Ancient Critters - Condylarths

I am always reading about nature and paleontology and recently have been reading up on ancient mammals. I found out that once there were hoofed mammals some of which were carnivorous! These are the ancestors of familiar animals like cows, horses, deer, tapirs, rhinos and such. The carnivorous ungula...

Here are some more doodles of critters from the future.

News Heads 9

Below is S.E. Cupp, a CNN token republican commentator with an impressive jaw.The guy on the top left below is supposed to be RFK. He is hard to do because each one of his features is bizarre which makes it hard to choose which ones to focus on.The lady with the low hairline is Alayna Treene.

Tiny Critters 10

This top one illustrates animal communication.I was running out of modern critters to draw so I have started to attempt some long vanished beasts. The following 2 pages feature creodonts, extinct carnivorous creatures not directly related to familiar carnivores.

A Gorilla Baby Commissioned by Jack

One of my loyal Patreon members, Jack commissioned me to draw a gorilla in baby clothes. I'm not sure what it means and was afraid to ask but I dutifully complied. Maybe it's for a club where Jack and his pals dress up as gorillas in baby clothes?Here are some of my rough studies I did befor...

Sorry I had no internet for a few days so haven't been able to post anything until now.

3 Stooges Sketches

I tried to do a sketch of them from memory:It wasn't entirely successful so I freeze-framed an episode to some studies.You'd think they would be easy to draw since they are so distinct but I find it difficult to get a good likeness.Here's Vernon Dent, my favorite foil character.Those gir...

Possums Commision

Our pal, Justin asked me to draw a commissionof Ren and Stimpy with a possum.Here are some of my studies and sketches.if you're interested in getting a custom caricature of you or a cartoon character, you can get one here.

News Heads 7

That's Joe Scarborough upper left without his glasses. He has very tiny eyes.That's our nutty leader with Joe again.Below: Those 2 on top with the cowboy hat are of Robert Mitchum. The 2 below him are supposed to be Elon Musk. I haven't got a good caricature of him yet. He's very wei...

Tiny Critters 7

That tarsier at the lower right is marking his territory as the other jungle denizens come to see what all the scent is about.

Animal Studies 1

Here are some boring drawings of various beasts. I record a lot of nature shows and from time to time sketch some of the animals in hopes of retaining some of what they look like next time I draw some cartoon animals.Unfortunately usually I don't remember much of it later and have to start all o...

John Heads 6

I'm running out of things to say about these doodles.Here are some thugs or maybe wrestlers.The guy on the bottom right is inspired by that astronaut senator, Mark Kelly. Note his rocket shaped cranium.

Devo Pitch 2

Here's the rest of the story.

Girl Heads in Progress

Here's a bunch more girl designs I'm working on.This one is inspired by Alexis Smith, a classic Hollywood actress and singer who appeared in many film noirs (my favorite movie genre).I think I made this gril's body too angular. I'll probably soften the corners of her shoulders and ch...

John Heads, Sketches and Colored

I haven't painted these yet but thought you might like a peek at the first steps.Here's the original sketch.A sketch of a sleepy or stoned man.Here he is with gradients, ready to render.This one below was inspired by congressman Matt Gaetz.If ever there was a man who looked like a caricature...

Devo Pitch from 2009

Kali Fontecchio and I developed a pitch for a video with Mark Mothersbaugh long ago.He wanted to do it but something was going on with his label so it never happened.Oh and here is a lovely cg sculpt of my Fred Flintstone and George Jetson. It was made by that amazing sculptor John Quinn.to be conti...

Angular Girl 3 - Torso Renders

Here's a step by step sequence starting with the body gradients:Next I painted some details on the neck and her left trap.I added her clavicles and the shadows underneath them. (The shadows are too high, overlapping the clavicles and I'll fix them in a later step.Here's her left arm rend...

News Heads 5

These aren't drawn with my usual marker pens. They have been discontinued for some reason so I am using my last few judiciously. I drew these with crappy Papermate Flair pens. I can't figure out why they are so popular. The tips are way too skinny and you can't get a nice thick and thin ...

Angular Girl Step by Step Rendering

After I have filled the color areas with gradients, then I start painting on top of them on new layers. Here's the hair rendered.The face.Her eyes. But not the lids yet...Her nose.Her mouth and eyelids.If you'd like me to break it down further layer by layer, let me know in the comments.I&#3...
