He Rides Again!

Yep, I was bored today and felt the need to animate things. Clearly I'm REALLY rusty.

Doodles As Far As the Eye Can See

Today's doodle is just a bunch o' random things that have been pinging around in my skull. It's one of those days that I want to do everything and anything creative, have a million and one ideas, and am ready to take on like a bear or something. In other words, I was feeling pretty amped up and inspired. But then I can't focus, my computer acts a fool, and all of those ideas running around in my head suddenly all seem stupid at once. Also, there is no bear to be found.

However, like a freaking champ, I managed to make my hand translate the chaos in my head into chaos on paper, or something lame like that. Whatever. It's like a stream of consciousness doodle.

On Resolutions

Alright, here are some curvy critters, or what I tend to look and feel like after the holidays.

You would think my New Year's resolution would be to take this blog back on with a vengeance, and if today's doodle were any indication, probably do some push-ups or something, but if you thought that, you would be incredibly wrong.

However, one of my resolutions, besides my resolution to make reasonable resolutions, is do something creative every day, and whether or not the results of this endeavor end up on this here blog remains to be seen. I'm more than just an avid doodler dear reader, and more than just a poor blogger. Let's just say that there are some blank wood craft things being shipped over from Russia to me as I type, and I can't WAIT to get my greedy little (er, moderate sized) mitts on them. If you want a clue as to what this most epic of creative projects is going to be, you need only to refer to this

That's all for now sweet readers. I may see you tomorrow, or perhaps I won't. Either you way, you can bet your sweet bippy that I'll be making something, and it'll probably be awesome.

Herpy Derp Year!

Alright, so a new year has come, and the world has still managed not to have ended. Robots are mastering facial expressions, we survived the Rapture, and Epic Meal Time has inspired bacon flavored lube. Yay Humanity! All in all, 2011 was a solid year. So 2012 is probably going to be better, unless of course it's awful.

Today's doodle is kind of a compilation of the past year, and maybe years gone by. Mostly just highlights of characters that have grown on me. I'm sure you can expect to see more of them this year, or maybe you'll see bigger and better things each and every day. *Spoiler alert* If you believe latter, you should probably make one of your resolutions this year to be "deal with disappointment better". Though, one of my resolutions this year is to do something creative every day, whether it's doodle, dabble, or whatever else it is that I do, it'll be something cool. That, or it'll end up in the trash.

Here's to 2012 being more creative and less sucky than 2011.

Twice in one Day?!

Okay, I was too excited about this to wait. As promised, an animated sonic run cycle. Forgive me though, my animation skills are a tad rusty, it's been a LONG time since the last time I actually animated something. I may color this guy later, but for now, enjoy! :)

What day is it?!

Alright, clearly by now dear readers, you know that I am by far the worst blogger known to man. So it is not a surprise really, that I haven't posted anything in over a month. Egads!

In a pathetic move towards penance, please accept my humble drawings of dumb Sonic the Hedgehog running. That's right, not one, but TWO doodles today. Madness.

I guess it's more like angry Sonics running, but you wait, once I actually animate these things (hopefully tonight)they'll be plenty dumb. I clearly missed the bandwagon on this meme. But, I miss animating, and I love this thing so durn much I simply had to try my hand at a silly run cycle, what better way to get back into the swing of things right?

The Hero Gotham Deserves

So, I have become involved in a new game, and man is it a good one. Batman: Arkham City is the bee's knees. Or the bat's ankles. Something.
Anyway it rocks. A.) It has my all time favorite millionaire play boy and super brooder, Batman in it. B.) Mark Hamill once again strains his poor vocal chords to provide Joker's mocking and oh so hilarious dialogue. 3.) Never has traversing a city been so entertaining. For the first 15 minutes of game play, I shamelessly used the grappling gun to zip from building to building. Also, it's BEAUTIFUL.
Anyway, enough of gushing. Here is a lil' doodle of Batman. Just because.

