bunch of baloney really

When the wind blows :(

I loved the character design of HTTYD (if you ignore the other random crap in the image) i adapted my own trippy sort of spumco look on the era of people It was representing sort of ^^;
 

Development of other characters for my fairly new hero SCPRSPG (Super Cream Pie Robot Space Pirate Guy) with random heads here and there.

My newer sketches are parodying more television and animation style with controversial messages and visuals (sort of) long story short friend of mine introduced me to Immortal Technique his lyrics are deep and meaningfully in my personal opinion so i roughed out layouts to get idea Generation going.

The way i Was

This goes quite a way back in terms of my early cartoon days at the age of 10 or nine (forget) ^^;










Common generic city scapes namely London and New York was another skill i had i tended to just go with the flow of my pen rather than plan and map out the perspective but as a kid at that age would angles and perspective be a problem in drawing no

Move it

Hey fellow Bloggers and viewers I apologise for my absence but I have been committed to getting back on track with my other offline commissions and odd jobs this goes the same for university life in general. I promise myself to share and explore my creative practise to all you other budding character designers illustrators Artists blah blah you know. I will eventually when I get time out upload some of my Paris holiday photos and a couple of my recent promotional pieces.
I just started back 2 weeks ago and I am doing a brief on graphic novels, which is within my interest (even though I only started reading comics about a year ago.)  It’s challenging but fun I post my development work on my Ink Soup account check it out if you’re intrigued.

Today I thought I would upload my personal best recent sketches and ideas from the past few months at least and a completely new character with no narrative or prologue yet but it will come to me.



Points for anyone who guesses the three puppets like characters and the page this is parodying




I finally started a sketchbook to do with observation after 3 years in my educational life 





I am now less Bitchy and more clams about my drawing skills know ever since i started my visual commutations course.

Doodles






These are not really that new its just to give you viewers a taste of my roughs and  Sketchy thumbnails 






Thanksalot

Like most of us cartoonists we never know what sort of crazy insane bubby, cringe, worthily, disburdening, ironic evil  creations or toons we will come out with next to please and amuse our public. 

This is a phase I predictably go though constantly. Mainly this has been happening since 2006 just before I left high school. This was the period when me and cartoons really became to build an on off relationship as most of my early designs were either gothic retro cute Lolita junk like...


 or unoriginal tedious absurd cheap shows like

I did too many of these but its alright I just laugh like a common villain and watch them burn Bwa HA HA HA (okay I do not go that far)


 I had many characters that had a buzz when I drew them always gave that little old light bulb more juice something that would make my audience go whoa that’s new or LOL or even WTH and your looking at one of these LOLs now well the updated version of the five main characters now this is purely for viewing pleasure as I have no plot no character development or a setting just five distinguishing colorful beings all with odd names expect Roy based off young kids toys all relativity recognizable products  (I guess the world they would live in would be petty much the same).  Honestly I would like some sort of story to spontaneously appear inside my mind it would be ashamed and a waste to donate them to the lost and failed section. 





           Here i thought i might as well show the early 2008 piece i did of the gang 


Okay OKAY l lied there was one extra character added to the group but i forgot to draw him ok SUE me 




Need To Be a Father See




This Blog post I hope to show cases the unusual and historic 20th century visual language I use to generate a whole bunch of ideas sometimes for fun but mostly for growth and experience for my future career. 









Sadly due to copyright violation use there seems to be no video of the short on youtube                                               or other file sharing sites to my understanding.                   

Weakly Reporter (1944 supervised by Charles M jones and story by Michael Maltese) . was just one of my earliest Merrie melodies i watched strange how my first memory of loony tunes came from this cartoon spoof on the sacrifices made by those on the home front during World War ||. Any way i always respected this short you know why it gave me perseaure in knowing in those days how big household companies like Warner bros and Disney would make the best of a national crisis by poking fun at the mayor wars though out the 30s and 40s .

Duty calls first save the car 





oh SNAP












never seen a horse before  XD

As an animation enthusiastic I liked Ben washams animation approach towards the characters they seemed very bendy and fixable with lots of emotion and life in their acting and speech of course most of the characters were stereotyped to fit the particular issue the cartoon would be targeting example the gangsters with the guns and the ambiance crew (then again remember I was born in the naughties decade so I may be talking gibberish)

One of the best LOL moments is the spoof on large-scale  robberies still occurring in the civilized populated areas during the WW2 years. This seems like a straightforward cliché scene two gangsters head to a jewelers boutique to what seems to obvious day light robbery. 


the proposed proprietor of the shop is counting out his money at the counter




 when the two men enter the shop armed. 

The caped mugger which is voiced by the God Mel blanc (I an sure its him) says...


                     "Okay buddy this is a stick up come on hand it over" 





what do they want its not the expensive Jewely
 nether the tills dosh they take the poor chaps alarm clock



 and make off at top speed in their getaway mobile.



Boy these criminals must really have a knack for getting up late for heists no wonder they got desperate   








As if taking something as basic as an alarm clock is really going to be the end your business unless the shop owner is a bad organizer. 





that was a WITW segment

 but this is just the sort of nonsense that made these classics so remeberable sure I watched a lot of the wacky funny shorts with the classic anthropomorphic icons Bugs,Daffy,Porky,WE coyote Sylvester bah blah you get the picture. Weakly reporter was just one of them cartoons that i could somehow connect too the past better with humans than animals.

      
           Their not prefect studies as i did this two months ago and tried to cram so much on
                                                                    to one piece of paper



Now none of you may now this but even I will go as far as doodling references from whatever program grabbed my attention and had me glued to the screen for a certain amount of time. Weakly Reporter just happened to be just that special short that I had to take references from. most of these doodles are of hands, thumbnail bodies and heads as character design is a big asset to my body of work I am ever so fussy and impatient when it comes to creating characters (let alone drawing body parts). Still I occasionally will do sheets and sheets of visual illustrations to shorts or shows I saw or watched. their mainly within western + eastern animation but comics and still life are available extras.


                                                                    
When I did this sketch I tried combining elements of the characters from the short in with my personal style of cartoons though I like to varirly (i really do not care for the babies head) sigh







And what better way then to mix both the Merrie melodies short I admire a lot with a personal hobby of mine to create this spoof sketch on adoption inspired by the clock robbers scene in the cartoon (see connections materializing before you).







Long story short this man wants a son so bad that he goes to lengths of robbing him from an innocent young volunteer. TBH I am not sure if I intentioned this to be generic or just gives the viewer the assumption that this is set in the early 40s with the clothes and whatnot . Come to think of it (although it sounds stupid) I would not be sure if this joke turned out to be a real back than if so please somebody tell me so I am not making up stories to impress you.







I will clean up this rough sketch later on a dab of color some inking a proper backdrop instead of an empty void with a desk and cash register would be nice thanks. 

I would like to make a monthly post like this again as there is so much more to me then meets the eye laters.

JOWY ;)
