Stupid no comment thingy!

School's Out for Summer!!

OK... It has been WAY too long since my last post. I plan to do a lot more this summer since, eventhough I still have some commitments with work, I can squeeze in more "drawing for me" time. I decided to mess around with markers during last night's Weekly Sketchnight here in Ottawa. We were 36 this time, and it was a blast!! So anyway, markers are not my strong suite but I thought I'd post what I did nevertheless. I have to admit that markers (with a dash of pastels and pencils) are a lot of fun. The Zombie I tinted in photoshop.

let me know what you think!

I think I messed up the comments part... ooops!!

HyperBug

The Hyperbug received its misleading name from the first series of digital/video recordings from unmanned-probes on the northern continent of planet F4459. Their near-constant vibrating bodies seemed to indicate a dizzying metabolism, frantic personality or perhaps a form of natural defense to indigenous predators.

It was only decades later, when the first series of manned explorations of this planet, that they discovered a graceful creature that seemed to dance in the wind, almost like a manta ray with legs. It was initially thought to be a new species. The connection was later made that the creature was reacting to certain high pitches/frequencies of sound. This caused the erratic movements of the Hyperbug. They process the sound waves through a hyper sensitive sensor that is lodged inside a multi-orificed organ wedged between its upper wings and back. The early unmanned-robo-prodes and their anti-grav engines emitted high frequency noises that triggered the Hyperbugs to vibrate and run about in clusters. That is why all of the initial digital video footage and data was fuzzy and distorted. The automated cameras of the robo-probes simply could not keep up.

The final quirk to this strange creature is that they produce a near identical high pitch noise (emitted by the probes) during their mating season. Many scientists hypothesize that the unmanned robo-probes from decades past are directly responsible for the current disproportionate population of the Hyperbug.

Unmanned robo-probes are currently banned from Planet F4459.

Additional note: This creature’s recent behavioral discoveries have prompted the slang “Doin da HyperBug” with adolescents and adults.

Ambush Body Snapper

The Unknown Soldier who took this picture (approximately 1909) wrote a brief but cryptic hand written description of this improbable event:

This beast hid in the sandbags. Some believed that it was responsible for stacking the sandbags at odd places in the trenches. This thing would attack sentries on the night shift when they were alone. It is pure luck that I managed to take this picture. It lunged out, and ate/crushed 2/3 of Private Jenson. The face area started to suction its tongue with teeth back into itself. I think that the cannons and explosions of this unholy war may have wakened this foul ambush body-snapper from the bowels of hell itself. May god have mercy on our souls!

It's marking season again.. so it is difficult to post again.. But I promised to post more!! So here is a little something. I'm not happy with this, but at least I posted something!! Woo-hoo!!

In this situation, no one wins

T-rex looking Machine.

The idea came from DSG 1319. This is my interpretation.

Dragon Refuelling

Every now and then, every hundred years or so, a dragon must return to its birth place,the lava nest where thousands of domant egg lay in wait for their turn to dominate the earth. A dragon returns to replenish the chemicals needed to produce fire. It will digest gallons of white hot lava for months.

Or the dragon is throwing up... it's your call.

MiniSketchBook Stuff

I had the opportunity to sketch people at a little shin-dig at our church last Sunday. It was the church's 40th anniversary. I am pleased to announce that the Hitler-stache is making a strong comeback. Who knew?

Another one... I'm on a roll!!

Drinker

AS I drew this one, I came to realize that he was severely lit. So I gave him a bottle and let him fulfill his destiny.

This one gave me abit of a hard time in terms of painting it. Hopefully it looks okay.
