Wow. Long time, no post. Sorry, but I’ve been stupid busy with all sorts of stuff comics and animation related. I just thought I’d throw a quick post up with a new short I knocked out in about 4 days (brag!). For a local variety show hosted by Jon “the pop culture King” Waterhouse. It was a great show and I’m really looking forward to the next one. They did a 3 camera shoot of the thing, so it might make it’s way to the internets at some point. It’s called the Wang Dang Doodle Variety Talk Show. Anyway, here’s my contribution:
Thanks for reading! And I’ll try to throw up some more comics real soon!-B
I don’t know why I’ve fallen so behind on posting these things! They have been done for weeks! Sponge bob is great and everyone knows why it’s this point. So i won’t bore you to death with the obvious… okay, maybe i will! It all comes down to the visual gags. No other modern cartoon has half as many great sight gags as single episode of sponge bob. I’d love for someone to do a total series sight gag count. Anyway, Here is my pretty off model homage to the guy!
I forgot to scan the pencils this time, and I really should have lowered the horizon a bit, but whatever. I’m pretty proud of the background, I don’t have acess to painter, but i think i pulled off a decent job using just photoshop. Maybe I’ll post Batman next.
Oh man, I love this show! This in my eyes is a perfect cartoon. It has really funny specific characters, great voice talent (Amy Poehler!), and every background looks like it should be in a gallery behind glass. Everyone involved is amazing ( Seonna Hong, Bill Wray, and again Amy Poehler). Plus it’s got the added bonus of being one of two shows ever to have a girl character engage in hilarious slapstick. Other than Olvie Oyl I can’t think of any other “slapsticky” girls in the world of cartoons. I wish that Nickelodeon would play this half as much as they play Sponge Bob.
Here are the pencils:
Again, This was the first time drawing the characters, and sadly I had no model sheets to go by. I Drew this the same day I drew the flapjack one so I still had no pens, so I opted for the brush. I drew all the background stuff in photoshop and recycled those same textures that I used for the flapjack drawing. I would have loved to really spent some serious time on the backgrounds, but I only had 2 days to do 4 illustrations (I’m full of excuses).
Thanks for reading and be back next week for sponge bob!
Hey gang, I read something in the last week or 2 about Chowder (on cartoon network) getting canceled and Cartoon Network pushing in a new era of live action shows. Now I don’t know if the canceling of chowder was related to the programing shift, but it got me worried about the fates of some of my other favorite modern cartoons and how i should do something to spread the word about their greatness. So I had a day or two of down time at work and thought I would do some illustrations based on some of my favorite cartoons on the air right now just to show a little support. So let’s kick it off with Flapjack!
Flapjack is funny, Gross, and cute all at the same time! Love it! And you will too if you check it out on Cartoon Network.
Here are the pencils:
And here is the slightly modified final image. I was going to ink this with a pen and make it a little more “on model” but The pens I had dried up , so I went with the ol’ brush (Raphael #2). I thought it turned out alright. This was my first time drawing them, and I couldn’t really find any model sheets, but I had some fun with it. I did all the background stuff in photoshop using some old watercolor textures I had scanned in for a music video we did. I was really surprised how true to the show the textures looked. yay me.
I got a few emails asking about this, So I thought I’d throw up a post real quick. I had about 30 of these things to sell/promote at Heroes con 09
The response has been better than expected and I need to Thank super pals J Chris Campbell and Dollar Bin Adam for hooking up the Friday night viewing party for it. It was the first time anyone has seen all 7 episodes, so I didn’t really know what to expect. But everyone seemed to have a good time and everyone laughed much more than I would have ever expected! The DVD’s had a few little errors like some foley being too low and some missing music in one scene so we’re going through and fixing that stuff now, and we’ll do another pressing next week. I’ll post them up here for sale as soon as I do! they look like this:
Pretty cool huh?
Thanks again to everyone who’s been commenting/asking about it.
I’ve been really busy lately with a bunch of neat stuff, so I’ll try and post some when i get a sec.
Hey Gang, I just finished up the 4th episode, so you know what that means? It’s time to post the second one! I had to cut this one down quite a bit and do some re tooling of the other episodes so that they will fit a tighter time constraint when they finally reach theirproper home on the web in the next week or so. So enjoy this tiny episode for now!
This is the intro to an ongoing series we’ve been working on for the past month or so. I thought I would go ahead and post the intro before the first episode hits (next week with any luck from the almighty sound gods!). We’re plugging away on the 3rd episode now, and think it’s really going to be a lot of fun. It’s got loads of monsters and all sorts of 80’s era cartoon crap in it. Enjoy!
