"Lost" issue of Nintendo Power

noreply@blogger.com (Geo) — Tue, 21 Jul 2015 14:38:00 +0000

Since I started collecting NES games, one of the neat things has been discovering games I hadn't previously been familiar with. One of my new favorites is Legacy of the Wizard. I wanted to make a guide to this game that looked like it had been a part of the original Nintendo Power. Here is a Howard and Nester comic I made (attempting to mimic the art and style of the early strips) The coloring took a lot longer than the pencils..

You know when you're first learning Photoshop and you use every filter imaginable on one image just to learn what they do? That's pretty much what's going on with me and Modo rendering right now.

Brew... Ha Ha

I just started home-brewing beer and, while I wait for

my first batch to ferment, have been toying around

with beer labels. This one takes its name from the

Spanish explorer for whom part of SF is named.

I started doodling in Flash and,

surprise surprise,
ended up drawing myself.

I like to draw things.
I like to draw things for other people too.
Sometimes though, people ask me to draw things
and me insides start bleeding.

I'm still working on redrawing some ASJ41 characters. This dude was far and away the hardest to do at the time, and that remains the case today. I just can't draw gorillas, which is odd, as I was raised by them.

This isn't finished by any means, but I think I'm going to try and arrange all these things into some kind of group shot (of people falling from the goddamn sky, apparently), and I'm leaving myself room to make adjustments as necessary.

Leela, you got me on my knees...

Been awhile, I'm rusty as shit. Don't tell Kevin I drew this, as I'm always bagging on this show.

Still takin' time to perfect the beat...

And I still got love for the street.

I had a lot more I was going to do with this. Blood spatter everywhere, try to fix those hands, etc. but I'm about to leave work and, honestly, if I don't complete something in one sitting I'll never come back to it.

I've been so goddamn busy lately, I haven't had time to pick up a pencil. I have, however, some how found plenty of time to pick up a controller and play a shit ton of Call of Duty. Pencils are heavier.

At least I did something. Where did the rest of you go?

Junk Drawer...

I found this sketchbook on my bookshelf this morning. I have no recollection of a) buying it or b) doodling any of the sketches inside. Weird. I guess this goes back awhile, as the first page was a "To Do" list from A.P.E. 2005. Anyway, I scanned in the bits and pieces that weren't COMPLETELY embarrassing (meaning, I skipped the first 10-20 pages entirely) and composited them into this:

Some of it's kind of hard to see, and other places have dark grey shadows in the corners. All of that is a result of the book spine not properly fitting on the scanner.

This stuff here is kind of a hodge podge of junk I had laying around. A lot of it is comprised of the tiny thumbnail sketches I've been basing my recent Illustrator pieces off of, others are doodles I scanned with that intention, but ultimately bailed on or never got around to.

And finally, this was another Weekly Sketch Group thing I did for PencilJack, but never posted here.

That's supposed to be the 1939 incarnation of Batman, hence the purple gloves and the smooth, refreshing taste of a cigarette after whupping some assholes'...asshole. Seeing as how I drew it, this struggle, of course, took place off camera and in no discernable environment whatsoever.
