Princess Jellyfish Review:

Every female nerd should watch this series. Seriously, this show does an AMAZING job of capturing the dynamic of a bunch of oddball, dorky chicks living under one roof. It’s hard to articulate my love for this show in a traditional review, so I’ll just be lazy and make a list of reasons why I think this should be required viewing for everyone…

I'll do a real review of this movie later on. But for now, have a goofy fan-comic!

Also, this should go without saying, but this comic contains major spoilers for the end of the movie.

( Silly fan-comic under the cut.... )

It’s been a while since I practiced on my new tablet. So I went and colored a simple sketch to play around with a fun idea I had.



Regarding Baloo’s design: I know that the “John Goodman look” fits his character/voice the best. That’s why pretty much every artist who humanizes the characters (myself included) has used that type of design. However, it occurred to me that, since Baloo and Shere Khan kept their Indian-sounding names from The Jungle Book, it technically makes more sense for their human dopplegangers to look Indian.
Also, I’m pretty sure no one else has drawn him like this before. So, +1 for originality. LOL

Tl;dr my goal with this one was to make Baloo look like an “Indian John Goodman”. I hope I succeeded.

Naga would totally eat up Halloween (and it's abundance of "Sexy [Whatever] Costumes").

And in case you couldn't tell from my messy scribbles, Lina and Gourry are dressed up as Xena and Gabrielle respectively.

A few weeks back, I was watching a friends daughter while she took care of some stuff at work. To keep her occupied, I brought out my sketchbook and asked her for comic ideas. This is what she came up with...

First she asked for Spongebob. And I apologized to her for my inability to draw him properly (I haven't watched the show in years)




Then she told me all about the Lego Batman Movie she watched the night before (I didn't even know that movie existed!). And started asking for Batman comics. And that's when things got fun!

First, she wanted a Batgirl drawing:




Then she asked me to draw Catwoman running away from a police man and a dog:

Kid commissions are fun!! :)

ART POST!!

First up, random Inspector Sly Cooper AU series (because I've been neglecting that poor thing)




Next up, a "how it should have ended" comic for the China level of Sly 3.
I decided to try my hand at doing a "How it should have ended" AU in storybook form instead of a comic. Basically, I just put in random scenes and images and accompanied them with text descriptions. It was pretty fun and it allowed me to be less self-concious about how polished the drawings look. Since most of my art gets done at work (where I can't use my fancy light box and T-ruler), I can't really do a lot of polished things these days.

First up, the surprisingly non-awful scratch/brain-storming scribbles:
( brainstorm! )

A.U. COMIC

I adore the original Sly Cooper trilogy. However, one of it's few flaws is the fact that there aren't many female protagonists (though Sly 2 has one of the most awesome female villains EVER). And you rarely see two female characters interact. So I thought it would be fun to re-write one of the storylines in the third game to give the girls stuff to do together.

Good News: I managed to find my favorite brand of doodle pens (which I believed weren't being made anymore) on a Wal-Mart shelf

Bad News: The packages only came in wacky colors (no plain black ones). So expect some rainbow colored sketches for a while



More random test pics:

First up, a scene from the Sly Cooper AU I'm working on with Jo & Stu...




( More rainbow scribbles under the cut.... )

Don't worry Jo & Stu! I didn't forget! I just got distracted by life. ^_^;

For those who don't know, I've been collaborating with earthstar_moon and gullwhacker to make an AU-version of Sly Cooper 4 because the actual Sly Cooper 4 was sexist and horrible. So far, we've just thrown together short stories and random doodles. But it's a very fun and cathartic way to vent some steam and imagine how good a forth game could have been if it wasn't written by perverted furries.

Onto the brainstorms!

EVERY comment in this cartoon is based on DA comments and notes that I've actually received.

Sadly, a frightening amount of people seem to think that an artist's time has no value and that it's a personal slight if we don't IMMEDIATELY draw a stranger's random art request. And a LOT of people also seem to think that it's perfectly okay to send unsolicited requests to draw gross fetish/porn art to artists that clearly aren't into that sort of thing.

I'm grateful that people like my work. But it would be nice if I didn't get so many creepy comments and requests.

Please forgive my incompetence at drawing Duck characters. But I just had to express my love for them in art form!




I've beaten this game twice already. I bought a PS3 just so I could play it and it was worth EVERY PENNY!! It's like experiencing a lost episode of the original cartoon!

If you love Ducktales, Disney, old school gaming, and/or beautiful hand-drawn animation, BUY THIS GAME NOW! The sprites are GORGEOUSLY animated and replicate both the look of the cartoon and the feel of the 1989 video game flawlessly. And, for all the people who just want to experience the story without the sadistic old-school NES difficulty, there's an Easy Mode available to play.

And yes, the iconic money bin is a mini-game that you get to swim around in! :)


RANDOM GUSHING!!!

In short, BUY THIS GAME AND BUY IT NOW!!!!
It's hella fun. And if it sells well, maybe we'll get a remake of the equally awesome 1989 Rescue Rangers NES game. And I want this to happen more than you will ever know!! ^_^
