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...

Later,

Tony

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 ???
