Sketch Challenge!

An illustrator friend of mine, Carsten Bradley, has been issuing "sketch challenges" with different topics. The topic for today was

CARTOON CHARACTERS AS SEA CREATURES

So, since I still have Thundercats on the brain, I did Panthro as a seahorse. Why a seahorse? Because. Enjoy.

I WON!

To celebrate the premiere of the new Thundercats series on Cartoon Network, one of the best websites out there called Branded in the 80s.com held a contest to win the first 33 episodes of the original series. And guess who won? This guy right here. That's right. Jealous? You should be.

So, if you're a fan of nostalgia for all things 80s, and haven't checked out Branded in the 80s.com, then you should.

Thanks Shawn Robare. You're awesome!

Alien Soldier

Sorry for the lack of stuff over here, but my internet has been out for the past week.

So, to say that I'm sorry, here is a cool alien soldier for your viewing enjoyment. It looks like a bit of a HALO alien rip off, but I don't mean it to. Well, not consciously anyways. Enjoy.

HONK!

Had some time, so I whipped out another portfolio piece. This one is called "HONK!" He's a friendly monster who goes around town finding sad people and making them laugh with his exuberant honking sound. Enjoy.

Portfolio piece

I haven't done a portfolio piece in a while. I wanted to stretch my wings a bit and draw some stuff that I'm not terribly comfortable doing, which is, landscapes. But, after I did this landscape I just had to put some characters in there to make a story out of it.

This little girl and her pet panda are in a hurry. Why are they in a hurry? I don't know. You decide. Enjoy.

MR. MAN Self Portrait

Hey everyone, there's a website called Skwigly which is for animation people, but an artist that I'm following on Twitter, Ilan Sheady, posted this Skwigly "challenge" in the forum. The challenge is to draw yourself as a MR. MAN or LITTLE MISS character. Here was mine, MR. DIGITAL ARTIST. Enjoy.

Background

I will fully admit that backgrounds are my weakness. So, to help myself overcome it, I'm drawing some backgrounds that are fairly complex and so forth. Here is one of hopefully many to come. Trying out the "cartoon modern" style a bit. I need to get more loose and learn to let things go. Enjoy.
