Here is a character inspired by Slick Rick's Children's Story. Whenever I hear that track, I always envision it in my mind as an animated film. The ultimate wish list would be to have it animated and stylized by Robert Valley!

I haven't participated on IF in a loooong time but I thought it was an opportunity to get the juices flowing. I've got a coworker who got me excited again about joining in. I'm hoping it lasts for a while, it helps that other folks immediately around you are into it as well.
Its sorta late, but this week's word topic was talent.

Watching some NBA on ESPN and doing a little sketching in Photoshop. Half-time of the Clippers v Jazz...TV sports talking-heads going on about Blake Griffin's dunk the other day being one of the best in the history of NBA.

Got a chance to do another sketch in Photoshop during lunch.

Messing around in Photoshop for a little bit. I had to force myself to stop after about an hour and a half so I didn't overwork the thing since I only intended it to be a sketch.

Some warm-up sketches I did over the week. For the bottom one I felt compelled to do some expression sketches after seeing
this site. They're pictures taken of people walking through a haunted house. Their facial expressions are priceless! Come to think of it some of the body language is hilarious too :D

He gathered a bunch of artists together to do a black and white piece for a sketchbook that will be available to buy during this year's Comic-Con. Proceeds from the sketchbook will be donated to a charity to benefit autism.

It was something I did to try and get into the mindset of the game.

This week's sketch topic was Hungry Hungry Hippos. I didn't really know what to do for this topic and I wasn't really that into it to tell the truth. I'm glad I did it though since it forced me to do some quick studying on Hippos since I never really draw them. Who knew these animals were so crazy? According to the wikipage, hippos are responsible for more human deaths than any of the large Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06045699325412634115noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26429406.post-15099206917523729242011-02-08T20:09:00.000-08:002011-02-08T20:19:09.505-08:00By The Power of Grayskull!
I've been lagging big time on our studio weekly sketch dealio and I'm having to play catch up. This is my contribution for He-Man week. I decided to do a younger version of He-Man (He-Boy?) and Cringer as a kitten being a thorn on the side of Skeletor, who was even ugly as a kid.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06045699325412634115noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26429406.post-77721743911174562332011-01-29T13:33:00.000-08:002011-01-29T13:33:03.208-08:00January sketches
I'm still trying to get used to writing out "2011"...
These sketches were done around the La Jolla area.
The top sketch was the view from La Jolla Shores while the one below that is the view from the Birch Aquarium.

group of us at work are trying to do a weekly drawing challenge. The theme is 80's cartoon characters..its not even a challenge really but more of an excuse to draw fun sh*
The theme for this week was Silverhawks and this was my take on the character of Col. Bluegrass. He was the pilot for the team's ship. You can just hear that killer intro now...

My last post inspired me to try my hand at some more watercolor sketches. Watercolors are proving to be a tough medium to get the hang of...ah well, just have to do more I guess.
These were done over at La Jolla Shores yesterday. I got a chance to meet and chat with some really nice people there.
