2010-08-12T14:23:00.002-07:00

this was a real conversation

2010-08-12T14:23:00.001-07:00

it's a seeeeecret! (actually it isn't)

2010-03-27T23:29:00.000-07:00

started working on a comic called 'Infinity and a Half' [used to be '50 Miles to California.'] I don't know if I'm gonna finish this.

2010-03-16T20:41:00.000-07:00

this here is the cast of The Great Outdoors: 'Unfinished Business.'

I'm doin' a big ol project. hurr.

2010-03-16T20:38:00.000-07:00

no, I dunno what "THE IT" is, either...

2010-02-20T17:04:00.001-08:00

sort of a 'sea' thing going on

2010-01-28T20:46:00.000-08:00

well, there's always sea-influence in everything I draw. but recently it's been pretty obvious.

2010-01-17T12:35:00.000-08:00

mmm. My retinas hurt. but this is my favorite pair of colors.

So many character lineups! I've been doing bunches of these for the past three days or something.

Did I mention I wanted to be a character designer?
No?
I do. So badly!

uuugh I really need to take a figure drawing class...things are looking wrong and I don't know how to fix them!

2009-11-10T20:22:00.000-08:00

Doin' stuff. One of my junior highschool buddies said, "hey, did you ever paint those faces on boxes at all?" I was really into boxes in middle school. I don't remember why, but I thought cubes were totally radical.

2009-11-10T19:42:00.000-08:00

More weird character designing. Mostly jus' playing around.

and I can't stop listening to Menomena...I really like them...

2009-10-24T22:33:00.000-07:00

compulsive shitty character designing! In Flapjack style!
I've got a sketchbook of character designs, now. I really needed one...

2009-10-22T20:16:00.000-07:00

a friend told me "draw an octopus to use for Inkblot!" and I said "okay"

2009-08-24T14:19:00.000-07:00

I KNOW.
I said NO MORE FAN ART but I'm a horrible terrible liar...
I figure instead of lying again, I'll just tell the truth: you're going to see a good deal of Flapjack. Not a TON, but more than you would expect of me. On my Econ notes, I bet. So get ready.

2009-08-23T01:52:00.001-07:00

Okay. It's two AM. I'm going to bed.

Zombie Businessmen Concepts

2009-08-23T00:00:00.001-07:00

Playing with the idea that ghosts and stuff come back from the dead to ‘finish unfinished business.’ And I was thinking, hey, a businessman’s business is never done!

I realized I have a SHITLOAD of characters for G.O. and not as much 'solid plot.' But that's okay, I figure like EVERYTHING I do G.O. will be more character-based than plot-based...

IN DA HOOUUUSE

2009-08-15T01:13:00.000-07:00

Designing Wilderness' house. I was thinking of what kind of house Wilderness would have, and what kind of house would piss his parents off the most...this is what I came up with.

Also, I've aaalllways wanted a tree house... ; -;

NULLTARSUS IS A MAAAAN

2009-08-11T22:35:00.000-07:00

Because having a Flapjack fan character makes me feel cool.

Okay, lemme explain this. I don't make fan characters. Ever. Most of the time I feel like a terrible person, like I'm bastardizing their creation. I've realized a lot of people don't feel this way. I've ALSO realized that fan characters are mainly self-insertions made by the various kids and whatnot, even though they plead against the idea.
Well, that's boring to me. And I was looking through Flapjack fan characters, and 99.7% of them are basically carbon-copies of Flapjack's body style, usually around the same age, or carbon-copies of Flapjack's body style but somewhat older and taller. [And they all have food names. Mostly all of them. Go look.]

And, see, no one wants their fan characters to look ugly. Most of the comments are "ohhh how cute he/she is!!1" This is MAINLY because the characters are representing their creators. Sure, fine, alright, that makes sense.

BORING.

Nulltarsus is what happens when I try to mix stuff up, because I wish more people would. Null isn't an insertion of myself, he's a dirty filthy pirate who likes to kick puppies, which I would never do [unless the puppy was trying to kick me first.] Null is also ugly, and ALSO not 'ONE OF FLAPJACK/K'NUCKLE'S BEST BUDDIES/ENEMIES' or 'K'NUCKLE/FLAPJACK/ECT'S KID BROTHER/SISTER!!1' Null is a dirty filthy ugly puppy-kicking tooth grinding sailor pirate who I imagine would make fun of Flapjack's cute lil' hat, and that's all he's ever gonna be.

p.s.
HE'S A REEEAAAALLLL MAAAAHN. Here's a cheap, unreferenced, copy/paste comic to prove it.

I'D WALK 50 MILES...

2009-08-10T17:03:00.001-07:00

You're getting awfully good at the drums.

2009-08-05T17:19:00.000-07:00

More Flapjack fan art. > __> I'm getting better at that style now...
I DRAW FAN ART WHEN I DON'T WANT TO ACTUALLY THINK ABOUT THINGS. WOO! FOR...taking a break.

UUUGH SHIRTS.

