Raccoongasm: CALViN! Meets Shelly

To somewhat celebrate the union of my colors with Robbie's comics, I decided to do a picture of my mascot, CALViN! Coonidge meeting his Shelly character in the desert. As always, though I may not have mentioned it before, CALViN! makes friends by presenting them with some sort of explosive...all the time. It could be anything from a bomb, a stick of dynamite or an exploding trout. I decided to go with a cartoon bomb this round, as the exploding trout could get...stinky.

Phone Home Already!

A few days ago I promised my boy Michael Wiggin an alien pic, because I was posting art like crazy and couldn't figure out what else to draw...and he suggested aliens. Since I didn't have any at the time, other than some old sketches, seems like my collection was missing aliens altogether. So this, will be the first alien image in my gallery EVER, and I owe it all to Michael!

Glow

Another image based on some of Sarah's stock. I changed up quite a bit as I only needed the pose for the reference.

Metroid: Primed

Another old Metroid picture I drew. Yeah, this one took quite a while as well. I like to take my time when coloring Metroid fan art, or else my buddy Ryan would break my legs in several places. Metroid is one of those things that needs to be handled with care and worshipped. It's perfect in every way, even if the game is hard as balls to beat..well, for me anyway, and that was probably a bad comparison too...yuck.

Beyond Good and Yade

Here was my final entry in this year's past Project Green. Again, I decided to cel shade Jade, or "Yade", lol, and partly ink the background, adding effects later. The far background is painted. It's actually the VERY first background I did for my VERY first Jade picture years and years ago for my friend Andrew's birthday present. A few months after posting it I was invited to be part of the BGE Club on DeviantArt, and have been an active member ever since. This was another attempt to dress her up in something other than her usual outfit, but keeping the same color scheme, and incorporating things from the game, such as the "SYSTEM 4" text on her sleeve.

Beyond Good and Jade

Another entry of Jade to this year's past Project Green. I love this character so much, that if someone gave me enough money, I'd hire a team of fantastic animators over at TMS, the writers from Batman The Animated Series and produce 6 continuous seasons of a Beyond Good and Evil animated series, made for primetime viewing. Sadly, that will probably never happen, so this is the next best thing...a gallery full of Jade fan art. This one, I did something a little different than usual. Instead of painting my background on a seperate layer, I actually inked it with the rest of the image and applied some effects to it to seperated Jade from it. I like it, actually.

Beyond Good and Animated

This was an entry to Project Green 2009. No, that's not some ecologically sound organization...instead it's homage to one of the hands down, bad-assest games ever produced on a home console since the Castlevania series. Yes, I'm talking about Ubi Soft's Beyond Good and Evil. Highly praised by everyone who's played it, there's no wonder why a sequel is finally on the way. Sales for the first game weren't so great when it was realeased, partly because it was released side by side with a few more popular titles, but over the years, people have come to realize what a horrible mistake they made by not buying it on release day. Every year, I try to do a least 2 or 3 images in honor of Jade, the game's main character. This time I tried imagining it as an animated series by making what looks like it could be an animation cel.

Tempo's in the House

Yes, sadly, I was one of those kids with a Sega 32X attachment that mades my Genesis look like a black box with a black plastic mushroom cloud on it, but at the same time, there were a few gems on the system. Tempo, developed by RED, was one of them. To this day, the animation in this game is very smooth, almost Disney-esque and better than the hand drawn sprites of today. The soundtrack is very much like The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, but hey, that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Mario Comic Preview


So recently I'd been coloring pinups for my friend Robbie Allen. I've known Robbie for some years now and every now and then I hit him up on AIM or on DeviantArt. Well, after coloring about 5 of his Capcom fan-art pieces, he asked if I'd like to be his official colorist for his comic strips. Being the most awesome interstellar creature in the galaxy that I am, of course I agreed. This is the top panel of the strip, which is a parody of two things. I won't show any more of it cause you'll no doubt be able to see the whole thing over at Robbie's site, Artificial Orange.
I'm also working on logo designs for Robbie's studio as well, so I'm gonna be quite busy...quite busy indeed. And Ghostbusters on PS3 doesn't help my situation either, lol!

Felicite

Sarah let me use some of her new stock as reference for a character in this unnamed series...I guess this would be the girl's mother...the little girl from the post below this one, lol...

Je Finalement Trouve cela

So I had this picture in my head to draw a tomboyish little girl exploring the top of a mountain her folks probably warned her about several times...because of the insane dragon living there, but she just had to go searching for a legendary relic...
