage somethingorother just to pay the bills (wow, there wasn't a spelling mistake under "somethingorother" thats good to know)... but before I do that, I will be competing in this months 11 second club contest. :)

I've already gotten a good start on my rough keys for it, and its going pretty well, hopefully I can pull it off and have something kinda nice for my portfolio afterwards. And Trent, Stefan and I can hang out and be super-awesome-11 second-finalist-buddies. :)

So yeah, I'll maybe post a few items from that in a couple days, just to have my ego stroked a little more. Until then though, peace out internets,
and help me buy more pencils by clicking on my ads on my blog (doesn't mean you have to buy anything, just click and I'll love you)

BYE!!

12 second club

HEY! so I was sitting around earlier today, kind of lost, trying to think of something to do with my time. I opened up flash and start screwing around. And this is what spewed out of me. I hope you all enjoy it. :)
its MY month long animated contribution to the internet. Take THAT people who participate in contests that gain them acclaim in the professional world. ...someday I'll be respectable like you...

One love.

Freestyling! like its Random! R- Random!

Whats up peoples?
So here's a little something I thought I'd throw on here just because. Just some expressions, that were supposed to just be warm up sketches, but I liked the way they looked, so I decided to colour them. Also... I've been reading a lot of comics as of late, I think its showing a little through the style in these. ...hmm... BYE!!! I love you all! ...click on my ads some more! :D

Whats up!

Hey internets,

So if you come here often, you'll notice that - below - I have deleted my ABC's of the Kama Sutra. I feel its had its run, and I've gotten some responses out of it, but I felt it was just too much to keep it up there forever. I have enough messed up crap on my blog as it is.
(I'm having a little crisis of faith, so in my mind, to fix it is to conform, grow up, sell out, etc.) I'm hoping Karma will reward my small attempts at maturity in the very near future.

Just so there's no panic though, if you DO still wish to see the ABC's, they're still up on my Deviantart account. ...Yes... I have a Deviantart, at:

mikowanna.deviantart.com

So yeah, thats all for now. I'll maybe have something worth looking at sometime soon. ...We'll see.

Peace out for now.

CHErubim

YO, y'all n***a's need, to cook up cocaine wif- b'king powdah an' sell it. All duh best, Cornrolla. P.S. PRRRRRRRRRR!!!

So yeah, now that THATS out of the way, check this drawing out! I started this one exactly two years ago, but couldn't get some things right about it, so I put it on hold and stuffed it in a drawer. Occasionally I'd take it out and work on it for an hour at a time, then about a week or two ago I was flipping through old sketchbooks and I came across this. It always kind of bugged me that I never finished this one, This one I felt was ...special, for a number of reasons... I was going somewhere with this one. (mainly because I was developing my style of drawing at the time). So here it is, finally completed. It took somewhere around 18 hours altogether to finish it to this point. I'm working on cleaning it up now, we'll see if that takes me another two years.

I'm a lot like you so please...

INTERNET! WHOA, hey. not much happening here. The usual. How're things on your end?
Good? like, are thee actually good? or are you just giving a typical, small talk, bullshit answer cuz you're in a hurry and don't want to talk? (like me)
Thats cool, hey here's a drawing.

On a serious note you guys... there's nothing funny about abortion. ESPECIALLY when toddlers have them. ...Peace be with you. ...in hell.

cruisin' down the street in my 6-4, jockin the bitches...

soup? (I turned "s'up" into soup.... I'm awesome I know)

To start this posting, I'ma start with something I did for the Sketch Blog-blog, but was never able to post because I always respond to the emails too late and the offer to join expires (cough* trent) ;)

So basically its a druid, hanging out with some pixies... being all magical... at night. ENJOY


Next on the block is a drawing I just did a few hours ago. Its a doggy, being a doggy, and playing with a bug.


So ja, I hope you guys like these. As always, Help me whore myself out by clicking on my ads. :) I'll love you and your private areas for always if you do.

Peace out all!!!

And now, for something completely different

Ok, this one has a story. I could save you the trouble of having to read it by just not telling it, but I want to. So read or don't, its up to you.

A couple of weeks ago I was sitting around bored on a saturday aft. I wanted to draw something but didn't know what, we had a couple spare canvas' laying around so Emma says to me, "Why don't you paint something?"
So I says to Emma I says;

"well, like what?"

I whipped out a piece of paper and started doodling but got nowhere, so I asked her what she would like to see me draw. She said something to the effect of "attacked by dicks." and drew a little 4 second doodle. I looked at it, laughed my nuts off-on the inside and went to town with the idea.

