Don't Fear the Ripper

Another day, another 30 minutes of Fury. This time, The Grim Ripper from Guitar Hero gets the fury treatment. With the exception of the left foot, I really like this one. I have no complaints. Actually no wait, that's a crappy looking guitar pick he has there. Oh yes, and that guitar is floating, just like it does in the game. Hooray!

A Return to Form

Since I've started posting again, this is the first true 30 minute sketch I've done. Hooray! I think it turned out pretty well. When I was thinking about what I should draw I had just watched the Metal Gear 20th Anniversary Video. Made me have a hankerin' for some MGS character sketching. I was going to do Snake since it's been so long since I've done him, but looking at the blog thus far, I haven't drawn a single female character, so I put Snake on the hold list for now and threw down on this Meryl in the same brush pen/blue pencil style I've done on the last few.

Her head seems too big now that I look at it. But not because her hair is huge, it's supposed to be huge. It just seems like the face looks big you know? Oh well. It's why I'm doing this, to get better right? Oh, and the gun look ricockulously bad. I had no reference to speak of.

20 Minutes for a God

This one I ended up putting a good 20 minutes into. At first I was going to do 15, but it just didn't do it the justice I wanted, so I tacked on a fiver. It's still less than 30 minutes, so it doesn't matter anyway. I essentially drew the same way I did yesterday, Blue line, then Brush pen. Looks good. Not a Bad hand if I do say so myself. I was actually quite happy with that. Overall I like the drawing. The hat looks kinda crooked. Ah well. Can't win em all.

P.S.: It's Rayden.

More like 10 Minutes of Fury...

Well it's the start of a new year, and I just happened to draw something today. This was the first thing I've put pen to paper in 2008, and you know what? I thought I should post it. Did it take me half an hour to do? No. I think I may start doing 10 minutes then boost it up to 15 then 20, just to get back into the swing of things.

So what is this? It's the Vulnerable Snowman. While at work, someone was talking about the Abominable Snowman, and someone misheard, instead hearing "Vulnerable Snowman." I was asked to draw a sad shell of a snowman. Here he is. In his sadness. For a simple ten minute drawing, I like it. I did it in blue pencil and brush pen. I liked how this worked out, and I may try it again in more drawings. Hooray!

Also note: I clearly put 2007, then realized it was 8. FUN.

"I like Laughing"

Roach from Heavenly Sword. I just beat him in the third chapter of the game and I felt compelled to draw this misunderstood character. Roach has the misfortune of being the mentally slow, deformed offspring of the game's main villian. He's verbally berated and abused throughout the game, and by the end of this chapter You really feel for him. Or at least I did anyway.

In the Drawing I tried to make him sad and wanted the overall feeling to be symphathetic of the character. oops. I just made him look retarded. Nice Job Me. I tried something different this time, doing the entire drawing in pencil, but adding some touches of red via pencil crayon. I think it looks like I just smudged spaghetti sauce over it. It doesn't convey the mood I wanted. It's a very generic dawing of a very fat man. Terrible job all around I think. :(

I like you. That's why I'm going to kill you last.

So apparently I'm drawing Guerrilla Style. In this case, I drew this sketch while my friends ate grilled cheese sandwiches around me on some scrap paper and the first available pencil. Since we were talking about Commando, the group decided I should Draw Matrix, Arnold's Character from Commando. So I did. I couldn't stop saying One liners from the movie while I drew it. Especially "You want to put the knife in me!". Good Times. Not a bad sketch. The eyes worked really well I think.

Now for the negatives. 1) I can't draw hands. This trend continues. 2) What the hell is with his pants? It was like effort stopped there. Ah well. 3)Where's His other nipple? I didn't care but the audience had a major problem with it apparently.

Hail to The King Baby

So quite a change with this one. I didn't do it with Pencil, instead I inked it straight away. This was done out of lack of pencil, but overall it turned out quite nicely. I may try this again for the next entry.

So I present to you Ash of Evil Dead fame. I did this with no reference whatsoever, explains why the chainsaw looks like absolute ass.

The Outrageous Spider-Boy!

Well when I said I was going to focus on characters I never drew before, I meant it. Spider-Boy was a product of the Amalgam Comics Marvel DC crossover. Spider-man and Superboy mashed together into an new ooey gooey character. I almost had the same problem as the last drawing, instead of taking to long with the chain, it was with the web pattern. I thought I might have had even less than last time at one point. Criticism wise, not too bad, though the fingers on the right hand are clearly twice the size of the left's. I'll have to pay more attention to that in the future.

Demon Castle Dracula

Ricther Belmont, of the Dracula slaying Belmonts, specifically from Dracula X and Rondo of blood (Rondo means something musically. What I couldn't tell you.)

The Drawing went well. The thing with it is that I spent WAY too long dinking around with the chain whip. That's why one of the greatest vampire slayers of all time has no legs. So you probably won't see me drawing too many Spawns or Ghost Riders anytime soon. The pose looks very similar to the Bat Hombre posting I did a week ago. Not intentional. Apparently I need to vary my positioning a little more. I don't think this'll be my last attempt at one Richter Belmont...

More than Meets the Fry

Yea I haven't updated in a week. I know. I'm terrible. No excuses.

On to the Drawing!

This is Optimash Prime. The Transformer Mr Potato head. A friend of mine recently gave me one of the real ones. At first I was like "why would I ever want this?" Twenty minutes later and it was the coolest thing I ever owned. It grows on you. Anyway not a bad drawing if I do say so myself. This Picture really needs a background I think. Him firing off his little gun needs something else around it. I was running out of time getting the legs done, so I figured legs were more important than the background.
