Runner up

Yay, my demoman poster was selected as a runner up in the team fortress 2 propaganda contest.

This was slapped together in couple of hours, I wish I had more time to come up with a better slogan, but it was

still a lot of fun.

Ok... I've got a little time on my hands while I wait for the corporate hivemind to approve some designs...
Join me on a little journey of self critique.
Lets get started.

Right then...got a little silhouette of the general idea, a few scribbles, a basic line of action...

It's another pyro! yay! But something doesn't feel right...

Silhouette check! Ergh! Those arms aren't really reading as well as they're supposed to. Looks like he's got a freakish hat on or something.

Ok... Twisted the arm around, little foreshortening, this would probably work. Except it looks kinda boring doesn't it? The guy is just standing there... And I really don't like the way the volumes on his body worked out. Lets try this again.

*skecth*sketch* Cleaner line of action, a lot more dynamic, yea this is probably better.

Let me just flesh it out.

Thar we go. Much better. Lets render the bastard!

Apologies to everyone I owe drawings to, time's been in short supply recently. I believe there's a dragon and a gas mask mutant guy, that should be done by now... They're in the incubator, slowly gestating.

Space Rock

2007-06-01T14:53:00.000+01:00

Besides being trained in the deadly arts, Space Marines are also known to occasionaly break out mind shattering guitar solos in the midst of battle, boosting their comrades morale and intimidating their foes with their majestic space rock awesomeness.
This particular specimen is just warming up.

Don't know how many of you have played guitar hero, but to say that the game has a rather steep dificulty level is an understatement, what this guy does at around the 2:30 mark when the solo kicks in is inhuman...

Also, as a supplement to the last post, heres a list of cartoon openings, all of them a little less obscure than Les Mondes Engloutis.

Arkana

2007-05-29T18:44:00.001+01:00

This one's been sitting on the desktop for a while now. Finished it yesterday.
Arkana was a character from an old french cartoon called Les mondes engloutis which I watched as a kid. Back then it fascinated me, now I can't remember much about it.
There was a guy called Spartacus, two kids and some weird yellow armadillo things and they were all looking for something. It had a cool weird euro sci-fi vibe to it. It's one of those shows that I'd rather keep as a nostalgic memory, because I have a suspicion the animation doesn't quite hold up nowadays. I recall lots of recycled loops and whatnot.
Ahh that theme song takes me back...

Brains!

2007-05-13T13:57:00.000+01:00

Fear my deadly alien brain in a jar spider mecha thing...
Still work in progress, it'll soon be on a poster.

I've always enjoyed villains that were essentialy an evil brain, there's something endearing about watching a villain trying to get by without the aid of superficial things, you know... like bodies, it adds a whole new level of challenge to the whole conquer/destroy the world/universe thing.
And with that in mind, I now present you with a brief anthology of villanous brains (jar optional):

Krang - evil brain from dimension X! for me this is probably were it all began, this petite pink villain from TMNT entertained me for quite a few of my childhood saturday mornings. Technically he had an android body, but he rode around in its stomach(!), sweet...

Mother Brain - the fearsome final boss of the Metroid series. Which I first saw, in a rather atrocious "reinterpretation", on the Captain N TV show. Fortunately, thanks to emulators, I rediscovered the real thing.

The Biologic Computer - third boss of the mega-drive game, The Revenge of Shinobi, which I played a lot off back in the day. Not really much to it, its a brain... in a jar... in some sort of metal shell thing... It shoots lasers at you... which is cool, I guess.

Uncle Irvin - actually I don't remeber if this guy was a villain... but he is a brain, in a fish tank no less. He was a character in the french film, City of the Lost Children.

Herman von Klempt - An evil nazi scientist from the Hellboy comics, he still has his whole head, but does indeed, reside inside a jar.

And these are all I can remember from the top of my head... I think I'm missing a few.

The Madness Lives On

2007-04-22T19:29:00.000+01:00

For two long weeks the bunny lay suspended in the grim depths, neither alive nor truly dead. Until at last, by the will of the ancient ones, he was granted the cupcake of destruction! One bite of this forbidden delicacy and his essence was consumed by a swirling torrent of fury, his decaying body pulsated and twisted as it transformed, becoming the vessel through which a vile creature of ancient days would be reborn!
Lord Easthor lived again!
He advanced mercilessly against those who had banished him, all who gazed upon his horrific form were left with their minds shattered. Within hours the whole island was under the rule of Easthor, and its helpless inhabitants turned into rabbit zombie slaves.
A new dark age had begun...

