Back Again

I know it's been a while, but I am finally back with a new picture or three. This first one is a picture of Sponge Bob, the original Goofy Goober, rocking out. My youngest still loves the Goofy Goober song so I drew this for her:

She smiled real big when she saw it and screamed "I'm a Goofy Goober! ROCK!!". I think that meant she liked it.


This next one my oldest asked for. He has the new Injustice game and wanted me to draw the Shazam character from that. this is what is looks like:

I like it. I wish I hadn't tried to do all of the extra shading in the back ground, but he said he liked it and that is what's important.

The last one is a type of drawing I usually don't do. I don't care too much for still life drawing. It's always been a little too hard for me to get the curves and shading just right. I am attempting to start my own business and I needed a logo. Since it is a maintenance based business I decided tools were the best thing. This is what I came up with:

I am really pleased with it. I started to draw a cartoonish figure holding a hand full of tools heading out to work but, once I started researching, I found that almost everybody had that same idea. This is something different and original, or at least I think it is. I'm happy with the way it turned out. It looks good on a business card too.

Hawk-Man

 My oldest son gave me this piece of paper one day and asked me if I could come up with a picture of Hawkman from the the designs he had come up with.  I took a look at his pictures and sat down to try to make it work. We sat down together a couple of times and made some agreed upon changes to the helmet and knee pads, as well as a couple other things. I got started and after about a month I came up with the picture you see below.

I think it turned out pretty good. I came up with this from the action figure he has and from the way the character looks on DC Comic's Superman/Batman: Public Enemies. He hasn't had a chance to see it yet so I hope he likes it.

Batman

I just got this one done this morning and wanted to hurry and put it on the blog. I've been working on this once ever since I completed the first Wonder Woman picture. I've never really shaded in the entire paper before and now I have learned something. Lead loves fingerprints, duh. I guess I am going to have to be more careful the next time I try to do that. Either way, I think this one turned out quit nice. I thought since I drew Superman and Wonder Woman I should finish out DC's 'Holy Trinity' by adding Batman.

Another Request

After seeing the last Wonder Woman picture that she requested on the blog, my oldest daughter instantly requested another picture. What she asked for was a picture of wonder Woman tying Supergirl up with her magic lasso. After starting, this is what I came up with. I think it turned out pretty good. I know that Supergirl is not tied up but she is definitely worried about what is going to happen next. I hope my daughter likes it.

The Incredible Hulk

I have always loved comic books for the colors and the details. The story line was just an added bonus. I would sit in the floor of my room with a whole stack of them and take in the beautiful art that filled the pages from cover to cover. And hey, who didn't want a pair of x-ray glasses or be able to beat up the sand kicking bully? In fact, I just passed down two milk crates full of comics to my oldest son, who seems to love them just as much as I do. (COOL!!) I have always been more partial to Marvel comics than DC, although Batman is one of the coolest heroes ever.

The picture I have today is of the Incredible Hulk. "The STRONGEST There Is!!!", and, one of my most favorite characters. I drew it a long time ago and I believe I seen it in a magazine as a 'Got Milk' add.

What makes the Hulk so cool is that he never asked to be here. It wasn't his idea that Bruce Banner play around while a gamma bomb exploded (Yes, I know about Rick Jones). And now that he is here all he wants to do is smash someone and then be left alone. N0w I ask you, what harm can come from that? Another reason is that the Hulk has no limit to his strength. The madder Hulk gets, the stronger Hulk gets.

Now, if you ask Bruce Banner he will tell you that having the Hulk around is a nuisance, but I disagree. How many times have we wished that we could just let our 'inner monster' loose? No regard, no remorse, just let it out and see what happens. Just reach through that little hole in the glass and slap the shit out of someone because they were, purposely, being as annoying as humanly possible.

We seem to live in a society that absolutely has a panic attack whenever someone gets the least bit upset. We've seen it in a restaurant, or while shopping. Someone gets mad and shouts at someone else and, instantly, people are afraid. They have their phones out and have them on stand by, ready to dial 911 (or the Marines, whichever they feel may be needed at the time). I'm not sure why. How do we know the person that just got yelled at didn't have it coming.

I'm not saying that we should just stand by idly and watch as some one gets the dog snot beat out of them because the just happened to wear the 'wrong' color T-shirt through the 'wrong' part of town, or as some crazy person goes tearing through a crowded place shooting at anything that moves. I'm only saying that anger is just another emotion, same as happiness, sadness, fear or even guilt. But we are taught from an early age that getting mad is just wrong. "Stay calm, Don't get upset" Why? I WANT to be upset! I DESERVE to be upset!

There are so many people that go out of their way to see just how mad they can make someone. Maybe its about time we took the Hulk's advice and just start "SMASHING PUNY HUMANS!!!!"
