Bully

Super busy this week but not very productive in the sketchbook department. Here's just a little something.

Don't pet

Pretty Girls

Just one of the many great things about my day job, is how many pretty women walk by each day. Not that I look, but ... yeah ok, I look. Unfortunately, I usually have to wait a few hours to record any of them in sketch form. Sometimes I'm more successful than others, but it's always fun to try.

Romulans!

I'm a big Star Trek fan and I'm reading an old ST Novel, so I thought I'd doodle some Romulans.

Invaders

Two more aliens that I guess I still had in my system. I really like this first guy- mouthless, but otherwise he's a mix of identifiable parts. Not as impressed with the Gatorman down below, but kind of some fun shapes on his body.

This and That

Villains of the Cute Animal World

I've been drawing some unlikely villains- cute animals who are also bad guys and master criminals. Don't be fooled by their small stature and fluffy bottoms- they'll slit your throat as soon as look at you. This is Bill "Downy" Waddlemyer, the mad bomber of Lake Sludgeshore. Wanted in a string of city park robberies.

Here you see Bucky Bunnino, Godfather of the Bunnino crime family, contemplating his next move. Wanted on charges of racketeering, gambling, and carrot laundering.

This is Alberto "Twitchy" Agitario. A nervous little guy,

he's a big player in the inner city crime scene. Though he makes a lot of noise, it's well known that he won't get his paws dirty, leaving most of the heavy lifting to the big dogs on his payroll.

And finally Dr. Helmut Eichhörnchen. Once a brilliant scientist, hoping to create a variety of Oak Tree that produced three times the normal number of acorns, he was severely disfigured in a lab explosion. Thanks to the efforts of the criminal organization N.U.T.Z., Dr. Eichhörnchen was augmented with the latest cybernetic prosthesis, but the incident left him mentally unbalanced, and he now uses his enhanced abilities in his quest to take over the world.

Ladies

Roadkill

A bit darker of an entry than you'll normally find here on my blog.

Don't worry, I won't make a habit of it.

H is for Hippopotamus

King

Nothing too inspiring today but I realized that I hadn't posted anything in about a week. I've got a bunch of stuff to put up but have no time to scan and crop so this will have to do for now. Stay tooned...

Dogs don't like Oysters

This was directly inspired by one of Garrison Keillor's Tales from Lake Wobegon. Just a throwaway line about someone who thought they'd feed their dog oysters, and how much the dog hated them. I thought that was a great image.
Even better was his description of the dog trying to make itself throw up by putting it's own paw down it's throat.

Me Draw Meela

As I've mentioned before, I'm a big fan of SpaceBase 8. In fact, it's the only webcomic I read. No, seriously it is. Anyway, just for giggles I thought I'd draw Meela, one of the characters in my own style. What makes Meela so ripe for reinterpretation is that even though artist Dave Smith's style is so distinctive and a big part of Meela's look, she's also got some elements that can easily stay intact and make her recognizeable even if she were reinterpreted. Those cat eye glasses, the hipster hair and clothing...

Anyway I'm really making this sound like a bigger deal than it is- all that to introduce my doodle. Meela is Space Base 8's resident administrative assisstant, though she very rarely seems to be at her desk. But that's how I drew her, filing papers. Even in space, there's lotsa paperwork.

You might want to check out Space Base 8 for yourself. Aside from being funny, the art is incredible. Check it out!