Yea, I suddenly remembered radioactive cupcakes were part of this equation.
Up for some figure drawing? Pose Maniacs has a neat little 30 second drawing flash app, the pose will change every 30 secs. Grab a sketchbook and think fast! Its not exactly life drawing, but hey its better than nothing.

Easter Doom

2007-04-08T16:59:00.000+01:00

Alas! Poor easter bunny. Tired of his incomprehensible oviparous behaviour and fueled by suspicion and paranoia, the rabbit community of easter island decide to put an end to his deviant and dubious unnatural ways. Chasing him across the full extend of their domain, they finally corner him and cast him into the watery abyss. Having purged their island of all non-conforming chocolate egg producing behaviour, there was much rejoicing.
But not for the easter bunny... Sinking deeper and deeper into the darkness, he felt only mind shattering panic, the murky depths crushing the life out of him. And at last, as the freezing water filled his lungs, death came...
And yet he was not dead! Surrounding him, as he lay on the sea floor, were the grim visages of ancient stone figures, hideous depictions of ancient gods, fadded remnants of a long forgotten age. They whispered to him in strange tongues, uttering wild and mad promises. Promises of new life, promises of power... promises... of revenge!...

Muahahaha!
Well, that was fun...
I think i'll top it of with a couple of saber battles:

2007-02-02T21:13:00.000Z

This thing was originaly supposed to be for last weeks illustration friday, but I kinda got carried away... I think this is the first time I've ever drawn a horse, it came out alright, a little oversized maybe... Damn quadrupeds.

Check out Afro Samurai, a project i'd first heard about yeeeears ago finally happened. It has plenty of sword slashing, blood gushing samurai action, interesting character designs and some slick animation by studio gonzo. Samuel L. Jackson voices the main character, and from what I understand also produced the series. The only real problem with it is "plot" if you want to call it that, It tends to boil down to just about every samuray revenge cliché you can think of... Then again anything that mixes feudal japan with cowboys , cellphones, and robots with giant frickin' lasers if fine in my book. Dig around the website and you'll find a couple of clips hidden way.

I have no idea what to do with this guy... I worked him out from a little sketch I liked, now I'm sort of stuck.
His design looks a tad cliché, no? Like he's the bastard child of wolverine and vegeta...
I contemplated pitting him against a savage, yet well spoken, civilization of antropomorphic reptiles. Which he would battle in blood stained arenas and dense primeaval jungles. Maybe throw in some sexy amazon women, who knows...
I'll put him on ice for the time being.
Any thoughts?

Inspiring tales of insanity,
Working at disney must really do things to your mind, apparently one Phil Nibbelink, ex-disney animator, took it upon himself to make his own feature film. Alone. Solo. As in by himself, no team, no studio, nothing. 5 years later, here he is, with a 77 minute long fully animated feature, all 112.000 drawings done entirely by him... Read all about it. All I can say is: Wow!

Also Adam Phillips, whose work i've linked before, has decided to make one 10 second animation a day, every day, and post it on his site. The kind sir, also provides the occasional fla file, so that we may all learn something. Truly inspiring.

Depending on how much fun you have been having on these most summerish of months, some of you may or may not have noticed a decline in the regularity in which stuff gets posted on my dank little corner of the interweb.
It, of course, has nothing to do with any lack of dedication or interest on my part, but rather my increasing responsibilities as a freelance illustrator/flash animator tend to rob me of considerable amounts of time.
Yea... that and I get really lazy when the temperature exceeds 30ºC... moving my body becomes such a drag...

Flash is becoming the bane of my existence, I show up at prospective clients/employers, with my dainty little folio, they flick through it, then notice my flash work, and go "oh! you can animate! excelent" and i'm all like "but I want to paint pretty pictures!" to which they respond "nonsense boy! you will make flashy things for us, now go!". Its not that I don't appreciate the work, but still... sigh...

