Hunting Perps

Last week's Timberline topic - Judge Dredd.  I'm experimenting with a new acrylic painting technique with this one. Hope to have that painting posted soon.

Lily Munster

Topic @ Timberlinedraw.blogspot.com - The Munsters

I went with Lily. Pretty much everyone else did the whole fam...ha ha...

It's practice for a new project I'm working on with Dan Barnes and Dead Bride Comics

Boogie Fever...Hypno-Hustler

This week's topic over at www.timberlinedraw.blogspot.com ...You know Wikipedia is a helluva thing...I just looked up "List of Spider-Man Villains" and it gave me just that.  I found the Hypno-Hustler and was sold instantly.  Went with a bit of Jim "Dragon" Kelly as some reference/inspiration.  Simple cel-shade coloring in Photoshop. HUSTLAH. Word.

It's ABOMINABLE Time!

This week's topic at Timberlinedraw.blogspot.com was Sasquatch/Yeti/Bigfoot/Abominable Snowman

Now I'm not a huge fan of Adventure Time, but I do enjoy it. Part of me just can't get behind some of the story elements, but I respect it stylistically and see where it fits in the grand scheme of American animation. So I figured that I'd try my hand at emulating the style. The catch for me was then attempting to take a classic character, The Abominable Snowman from the Christmas Classic claymation Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and draw him as he'd appear in Adventure Time. I feel like it was successful and I hope to take this piece to completion.

Destroyer Duck

A few weeks ago the topic over at the Timberline Blog was Jack Kirby...while everyone else went with some more recognizable characters, I went with Destroyer Duck...King Kirby did the art for this book that was written by Steve Gerber who, at the time, was going through copyright issues with Marvel over another fowl-mouthed character Howard the Duck...I realize that if that explosion is actually behind him, the right side should have the thicker border of ink...and I'm sad that I couldn't figure out a way to throw the "Kirby Krackle" in there somehow...

Strange Occupation

Bond, James Bond was the topic over at www.timberlinedraw.blogspot.com .  Oddly enough, no one else picked this guy.  I struggled with the background.  I wanted to impress upon the fact that this guy is larger than life and has this intensity about him.

2100

Timberline Draw Blog topic - Lone Wolf & Cub. I took a different approach--instead opting to go with the Lone Wolf 2100 version of the storyline. A mix of sci-fi and samurai storytelling, this version of Lone Wolf features a female "cub" named Daisy and her protector Itto who holds a fascinating secret. Francisco Ruiz Velasco did a fantastic job of bringing this futuristic, but horribly ruined world to life. If you haven't read this series, I'd look it up in TPB format and highly recommend it.
