Oh, are ya now, Melody? What precisely IS my favourite song? Hmmm? I call shenanigans!
Love the colors. It's an adorable loop. Headphones must be kind of cheap if one needs to put their hands on them to fully appreciate the favourite song of whomever.
Your head is a wonderous place of ideas and colorful nightmares, Scott. Perfect for a top tier artist such as yourself.
I don't know much about the OC arena, but Megadog looks like something out of 2000s Flash animation and I love him for that. I hope he's bros with Clifford the Big Red Dog. They could hang out at the park, play in the lake, and people would nickname them "Mustard and Ketchup." It'd be great! Now, should the right arm be twisted back like that? Seeing the hand at that angle looks odd. I'd assume it was to position himself to swipe at the lizard if it got close enough, but a straightened arm would more suitable for doing that.
yeah, the right arm probably shouldn't look like that at all. i kinda wish i had tried to find some type of reference picture or something, now that i'm looking at it. i made the entire drawing in one sitting, and usually when i do that, i don't notice anything wrong with it until days later, and then it pains me whenever i look at it again. in this case, i guess if i just ignore it hard enough it won't hurt
I was expecting the two to come together and form some shade of violet in the middle since the name of the piece itself is about mixing colours. Provides an excellent amount of detail in spite of its size and simplicity. You can clearly tell who is who without having to zoom in and I always find that impressive.
You definitely had a thing for Angry Birds back then, I see. For me, it was the ninja turtles. Didn't really keep any drawings from that long ago. Each time I moved to a new state, it meant tossing out everything that wasn't furniture, clothes, and collectibles. A shame I didn't own a computer back then to salvage my writings and doodles. Oh well.
Yeah, I probably could've done that. Although I'm willing to cut myself some slack since I was attempting to replicate these character centric animations as they appear in LED screen on the palletes in Side Order despite how simple they look, so they where supposed to be short and simple by nature. And I remember redrawing these two multiple times just in that side angle because of how "off" they kept turning out. The title is actually a reference from one of the lines Marina says upon the near end during the story, but I suppose I accidentally clickbaited you for this animation nonetheless, so I'll have to say my apologies.
Yeah. That was that one part of my life I attempted to bury because 1. it's a mobile game where most consider to be too "kid-ish" by today's standards and 2. the drawings back then were in a worse quality even compared to the ones where I attempted to "restart", but then quickly got over that irrational disgust since I've come to acknowledge that it was a time period where my kid-self was just simply learning stuff and I still have interest in videogames regardless (albeit with more broader options), but at least I know I'm not the only one out there.
I do love Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles though. I remember that time where my brother and I watched two episodes of the 2003 series off the DVD, played a game based on that and even once owned a figurine of Ralph who was actually more based on the '87 cartoon given how different he looked from the more serious action packed 2003 series (although lost it due to room cleanup unfortunately).
Reminds me of the old days of playing MTG. I could totally see "rubber armor" turned into an artifact card from the early-to-mid 90s.
They're not angry bears. They're passionate! Also, Owlbear looks like he belongs in a Pokemon game, rather than Puyo, which makes me wish these were the three starters for a Puyo RPG monster-taming experience:
Maguro: "I choose you, Risukuma!"
Risukuma: "Will you quit saying that every time we run into someone!"
I am strongly in favor of the liberties you take with the Puyo style. Please keep doing that.
Coffee Day sounds awful. Tea Day or Milkshake Day would be amazing, but coffee? Smells as bad as it tastes and even drinking the high-end, expensive stuff is like being handed a mug of burnt beans mixed into lukewarm water. No amount of cream on top is going to help that mistake.
Now you get it!
Now you just gave me another potential idea to draw of, although I'm gonna need to think of a funnier costume to make that joke have a bigger landing.
I always do, so no worries.
I haaaate coffee too. They're always bitter no matter the amount of sweeteners added, so I do get the frustration indefinitely. Everytime someone offers me one, I always give a big fat "no". Same with beer.
There are days for these upon searching actually, 21st may for Tea day and 12th september for Milkshake day. Kind of surprised my country has yet to celebrate that though, then again, it doesn't have the spirit of Halloween either, soo.
That is how some people live. They are not all that concerned about hygiene or cleanliness. Just relaxation. I got into the habit of cleaning after I stepped on a toothpick that someone (likely my younger brother) left on the ground. Making it a habit to tidy up has greatly reduced sickness and, you know, stepping on things, but one doesn't think about that sort of thing when they're a child. I've worked with people who remained that way well into their twenties. Smelling like they just rolled out of a trash can. You point it out and they simply smile and confirm it as a sign of pride. "I do reek of death, don't I?" I also met one guy who just had a unique stink to him. He bathed and brushed his teeth and wore clean clothes and... stunk to high heaven. That's just how it is.
A name for this? I don't know. "Hygienic Reflection"?
Is it just in your art or is Deep Cut the "joke" bunch of the idols? Always seems like they are not treated as seriously as the other two groups, especially Big Man. Maybe he's just too nice, I guess.
I'm typically not a fan of green (or any cold colors), though it does look surprisingly good in this piece. I feel bad for Big Man though.
I saw this on one (probably all) of your links. I was curious what it was. Had I waited, I would have found out tonight. Aww well. Having lived in Florida, seeing a croc with the name "Sunshine" brings back memories. Rode an airboat in the Everglades and they were everywhere. Not a threat but definitely not afraid of the boat, either. Gators were more popular though I believe it's because people confused them with crocs. Sunshine here has the right nose and the light-colored skin, but the mouth is a little too smooth... kind of clean-looking. Seems gator-ish to me. The glasses, of course, are quite obviously croc in nature. Most alligators have no fashion sense. We all know this. Even if you gave'em a pair of shnazzy spectacles, I bet they wouldn't wear'em long enough for a simple photo.
So, what compelled you to bring Sunshine into this world and how much were those glasses you got for her? Could not have been cheap.
It's totally fine if you seen this before. Thanks for checking out my other links! I had this thought process where not everyone would be interested in checking out other websites, so I figured I would post some of the old ones here! That, and it gives me an opportunity to not place all of my eggs in one basket, in the event a website goes down permanently, at least there are other copies that can be found.
I do miss Florida - only been there twice. Other than blisters, they were both great experiences. I do remember going to a zoo in another state and watched some crocodiles relaxing.
Yeah, gators and crocs get mixed up, and all people have to do is look at their noses. Thanks for the feedback about the mouth. I'll keep that in mind to roughen that up a little in the future.
Poor gators don't have ears to hold the glasses up naturally, unfortunately. Gonna have to rely on snouts and make sure they don't look at certain angles for the glasses to fall off... That, unless they have a glasses strap that goes around their heads, but they could still fall off. (The glasses would be a snack to them!)
I wanted a crocodile character is why she exists. Crocodile (amongst similar species) are my favorite animals period. Those glasses would probably be $90, but if they were fake ones without prescription lenses, it would be closer to $20-$30.
Considering the expressions you frequently add to your characters, I really should have noticed the Toriyama influence in your work. Guess I was too focused on your Sonic content and assumed you probably drew most of your artistic inspiration from its media.
I have plenty of inspirations when it came to idealizing my style actually, although it would take me hours just to write down the reasons for the whole process, not just expressions but the linework, the colour usage, background planning among other fundamental elements. Plus revisiting the said media definitely did the trick since growing up allows me to get a better look of how these are made in terms of production value and the teams of people working on them. In return, this made me appreciate them more. Makes you stop and think about why you liked these pieces of media in the first place.
