Muppet Angel vs The Count-- SMACKDOWN!

I'm not much of an Angel fan, but I am aware that at some point he was transformed into a Muppet. Well, the world ain't big enough for two Muppet vampires, so I decided to draw Muppet Angel locked in immortal combat with Sesame Street's the Count. In the background, Janice the Vampire Slayer is torn in her duty.

Darla - Julie Benz

I should really know better. Getting a likeness of a really pretty person is just HELL! You need to find the teeniest tiniest things and amplify them , just to have something to hold on to. As a result this comes over more as a charicature than a strict portrait.

The strength of Angel as a series was that Angel ( David Boreanaz ) was content to act as a straightman/foil for showier actors/characters. One of the strongest of those was the Vampire Darla ( Julie Benz) who made a big impression on me at an impressionable age ( 35 ). She had the best death scene EVER ( not the first time, the second one ) where she staked herself in order to give birth to her baby. What a way to go!

Captain Mal Reynolds-- He aims to misbehave

It's "Firefly" day here on Drawbridge, not "Inara" day, just sayin'. Someone had to draw the Captain, and that someone was me.

So here's how Firefly day came about: we all love Firefly here at the Drawbridge studios. LOVE IT. But especially me.

A while back, the old fogies with whom I share this blog wanted to do a "Space 1999" day, which was some old sci-fi show from before my time. It meant nothing to me, so I asked, "Couldn't we do a 'futures of the past' day instead? You could draw Space 1999, and I could do, like, I don't know, 1984 or 2001: A Space Odyssey or something?"

"NO", said they, "It's Space 1999 day. Suck it!"

"Suck you!" said I, and drew this Firefly piece instead, because, as mentioned, I LOVE Firefly. And lo and behold, my Firefly piece got a whole lot of hits, way more that their Space 1999 pieces did, because people love Firefly. So then, as we all love Firefly, we figured, let's make a whole day of it.

And there was much rejoicing, hallelujah!

"Firefly" Inara, Morena Baccarin

Today the theme is "Firefly!"
A favorite show to many including me.

I decided to draw the very cute rough and tough
ship mechanic Jewel Staite who...
Wait, I'm told this is NOT Jewel I drew.
I actually drew the very beautiful
Morena Baccarin who played the companion Inara Serra.

Sorry, I really didn't mean to draw another cheese cake
type sketch!! Damn! Stupid me!

If we do a Firefly day again I'll try to
do better.

Sigh

Buffy

I love Buffy. I really loved that show - the idea of a wee blonde girl bashing vampires and big tough demons... I loved the premise, the characters, and the very fine spin-off, Angel. I wrote lots of words about Buffy once, in a British Buffy magazine that no-one saw. But those many essays expressed my love for Buffy. Bring her back, please - or indeed, any of the characters from that universe. And I mean the Joss Whedon TV show, no other imposters.

So here's my Buffy. I just realized I never drew her before. Rudimentary color; didn't have time to do it properly.

Whedon Wednesday- Buffy

Someone had to draw the slayer, and that someone was me. Penciled this on the train ride over, and inked it in the studio. Not the best likeness of Ms. Summers ever committed to paper, but you all get the point.

Whedon Wednesday: Buffy the Vampire slayer

Buffy the Vampire slayer!
Today we pay tribute to a little
known movie from 1992 staring Kristy Swanson,
Donald Sutherland and Paul Reubens.

The plot revolved around a flighty teenage girl
who learns that she is her generation's vampire slayer!

Scary stuff!
Written by geek God, Joss Whedon.
Whom we all love.
Amen.
