RBMC: Childhood Cartoons! Inky lines

This week's Rust Belt Monster Collective's topic was , to draw our childhood cartoons...and I had ...a lot, and I couldn't choose just one, so I went with: Godzilla, Voltron, Optimus Prime, Lion-O, Winston Zeddemore, He-Man, Donatello, video game Link, Slimer, and lil'old me in my kick ass Superman jammies' (with Velcro cape!), I still feel like I left a a bunch of favorites out (my bad Snake Eyes, Gonzo, Super Friends Batman, and Spider-man).

To  see the super-sweet 1986-ish colors go here:   

This is the finished "ink" art. I took the original scanned sketches and combined them in photoshop and cleaned (sort of) everything up.

   
This is the original inked drawing from my sketch book, you can almost see where I started to draw Donatello behind Lion-O and in  front of Voltron's lion foot. In this drawing he fits there well "compositional-ly", but for the finished drawing that I had in mind, I preferred him in his final spot.

Here is the original sketch of the kid, he was the first thing that I drew in this piece that i was happy with, but I realized that I didn't have enough room on the page for the rest of the drawing as I wanted it, so I erased him, but I scanned him before that so I could use him later (computers are cool),

New Stuff (from Dr, Sketchys) with Faith McFluff

These pieces are from January 2012's Cleveland Dr. Sketchy with model faith McFluff. As you can see she was dressed as Wonder Woman, which was pretty awesome. As with most of my Dr Sketchy drawings, I don't consider these to be anything close to finished...just a decent start at best.

 

This is the "after" shot...

and here is  the "before" shot.

An (almost) overlooked "Very Frazetta X-mas" Dr. Sketchy

Well I was about to post some new drawings from last weeks Dr. Sketchy Cleveland , and I realized that I had not posted any images from last months Dr. Sketchy. It was  "a Very Frazetta X-mas" and it was awesome!

This was my favorite image from the night. If I had some more reference of this pose I might turn this into a finished piece, I might try anyway, I like it enough. It is ball point on rough sketch paper  with whiteout, I messed with the original face a bit in photoshop.

I tried some color on this one with mixed results, I like the shadows on her face, but the rest needs lots of work.

And then there was this one, I was really liking it and happy with a lot of the drawing, until I got... distracted (I sure you can see how) and waaay over rendered one face. Maybe I'll finish this one too, so I can redeem myself with that face.

Galactus Line work!

Last week's rust belt monster blog's topic was GALACTUS! I've never drawn him before so this was really fun, actually drawing anything that Jack Kirby designed is fun.

You have to go and check out the colored version of this drawing here: rustbeltmonster.blogspot.com it's pretty rad (yes,"rad", I said it).

Design a Deity was this weeks' Rust Belt Monster Collectives' topic, this is my interpretation, or at least the uncolored ink sketch.

To see the final finished image in all its technicolor glory go here: rustbeltmonster.blogspot.com