2009-08-04T13:34:00.000-07:00

Working on Wilderness' shirt...it was SO SUPER DETAILED...
I think I'm beginning to favor the bottom right one...

REALISM, YO

2009-08-01T18:11:00.000-07:00

I used Giovanni Civardi's anatomy book as reference...
Blah realism. But if I want my grunion painting to look good...I gotta do it. fufh.

Mr Wilderness' mom is such a jerk. :C

Principal's Office

2009-07-25T13:27:00.000-07:00

Stayed up all night AGAIN trying to design the school...I'm re-drawing everything from my sketchbook to my laptop...so this post'll be edited a few times, like some others. YES some things are off...I'm too lazy to fix them...

Think of his office like a box. I tried to make it somewhat cold, official, and uncomfortable. It'll be easier to see when I line-art it and color it...and stuff. This is gonna be fun, the colors are grooooss.

GAWD WAT A PATOO

2009-07-21T16:08:00.000-07:00

I've been drawing a good amount of fanart lately...and by 'good' I mean 'What the hellfuck is wrong with me someone slap the fan out of me so I can get back to work and focus more holeee crap.'

WHOAH

2009-07-18T13:05:00.000-07:00

I HAVEN'T SLEPT IN TWO DAYS.
Well, actually, I just took a nap for an hour...so I guess I lied. I have slept, but not very much.

Oh, and here's this other thing. I'm trying to draw myself in a bunch of different styles. It's good practice apparently. I hate my friggin' hair.
The styles belong to who the styles belong to.

NEW and IMP...ROVING. G.O. 2009

2009-07-16T10:31:00.001-07:00

Okayyy...I think I'll stick with this line-up for now. AUGUST 20, 2009

Yaaay getting better and EASIER to draw now. Still working on Bo's shirt and Jim's pants, mainly. Woo, it's almost five A.M. Radical. AUGUST 5, 2009

I'm sensing a breakthrough, even though this drawing is KINDA ugly...and they're too tall, but I can cut them down pretty easy. JULY 21, 2009

Newer kid designs! Not final, I bet, but I think I'm sloowwwly starting to get the hang of this. JULY 17, 2009

Newish designs. Going for 'cute' instead of 'realistic.' JULY 15/16, 2009

After meeting with Thurop I got great feedback and advice...and I realized I have a crapload of stuff to work on. So The Great Outdoors is getting a whole new look, I think...they'll actually have eyeballs now, for one, and they'll be a little bit shorter...
It's gonna be a comedy, not action/adventure, so I have to make it funny...and Wilderness is ridiculously UNfunny, but that'll change one of these days.

This post is just gonna keep getting edited with all sorts of junk...ha ha

FISH

2009-07-15T18:35:00.000-07:00

Either she IS the fish, or she's being EATEN by a fish...
Yeah, I dunno.

But...

2009-07-14T12:25:00.000-07:00

I was nervous earlier...about meeting Thurop tomorrow...
And looking stupid.
Buuut now I feel better...

Shoelace?

2009-07-13T09:24:00.001-07:00

I WAS. DROWNING.

2009-07-09T23:00:00.000-07:00

Here's a bigger, better version...

I like to think of this short thingamajig as an 'afterward' to my currently...and probably forever...unfinished comic.
The fact it's STILL unfinished proves what a lazy bum I am...
However, I'll totally work three days straight with half an hour of sleep on a single painting.

...

What?

IN THE WILD

2009-07-09T21:10:00.000-07:00

Yaaay I get to paint tomorrow...I finally saved enough money for proper canvases...
And more paint, because I'm not fighting upstream with my grandmother on THAT subject again.
"PUT LIFE IN THEIR EYES."
"Grandma, their eyes are already little white circles...you can't put that white dot of 'life' on them like you can on your paintings..."
"HERE LET ME JUST SHOW YOU."
"STOP MOLESTING MY PAINTING WITH YOUR PRETTYSHINYFAIRYDRESSY BULLSHIT."

...no, I didn't say that. But I should have. >C

She paints fairies.
I paint people with arms twice as long as their body.

I should've realized there would be issues there.

FOURTH OF JULY AND THE GREAT OUTDOORS

2009-07-05T20:01:00.001-07:00

I'm such a bum, I did nothing but kayak and work on my pitch all day...

50 MILES TO C.A. MAY 'O9

2009-07-01T13:48:00.000-07:00

There's a reason I don't use color...

50 MILES TO C.A. - EARLY 'O8

2009-07-01T13:43:00.000-07:00

Back in '07/'08 I was still using a mouse and drawing in MSPaint...

50 Miles was the 'starting point,' so to speak, for a different and more...original? style. I considered it to be some sort of 'cutesy,' squished style. I never figured I'd ever take it seriously...

GREAT OUTDOORS JUNE '09

2009-06-30T17:45:00.000-07:00

It's gonna be a long post...

THE DANCING DAVIDS

2009-06-30T16:42:00.000-07:00

The sunfish is unfinished, but I put it up anyway...
From oldest [the original David] to newest...