A little known fact about portugal is its healthy population of giant marine beavers.
Remember that old godzilla hanna-barbera cartoon? the godzilla power hour or whatever, where these scientists dudes would actually summon godzilla using some sort of communicator. And godzilla would always have to save them from whatever giant mutant lobster/sandworm/porcupine that showed up, hungry for human flesh. I theorize that the scientists (i forgot their names... i think it was a whole family of 'em), were actually holding godzookie hostage, threatening to do a biopsy on the little tyke if godzilla didn't obey their every whim...

Not that i had any particularly high expectations for the film... but this pimp my autobot look is making me rather queasy... Whenever I think Optimus Prime, the first thing that pops into my head is: big red truck. I don't think its that hard a concept to get right... But instead we get big black with fire decals truck, its just wrong... that and the four foot soundwave... whats up with that?

The Thief and The Cobbler , Richard William's never completed film, has some of the most awesome 2D animation i've ever seen. Not sure what killed the project, either Williams excessive perfectionism, or Warner Bros lack of faith, read about it here.

Cyclopean Cake

Behold the mighty forbidden cake of the gods!
My entry for this weeks Illustration Friday.

No idea

2006-05-29T12:43:00.000+01:00

Not that I had a comic idea anyway so... no harm.
Har har funny.

I present: "Manga style. The rant"

Yea its neat and all, I occasionaly drift towards it, and I was really into it a couple of years ago, back when it was "underground". But these days the whole Manga look seems a tad overused and abused, I mean a walk through the grocery store and see manga characters on packets of toilet paper...

Loads of people do it, its fundamentals are pretty easy to learn, but to actually do something original or creative with the style... hum not so easy. There's still some pretty looking stuff being done, don't get me wrong. But I always get the feeling i've seen it all before...

end of rant

Purdy... Links, links, links (it'll take me weeks to check all these out...)

addendum: oh thank you weta workshop, you just made my week. KILLER SHEEP!! hahahahahaha

Orthogastropoda

2006-05-26T17:55:00.000+01:00

Hurm... I know what I want for christmas, giant gastropods are going to be the new fad once genetic engineering goes mainstream... you'll see.

An interesting looking comic has sprung forth from the (highly outlandish) partnership between Disney and Slave Labor Graphics, its called Wonderland, have a look.

Casshern, visual overkill, and at 141 minutes running time it streches a little thin plotwise. Also a good example of how to over use Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata...

Urgh... I need more caffeine...

Conquest and forgotten items

2006-05-24T16:01:00.000+01:00

...effectively locking himself out, a wearisome ordeal i can assure you.
I think I over-painted that cape...
After some psychiatric therapy, Cyril got back on his feet, and, as you can see, rounded up an army of copy-pasted robots, will he attain victory? Only time will tell...

Yup... earth's got a bad case of the humans. Best animated short i've seen in quite a while (via drawn).

Puke yer guts out

2006-05-22T13:51:00.000+01:00

Ok...
Hum...

Well it was a heck of a lot of fun to draw, I can tell you that...
Inspired by some kid at the mall, having a coughing fit.

Snort! Pff hehehehehe, oh my... People could get away with wearing anything in the 80's, still its nice to know ManOwar did it for "the kids". *sustains laughter* I'm not exactly sure what dead animal they're wearing...

Yum... animation

GIANT OCTOPUS RUN!!

pwned

2006-05-18T11:10:00.000+01:00

Truly, videogames bring out the best in people...
Original dialogue was severly edited and toned down, to make it more... family friendly, ya know...
Rumor has it, our mighty battle cries could be heard echoing through the streets below us.

I present: Beatallica! the only true way to listen to beatles... muahahahaha! kudos to mario for introducing me to this little gem...

Err... and because I feel like it, here's a clip from Mazinger Z. C'mon, who doesn't like giant robots?

Unknown Perils of the Artic Circle

Bah... go read something fun...

Character Study

2006-05-12T15:50:00.000+01:00

Didn't have time to make a proper comic today... so you get this lil' fella, a character for comic idea nº 847 ...
Actually, since someone else wrote this particular comic, its odds of materializing are considerably larger than my own stuff. So many projects... I hear them whimpering in the cold night, begging for a chance to crawl out of the abyss that is my mind.
Currently writing an epic comic involving giant gastropods, engaging stuff i assure you...

