Not dead yet, nope nope nope

Not yet anyway... let's see if I survive this month.  HA HA.
Went to Tokyo, saw friends, visited some nice people at some studios, came back, and designing on three different projects right now (or more like four).
I took photos in Tokyo, but forgot my digital camera, so I used a disposable.  YAY they still make those.  Once I finish off the second camera and get it developed, I'll post them up.  Hopefully my thumbs won't be in the photos.

So updates and some art:

"Life...Dreams...Hope...Ultros"

For the Super Button Mashers show in Chicago, Feb. 11, 2012.

Here are the few things sketched that aren't work related. 

We saw this jolly fellow at the Dragon Quest Cafe in Tokyo.  He was really excited to add more points to his card.  He also had a little racoon fanny pack.  He is awesome.

That's it for now.  Looks like the scanner is starting to die, getting weird streaks in everything.

Will post more in March.  Hopefully some of the stuff I worked on will be airing on Cartoon Network by then.  I don't really know. Berfs.

Magitek Armor

Something old colored and fancied up with photoshop.  Learned how to make snow with fancy computer effects!

The magitek armor was a random prop used in a flash show long ago.  Far, far away...

"Welcome to Costco, I love you"

Tooo busy to draw anything new. Looking into trying to print another sketchbook type thing for this summer. Every year I either get too busy, or can't afford it. Looking into doing full color if possible, but hopefully keep it affordable for others, or whoever might want one. Bleh.
I was worried that I might not have enough original stuff to put in the book, but I have some stuff going back all the way to 2005 that I never posted, so it should be ok. I might put a few images in it that have already been on the blog in the past. If there are any specific drawings that anyone would like in the book, please post it in the comments.

So while going through old sketchbooks, I found some horrible unfinished sketches that should never see the light of day. I'm in a weird mood, so here's stuff that belongs at Costco.














This was freelance. They are aliens.

Here is a workout to help everyone get in shape after the holidays!

Did somebody say "Chocobo"?

Nerd lesson for today.
Chocobos are to Final Fantasy as Taun Tauns are to Star Wars. They have an annoying theme song and look like giant chickens. They can be different colors, with each color having different skills. You don't really need them to get around in the games, they are useless. That is a moogle on the chocobo's head. They like to dance and only say stupid things like "Kupo!". They like to eat nuts. I think the birds from Nausicca came first, so the chocobo is probably a rip off of that.
Many hours of highschool were spent listening to teachers while I drew videogame characters. This is why I'm now stupid. Be smart, read books.
