Big Daddy

And why not another? Technically I did this awhile ago... but I wanted to add more in here for you guys.


Major Bludd

Been busy! But hey there's a G.I. Joe topic and that happened to be my DCC print, so I'm posting it here! Hope you cats dig it.

COBRA!

Big Sister



I went with the vicious antagonist from the second game, the horrific Big Sister. Dang, is she creepy and tough as nails.

From the Unfinished Files - Batman!

Another unfinished piece, from 'Batman' week - this was my rough, but the 'finished' piece seemed to lose everything I liked about the rough, so I dropped the whole thing in what could only be described as a 'tantrum'.  Here it is, for the first time anywhere, Unfinished Batman!

Bio-Shocked

Lol another topic I know nothing about.  I don't play a lot of video games.  I prefer quick, uninvolved games like Mario games or the Lego games that aren't ginormous in scope and I can play for a little bit and put down.  I think video games are cool and I am constantly amazed by each innovation, I just don't get into them.

I didn't look up anything about Bioshock I just google searched the title and looked at some pictures.  There seemed to be a lot of this big guy and this girl.  Not sure of their relationship but everything looked so dreary I thought maybe they could use a good skip.

Anywho, my take on Bioshock.

Predator ... an incredibly late entry to the topic

"Predator" ... acrylic gouache on 11"x14" aquabord by Robert Elrod. Yeah, it's very late but it's a painting and sometimes those take a while to finish (or to get back to to finish). Hope you like it!

MASTER OF DISGUISE Code Name: Zartan!

Probably my favorite GI Joe action figure when I was growing up. Came with a swamp speeder bike, extra faces to change his identity, and his skin turned blue in sunlight! Who could ask for more? Plus, he eventually led the Dreadnoughts, a bunch of punk rock British dudes with chainsaws and flamethrowers. Yeah, this guy was awesome. So here he is!


Drawn in my Moleskine sketchbook with pencil and ink. Colored in Photoshop.

B A R O N E S S


Not much of a G. I. Joe fan. I did the Baroness. Y O, JOE.

What's the Other Half of the Battle?

I was never really into GI Joe as a kid.  I watched the cartoon sometimes but I never got into it.  Still aren't.  Besides Snake Eyes and Cobra Commando I don't really know many of the characters.  

This awesome looking, not at all fetish club looking hunk of Joe villainy is Doctor Mind Bender (what school gave him a PHD in that?) and I know nothing about him other than I couldn't pass up the chance to draw a villain with a monocle.  Come on, not enough villains have monocles nowadays.  

Anywho, I give you (totally awesome cod piece and all) Doctor Mind Bender!

Davros!

I grew up watching Doctor Who...well, I watched it when Tom Baker was the Doctor...and then that jackass with the celery stalk in his lapel came on board...yeah. But one of my favorite villains from Tom Baker's run was Davros...first time you see him, he's all covered in cobwebs. Amazing. So here's my Davros.

Strax the Sontaran

I was going to do an illustration of both the Matt Smith and David Tennant versions of the Doctor, but Tennant kept coming out looking like a Lovecraftian frog-person from Innsmouth and I fucked up the Matt Smith part in the inking.... sooooooo..... decided to go with my favorite Sontaran instead. 

and yes, that's an actual quote. 

I want to see the automated laser monkeys.

t h e D O C T O R

I love Dr. Who! The old and the new, but I have to say Tom Baker's Doctor (the 4th Doctor) is still my fave. Here is my 4th Doctor collection, including The Key to Time series...BALLER!

~Don



Donna and the Adipose

The semester is finally over and I return to the world of the living! Sometimes I really don't think school is worth the bother. Hopefully I'll be able to get back into the routine of posting here. If necessary, I may EXTERMINATE anything that stands in my way.
Anyway,  here's Donna and those adorable lard monsters. I might do another if I have time.

Judoon Foo!

Like Buffy and Firefly, Doctor Who escapes me.  I just can't get into it.  It seems though that I am one of the few people who don't watch this show.  I can't tell you how many Doctor Who posts come by my Facebook feed daily.  I get emails everyday from Shirt Punch and Tee Fury and 9 times out of 10 they are some Doctor Who reference I do not understand.  I am lost in a see of Whovians...  The only Doctor Who (yes I know it is "The Doctor") I am even remotely familiar with is the Tom Baker one because that was the one on PBS when I was a kid.

Anywho I had a really hard time picking what to draw.  I wanted to draw an alien but actually there were a lot of funny looking creatures that would have been fun to draw.  Part of these Timberline topics for me is doing stuff I don't normally do and there were a lot of aliens that looked right up my alley.  So I went with this giant rhino looking dude who apparently is the Judoon.  Has it's own language and everything.  Now I know a little bit more about Doctor Who.  Bring me my scarf.

Rocko's Modern Life - SketchCard Triptych


Sketchcard triptych.  Heffer was supposed to be on the right, but I didn't draw everyone in the correct scale so...yeah...

Marker, colored pencils, & Sharpie.

Timberline Draw Blog Scavenger Hunt

To celebrate Denver Comic Con, the Timberline Draw Blog is having a Scavenger Hunt! The Timberline Draw Blog is a group of Colorado artists who get together each week, and draw a new topic. The work is posted to the blog, timberlinedraw.blogspot.com, for everyone to enjoy. A bunch of the Timberline Draw Blog artists are going to be at DCC in Artist Alley, so why not visit us and participate in our little event!

Visit each of the participating Timberline Draw Blog artists in Artist Alley during Denver Comic Con, and get their FREE Timberline Draw Blog Trading Card. Collect all the cards (one from each participating artist), and show that set to any of the Timberline Draw Blog artists. They’ll take your information down, and you’ll be entered to win!

After the convention, we’ll do a drawing to find the winners, and post them on the Timberline Draw Blog the week after DCC. Winners will also be contacted directly via email to claim your prizes. Here’s what you can win:

Rocko's So Called Life...

Wow this was out of left field lol.  This is why I love this blog.  I couldn't recall the show when I first saw the topic choice but after looking it up I remembered the look of it.  I don't remember watching it much as a kid.  I think my younger brother was into it at the time and that is how I saw what little of it I did.  Looks like one of those bizarre 90's cartoons though.  Love the colors of it.  This is the Gentilcore-fied (?) version of Rocko.


Chatterer-er-er-huh?

Man did life get busy recently.  I started this at ComicFest then got the con crud pretty hard (thank you Scott Springer).  Then I started a new job and moved apartments.  Feels good to be caught up again.

Anywho... This is Chatterer.  I always dug the look of this guy even though he didn't do much in the movies but look menacing.  Don Austin brought up that I should do Pleasure Toast from Venture Bros. and I can't believe I didn't think of that first.  Oh well maybe another opportunity will present itself.  You hunger for it...


Still working on Rocko, but I needed to throw the cenobite themed piece up first. I tried to do it as if it was the last page to a short story. For a pulp novel or dime book haha. I hope it works and sorry about any grammatical errors.
