Tim W8: Don Krang!

Just think about, ...somewhere, deep down in the pit of your stomach (pun #1), you've always had a "gut feeling"(and pun #2) that Donald Trump was secretly an android body being driven by Krang the gooey conqueror brain from Dimension X...and you were RIGHT!!

Week 8: Gen. Patton. War Machine.

Better late than never I'd wager...As a kid one of the films that made an impression on me was George C. Scotts portrayal of Gen. Patton....and since I spent last week working on a piece with robots..I stayed with that direction. Pen, ink...marker, acrylics. I trying to limit my time on these...force myself to work faster and more practical with what I have. 3 hours...2 on pencils and inks....a couple hours drying time to be sure the inks didn't bleed on me. And then colors, 1 hour.

Week 8: You Can Call Me Siggy

Sigmund Freud: Evil Genius.  Every Evil Genius has sexy ladies hanging around.  Or maybe that's what I told myself as I decided what to draw.

Week 8: Super Prez

Another quicky from me this week. Only 2 days until my second back-to-back show opens and I get my boring life back.. Woo-hoo!

This is just charcoal on paper with some oil pastel. Is he good or evil? You decide!

Week 8: AC vs. DC!!!

Thomas Alva Edison scientist and MADMAN, but it's not entirely his fault. Mad Scientist Disorder as we've seen with the immortal Ben Franklin comes with the profession. Any level of success in the super sciences plus a bend toward the prolific could only lead to nefarious work. Luckily there are warning signs: 1) Publishing an Almanac under a pseudonym. 2) Nap invention. 3) Creating instruments out of tableware. 4) Invention of a talking to the dead machine. If you see anyone exhibiting any of these behaviors contact local authorities and together we can rid the world of the scourge of Mad Science!
Nothing too fancy about this technique this week, just mechanical pencil and Photoshop. Hope you enjoy.

Week 8: Benjamin Franklin Takes His Revenge!

I'm sure we can all agree that if Benjamin Franklin lived an extra 300 years, that he would eventually use his abilities for evil.  That is why I present to you, what I feel, is a pretty accurate representation of The Franklin.  Hell bent on vengeance and armed with electric gauntlets and super electric fly boots (of Evil), he leaves no survivors.

Sketched on paper, inked in Sketchbook Pro, colored in Photoshop.  Found some success in worker at a much higher resolution and in Sketchbook Pro and discovering the "rotate canvas" feature while watching a tutorial from the Paper Wings Podcast.

See the original sketch (loosely scrawled on a legal pad) at my blog: Still-Reaching.

WEEK 8: Historical figures as superheroes or villains

It's said that any superhero can be traced...or is in some part tied to mythology. And if that's the case we should be able to base them on historical figures as well. Benjamin Franklin as Electro? Bill Gates as Galactus? Hilary Clinton as Black Canary? Richard Nixon as a nunchuck wielding psychopath? You get the gist of it....have at thee then.
