Goo...Fail...

So they can't all be good. This was a piece I was working on for the challenge of Goo. I had a lot of ideas for this. It was a fan art piece focused around the "gel" that was introduced in Portal 2. Well...my original thoughts became completely lost along the way and it started turning into something that I just didn't feel like ever finishing. I have another idea for Goo instead but I'm working on finishing up Trucker Mouth first.
Here is a shot of the work in progress.

Here is a close up shot. I really liked my drawings of Glados and Weebly. Also I was getting all into hiding little elements of the game in there like the companion cubes in the tunnel in the lower right frame.

De-do-dee-dum-dee-dum-dee-dum-deee

And the post challenge posts just keep on coming! Here is my piece for Teeth!

Finally buckled down and finshed'er up. My apologies to Jesse who continue requested I hand paint this piece. I just wasn't feeling it for this one. Rest easy though, some actual hand painted art cometh.

Can you relate...?

You see they're wearing suits, that means they can make good decisions...

Remember me?!?! Boo Boo!!!

So when the challenge of "Boo Boo" came up I painted a Dunny for it...but I don't have a camera so I never posted. It came out really awesome though. Trust me! Anyway it made me want to do an illustration for it as well. So, this image has been done in my head for forever. I just finally decided to put mouse to monitor and get it done.


Also, I know I've totally dropped the ball on the monthly challenges. They will be back soon, I promise!! So get your pencils ready.

Guess...

So all four images in my piece below are from games that I really love but certain parts in the game made me hate them. A lot. Ten points to anyone who can guess all four!!

LDK: The Legend Continues

Eventualy the Little Dancin’ King began to grow older. As he grew his power became great. His dance became legendary and people lived happy, joyful lives knowing of the little master of movement.

Then one day the Little Dance King simply disappeared.

Some say he was captured by a race of jealous alien kitties from a planet with no sense of rhythm. Those who share those beliefs live happy, joyful lives knowing the King is bringing joy to others far across the universe with his wicked-sweet moves.

Others say he became sucked into a digital world full of war, violence and overly complex puzzle solving scenarios. Those who share those beliefs fear that the King has given up his gift for dance and the world will never share joy and happiness again.

Finally, few tell rumors of seeing the King, thrusting, sweating, blessing local dance clubs with his gift for grooving. Those who tell the rumors feel they have truly been blessed to bath in the majesty of the legendary Little Dance King.

I have a version with lines on it on my blog but my original intent was to just use color so here it is.

Balloon...er...Box Baby...

So here's my Balloon Baby. I bought this really cool book recently that has all these really amazing paper toys in it. So I decided to make a paper toy for this month's challenge. I think it came out pretty good for my first one. I did the die-line and everything from scratch.

Retrobot...sketch...

So I will openly admit that I didn't even have my idea until two nights ago when I was driving home. That's where I get most of my best ideas. Then I come inside my apartment and eat a bunch of corn chips and forget everything. When I finally sat down to start sketching this bad boy out it just kept growing and growing. I'm hoping to have it done by sometime next April...:(

Anyway, here's a sneak at the sketch so far...

The guys know what I'm talkin' about...

So originally I had about a dozen different ideas for this piece. Each more hilarious and yet more inappropriate than the next. Finally I decided on this direction but sadly found that it was still incredibly inappropriate. So check the cropped image above and if no one else is around click here for the full version.

Enjoy!!!!!

...super naked baby squad! kicking ass and breaking hearts!...

Okay! Here it is. I'm getting kinda tired of clean vector work, plus I really liked my drawing so I tried to rework it back into the vector stuff. Hope you guys dig it!

Sweet! That's two for last month...now on to the March challenge.

CMYfaKe...

Okay...ha ha ha ha...this isn't my final entry but I did this just for kicks. This is how I truly envision the mascot of love.


I do kind of like this piece though...

I'll be posting another piece soon.

Cowboy Late-mas

So yes, I am not setting a very good example by posting late but here it is. Outlaw Santa knows how to deal with naughty lil' varmints. This also marks the first time in a loooong time I did a piece in pshop using my actual pencil sketch. Don't worry though, I'll get all anal and do the next one in illustrator.