Prestons Blair's Animation (1st edition) lovingly scanned, humm *absorves knowledge

Uwe Heidschoetter pretty pretty sketchies

Joe Loves Crappy Movies ...he really does...

I'm begining to hate the color of that kids shirt....

Great Unanswered Questions

2006-05-10T11:57:00.000+01:00

Why? Because I can...
My money's on Conan, but i've been proven wrong before, Kant's a sneaky little bastard...
I'm thinking of pitting Nietszche against Chuck Norris, or Aristotle vs the Hulk :D

Here's a video of a guy getting attacked by giant flesh eating rabbits. They just don't make movies like this anymore...
Sweet.

A big head's up to animator extraordinaire, and all round great guy, Ricardo Silva, old comrade of mine, do check out the sample of his work on his blog. Groovy stuff.
Hell... since i'm sending out props, if yer into the hardcore "scene" take a gander at Killing Frost, the band of André "edge" Oliveira (and associates), download the sample tracks, turn 'em up real loud and piss off your neighbours.
Damn I miss you people... *goes all mushy* snirfle

Aaaand... were back

2006-05-08T11:09:00.000+01:00

Well... glad that's over (sort of), little Timmy,his cohort and all their foul bretheren are dead, my gums should return to their normal size soon.

Banksy, pure stencil genius.

Scourge

2006-05-04T11:20:00.000+01:00

Character studies... also an accurate visual metaphor of what my head felt like yesterday, that coupled with a delightfull gum inflamation seems to have drained my willpower to make comics... nothing seems funny... or even mildly entertaining. And I had quite a few ideas too... mostly involving lasers and hedgehogs and barfights...

But enough about me, lets talk about... hum...

...

This wonderfull device, watching in in action does wonders to take my mind of the pain, its a sort of digital artistic nirvana, just looking at it is cathartic. (via penny-arcade).

I leave you with a creepy bunny.

Ergh... I hate drunk sincerity, if you're reading this dude... you know who you are... face me when you're sober.
I learnt how to discharge lethal amounts of spiritual energy from this shaman guy once, a power I rarely use... it totaly wrecks my hair :D
The shaman used this power to heat his beer... yea... shamans like warm beer... I don't... I find it disgusting.

Wrath of the Easter Bunny

2006-04-19T09:34:00.000+01:00

And in a final tragic attempt to end its torment, the poor little easter bunny cast itself from the tallest mountain on the island, only to fall into a pit of radioactive sugar frosted cupcakes, thus becoming Easthor, the gargantuan rabbit god of the fearsome flesh reaping pink bunnies. Its mutated mind twisted and its sanity shredded its is now a saddistic beast of evil whose only purpose is chaos.

Are our furry blue heroes capable of defeating this fearsome foe? What perils await them on easter island? And why cupcakes, when so many other radioactive materials could have been chosen? Stay tuned!

It came from above

2006-04-18T12:47:00.000+01:00

Eek!
Well ya never know how much you'll really miss the internet till you have to spend five days without it...

Lack of Focus

2006-04-12T11:47:00.000+01:00

Noo... i don't want to design websites, my layouts suck, its dull and boring waaaah! I want to draw! I want to draw ninjas, and zombies and giant robots, alien invaders, sub-human creatures with translucent skin, i want to draw pretty things, ugly things, wierd things, I want to draw rabbits, submarines, tombstones, vampires, frickin' lovecraft, laser swans from saturn, hell... i want to draw my lunch.

And yet here I am... staring at photoshop, hoping a website layout will magically materialise in front of me...

Oh my...

2006-04-11T11:06:00.000+01:00

Well... that was fun.
Man I love my job... a new adventure everyday...

Tales from the Sketchbook

2006-04-10T11:13:00.000+01:00

Sitting on a varanda at 4am, people around me doing...stuff, while I ponder the mysteries of the bright orange street light that shines in front of me and sketch... crap... people... polaroids? whatever the hell they are...

I actually had a comic for today but I really don't like how it turned out, I think i'll burn it.
Spent the weekend drawing and animating cute cuddly critters for this freelance job thing... I better get paid for it... I never want to see a cute cuddly critter again... EVER!
