Celtic Claw...again

Another drawing of my character Celtic Claw. Decided to draw the last costume version in a more serious style to see how it works. I like it.

Celtic Claw Redesign

Did a quick sketch of an old character, trying out a different design for him. Looks more like his 'classic' look, but looks more sensible.

More Pants Action!

pent an extra half hour to 45 minutes to finishes this picture off. Glad I did, think it looks much better.

Pants Action!

Been a long time since I have drawn this guy. Underpants Boy, a character I made up in 2006 during my Art Foundation course. Last time I drew him was probably 2 years ago. Just cracked this out for fun. Around 90-120 minutes? Gotta work faster. Still thinking of adding some lighting. We'll see.

Happy Hour

My character AngelCrusher having a drink, all for a Happy Hour art jam on deviantArt.

Hela 'va good Figure

After seeing the final sculpt for the last figurine of the THE CLASSIC MARVEL FIGURINE COLLECTION, and how brilliant it looks, I was feeling creative.

Ok, I was too tired to do any commissions so thought this would be easier just to get something creative done before bed. Anyway, this is an alternate costume for Hela. I didn't go all out modifying the costume properly, so its more of just a digital repaint.

Cute Avengers Framed

Signed and framed for sale especially for the Rhondda Cynon Taf County Show tomorrow.

Doctor Who Are ya?

Quick and crappy Matt Smith Dr Who Caricature before bed.
Keep meaning to do a proper picture of him.

Ah well. Make do.

Avengers Assemble

Some cute Avengers fan-art.

Started as a sketch of Captain America while at a crafts fair while I was bored. Went to another crafts fair, and drew Iron Man and Thor. Then Hulk and Black Widow the next day. And so it ended up with this.

All traditional pencils. Didn't use any reference as I wasn't too picky about it.

Hope y'all like anyway.

Fisticuff Animation

Didnt work. Maybe a deviantArt link will...

Exported flash animation as a gif to see if it has a transparent background to post on deviantArt. So essentially, this is a TESTSTETSTETSTETETSTETSTEST.

Skurge II

THE CLASSIC MARVEL FIGURINE COLLECTION: Skurge early stage

After seeing some fantastic quick renders of the character, most of us on the blog thought it didn't look very dynamic and I thought there didn't feel like enough power in the stance. So I changed it up with him leaning on his axe, and lowered his face to make his glare look more intimidating. I also flared out the shoulder pads more and filled in other details.

Skurge

My edit to the recently uploading concept art of Skurge for the CMFC. Just removed guns, put axe in both hands, cut away the screaming, although it does work also but I was just messing around.THE CLASSIC MARVEL FIGURINE COLLECTION: The truth is out there...

Helping others with their drawings and design work. Have a read on all the tips I gave.

Mind-Cluck

A friend of mine Sam Ray, better known perhaps on deviantArt as 'CartoonRay' created a new character called Dr. Iq. He posted up the artwork, which I loved, followed up with a description. I couldn't help but picture a different character, and although I tried to explain, I couldnt help myself drawing what I meant to say.

I just wanted to make the character look more menacing, more intelligent, more superior with what the description suggested. I also changed the name from Dr. Iq, as although IQ played on the character's real name and intelligence, having a slightly edgy name thats a little bit funny with rude connotations I thought would be a winner.

Anyway, no offence caused with these changes, just wanted to have fun and illustrate other possibilities. :)

Dog Days are Over

Ok, this is my last Lockjaw post.
I was unhappy with my previous efforts. While I did settle on one I liked, it just looked like a dog.

So after a lil inspiration, I wanted to explore Lockjaw using his teleporting powers. I never thought a standing dog would be dynamic either, but slicing him in half mid teleport, adding some Kirby Krackle, I think its much more unique at displaying the character. It can never be confused with 'just a dog' now.

And if EM want to push the budget out, they could make a back separate and then he could make a nice bookend.

Old Dog New Tricks

Edited the Lockjaw drawings during my lunchbreak, changed to a sad face and a more cheeky face since making him angry looking seemed a touch out of character, probably looked too evil.

Barking Mad

I was sort of challenged to do some designs of what a Lockjaw special would look like for the Classic Marvel Figurine Collection. I looked at images of bulldogs, figurines, and Lockjaw artwork and just mixed them all together to get different results.

Essentially I just wanted him sitting down. He isn't exactly a dynamic character and the breed of dog (I know technically he ain't a dog) doesn't lend itself greatly to dynamic poses. I felt the more dynamic it is, the more bigger the risk of it looking weird. The main selling point in this figurine is the character, basically his unique design in the face, and whatever expression you can get out of it. I also think you can get a better scale of the character in this pose as he will sit up taller than what he would be standing.



I think I sort of failed in a way because they don't really work, the majority just look like a dog. However, I did colour in my favourite (not the churchill parody) that I think worked really well which sort of combined two pieces of artwork of Lockjaw.

THE CLASSIC MARVEL FIGURINE COLLECTION - Owl Artwork

On the Classic Marvel Figurine Collection blog we were shown a great step by step process of creating artwork for the magazine, with the line-art posted for the inside cover. The editor mentioned he created the artwork in about 1-2 hours, so I wanted to challenge myself to see if I could create something similar in the same space of time.

So this is my attempt. It is quite rough and I didn't bother with any shading. The contents box is just a copy and paste from the actual artwork posted, but the artwork itself was around an hour to complete. I choose against textures like the editor used, as I thought the inks defined the texture of objects enough. I also just re-used an old background I had for a previous piece of artwork...so a little cheat there, but altogether for 1 hour I didn't think it looked too bad.

Euro 2012 Predictions #2

So my predictions were alright in the end.
http://www.lawaycartoons.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/euro-2012-predictions.html

I correctly predicted 7 out of the 8 teams who qualified (didnt account for Greece pulling an upset)

I correctly predicted 58% of the results and 21% of the scores.

If I had placed a £10 bet on every prediction, I would have won £675.36, which would of been a profit of £195.36!

So obviously I am kicking myself now.

But since the quarter finals have changed from how I predicted them, I gotta make new predictions and see how it goes.

KNOCKOUT STAGE
QUARTER FINALS

Czech Republic 0-1 Portual

Germany 4-0 Greece

Spain 2-0 France

England 0-1 Italy


Still tipping Germany to win the thing.