Me Gusta Batman

Arkham City is awesome. I cannot even begin to describe how awesome it is. Well I could, but I'll save it for a later post, perhaps tomorrow.
Other than that, there's not much for me to say right now. I'll just leave this doodle here...

Detective-ing!

As you may have figured out by now, Batman is one of my favorite super heroes. Maybe even THE favorite. Here's a doodle of him being a detective and deducing something extremely important.

Batman?! Sweet Jesus!

I decided to purchase Batman: Arkham City. Boy howdy was that the best idea I've ever had.
Fun times. At the same time, my good friend Felisia and I started drawing super heroes in her sketchbook. They were drawn wrong, but oh so right. And thus began my drawing Batman bender. Forgive me for the flurry of Batman posts that is going to besiege you in the coming days.

In today's doodle, I combine two of my favorite things. Batman, and MEMES. The result is something like this. I imagine this is how the Dark Night may feel every time he gets to drive around in the Batmobile.

Monster Monday

Okay, so this is clearly a day late, but let us pretend for a moment that it is Monday shall we? Good.

I love monsters. I also love alliteration. And so, for however long I can stand to do this... I have declared Mondays to be "Monster Mondays". I'll draw a magnificent medley of moronic monsters to make your Mondays feel less mundane.
Perhaps more themes for the days of the week will pop up, I've already got a good'n for Sundays, but you'll just have to wait until then to see what I've got planned for you.

Anyway, dis here is the first monster.

Oh the Faces I know

Felisia makes this face, usually when I say something stupid, which means that she generally makes this face a few times whenever we hang out. Another person who's talent for making fantastic facial expressions is mighty impressive, and usually leaves me laughing like a fool. When we're not trying to make armpit fart noises, or making fart jokes, we like to toss around a few uncomfortable expressions. Yep, you'd be right in saying that we are pretty much 12 year old boys.

I'd also like to leave this here for some roommate love. It was their shining punims that originally inspired the whole, "doodle friends faces all silly-like".

On Making Faces

Some people have a talent for making great facial expressions. Bryan would be one of them. This is not his default expression, though it probably should be, because it's a good'n.

Rocketeer!

I recently watched the "Rocketeer", and let me tell you, I loved it. It had a few of my favorite things in it. Jetpacks, Nazi fighting, old fashioned insults (see chowder-head) and sweet pantaloons. Also Airships. Love me a good zeppelin.
Anyway, to switch things up, I drew said rocketeer, well kind of. I mostly just wanted to draw his awesome jacket.
Tomorrow, the caricatures of cool chums will continue.

Look at that Punim!

Clayton LOVED that mountain, don't let that scowl fool you.
Sorry for the less than awesome quality, ye olde phone camera seems to be having a hard time focusing. Will probably upload a real version later.

Larry

Larry is an encyclopedia of music. He knows it. Well. Every time I hang out with this guy, I learn about a new sweet band, and silently kick myself for not knowing it. In short, I bow to his vast collection of sweet tunes.

More Friends

Sticking with the theme of drawing those poor souls who were stuck with me for a weekend, here's Silvio. He ran up that mountain and conquered it so hard. Any mountain goat would have been proud.

In Which I Make Excuses

Gather 'round dear readers, and I'll tell you tale of most thrilling.
Not really, I don't have any excuse for not posting doodles except for the fact that 1.) Although drawing every day is actually easier than you would think, taking the time to capture said doodle somewhat decently and the proceed to post it on the intertubes is a feat that I am just not always able to tackle. 2.) If you will take a gander at exhibit A, you will see the reason that I don't always remember/ want to post things. I make a TON of these freaking things. Leaves little time for interwebbin'.

Anyway, here is more lumberjack guy. I'm itching to render him in Maya, but still lack the know how.

GAH!

This is Wolverine. He's little. And angry. And Hairy. Yep

Narwhal'd!

Here is a narwhal. He's pretty excited
