Facebook Game Requests

Things spiral out of control for a bear as Facebook game requests start to pile up on his phone.

As a side note, this kind of happened to me one time. The whole game request thing, not killing a beaver.

Superhero Origin Movies

Man, there sure seem to be a lot of superhero origin movies. Do we really need to spend another hour of another movie watching how a certain hero came to be? Peter Parker is a nerdy high school student who is bitten by a radioactive spider and learns that with great power comes great responsibility. Superman is sent to Earth from his dying home planet, discovers superpowers and decides to stand for truth, justice and the American way. Doesn't everybody already know this stuff?

And if they didn't know it, why not just watch the other movies where these things happened? Or read the stacks of comics where they happened. Or watch the animated and live action shows where they happened. Or get on Wikipedia and read the first paragraph of the character's page.

It seems like audiences today are starving for something new, but time and time again, studios hit that "reset button" and suddenly we're back in the classroom with wimpy Peter Parker, looking at our watches, waiting for him to get bitten by the friggin' spider already.

Elephantmen

I haven't been able to post any art for a while, but here is my latest. This is from Elephantmen by Image Comics. I had the chance to read the first issue, which I enjoyed quite a bit. I'm hoping to dive in for more one of these days.

Swamp Thing

Worked this one up with pencil and ink and then colored it in Photoshop.

Popeye the Sailor Man (toot, toot)

I worked up this Popeye sketch with pen and marker at last Friday's Drink n' Draw.

The Tragic Passing of Carl Winslow

I'm sure at some point in Family Matters, Carl said that Steve's antics would be the death of him. You were so right, Carl. You were so right.

Grumpy Smurf

He's grumpy, bub.

Jesus Christ

Wow. Not sure we could have covered a more interesting subject this week for the sketches. This headshot is decidedly less "white" than what's traditionally seen in most artwork and film. I hope you enjoy it.

Columbo

This is my stab at Lieutenant Columbo, done in Photoshop on a Wacom tablet. I think it has just a hint of Dick Tracy to it. Hope you likey!

Greedo

So a battle with the flu got me a little behind on our sketch challenge, but I managed to finish a simple headshot of Greedo. Enjoy!
