Post #4...

Gonna be a little light on descriptions for this one, since my EyeLids are startin' feel Pretty Heavy right now...

This is a "Moldie-Oldie" Sketch of Stormy Cat... She was the "Cat-Girl" in a Old Story of mine... Not much to tell now, since She's gone through some Visual and Characteristic Changes since I Sketched this out... NEXT!!!


I was just tryin' out some "CardBored Art"... After I did it, it sat on Norm Dwyer's Desk for over a year... I asked if He would mind if took it home and Scanned it... Needless to say, Norm and Family have moved to Montana and I must find away to get it to Him... Sorry Norm...


I HATE It when I doddle somethin' out with a Word Balloon it, but I can't think of what to write in there... Oh well, I'll think of somethin', someday...


A Little Guy Character I Doodled-Up for a Mock Ad... I might still do It someday, We'll see...


Norm gave me a Japanese Accordian Moleskine SketchBook... I sat on that thing for 2 years without drawin' anythin' in it... I needed to think of a Creative Theme to follow... Turns out, that was a Dumb idea... So, at the TailEnd on 2006, I started to throw down a few lines "here and There"... And, I got this...


Thanks for Stoppin' buy ((Come Back Soon))...

GAH!!! Febuary Post #3 was supposed to get put up last night, but I became preoccupied with Stella and Her Neediness... It's hard to resist Her and Her Puppy Powers... So, here We go...

I've got a couple of "Moldie-Oldies" in this post... First off, is a Dragon I designed back in 2000... It blows my mind that I drew every Scale on this baby... I still haven't found the other ones I did around the same time... They're much less detailed than this one...


"Moldie-Oldie" #2, is of a Character I did several years back for an Animation Group called CATNAP ((Chicago Area Toon Novices and Professionals))... It was started by Norm Dwyer, Kevin larson, and other Chicago based Animators... We had meetin's where We learned about Animation, Showed off whatever projects We were workin' on at the time, and had Guest Speakers within the Industry... The first group project was supposed to be an Animated Short featurin' a "CATNAPPER" ... This is the LiL Guy I turned in... The project never went anywhere, so I stopped goin' to the meetin's...


Just a Grafitti Doodle that got Colored... I still like the colorin' and the letters, but I wish I woulda' paid more attention to that Generic-Ass Character...


A grip of Teddy Bears and a Piggy Marker Doodies... Oh, and a Rice...


Random Warm-Up Sketch of "I Don't Know What"...


For Christmas, my Friend Nicky bought Me the Art of StreetFighter... After lookin' through it, I couldn't help but doodle out a couple of them...


I'll be back later for today's regularly scheduled post...

"Febuary Post # 2"...

A few blogs ago, I posted a page of this Guy... This was one that manage to Sneak passed that post... He's Trouble alright...


I HATE It when I get Art Block... It used to be much worse when I was Younger... When You don't know "WHY" all of the sudden You can't draw anythin'... "WHY" all of the sudden everythin' You put to paper looks like you drew it with Your ButtCheeks... After awhile, one does figure out the little things they can do to get past it... Me, I just have to draw all the "CRAP" outta' my system... This was how I felt for a couple of days last week...


This is the first Cuco! Sketch-A-Roni in a New SketchBook I picked up at Dick Blick's Art Supply a couple of weeks ago... I think it came from hearin' about all the Drama goin' on in BaseBall... I don't follow sports, but I do follow the News... Some of the Sports Stuff must've leaked into my subconcious, and CUCO'ed it's way into my Sketch-A-Roni here... Weird, huh???


I had a Dream about these Animated Clowns (( THANK YOU WEEDAGE!!! ))... These 2 were the only ones I could remember the next day... I LOVE to watch someone who know's how to Juggle, unless they are usin' knives... I always see it goin' wrong, and that person losin' a Finger or Three...


This Clown grabs Bombs outta' his pants and wreaks Havoc everywhere, like most guys I guess...


Seven more to go my Rices... I hope I can keep it goin'...

Damn... Febuary, has been the Crappiest Month of Postin's so far... So let Me kick this off with a New Book Shout Out to Rafael Nieves...

First is "Maneaters" in WideVision Format... Which is a Large Art Spread running across two pages of Text, written by His Raffiness...


Next is "The Phantom Annual 1: 5 Days of the Dragon"... Which has Rafael and a slew of other Talented Writers and Artists... Go out to the nearest Comic Shop and get them...


Here We have some Character Sketches and Color Studies of a Comic Idea Rafael and I had... This goes back to a Doodle of a Teddy Bear Skin that had become inhabited by an Alien that I did a few years back... Raf saw it and created a Sweet Print along with an idea for a story... So, I thought I'd post'em here... We have "It", It's BestFriend "Naomi" and her brother "Omar"...


I was just tryin' to lockdown the look and feel while figurin' out a color palette with this "It" & "Naomi" Color Study...


Workin' out some of "It's" body language...


I suppose I have 8 more days of postin' for this month not too SUCK, entirely... Scanner, don't fail me now...

Later,

Tony

P.S. Go out and Buy those Phantom Comics Now, or You'll make Baby Jesus Weep... You don't want to be that person, do You ???
