New Dr Doom marker pic

October 28th, 2008

This one was done entirely in markers, originally you could see his entire eye but I filled in with black marker up to iris and it didn’t look bad so I coloured them both in.

I’ve never actually drawn Dr Doom before, visually he is a great villain, he just screams villain.

As always click on the image to see the larger version at my Posterous site.

***To clear up any confusion over the yellow thing in the corner it is the thingy that Doom clips his cloak up with.  It’s very big in Latveria.

New Spider-Man sketch

October 24th, 2008

Got a couple of projects I’m working on at the moment in between searching for a job and I had to take a break tonight and stretch my super hero legs.

I always find the full face mask an interesting thing to draw hence Spidey overlooking his city. Click on the image to go to the Posterous site and see a larger version:

War Machine:

I had a lot of trouble trying to scan this in as it is around A3 size.  I was thinking of selling this particular drawing but Tracey took a liking to it so I’m going to keep it.  Click on the image to see the scanned in version.

Retro Invisible Girl picture

September 27th, 2008

I know I usually post drawings over at Posterous rather than here but I already posted the black and white inked image and then had a play around with putting colour in:

Have a cup of coffee and a catch up

September 5th, 2008

Well it’s been a busy week in the camp this week, applied for three different jobs, I’m focusing on Government jobs because thats what I’ve done for the past fifteen months or so.  Government jobs mean bloody selection criteria, selection criteria leads to frustration, frustration leads to anger, anger leads to hate and everyone knows where hate leads to.

That image really cracks me up, no one considers the nameless Storm Trooper’s hopes and aspirations.  I was talking about selection criteria though and unfortunately that has been sucking up my time.  I have been posting over at my posterous site though generally everyday, had to suplement old stuff in with the new stuff:

  

I’m really happy with the Iron Man pencils and I’m going to add ink to them after I finish my hot cup of java and chatting to you.  The Robin drawing is my background for Twitter too.

Speaking of Twitter, I had a major culling of people I follow on there.  I got sick of seeing conversations that I wanted to contribute to and then being ignored so I just got rid of them.  I also noticed that there were such a huge number of ‘how to blog’ people on there that I was following and frankly there is only a certain number of ‘make movey writing good titles’ posts I can read before I wonder about these people who blog about blogging about blogging.

I am of course not infallible so if I dropped you from my list I apologise and if you send me a message I’ll add you back straight away, anyone who comments in here will get added automatically generally too.  I do also want to send a big word up to janetwheeler, kathleenjoy (permission required to view) and gamerbabe360 who always converse with me despite neither reading this blog to my knowledge.  They are good salt of the twitter earth people.

I had to set aside the speed reading book, though I have increased my speed by about 75 words per minute, job applications come first unfortunately but I’ll try and finish the activities by the end of the weekend.

I have been playing World in Conflict though whenever I get the chance, picked the game up for $8 at K-Mart!!!  It is brilliant, fun and challenging, if you like RTS then I highly recommend it!

Still reading Saga of the Seven Suns book one - it is really really good.  So much detail and so many characters.  No I will not be going over to fantasy books though, it’s as close as I get (which isn’t that close!).  Trying to track down a copy of City of Ember but Australia doesn’t seem to stock it so it is off to the import shops.

Started watching the new 90210 series, I can easily get hooked on this, I’ll write about it when I finish the two part opening episode, found myself grinning though when the ‘revamped’ 90210 theme played over the credits.

Upgraded Wordpress to the latest version, had to go through and remove all the weird generated characters.  

Also have officially made Chrome my default browser.

Well that’s about it for me, finished the coffee, I hate instant coffee but it went down alright, how was yours?

Now You Can Have Made Up Embarrassing Photos From High School!

August 26th, 2008

Someone over at Posterous (yes I will stop going on about that site one of these days) posted a picture of a real life poster advertising the website Year Book Yourself.

The run down of the site is that you upload a photo and then the site (along with a little help from yourself) can show you what you would have looked like if you had graduated in a bunch of different years.

It is actually as bad as it sounds.

Enjoy:

You can go back a little further and make yourself look like Corey Feldman:

And my absolute favourite because it reminds me of Henry Swanson from Big Trouble in Little China:

Oh and by the way I posted a new drawing at Posterous :)

Posterous: when you can’t get enough social media

August 21st, 2008

Zen Habits mentioned this via his Twitter feed and asked what everyone thought of it, I’d never heard of Posterous and was slightly intrigued, enough to do as it suggested and just email a message through to see what the site would do with it.

You see Posterous is a blogging platform with a slight difference, it is built primarily around emailing your posts in, photos, mp3s, text etc.   You email the site and it will automatically set up the post for you.

Actually I think it’s the easiest registration I’ve ever had to do because all you do is email what you want your first post to be and it will automatically set up your account, post the email and send you a message advising how to access and set up a password etc.

So whilst I really don’t need another avenue to vent my thoughts etc I’m going to use it as a picture blog and post a drawing a day there.   Most of these images will already have been posted here and I will continue to do so but this is a streamlined list of my visual ideas alone.

Anyone who wouldn’t mind a blog but doesn’t want to go through the crap to set one up and would like it to be nice and simple could really consider it.

It also appears to be a really nice community as I got a couple of welcome messages and encouragement.
