Nothing to see here...

Haven't touched this blog in years. Most all of my current activity is over at the Manor these days.  Check it out!

Green Lamp Post / Green Arrow-Shooting Guy

Miscellaneous stupid characters that I created for an issue of Alpha-Omega. Green Lamp Post / Green Arrow-Shooting Guy.

Web Speed Test!

I just checked out the speed of my main site (dscomic.com) over at loadimpact, and looks like it didn't do too badly. I was half expecting it to crash with all the images having to load...

Here's some more miscellaneous art from the garage... a big, strange robot...

Watercolor mountain

Did this a few months ago. Might use it with December Sun. I don't know.

Blue Monster!

Another gem from the garage. Non-repo blue image of a monster or something.

Captain Beard!

Another find from a stash of old art in the garage...

Not sure who or what this guy was about, but he's got a very colorful costume...

Old, strange "Reformed Fruit" art

Just some junk I found on a disk. Old cartoon fruit bickering. I intended to make a video of this but never did. Maybe someday.

Hollywood

My depiction of the HOLLYWOOD letters. I wish Hollywood would hurry up already and make me a lucrative offer to my December Sun character, so that I can retire...

Disintegrate

This was an illustration I did for an art class back at Florida State, ages ago. I was as FSU for a couple years studying art, liberal arts, and the general dehumanizing feeling of being in courses with tons of other people. I actually didn't think very highly of FSU, and a large part of why I transferred to Cameron was for smaller class sizes, and to study from teachers who actually gave you the time of day (and didn't just delegate this task to teaching assistants, as happened at FSU.)

Just ranting...

Useless junk

Various explosion images from some of my recent Java game experiments.

A tiny hampster using detached toenails as snowshoes

Another image from the Dad's Toenail book that I drew, based on a story by my friend Andy. The idea here is of a hampster using toenails as snowshoes. Silly stuff.

Landscape!

I painted this landscape years ago for an art class. The lens flare was unintentional when I snapped this picture, but I think it helps improve the picture, actually.

I studied fine art years ago, and although it didn't help my employment situation remotely, it was still an interesting field of study.

Sculpture study

I did this charcoal drawing ages ago, based on a bust called "The Damned Man", I think. I did a lot of charcoal on a newsprint-quality paper, then I'd lock it all down with a hairspray. This was a good learning medium, but charcoal is not as forgiving as pencil is, and it's very difficult, I found, to correct mistakes made with the medium.

Geronimo!

Native america sketch from years ago, when I was in the height of my interest with pen and ink quills. I used to live in Ft. Sill, Oklahoma, so this was likely Geronimo-inspired (a few museums on post had information about Geronimo.)

Nibs and dipping pens are just difficult to control and would often splatter (likely the stylish shape to the left of his head was an ink spill that I converted to a scratchy design...)

Old Guy!

Sketches in ink for a children's book I illustrated, called "Dad's toenail". I did these back when I was a big fan of inking with nibs, or frustrating, sharp and easily-broken metal dipping pens that have a propensity to splatter ink. I've since gotten hooked on the line quality of brush.

Porcupine Man!

Watch your helium balloons around generic porcupine man!

and here's the teeny-tiny thumbnail of the same image (oh, the wonderful things you find on the C: drive...)

Dancing cake!

Boom car!

Bird man!

Bird man! Quick, someone, get him a bowl of millet!

Goofy early Photoshop images

These were some of my earliest experiments with Photoshop (version 4, I think) from about 15 years ago. Nothing earth-shattering...
