Chirp and a Chop concepts

Just an Idea of my chubby executioner's carriage.

I kinda like the chubby innocent guy who can't fit into the the mask. I think he would have a rough time giving someone the axe.

I was thinking there should be a squad of executioners, so here are a couple different looks.

Some executioner silhouettes

A centurion-ish look

I would hate to have my head in a vice, actually I think I should take the vice idea a bit further.

Bald and Yeti

Just some sketches.

I found these on my camera

Done with vine charcoal these had to be erased from the walls to allow for the next show, but I'm glad somebody took pictures of them. They were a lot of fun to draw, if we ever get out of this basement I'm gonna have an office with a huge blank wall or wall sized dry erase board.

So a badgerman a werechicken and a hoofed-lizard mammal walk into a bar

Rats

Sometimes you just need to draw a crazed pitchfork wielding rat.

just another bear

This is a work in progress. With this one I'm trying to focus on not throwing in as much anatomy detail, just trying to make a simple, bear character...or bearachter...or even better a brer...just less detail and maybe more implied detail. If that makes sense.

Sketch dump

Nocerus

I draw this guy at the zoo sometimes...and I must say, the proportions here are spot on.

Geh...mm..eh...

This is my sister Missy

Some stuff I touched up after my BFA Show

Blob drawing

This paintin is the result of a blob that kinda resembled a chimp. I sure wish I woulda painted in a background layer first, but you never know with blobs.

Taz-Dingo!

I sometimes live in the World..........of Warcraft. There are some glaring problems here with lighting and actually probably some perspective too, but I plan on fixing those when I give him his body and armor. So just consider it a work in progress/something to post.

Day Dreaming Redo

Earlier I drawr'd an executioner leaning on his axe and day dreaming of being a ballerina (or is it ballerino?). I had very little time to create it and wasn't able to do it justice. This picture is a little different content-wise, but I was able to put the time into it that I wanted.

Berry Scary

The getaway

bearborne

I decided to try out the digital oil brushes on Corel Painter. This is actually only part of the painting I'm doing. I hope to have the bear chasing a squirrel and a bird for stealing his berries....I really just wanted to paint them all together, so the berries just kinda give the bear a motive.

Landscapesmanshippery

I once heard that you can tell in what area an artist is weak by what is left out of their pictures. I seem to leave the background out a lot, so I bought a landscape-how to book- and am giving it a try...not that all backgrounds are landscapes, but I'm banking that a lot of the same rules and methods apply.
Ah crap, apparently I over compensated for the curve of the earth here, lol. I'm gonna need to level out that stream a wee bit.

Disclaimer: I'm on the second chapter, so hopefully by the end things will be looking better.

"Do the interns get Glocks?"

I thought I'd try a portrait since it's been a while. I like some of the colors, but I'm gonna need a bit more practice, so there will probably be a lot more portraits in the future. This is supposed to be Bill Murray and man he's getting old, which pains me because he is a genius.

Grrilla vs Contractor

I used to do a lot of drawings like this using the free hand tool in Illustrator. I didn't know how to use the pen tool at the time and so it was pretty time consuming using a jumpy mouse in the computer lab at Weber. I'm very spoiled now with a wacom tablet and Corel Painter. As for the content...I wanted to draw a gorilla and didn't think much further than that.

closing your eyes when you sing

I shoulda made this guy a singer, but he was actually a weightlifter I drew during the Olympics.

Squatter

If I were Batman I'd do my knees a solid and put a few hundy into designing a cape that folded into a banana chair.
