BARREL-CHUCKER colors!

Finally finished coloring my DONKEY KONG tribute design. It took me a while, not only because I had to squeeze this in between several other projects (plus the interruption of the local Freemasons causing trouble again, for which I had to reach out to the local League of Hobos for assistance), but also because I struggled with the colors for a while as a result of what I concluded was a too-busy background. It just wasn't coming together as a solid and powerful image, so I tried simplifying the background shapes and unifying the direction of the movement, as well. I tried scanning in different types of brush strokes and ink splatter techniques and finally settled on a combination of a fairly simple fluid background shape with some scattered ink spray effects that would give the design a bit more punch.

I'm including several different color scheme options out of which I will narrow it down to just one. Which one would you like to see printed on a shirt? Cast your vote!

HELLRAISER colors

I recently was contacted by super-awesome horror shirt company CREEPY-TEES to do some work for them. I'm working on some sketches for some t-shirt designs entirely created by me, but in the meanwhile, they wanted me to help out with some coloring of already existing designs, and I was happy to contribute.
This first design is a take on the HELLRAISER movie poster by talented artist Chris Eisert. He provided the black and white artwork and I colored it up purty. It will be available for sale from Creepy-Tees very soon.

Up next, I'll be coloring a FRIDAY THE 13th PART 2 design.

VOTE FOR BEASTPOP's LAUNCH DESIGNS (please)!

Howdy, folks!
BEASTPOP! is getting ready to launch a world-dominating brand of clothing and other fun stuff (buttons, prints, stickers, toys, etc.). We are going to be starting small (we're not THAT crazy) with a launch of maybe two shirt designs, and we'd like to solicit some feedback as to which two shirt designs we should launch with.
I was considering going with the ZOMBAMA design, as it still seems pretty popular and I don't know how much more mileage I'm going to be able to get out of it. Then again, it might not have much mileage left in it at all after two printings at TeeFury, one at Qwertee and two printings of my own, everybody who wants one by now probably already has it.
Anyway, I'm providing some images of designs I have ready to go. All I need is your votes as to which two you would want to see and buy right away. Thanks for your help.

BARREL-CHUCKER

Something old: Pepper Spray!

Dug this one out of the archives. A finished design commissioned by a pepper spray company for a t-shirt design advertising their product. I never heard what became of this design or if it was ever produced.

Preliminary sketches used to gauge what sort of style the client might want:

BARREL-CHUCKER shaded inks!

Completed the second phase of my design inking process, which involves drawing an overlay design incorporating all the hard shading and highlights that I don't want to look like they were done in Photoshop. I print out a copy of the main inks in blueline on bristol board, and work out the shadow and highlight areas, inking them in with brush and pen.



I then scan in the shadow/highlight inks and overlay them onto the regular inks to achieve this final inked image, which can then be colored with relative ease once I work out a color scheme.

BARREL-CHUCKER inks (now with 50% more FIRE!

I realized after I finished inking this thing that I meant to have the barrel that Donkey Kong is holding be engulfed in flames. I'm an idiot. Nothing a little fine-tuning can't fix.
Onward.

BARREL-CHUCKER inks

Had to postpone my continued work on this piece for a while due to some more pressing jobs and commissions, but I'm making progress once again, and I rather like how it's turning out. I'm trying to incorporate more heavy ink lines in my designs to prevent having to do too much noodling around with large areas of color in the final pass.

The subject of this piece is, of course, one of my favorite video games and video game characters of all time, DONKEY KONG. Here, the beast can be seen in his natural habitat, hurling barrels at his least favorite mustachioed Italian plumber.
Colors coming soon.

ZOMBIE LOVE!

Hey, it's nearly Valentine's Day, which means we're all supposed to celebrate by going out and buying expensive (or expensive-looking) cards, chocolates, stuffed animals, floral arrangements, jewelry and ridiculous lingerie for our significant others/ objects of our lusts/ stalking victims, lest they become offended at our lack of gift-bearing and come to the only obvious conclusion: that we must not really love them after all. Such is the nature of the holiday invented by the greeting card company/ candy manufacturers/ plush beast purveyors.

Alternate color option 3



Anywho, I've got a much better method in which one of a particularly geeky or slightly disturbing persuasion can express one's love for another: J!NX's new shirt design, ZOMBIE LOVE (designed by yours truly)! Zombie courtship done the old fashioned way -- two teenage zombies sharing a brainshake at the local malt shop. They're up for sale at this very moment (or in the incredibly near future from J!NX in a variety of sizes for both males and feminales. Celebrate love and death at the same time and give your grandmother yet another reason to cast odd and suspicious glances at you from across the room as she crosses herself.
Yep!
