OH LOOK ITS MY 1000th post! Whoo

I noticed its been a while since I posted anything on this thread....so here's a sneek peek preview of my skitzo the bear movie posters!
I made only about 50 of each style and sold them at my last showing at the cartoon art museum :] I'm still looking to find some poster tubes that dont cost me a fortune so I can make them available for sale online....but till then you guys are the first to see them.

They are drawn like old 1920s style cartoon movie posters *the way you would have known about a new cartoon short in your local nickel theater*. I based these two on the actual "scrap" flashes Ive made for Skitzo, "Too hot to handle" and "Can ya spare a dime?". I want to make 2 more for "Puppy love blues" and "I'll see ya on the other side"....coming up in time!

preview for scale:

I rather like the grimy textures you implimented on those. I think it compliments it the subjects well and creates quite a worn, decaying feel.

that second one is really cool, do you have any copies of it left?

Thanks Tardigrade, Glad the textures turned out well! and Thanks Redm haha yeah I do have some left which are in my webstore here: http://inthedark.bigcartel.com/product/skitzo-the-bear-vintage-movie-posters

And so during 4th of July my neighborhood turns into a war zone of explosions and screaming people in the street with car alarms and dogs whining everywhere. It probably because you can buy a ton of illegal fireworks in China Town and nobody stops it heh. Its starts around 7pm and then lasts until about 3am......Its really REALLY loud too. Here is a sound audio clip I recorded from outside my window:

And that above is only a minutes worth, just imagine that going on for 8 more hours and you can begin to feel the frustration i get haha. So what do i do to relieve that?? I draw a rushed messy comic about it of course!! :b

so here you go!

CVG · July 28, 2013 05:54 AM

ahaha bd that's true it was like a rube Goldberg! I guess I want to make sure they all saw what I had to say heh...

also posting something relatively new. A doodle that I went ahead and colored and inked for fun

july of 2013...dang i have not posted here in a while. Heres a funny little pencil thing I did with a friend. She drew the one on the left and i did the one on the right haha.

tbh the only thing i feel isn't that good with what you ordinarily do, is that your coloration seems really iffy at times and you're a little inconsistent

like the skitzo the bear posters are pretty decent, but that bathroom doodle is really messy due to the way it's colored and shaded

shit it might not even be so much the colors as it is the shading

your last picture there of the 'enviable young lady' is quite well-done and funny, the way you draw can be functional enough so it's not like you can't do good linework

you see what i mean, right? if you look at your bathroom doodle and the different pools and streaks of blood, some of it is outlined and some of it isn't, making it kind of inconsistent

line strengths and such are also inconsistent, this can be used to effect to draw attention etc but in your doodle it doesn't really work that way and combined with the coloration being a mess it end up looking really off

by comparison your skitzo posters are far more consistent in their linework and colors, so they look much better

i mean yeah it's a DOODLE, so that's fine, but imo color and the way you shade is by far your weakest points, and i'm pretty sure you can do it better because you do show this from time to time

Ah thanks man! Finally someone bothers to comment on a doodle i did almost a year ago haha. Yeah looking back at it now I agree the colors and shading in particular could have been better on it. It had so many elements that I ended up skimming on the details and such since it was just for fun anyways...meanwhile the skitzo posters were to be items I actually printed and sold so yeah I did try extra hard on those to make em look GOOD. Haha but overall thanks! I do need to practice of those digital pics a bit more...as I still feel my stronger medium is traditional drawing and paintings...hence the lady doodle probably looking way better because its real ink on paper as opposed to my inking on a digital doodle like Fibble by the sink. Just got to practice more!
