Her name isn't actually Rockstar or anything. I haven't figured it out, I've been thinking Roxanne or Roxy but I don't know if I want to go that much on the nose or off it at all, plus I like boys names on girls, like Joey, Bobbie, etc. some times. Her racing team is Rockstar Bikes, thus rockstar.png.

High horizon line to get the top view, low for the bottom, MOX. Have to do it for vehicle designs.

I need to tweak this a bit and it's a lot cleaner in real life than it scanned so I'll be fixing that but here's the rotation as it is right now. You get the idea at least. I'll post the good version when it's done.

It was more for getting it to rotate correctly, but yea that too, hah.

OKokokokokokokOK. The pan. You're missing about an inch, half-inch from the bottom but scanning that would have been hellular even though it'd help it look better. It's really annoying to scan such a thing as you have to do it in parts and the pan paper moves around and all this crap and then you have to match it up in Photoshop and get rid of seams and crap, I think I did an OK job of that considering how crap it scanned.

Wow. Jeez. Thanks guys!

The muscles took less time than the skeleton, which was just pain wall to wall. Muscles are pretty easy really, you look at anatomy books and sketch it in. A skeleton is the same but since this was a rotation we had four skeletons to do and you had to make sure they properly rotated (I'm not entirely sure mine do).

Basically the only reason we ever do them is just knowledge. Essentially you need to know how something works and why before you can animate it so you'd need to know how arm muscles are, and the bones and about a trillion other anatomy stuffs we learn.

Oh yeah;

I put some of the thumbs I did for the flying motorcycle on my blogspot. They're the only ones I had scanned though show the rest would be good.

The song was featured in the "Shining" episode of The Boondocks when Riley gets his chain from Thugnificient. It's by Metaphor The Great and it took me a while to get it. You have to get it off his MySpace page (I hate MySpace SO much), it's just called "Boondocks Riley" and it's a minute or less long, but I dig it.

Anyway tomorrow or Wednesday I'mma put up some backdated life drawing I've been hoarding. I have LOADS more to put up but not all at once.

Posted on:  8 April 2008, 00:50:42

I hit a hick-up when making my life drawing stuff internet-viewable (they are currently sized and rotated to be printed properly, not web size) and I can't take care of that since I'm in finals until a week from now exactly.

So in mean time here's my design final. They decided to give us a break and instead of designing the cockpit of the ships we did before, we had to do caricatures. The self-caricature was just for the first week and doesn't need to be handed in, it was kind of a warm-up, but the main project is the celebrity caricature. If I succeeded in this project, you should be able to guess the celebrity.

Eh. I thought about it.

But I figured I'd have it look just like he does in the Shaun Of The Dead comic. And I'd have to draw him Shaun style 'cause he had the faux hawk and stuff. Plus that was the first thing I saw him in.

I originally started this Levy by drawing him back in his SCTV days with Bobby Bittman references.

No matter how I view it, the audio isn't in sync, I downloaded that raw file and converted it to every type of file I could think of, none of them worked.

Though it worked best when converted into WMV.

Yeah I used a program that let me try to covert it to every which thing, and exactly what youtube asks for (I think that was MPEG-4 and MP3 audio) but I only get WORSE results. I just tried to upload it directly to BlogSpot but same deal.

The audio goes so out of sync in a flash player like those that it plays a part of the audio track I DIDN'T EVEN EXPORT (a part further down the timeline, where you hear "OK tough love it is, tough love, get up idiot!").

I've been struggling with this since April and this seems to be the only thing that's worked out.

And thanks guys. I liked it more in April though :-/

It overlaps with the "No No No" stuff a bit, and is lower in volume.

So a while back I was having a crap art day and couldn't get any of my ideas down so I decided to just draw an existing character. I started going with War Machine but realized that if I was going to draw Rhodey I'd better just wait and do my existing War Machine image idea, so I just went with a favourite and doodled Luke.

After a bit of it I was on a roll so I didn't get up or do anything else until I finished the sketch. For whatever reason, I just love the style this came out in, so I had to add a splash of colour.

Luke Cage © Marvel Comics blah blah blah.

I like the overall image, but my eyes are glued to the absurdly huge forearms.

Not knowing anything about the character, I can get a lot from this image though. I like the expression the most, in that it is cool, but not snotty, and sort of curious.

Heh, he's definitely not snotty. Huge forearms 'cause one of his powers is super strength plus it looks hilar.

Basic rundown of Luke Cage (sometimes known as Power Man in the past);

He was one of the first Black superhero to star in his own book in the history of the comics industry, making his debut in the 1970's. His history (at the time of his original run) is as follows. He grew up in the streets of Harlem, NYC with his best friend Willis Stryker. Eventually, Stryker ended up framing the man called "Lucas" (at the time) for a crime he didn't commit; Stryker planted heroin in Lucas' apartment, since Stryker thought that Reva (Stryker's ex-girlfriend) had left him for Lucas.

Lucas is sent to prison where he his in a rage. When transferred to Seagate Prison (near Georgia) he is the target of abuse by Rackham, the head guard, who beats him without reason. Dr. Noah Burstein eventually comes to Seagate and offers Lucas a chance at parole, if he participates in a genetic experiment. When Burstein is out of the room, Rackham enters and tries to kill Lucas by messing with the experiment. The resulting over-acceleration in the treatment gives Lucas superhuman strength and "steel-hard" skin that resists bullets. Lucas breaks out of Seagate and return to New York, donning the name "Luke Cage" and a costume (pictured), eventually becoming a Hero For Hire and later just a superhero. He's been one of the Fantastic Four, an Avenger, a Defender, and more since his debut.

Nowadays: He is the current leader of the New Avengers. His powers are still superhuman strenth but his skin is now considered indestructible instead of just "steel-hard" (I don't know why it changed, but it's better). He no longer uses any costume, just street clothes like a real person (which is badass). He is currently married to Jessica Jones (an ex-hero) and they have a daughter who's name has yet to be mentioned. He, his wife, and his baby may or may not be Skrulls (like almost everyone else in Marvel right now).

AKA KICK-ASS.
