Mark Twain - Star Wars - Jedi Knight - Lightsaber

Hello blog, things have been hot and hairy in August, so here's a Halloween idea as we enter into Autumn:

Some hastily done Photoshop bashing. 

With apologies to Mr. Twain, and the unknown photographer.

Enjoy!

The Flaming Skull

Quick Halloween sketch, with very ruff inking.

Halloween old marker drawing

Here's an old drawing I did during my internship at the old Tele-Media local cable access channel,

back in the mid 1980's in Concord, Ohio.

 

 

This was used as a title card on the Tom Morrow show, sort our version of the Johnny Carson show.

 

I was going over my old portfolio, and found this little chestnut. I had fun making it, and the show's producer seemed to use it quite a bit.

I hope it gets more exposure here than it did on old local access 

channel 6.

Happy Halloween!

The evil within

Another rough sketch: the Ibex reveals Herman Bear's dark side. In this case, she uses her magic to bring his shadow to life. The Ibex claims that HB's shadow represents every murderous thought, an destructive impulse he ever had...

Started clean up in Adobe Illustrator. Illustrator has always been my Kryptonite. This drawing still has a long way to go, but I'm finally getting some cool brush strokes.

My hats off to Jose and Sue at the Animation Guild computer lab for helping me start to overcome one of my biggest software roadblocks. Clay Butler's tutorial on YouTube is also invaluable.

The Screaming Skull!

Just some rough sketches; 

Herman Bear goes on little evening stroll with his new companion, the Ibex.

But instead of getting some Trick or Treats...

They find a different Halloween item!

(Another version, want to have the skull facing them a bit more as they approach.)

(Another version, still need to get my ink line back.)

Happy Halloween!

Jack-O-Lantern

Finally gettin' my Ghoul on!

Happy Halloween!

Here there be Dragons...

Made from large sheets of styro my neighbor was throwing out, wood glue and tooth picks.

And Cobras!

She's actually on a rod to support plants, styro for the head and a "water worm" for her body.

Happy Halloween!

Halloween 2011

Hello blog, haven't been here in a while; better late than never.
Sketched some quick Jack O' Lanterns, that's supposed to be Vincent Price in the middle page of sketches. Got into the spirit at the last moment last night.
Next stop, Christmas!

Halloween 2008!

My favorite characters can't stay out of trouble. The Bear wanted to go trick or treating; (he's wearing a mask so no one will recognize him).

The Dragon-man didn't want to go, so now he has to fight off the evil spirits.

At least they're not out smashing mailboxes, or putting pennies in hubcaps.

Here's to all the hayrides, old scary movies and fun we had at Red Oak Camp, and Kirtland Ohio.
