Humanity 2.0

tumbleweeds in here...somebody post something!

No One of Consequence (Lovable Rogue)

Two months late - the dread pirate Roberts, an archetype of the lovable rogue if ever there was one. No humanity2.0s yet...I do seem to have a knack for picking unpopular subjects!

Zombies

A lot of people are still worried about Zombies, despite the fact that one man has come up with a comprehensive solution to all zombie-related problems: the chainsaw suit, as proposed by the legendary Kris Straub.

Also did a bit more work on my night girl:

Not Birds.

Some Batmans I drewed.

Since my last Batman posted looks like it was drawn by an actual bat, I thought I'd better try and make it up to the caped crusader.

Collective Gathering Sketches

Many thanks to Ben, Andrew and Jon for making the first three pages of

my new sketchpad pretty awesome :)

Batman by Ben

Batgirl by Andrew

Bat Hitchhiker by Jon

I don't have a scanner so, if it's possible, they look even better in real life :)

Collective Meet up

Batman in a Day Doodle

Elaine and Jons lovely contributions to my sketch pad! :)

Saturn

The children of Saturn were devoured by their father, who sought to preserve his power and the universal status quo. Zeus escaped, and eventually returned to avenge his brothers and sisters and overthrow the old order. Sound familiar?

Childhood Heroes: 80s dream team.

 

I guess I probably watched too much tv as a kid, but these were (are) my personal favourites.  I reckon there ain't a problem this team couldn't fix.   Penny gadget with her book containing all knowledge, Rainbow Brite with near godess-level powers of life and death, Papa Smurf with his gnomic wisdom and leadership, Ullysses for diplomatic/seduction missions, and of course Optimus Prime for situations that require sheer blunt force trauma.

Incidentally collective thinkers, I found a resource on DA that you might find useful (or at least fun to look at).  It's a mine of old model sheets and concept art for animated tv series and movies.  Here's the link:

how's about we meet up?

Gary & myself have been talking about meeting up and working on some concept art, would anyone here be interested in joining us? How's Tuesday or Friday of next week sound? and then from there we can make it a regular thing.

Here's some Doodles from last night

Now for my crop o sketches, approximately in order of execution, near as I can recollect:

Joker by Ben. To my mind seems reminiscent of the early, "friendlier" Joker, before he was recast as a sociopathic monster.

Cornerface by Elaine. Nice Kirby-esque vibe off this, I feel.

Broody guy by Gary. If you look closely, you'll see him looming in the background of Elaine's sketch, above.

A sketch that may or may not be based on Elaine. If you think that's bad, you should see the ones I did of Andrew and Gary. On second thoughts, maybe you shouldn't.

Some kind of Troll featuring my "default nose" - something I didn't realise I was guilty of till Ben pointed it out!

This is Peter Parker if he had been bitten by a cricket instead of a spider, by Ben. I particularly like the strap-on abdomen. I imagine its sort of like a batman's utility belt. Who knows what delights lie within!

 Gary here... here a few sketches from the other night. First up is a warm up pic that is as badly composed as can be... drawing off the page with loads of room behind. Rookie error.

 Batman sketch, straight marker work so no hiding the mistakes.

 So there was this weird Gerard Depardieu type dude staring at us all night so I just had to draw him... Not really of course... Just a weird sketch out of the ol' imagination.

Ben gave me this excellent brush pen to try out and this is what I did. Again, ink straight on page means all mistakes are forever...

Ben did this brilliant sketch of Spidey in my pad. Loves it! What can I say the boy's talented.

Elaine did this lovely sketch in my pad too. Now this is how to draw a female! Love it!

Dinosaurs

Triceratops: surely the baddest vegetarians ever to walk the earth.

Heroes of the 21st Century

Yoda force-surfing on R2D2. This is in anticipation of the moment, later this century, when Star Wars becomes public domain and we, the people can "fix" it.

Crazy Hobo

Only one of these hobos is actually crazy, but I figure a giant japanese man who can shoot fire out of his hands is probably welcome at most hobo fires.  I also like to think that at some point in his wanderings around america, Ryu must surely have encountered the littlest hobo.

SUGGESTION:  can we edit the settings of the blog to show more posts on the front page?  I think you can have up to 500. What say you, brothers and sisters?

Bad Santa by Jon

Hi folks, thanks for inviting me to participate, here's my effort:

(EDIT - fixed Klingon Nose issue...sort of)
