094 – A thing that should not be
A) This is rushed just to get something up tonight
B) I intended to draw a Langolier
C) It did not turn out how I wanted
D) I was watching SLITHER when drawing this
E) Have had Lovecraft on the brain for a few weeks
093 – US Agent
Something happened that brought the country together for about six hours a few days ago. Here’s a patriotic superhero character.
I’ve always liked this costume and character, and I really dug John Walker when he was Captain America for a bit in the late 80s. I don’t know what happened to him post-Civil War/Omega Flight.
I’ll probably redo this.
092 – Creepy Old Man
Just a post-it doodle, with highlighters, blue ball-point pen and a red gel pen.
091 – Hobo with a Shotgun
I’m not good a likenesses, so this is no Rutger Hauer, but rather a Hobo with a Shotgun.
I downloaded the movie pre-theatrical On Demand, and holy balls, it’s ridiculous and insane. If anyone sees that movie and hates it, then clearly they couldn’t read the title of the movie. It pretty much tells you all you need. Also, Hobo with a Shotgun weirdly reminded me of the Warren Beaty Dick Tracy movie with it’s use of bright, primary colors. I loved it.
090 – The Corpse Bride
Another request by a friend, for another character I know nothing about, as I’ve never seen the movie The Corpse Bride. I’m not sure why. I’m pretty sure I didn’t dislike Tim Burton back when it came out. I still don’t dislike him, but I’m on to his schtick and am mostly just bored and disappointed, particularly as he continues to just do remakes and adaptations starring Johnny Depp. Step it up, Burton!
089 – Mercy Sparx
I don’t know anything about this character, but it was a request from a former friend, so I was more than happy to oblige. Once again, I am faced with my limitations on drawing female characters, and this is something I need to work on, particularly to try not to make them all super-busty vixens. Luckily Mercy Sparx is a super-busty vixen, so yay me.
In my reference search for this drawing, I wound up downloading the free sampler issue of Mercy Sparx on Comixology for my phone. I gotta say that I do not enjoy reading comics on my phone, but I can see the general appeal for digital comics.