Two hours later we had some lovely art pieces painted up with acrylic paint, they are now hanging in our living room for the world to see.
Peace out again Internet peoples. :)

Free Games for May

Whats up everyone??!? I finally got around to doing a little bit of sketching! yay life! nothing too extravagant, but I finally emptied a part of my brain. I'm kind of tired of the whole techno-art wave thats taking over, and I wanna take a break from it. In other words, back to the roots. just pencil and paper baby, I didn't even use a digital cam or scanner or anything, I physically PASTED these drawings on here using spit and armpit goo. THATS rootsy!
This first post is just an ant. Just an ant, who's angry. Angry ant.... yep.

This next one is a bird. no reference, just a made up bird with pencil-crayon and brush pen.

Annnnnd this last one, is a sketch of The late-great Syd Barrett. I would've done the resat of the floyd, but ...well I just haven't gotten around to it yet. It may still happen.

As always, thanks for checking shit out, Comment if you like, and click on my ads to help put ex-foods in my toilet. Peace out!

Thinkin and shit.

Whats up all?

I don't have anything drawing-wise to post. I haven't been drawing a whole hell of a lot, but I have been thinking, and I want to get as many people in on this as possible. So I'm throwing this question out there for everyone to mull over.

If you had a chance to sit down with Satan himself for a minute and ask him one question, and know you could say anything to him and he would have to be completely straightforward with you;

What question would that be? What would you ask Satan?

fallin back wit a hellified gangsta lean.

whats up homies?!

I had the day off today and decided to fuck around with flash for my first time ever.
So yeah, I basically sat down this morning watched one youtube tutorial and read a page of notes and dove in. This is what came out of my brain as a test.
Yes I realize there are very few principles, and its just a stick man just moving around, but I had fun and it's going to lead to many more flash funs. So enjoy or don't, either way, click on my ads. :)





I dedicate this to you Emmaface!!

Long time no C

Hey there internet!

its been a long time hasn't it. A lots been going on lately, moved out of the booger barn and into a new apartment. Sorry that's taken all my time, but here's something I managed to fart out in a few minutes.

I'll try and have something with more effort and higher quality in the near future, but for now you'll have to settle for a new... Teddy Bear Death!

BYE internets!

BOB marley! blowin' anna puf-fin'

Whatsup internets?

Oh not much eh? that's good to hear. Well, I'm not asking because I care, moreso just to ask to find a way to talk about myself some more. So being that its mother's day tomorrow, I thought I'd get festive and do something for my ma.
THEN I thought I'd post it on my bloggo for the worlds to see. And here it is, its inspired by a lyric from "give it away" the classic chili peppers hit.

If you like it, you should let me know by clicking on my ads. And if you don't, tell me how it frustrates you by clicking angrily on my ads.









PEACE out

Change? got any change?

Whats up again!
HERE I was sitting down today thinking, "You know what?! I'm gonna be productive today!!! I'm gonna do something worth my time like, find a job, or animate something, or learn a new skill!" EVERYONE should try learning a new skill every now and then, right?
But then after ten-failed minutes of pretending to animate traditionally I got back into photoshop... It was only supposed to be for a few minutes, something to fart around with while I ate lunch. Alas its 4 hours later and I have some new crap to post. (not to mention a 'fancy' new (stock) layout for my ever-growing blogosphere). And a new title box that's pretty much just an alternate version of the drawing in this posting.

So here's the sketch. One day at Work a while back I was wasting time, and listening to nirvana, skynyrd, and smashing pumpkins. ...Where this sketch came from, I'll never know.... And all I had was a pen.










Then, KABLOOMERS, its coloured.












Enjoy internet. I love you. And click on my ads and leave me some comments, and I'll try to dothe same for you.

Sketches of mon lady.

Hey there interweb.

I haven't been up to a whole hell of a lot lately, and haven't updated in a while. So to make myself feel like I'm doing something productive, I figured I'd put up a couple more sketches from my "Mercury Sessions" folder. ...just to keep you interested in me :)

This first one is just an amalgamation of all the drawings and sketches I've done of my lady in the last few months. I was gonna leave them just as the raw sketches, but figured I'd pretty them up for you; John Q. Public.













And this here is a nice little life-drawing I did of my lady a while ago. (I like to draw her while she sleeps. ...Then
smell her hair... wait...)
















Enjoy people! and yeah uh as always, clicking on ads helps feed my children.

BYE!

Hobgoblin 2.0 ...and whoring myself.

Whats up internet peoples;

Ok, so here's another quick update.

