"I Swear! I Put Right Into R2's Data Bank. Didn't I?"

Never been much of a Dr. Who guy, which means I put a twist on the subject. Do the Dalek's look like trumped up R2 units? 

Apologies to the good Doctor's fans. : )

Swamp Thing




sorry for the crummy Ipod photo. I actually started this one during one of the Drink and Draws and finished it on a mountain in West Virginia (on vacation). All pencil with a non-photo blue rough in my hardbound 11"x17" sketchbook.

Me as Tin Tin

I drew Tin Tin as a self-portrait because when I had short hair I kinda looked like him. Definitely had the little whip of hair. So I added glasses and my new beard, but now it just looks kinda creepy. heh!

I remember discovering the Tin Tin books back in Middle School. I think the first book I saw was even in french. I couldn't read it, but the story telling captured me! I searched them out at the library and the adventure and action and childlike wonder still gets me today.

And, of course, because I can't get away from my love of the look, a half-tone version:

FInal Touch I promise I'm done now.

Swamp Thing (Not Quite Done) (But Now It is.)

EDIT
Added some water and a little more detail around the shadows and such. Done for now.





...but I needed to post SOMEthing.....Must confess: I never really got into swamp thing. Prolly just never really got into at the right time. But as a kid, I dug the movie. And we had one of those weird playdoh-like action figures where you could rip his arm off and stick it back. (Except when it got too full of carpet junk and animal hair!)
