Sketching in the park.

It was a beautiful day in Brooklyn yesterday, so I took the opportunity to hit Prospect Park and tug along my sketchbook. Sitting under a leafless tree, I doodled these characters.


No... I did not see any of these characters in the park, however i was inspired by some of the park patrons for the bottom series.

Some backgrounds I worked on this past week...

I repainted this background from Snow White for a snow-white spoof animation short a friend of mine (Mike Carlo) animated for some buddies of his. The composition and colors were lifted from the original background. Hopefully the short will be broadcast live on tv on a saturday night in the near future. Keep your thumbs crossed and wish us luck.

Adventure Time SB Test

I just completed a storyboard test for Cartoon Network's Adventure Time. Not sure how I did overall, but personally, I am happy with my accomplishment.

I was given an outline and was tasked to write all the action, gags and dialog. No simple feat.

Check it out, if you will...

so-so bots

I came up with a few robot designs for my work assignment this week that just didn't get the thumbs up, but i liked them. i know they wont ever be used, so i thought i might share them here until i get in trouble.

D&D design contest submission.

Last month, i entered a fun little contest to design Reis, the geek blogger of Geek Orthodox, into a D&D character, using a the little knowledge i assumed of his personality. I had no idea what the competition would be like, but was fairly confident id get into the running with my drawing skills. as for the back story and whatnot... i just tried to make it a little tongue in cheek. With the help of my friends and strangers, i won the contest in a vote-off.

here is my full submission, yet it was abridged over at Geek Orthodox...



the grand prize is a near-mint vintage D&D LJN action figure, which i once owned as a young geek, and now will own again as an adult geek.

Mr. Crabbs...

Ok, so its not exactly Mr. Crabbs... But he is Crabby. A crab Man, if you will.

Some more Crashstronauts...

Here are some more character design stuff from the Crashstronauts. First, some heads and hands from Neckbeard...



...and secondly, a turnaround for the superspy Bionic Sev. He is all man where it counts.
