All My Darkest Thoughts...

And darkest drawings!

I noticed that on this piece I did a LOT of high contrast with all the black and stuff... On the SLD piece it will be in the front left corner, so I think the deeper dark levels will look good. I think it helps it pop out more. I'm worried that it may have a little too much black versus the David piece.

Anyways!



Garrett Gallagher, So Long Davey bassist! I haven't met the guy, so I used my artists intuition based on the photos I'd seen... I think it turned out rad.

In another time, on another planet...

So I'm super freaking excited... I finally picked up a pencil again...

See, after the Grubat Commander I kinda thought "Shit, now I've got this high expectation of myself"...

WELL I STILL FREAKING DO!

I dunno, something like a year ago I found out that my best friend from second grade is in a band, and to me that's pretty exciting. I offered to do some art of each member of So Long Davey...

PREFACE: See, this cat is kinda the reason I started drawing and writing as a kid. When we were little he would always come up with some rad new character and some art for it. He'd have a clever and witty name, backstory and powers. He made short films and stop motion animation. In like, fourth grade. I always wanted to be a part of the things he did, and I grew up trying to match up to everything he did when we were kids.

I did short films in high school, I did hand drawn animation, art, writing. Even dabbled in music (Hopefully some day I'll scream in a punk band).
And here my lazy ass is, a year later, actually drawing this stuff.

David Vaughn, best friend from second grade, lead singer of So Long Davey, and the best damned drawing I've done in some time. I hope you enjoy it. Look for the other three members of the band within the next two weeks, and hopefully a neat album cover concept I want to do with it.

This is my practice for the SLD piece. My supervillain The Gut. Close arm came out kinda funny. I always wondered why there were certain niches of villains and heroes that got the short end of the stick and became like... Comic relief.

To me, The Blob was one of those characters that could have been soooo menacing. And he was reduced to being ridiculed for his weight. I mean, the amount of body fat made him practically invincible, imagine how hard he could hit with that weight!

The Gut is intended to be a PMC experiment in Super Genetics. He possesses the ability to inflate his body fat or reduce it at will. He throws a punch, BAM! Inflates his arm and hits you like a truck. You punch him? No you don't, he has a giant gut!

Don't even mention his body slam...

His whole costume is spandexy, including the boots. The metal pieces are designed to spread apart a little bit to accommodate his cankles. I'd put more metal pieces on, but I'd rather have it simple. Keep It Simple... Silly...

The fat cats have got your tongue...

Here is that inked piece of Julio that Patricio did. He never finished it, but he's a talented chap, no? The simple linework to the right was what I gave him, and he (almost) finished with the piece on the left.

I wasn't born a failure...

I worked my ass off to become one...

I never retraced this, it's still in rough stages. Please pardon the scan quality. Luigi. I love everything Nintendo makes, and I felt the need to show some love. Very rarely do I do art of a character I did not create. I should do it more often.

This one I did finish. Almost. I wanted to have Mario kicking Bowser or a Koopa or something. I like it!

Here is a much more finished version of my Rot Falke piece from a previous post. I retraced it, made it cleaner. Added a little more visible detail, most noticeably to his utility belt. I hope you like it better the second time around.