I did this hobgoblin sketch, it was one of my "Mercury Session" drawings.

Technically I drew this one like weeks before I drew the one that's already posted near the bottom of the blog. It just took me until now to actually want to paint it.

Here's a before and after shot of the drawing, just because I thought it may be cool for everyone to see the entire adventure of it rather than just me.

And as always, I'm a whore, so please please, click on the ads at the top and bottom of the page, (you don't have to do anything, I don't think they have pop-ups attached to them), but for every click on the ads, I make money. :)
Help a brotha out in these times of "recession".

Uhh.... later

lately things

So yeah, I haven't been up to a whole hell of a lot lately, but last week I got the animation bug up in my ass, so I decided to just do something to fuck around.

My lady had an idea for a little scene involving a flamingo, but I didn't really know how a flamingo moved. This here is the most basic of walk studies with a flamingo. I know some things are off about it, I'm still in the process of tweaking. And then maybe adding some character to it afterwards.

Stay tuned in the coming weeks for the completed scene.

Oh and, if you're reading this, please feel free to click my ads on my page, so I can make some cash to maybe put some (legal) production value into future animations.

Peace out.

Sandy Hall life drawing. wait, its sandy hi-...

So, I went to Sandy hill life drawing for the first time ever this week, it was my first time actually life drawing (I say actually, in a way that I mean life drawing someone outside of the house who was paid to model for me and others) in almost a year. This was the product of that evning. I had fun, I hope you do too ...looking at the pics that is... ...and if you don't... ...you're not a nice person.



First one done in orange chalk pastel

Last one done in charcoal pencil

Believe in your dreams....

I can see yer doodle!!

I had an itch to post today, and since I don't have anything too fantastic to put up yet. I figured I'd put up some of my "mercury sessions" doodles. Just random ideas that came out of me whilst at Mercury. Look forward to more nuggets like these.
and I'll try to have something worth looking at up in the next couple days.
...Peace?

Feed my ego!

Hey there imaginary people who may/may not be there.

So I don't know if I have any kind of following. I hope I'm not just talking to myself and posting pictures for me to look at.

If there does happen to be anyone out there looking at my works and reading my words, could you please comment, or feel free to leave me a message?

This is less of a "love me, and let me know how I'm doing" thing, and more of a "Let me know I'm not wasting my time with this ridiculous blog" thing.

So thanks if you do, and for your enjoyment, here's a picture of my washboard abs;

Panda time!

Some Pandas I doodled one day. notice the "beautiful" use of stock photoshop brushes to paint a half-assed background. :P

Oh, also

So, since I have this blog now, I figured why not make some money off of it, so the ads you see at the top and bottom of this main page; I put them there, and for every click on either one of them, I get money for it. Feel free to click as much as you want so you can help support my raging crystal meth addiction.
Jesus loves you

first posting ever!!!

I'm sitting here, getting ready to go to bed. ...ok who'm I kidding, I'm unemployed, its not 5am yet, I'm not going to bed yet...
And I had a few minutes to waste since my lady is busy building up herself in the art community too. (Which is super cool by the way) eeml3.deviantart.com
So I figured I'd surf around for a little bit. I've been bored with everything facebook has to offer for montsh now. I mean how many times can you read someones status telling you news that in everyday life, you wouldn't give two shits about. Oh, you're going to "puerta lawhereverthe fuck in 3 DAYS??!? FOLROLOFGOBBLE! <3 you babe!" And there are only so many pictures you can look through before you stop caring what colour someones hair is this week, or bored of the interesting shadow patterns cast on their face if they take a picture of themselves from the OTHER side of the room.

I don't really care about the news, or sports, and I can't think of anything to look up randomly at the moment. youtube is only so entertaining. and I don't really need porno at the moment. ... ... so like, what else is there to do on the internet? What do I do with my time world?

so yeah, this was a waste of space, and a waste of your time to read. I hope you enjoyed this pointless rant. I feel better knowing you read this only to find out it didn't take you anywhere.

also....

Cute Murders pt. 2

Another installment of teddy bears and the disturbing situations I place them in. Again, this was the product of boredom and MS paint. Enjoy again.

Cute Murders

Ok, so over the last summer I went through spats of boredom while at work. I had MS paint at my fingertips, and this was the product of hours of wasted time. Enjoy

Duder

A guy I drew one day while I was bored. Then coloured later on because I wanted it to be pretty.

Hobgoblin

I couldn't find any good pictures of the Hobgoblin onine, so I figured, "Why not just draw one myself?" Suck on it internet!!
