Animation Time! - Crossbow Rig


Today's Inspiration:
It's necessary to make it clear that it goes beyond the simple quality of drawing as it's all about telling a story

The key in dealing with any character is to find the traits that make them unique, interesting and strong, and focus on those.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day. Thought I'd share what I drew for my mom for mother's day. Hope you like it.


Started off having a heck of a time with tonight's Preston Blair Study, but I think they turned out quite nice. Persistence seems to be today's lesson.


Rhys and I went out and saw Ironman 2 at the drive-in theater. What a great time! They even showed old movie theater cartoon adds before the movie and during the intermission. We were both too sleepy to see the second movie How to Train Your Dragon, which we both love, hopefully we'll get to see it again before it leaves the drive in. If you haven't been to a drive-in in a while treat yourself. I'm sure you'll have a blast. Anyways that all was to bring about IronGilligan.


Claude and his turtle Romancing the Stone or Tarzaning. I'm not sure which one's better.


Our little hero vs a couple lvl 1 slimes.


The Mustache Bandit is at it again. Taking a sort of Carmen Sandiego spin with this guy, and loving it.


Since Rhys and I were kinda geeking out over Ironman and comic books in general. It occurred to me that I haven't talked about how much I love Superman. When I was growing up the show Lois and Clark came out and well it quickly turned into a Sunday night ritual. After my dad had seen how interested I was in the show, he introduced me to the actual comic book Superman. He had read a lot of them when he was a boy so he took me to the comic book shop and let me pick out a couple. Lucky for me this was right at the time the whole Death of Superman arc was coming about. What a great time to be a Superman fan. At the time for me this was the pinnacle of drama. I remember Superman #75 it was so engaging. I was hooked. Dan Jurgens' art was like nothing I'd seen before. Thanks for inspiring the little Superman still inside of me.
