We Are Back!

2009-08-28T22:51:00.000-07:00

After a short (13 month) break, we are coming back! Wednesday marks the return of this sketchblog. Who will be returning? Who have we added to the crew? How will we justify such a long break between posts? All your questions will be answered come the 2nd! Emerald Rings anyone?

In honor of the new Batman Movie…

I give you… Beastman from He-Man.

Sorry, just a bust from me this time around.

I know we all have been busy and busy is no excuse.

Any who you both blew me away with your entries.

Evan, that is seriously an awesome Sabretooth drurin. Sorry it took so long to contribute but oh well.
Okay, we all know that Wolverine has been stealing the thunder from one person. Alpha Flights lovable short hairy man, PUCK! He is TOO cool to be tall.

Das Hair Battle!!!

2008-07-08T22:27:00.000-07:00

Not gonna' lie, I felt cheated, ashamed, all sorts of emotions after Getty schooled me on the last challenge. So I regrouped, wiped away the tears, and now I'm throwing down the gauntlet. THE HAIR CHALLENGE!!!!

The only real idea to run off of is 'hair.' Can be hairy characters, use of hair, but it has to have some elements of hair.

I went with Sabretooth because he's hairy, and to be honest, I've been going through old sketchbooks and seeing pictures I didn't finish because I wasn't confident in my art. So now I'm going back and checking off unfinished pieces, this being one of them. The other guys are just random, as my dawg Rico said "Pringles guys." Truth is, I just wanted to draw that kinda 'stache. I had fun changing the line colors on this one.

So Sam, Getty, let's see what you got, I've had this done for a while and I've just been waiting on you guys. But you've had enough time!

Getty Makes His First Appearance!

Well, here is the sketch that launched a thousand sketches.. or well, two others. I decided to feature both Marvel's Wolverine, and Dark Horse's Hellboy. Together. Galloping towards the world. I drew this with a pencil and brush. Ramble... ramble, short claws...blah, blah, bent tail. ENJOY!

Here is a closer shot of the faces... of the people in my sketch.
See, Sam isn't the only person to have DVD extras in their post.

Sam's Solution to Getty's Provocation...

...Or "Aggressive Negotiations"

Wow, nicely done Evan. Here goes my little entry into the hat, I went with a Superman/ Hulk theme.

I am pretty sure Hulk is asking Superman the same thing Mr. Wilson posited to Jubilee, he just isn't as polite.

There are a few things The Big Blue doesn't like and this one happens to be green too...

Evan's Attempt at Challenge 1

2008-05-12T15:57:00.001-07:00

The guys told me to have two characters from different companies interacting. I thought I wanted to continue from the last blog we did where my last drawing was of Jubilee. I thought, who would she interact with in the DC universe? The answer, Deathstroke. Why? If you have to ask, you don't understand the joke...

OK EVAN this one comes from GETTY.

2 characters that aren't from the same company doing something.

Pretty open and pretty cool topic.

We only have a week for this one and you should be able to post your own stuff when you got it done.

Great, let's get this party start-- hang on I'm sick of writing like a roller rink disc jockey just post em when you got em.
