Halloween Movie Monsters

I Managed to do this page of sketches based on the Universal Studios monsters from the silver screen era.  Been pretty busy with freelance and school, so nothing too special, but I hope you enjoy, and have a happy Halloween!

Fun Faces

Here are some studies I did using a Pentel Pocket Brush Pen and some Tombow Ink Brush pens.  Some were influenced studies by other artists (indicated in the text), the rest are from imagination.

Also, the study of the old woman with the tea kettle is from the work of Leyendecker, not Lyendecker like I have it on the picture.

Enjoy!

Honeythorn Gump

So here is another scene from the movie Legend with characters from left to right, Honeythorn Gump, Brown Tom, Jack, and Screwball.  David Bennent, the actor who played Gump, is very captivating.  Unfortunately for this film, the editors decided to dub his voice over because his Austrian accent was too characteristic of Nazi Germany.  I was listening/watching his other academy award winning film, Tin Drum, and his voice sounded great; this is sort of ironic racism, and I don't know if the original dialog still exists because of it. 

Anyway, this illustration became much more laborious than I wanted it to, but I guess the good part is that I learned quite a bit from working on it...which is my prime objective in each personal illustration I do.  With everything, there are things I like, and things I don't, but it's time to move on and start another one.  Hope you enjoy and check out the scene for it here.

Meg Mucklebones

This is one of my favorite movies, Legend.  It was Directed by Ridley Scott, and whenever I am feeling uninspired, I turn it on and watch/listen while I am working on an illustration.  This is one of the most memorable scenes for me.  There are plenty to choose in this film, but the character Megmucklebones is just great.  The even greater thing is that the character is played by a dude, Robert Picardo.  So click on the link to watch the scene of Meg Mucklebones for yourself!

Purple is a Fruit

Here are a couple more pages of mindless cartoons.  After 10-12 hours of drawing caricatures live, it is hard to come home and draw anything...so I settled for these.

Enjoy!

Hulk

Some Hulk sketches for an upcoming illustration project I am working on.  I am really liking using an ink brush for the value...it is loose and quick, and the swatching/painterly use feels more connected to planar thinking.

Anyway...enjoy!

Here are some more random drawings from Valleyfair downtime.  Done with Crayola black marker, 30% warm grey/french grey, and airbrush color.  I have become very inspired by a bunch of French comic book artists I have stumbled upon via Facebook.  To quote the Mad TV character Coach Hines, "These don't even come..CLOSE!" (while kicking leg out).

Anyway, these are a fun departure from what I normally do, and I look forward to exploring this more in the near future.

Enjoy!
