Today's warm up: Biocontainment

Egyptian warm ups

Angela Lansbury

I saw her on stage a few years ago playing Madame Arcati in 'Blythe Spirit'. She was superb, utterly magnetic on stage and surprisingly physical for a woman in her mid 80s. As probably the biggest Star I've seen performing in live theater, she was everything I could have hoped for and more. May she live forever!

Giant Size Friday

Mask 20

Rat Mask

So I spent the evening at the Dare2Draw drawing ripped young men. Hence my interpretation of Tim's theme today ( or rather yesterday )
I draw girls all the time, a little variety is nice.

Odd topic Wednesday: Rat Costume

Tim Truman's - Scout

A blast from the past. I remember looking at catalogs with pictures of these comics and not being able to get hold of them. They were impossibly exotic, unattainable things from a faraway country. To this day I have never read Scout. I'm sure it's awesome.

SCOUT warm up

Thanksgiving sometimes means visiting your parents house
and finding a box of comics you forgot you had.

Thus, a sketch of Timothy Truman’s “Scout” (which I used to read faithfully)
today as I warm up after a few days of eating and NOT much drawing.

Alien with a Conical Helmet

He looks a bit like a depressed grinch   ....oh well.

Alien with helmet

John Carter, of Mars

I originally drew this for something else that is no longer occurring so, since it ain't, I figured I'd share it here. John carter getting all jack-rabbity on a Thark.

John Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine

I'm a bit late with this one. I blame the government...or something.
I like Burroughs , it's like the lizard DNA of Sci-Fi and Fantasy.

Jimmy Carter, Peace-Maker of Mars

Seeing as how I've never read any John Carter from Mars, every time I hear its mention, I think of Jimmy Carter.  And seeing as how I was born during the Carter administration, I've never heard this joke before though I'm certain it's been made.  

Did this one all in Photoshop.  I oil paint-ified it though the original might be a little better?

John Carter Warlord of Mars

In VERY early anticipation of the coming
movie, we are doing “John Carter, Warlord of Mars” illustrations.

skull head or some such craziness....

Disney Villain You Never Heard of: Rickey Ratzi

Rickey Ratzi, Mickey's German-sympathizing cousin appeared only once, in 1928's Nuttiness in Nazichusetts.

Madame Nastikoff

In 1954 the Walt Disney Corporation produced a full length animated feature entitled "Beehive Yourself!" which starred a pair of young Italian Bees who rejecting the rigid conformity of hive life ( No More Stripes!) fly to Paris to become Haute Couturiers . They apprentice themselves to Madame Nastikoff the most iconic designer of the moment, who holds all of Paris in her thrall. While quickly seduced by the apparent glamour of the world of fashion, they soon find themselves confronted with exactly the same oppressive conformity that they knew in the hive. Most oppressive of all , their erstwhile inspiration Madame Nastikoff turns out to be an egomaniacle tyrant who steals their ideas and passes them off as her own. The intrepid apiary duo are forced to strike out on their own, forming their own fashion house called 'Capriccio' they take the world by storm with their daring collection of yellow and black striped garments.

Hey, I tried.

Buddha Superman

I figured Tibet could use a Superman. Thanks to Buddhist teacher and author Ethan Nichtern for suggesting a super Mudra for the serene Kryptonian. Dedicated to Tsering Tobden and his family.

Superuomo!

The Superman of Italy, early 1900's.

Pax Kryptionium

All hail Augustus Kal-El.

The design of the first comics superheroes, with capes and shiny outfits, was taken from the most flamboyant miracle workers of the day. Circus acts. The Strong man and the Human Cannonball got their capes from the powers of the ancients. The first capes were Roman.

1818 pacific northwest

this drawing is kind of a turd but I like Pacific Northwest Indians!

Mtu Mwenye Uwezo Kupita Kiasi

So the rocket carrying the infant Kal El dropped down in East Africa in 1920. The infant was adopted by some wandering pastoralist tribesmen. As the child came of age there was much consternation in the tribe as it was discovered that his skin could not be pierced and the boy could not be circumcised. So he could not become a Moran ( warrior ) of the tribe, despite being faster and stronger than all of his brothers. As his capacity grew he became known as Mtu Mwenye Uwezo Kupita Kiasi ( the man without limits ).

Super man costume

Let's see, Mike Cavallaro had today's interesting idea.
Draw Superman as he would look had he landed in a country and time of your choice.
My Super Man landed in London during the late 1880's where he
was raised by Oscar Wilde. Sound good?

Do the clothes make the man?

Costume. Nuff said
