meal mood

Well... im finally back it seems! after quite a long vacation i feel the need to draw again, and i must say things are coming along!

there are a few conflicts with this piece, i realise it looks a bit obvious that i used a template, i hope to rectify this in the next installment...

also i feel it might seem apparent at this point where i got my inspiration... one of my favorite calvin and hobbes strips... i felt the need the need to embellish.

so do enjoy, PLEASE leave a comment, good or bad i love to hear what people think

one last thing id like to add, i actually reeally wanted to color this piece... and i wanted to color it in photoshop... which proved to be very difficult for many reasons, the most prominent one being i know little to nothing about photoshop and its intricacies baffle me...

if anyone has something to add on this pesky photoshop business i will appreciate the input...

thanks!

 

Fruit 002

omigod omigod! fruits 002! with another 9 fruits to admire...

so each time i do a new one of these i will post a handy dandy list of every fruit i have ever drawn, and here it is:

Fruit Checklist

dragon fruit [X]
Blueberry [O]
orange [O]
grape (grapes [O]
rasberry [O]
watermelon [O]
strawberry [O]
mango [O]
banana [O]
pineapple [O]
lemon [O]
durian [O]
pomegranate [O]
kiwi [O]
honeydew [O]
passionfruit [O]
cherry('s) [O]
peach [O]
cranberry('s) [O]

so why are there O's? well here where fan participation comes in (i hope).

if you post a fruit in the comments section, i will put it on the check list, making it a priority to draw, this will actually help me out, because it will give me more reason to do more of these, and i also wont be picking fruits randomly from the thousands that exist...

also today only (omigod) if you spot the secret tenth fruit hidden in the piece today, and be the first to say it in the comments, then go ahead and post your favorite fruit, how you would like me to do him/her, as well as the catchy name i should give him...

now this all might seem like a lame excuse to save ME from thinking this stuff up, but let me tell you:

THAT'S THE NAME OF THE GAME

Robots

Here is robot 1 of many (trust me i have many, ready to be rendered...

im not sure why i am so captivated by robots... it might have something to do with their shape...

lets be honest you could make a robot look like a trashcan, and everyone would accept it (come to think of it, thats not a bad idea)

but you know what i mean, robots can be broken down to really simple shapes...

anyways i love comments, good or bad, they keep me going!:)

Poison

I've been working on this one for a few days now, even if it doesn't seem like it...
to some it might seem a bit lackluster, and i would tend to agree...
i honestly am never sure what to do with the background...
but i think it turned out ok...

What Did the Banana Say to the Mango???

I don't know...

some people just don't get my PAINFULLY subtle humor...

Fruits 001

Beanworld Vol. 3 came out yesterday and it was great! although it was noticeably thinner and less dense then its predecessors, everything  was there that should be there...

anyways today i break a bottle over the new voyage ship that is...

FRUITS

yes fruits, back when my cousin visited me in Toronto (from England) she brought with her some awsome markers, i was experimenting with them, and from this came a page of strange yet familiar fruits.

so today i brings fruits 1, with old and new, and my goal is to draw every fruit in existance (holy COW!)

thats a tall order! but im determined... maybe when i finish them all i'll print a large poster, showing them all in all their glory....

or maybe ill start a new fad! trading fruits? pokefruits? gotta taste them all? who knows, but this is a good idea...

in fact its a great idea! PATENT PENDING!!!

Christmas Time!

Oh The Horror...

That Crazy Hedgehog

ive been playing a lot of Sonic lately and found the need to draw my own interpretation of this running rodent.
by the way, wtf is tails? a fox? strange, and what it gods name is an echidna?
so yeah, please let me know what you think, and yes i know this is REALLY rough around the edges but i had spent enough time on it already...

(3 Days until Beanworld vol. 3)

Angry Man and Beanworld

in case all you people out there didn't know already Beanworld volume 3: remember here when you are there comes out this coming Saturday! (i think its honestly hard to tell)

if you aren't yet a fan of the series then i strongly recommend heading down to your nearest comic shop and picking up a copy of volume 1: wahoolazuma

I've tried many times to convince my friends that Beanworld was indeed one of the best reads out there, but prejudice falls on the name itself. people find it hard to take something called "Beanworld" seriously, especially whence trying to describe the story, things like "professor garbanzo" and "not worms" bubble up into the conversation.

if you are struggling in the same way here is what i suggest and hope to do myself:

do not describe the story... try to describe the core itself... that is, Beanworld is no less a story, then a journey, one that everyone experiences differently (to quote Scott Mcloud).

it plays with one of the most powerful elements in storytelling: intrigue (to me at least), and that once you begin to understand Beanworld, you become a part of it, and your mind explores possibilities and ideas, and you become entirely immersed in this strange universe, filled with strange folk, and strange laws.

i love Beanworld, and i can not WAIT until volume 3.


anyways i did a small piece for shits and giggles today, hope you like it:
