Art Thread: Fitzroy Artwork

[fitzroy]

Guess I should have one on here instead of bitting and bobbing on other threads.
Most of these you have seen, I'll try and get new ones up as and when.
So here goes

[Ken O]

Brilliant! I know I've seen them all, but I had forgotten about some of them.

[hellboyone]

I haven't seem 'em all. Great stuff! Stop hiding and post more, Fitz!

[icbm1987]

YARRR MATEY!!!

That's some mighty fine work...

icbm1987

[fitzroy]

Cheers guys.
Link is www.freeantz.com

Will try and get the pic I did for Rick's auction on there soon and a couple of others.

Fitz

[Petersen]

All awesome and strong work..but I love..LOVE the Lojo kneeling.

any chance the original is still availible? *nudge nudge* *wink wink*

-Petersen

[Anakin]

Dude, I love the "Lookin' for trouble" one!

[Otto66]

Thanks, Fritz. Let me know about the DVD.

[Maija]

Ja, my absolute fave is the kneeling LoJo.

Okay, Petersen-- shirtless knife fight? (Apparently I've already lost my pants today).

[fitzroy]

Now this'll be interesting. Will you wait until after Petersen and my monkey fight?
Thanks for the kind words everybody. New stuff soon I promise.
They'll be plenty after Petersen and I do the LoJo mini series. Oh, and Otto.

Otto, will do.
Ruta, Petersen got there first, and we were already working out an art trade, sorry.
But, being as you bid on my auction piece you do get the print pack that I sent Otto, so drop me a PM and I'll post one off.

[Petersen]

Ja, my absolute fave is the kneeling LoJo.

Okay, Petersen-- shirtless knife fight? (Apparently I've already lost my pants today).

Why for? You after that drawing too? hmm. If'n I knew whatcha looked like, I'd do a drawing depicting our West Side Story style rumble..

-Petersen....aka fitz's favorite ;)

edit* all I'm saying is I know how to make turnip stew......(see attached pic)*

[Maija]

But, being as you bid on my auction piece you do get the print pack that I sent Otto, so drop me a PM and I'll post one off.

Seriously? Super-cool!

And I'm glad kneeling LoJo is going to a good home... that I could stake out... and break into...

*AHEM* did I type that out loud?

[fitzroy]

No problem.
If you can have a look for some of Petersens art while you are in there, youcan send that to me, basically to buy my silence.

[Otto66]

The first of the ruta pieces have
been posted. HAHAHAHAHA! Nicely done, David. PM me.
I will pay cash money for that piece. :evilsmile

[Maija]

edit* all I'm saying is I know how to make turnip stew......(see attached pic)*

:eek:

:evilangry

Why you little... GNRARRG!!

Watch your back, Petersen!! That's all I gots to say. :evilsmile

Kick his ass, Fitzroy and don't give him the art!! HE'S JACKING YOUR THREAD!!!

[fitzroy]

That's a fair point.
First one to tell me that I'm great and tells me something insanely personal about Otto, gets the art

[1HELLBOY]

Those are awesome man the Hellboy ones and the Kneeling Lo Jo are my favorite

[Petersen]

I went to his house once....
plus I got art to trade for....Ruta's just trying to start trouble
no jacking here. It's all about the Fitz!

[Otto66]

Fitz is the GREATEST artist in the U.K.
Otto doesn't like blondes. Much.

[fitzroy]

Not you. But thanks for the bigging up and the personal detail.
Thanks 1Hellboy
Petersen, you the man.

[Otto66]

Fitz can draw better with one eye closed than most folks can
with two eyes open.
Otto likes wimen whos breasts... WAIT!...WHAT!... I'm excluded
from this? Well, never mind then. ;)

[fitzroy]

Funny. Now I'm intrigued and slightly excited.

[Hellsaint]

Jeez... Is the thread supposed to be censored or what? :evilsmile

[fitzroy]

Sorry Hellsaint, got a bit loved up there for a moment

In an ideal world, I'd be drawing LoJo, here's who I'd like him to have a dust up with (maybe 4 or 5 others with even bigger guns)

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/lyndonw/paintings/nun.jpg

It's an old pic, but still one of my favourites

Fitz

[Hellsaint]

LoJo as a nun... Thats interesting. This pic is good to me, coz i can never colour that well. All my pics are in pencil :(

[fitzroy]

The joys of Photoshop and painting thru channels to make great textures.
LoJo AGAINST a nun. But as a nun would work too

[Hellsaint]

:o
Whoops!!! Hmmm... I need glasses. I really like the Hellboy with moon pic. Super cool. Hey fritz, anymore pics? :p

[fitzroy]

Plenty on the site Hellsaint, working on some new ones, but I'm lazy and slow at times.
Glad you like the pics
cheers

[Hellsaint]

OH YEAH!!!! I remember seeing some of ur art in the old forum, no wonder T-wyrm said he saw them.
Hey do a second scene of ruta or something... :evilsmile

[Hellsaint]

:eek:

:evilangry

Why you little... GNRARRG!!

Watch your back, Petersen!! That's all I gots to say. :evilsmile

Hey Peterson, be careful man... U dunno what an evil turnip could do u ... Maybe she will poison ur turnip soup!!!! :eek:

[fitzroy]

The return of the no smoking lunchtime sketch

[Ken O]

Yay!! Non-smoking lunchtime sketches rock.

[fitzroy]

What do you think of it tho'?

[Otto66]

He looks British. Was he based on the artist?
KIDDING! :D

Nicely done. If I was a perp, I'd be messing myself.

[fitzroy]

Cheers Otto, nice link in to the British Batman brigade rant, haha.
Glad you like it. I'll leave the other characters to Petersen.

[Athena]

He does look kind of British. But as for looking like the artist, did Bruce Willis ever play Batman?
And- am I being rude, butting in?

[fitzroy]

I'm going out on a limb here, but aren't you my wife? And why aren't you working hard to earn money so that we can go to San Diego next year?

[Otto66]

He does look kind of British. But as for looking like the artist, did Bruce Willis ever play Batman?
And- am I being rude, butting in?
Welcome. We try and run a very open board here. Just step
right in where ever you like.

So? Fitz? Was the Batman based on the artist? Strong jawline
and all that?

[Maija]

Yay! I luvs the lunchtime sketches. Very nice.

And yet another pat on the back for continuing on the smoke-free bandwagon.

And welcome, Athena, wife of Fitz (?). Cool, you can give us dirt on Fitz.

[fitzroy]

If it is my wife, non of the dirt she has is fit for a moderated forum, it'll have to be shared by PM.
And why aren't you cooking my dinner?
7 weeks and 2 days, WOOHOO
Otto, it's not based on me, as you know, all Brits are chinless wonders. I apparently look like Bruce Willis (a well upholstered one) so when you see a Willis as... pic, then it's probably me.

[Otto66]

And welcome, Athena, wife of Fitz (?). Cool, you can give us dirt on Fitz.

ruta? Behave. Yer scaring the newbie.

Don't make me do the Jedi throat choke. Doubt the Force is
stronge enough in me to go from Michiga to Albert land. :evilangry

Fitz? Yer being modest.

[Tad]

I like the Batman a lot, especially the treatment of shadow. The only negative to me is the black air brushing on the face. It muddies the color.

I know this is only a head shot but he's wearing purple shorts, right?

[fitzroy]

Purple, tattered, super stretchy shorts.
As for the face, I've never really found a good way to create flesh shadows.
Little help?
thanks for the compliment.

Otto, modest? Yes.

[Athena]

What is this thing about purple pants?
And yes, I am Lady Fitzroy- thanks for being nice to me otto, and ruta- of course I have dirt...

[fitzroy]

Hey baby, It's a Hulk thing, see http://forums.comicbookresources.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2578

Be careful of Tad, he's an evil genius.

[Athena]

But I like evil genius.
And may I point out I am still slightly disturbed about your obsession with that nun. I suppose she is wearing purple pants as well?

[Tad]

As for the face, I've never really found a good way to create flesh shadows.
Little help?


I'm probably not the one to help since a) I'm not a painter and b) Otto doesn't like my coloring but here's something that you should experiment with.

I redid your Batman with two colors, not that I'd paint it this way, just to show two different effects. In Photoshop, set your brush on "multiply" instead of "normal" and the opacity around 10%. Multiply can also give you a water color effect but I airbrushed to match your original.

This would've been a perfect time to use by new waacom tablet that I got for my birthday but it's home and I'm not. Had to paint with a bar of soap. No telling how your monitor will show this but the point is to experiment with this technique using darker or different colors.

[Tad]

I probably should've waited til I could use the waacom, :( but it gives you a rough idea.

[fitzroy]

That's great, I will put it into practice next time.
And what does Otto know anyway? pff!
Cheers

[Petersen]

Yay to the lunchtime sketch
yay to Mrs. Fitz joining the mix..
hey, that rhymed.

-Petersen

[Otto66]

Athena is her own Hellboarder. Need not just call her Lady Fitz.

Tad? Oh, yea, the two dots on either side of Batman's head
look so much better. :rolleyes:

And what does Otto know anyway?
Fitz? The airport is just a 30 minutes down the raod.
Don't make me come over there.
'Sides, my Jedi throat choke works better in the U.K.
than it does in Albert land. :evilsmile

[Athena]

[QUOTE=Otto66]Athena is her own Hellboarder. Need not just call her Lady Fitz.

Otto, you're so sweet, but I don't mind being called Mrs. Fitz.

And, if you did jump on a plane and come over here, it would make you cry, and your Jedi powers would be useless... Shame.

[Athena]

Why isn't my quote in a box?
spot the newbie.

[Otto66]

And, if you did jump on a plane and come over here, it would make you cry, and your Jedi powers would be useless... Shame.

What is it about me that brings out the snarkyness in wimen? :confused:

[Athena]

Aaaargh!!!!! No no no!

I wasn't being snarky, honest! I meant that you would cry because England is a pile of pants (even though we have castles and stuff) and it would be a shame that you jedi powers are useless, not "shame" in a "whatever" way.

Did you know you spelt wimen wrong? It has two m's, like this- "wimmen"

X

[Anakin]

No, I think Jedi powers would ahve to work better in England.

Point 1. How many people across the pond put "Jedi Knight" down as thier religon?

Point 2. England has Henges everywhere! There's lots of Force enegry to draw from!

[fitzroy]

Good points, well made.

[Athena]

ok peeps, it's like this:
Jedi Powers do not work better in England.
1. Not many people on our little Island put Jedi Knight down as their religion, although some did. (I'm presuming you refer to the article written some time ago about the census we had where people did actually put Jedi Knight down as their religion, because they thought it was funny. It wasn't.)
2. The reason why Jedi Powers do not work in England is not just because I say so- although it should be. The Henges are to do with ley lines, barefoot druids, fertility and earthly gifts such as bountiful crops, whereas conversely, (and do correct me if I'm wrong) Jedi Powers are all about stars, spaceships and relationships that are so very, very wrong.

Although I suppose Jedi Knights resemble druids with the robes and the hair and stuff. And the sandals.

Am I about to get a pasting?
Kisses...... XXX

[Athena]

Does Otto wear sandals?

Not with socks, I hope.

[Anakin]

Sorry, Athena, I was trying to be funny. Lucas was trying to merge the basic ideas of every religon when he created the Jedi, so I figgured all the Henges might make England a more Jedi-friendly place.

Thinking back over star Wars movies...yeah, the Jedi do tend to have messed-up relationships, don't they? Maby it's a just Skywalker thing.

[Athena]

Please don't say sorry. Now I feel bad. I was joking too, but apparently to convey this I must use the magic of the "smilies" ;) or otherwise people will think I'm being horrible and not talk to me any more :(

Sorry Anakin, for making you say sorry.

I'll get my coat...

[Zombie!!]

damn i love this artwork.

How the hell do you type a chainsaw noise?

I think it's a "wrrrrrrrrrrr..." or something similar with lots of r's...

or you can just make the sounds of flesh being ripped to shreds...

which is beyond me right now... wait a minute... let me find it...

But its cool tho

[Otto66]

Did you know you spelt wimen wrong? It has two m's, like this- "wimmen"
Yer right. I do little things like that for effect. I'll write 'sides rather than
besides or 'cause rather than because.
Does Otto wear sandals?
Only at sandy beaches. Rest of the time its boots or sneaks. 'Course
with a suit or tux, dress shoes.

As to Jedi Powers... Mine works most everywhere I go. Thought Jedi
Powers had to do with training and how many mandoclorians (sp?) you
had in yer system. {Otto gestures with hand - "You will agree with me."} :D

[Athena]

Otto, you are correct. How daft of me.

[Otto66]

Otto, you are correct. How daft of me.
See how well that works? :D

[fitzroy]

Just to keep things artistic, here is one of my favourite cartoons that I have done

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/lyndonw/cartoons/rebel-yell.jpg

I always thought it was my wife that was always right, but apparently it's Otto (except about Jim Lee)

[Otto66]

I'm not always right, I just tend to make a very strong case
for my point of view. {Otto66 gestures with hand - "Now I understand."}:D

Nice biker dude, but careful with the "Stars and Bars".;)

[JohnThompson]

I'm not always right
Why do I have the feeling that Hell is about to freeze with that admission?

Nice biker dude, but careful with the "Stars and Bars"
Please listen to Otto carefully here (Now I know Hell is freezing). In all seriousness I take extreme offense at the use of the "Rebel" flag. It is a symbol of racism used to intimidate. Anyone who says it is merely a symbol of "Southern pride" or "rebel spirit" is either ignorant of its history or is intentionally trying to change its image to help spread its use.

That flag = Hate. Nothing else. Nice art, though.

[Otto66]

Scifirex? If yer gonna quote me, use the entire quote. The whole
point of the words before the comma was to lead into the words
after the comma. I'm more than willing to entertain what any and all
have to say. Doesn't mean I agree with it, but, the 2 cent value we
all put on what we write is the going rate. Its not about who is right
or who is wrong. Its about agree or disagree.

'Course ya better be
able to back it up. ;)

Fitz? What Scifirex said is the current sentiment in most of the
country.

[icbm1987]

Fitz? What Scifirex said is the current sentiment in most of the

OMG!!! the little stars on the flag are actually little kkk men...

I like the british flag much better... then again... Canada has a nice one.

icbm1987

[E. Spears]

... then again... Canada has a nice one.
Goooooo mapleleaves!!!

But seriously, I'm with John on this one. it never ceases to bewilder me as to why people would drive around with that symbol of the south's hateful and violent past on their truck.

Hey Otto66? Kidding. Lighten up. If I shorten a quote it is either to focus attention to the exact point I plan to comment on or to save space. Just trying to be considerate in most cases.

Otto66, I am sensing you are having a problem letting go of the "scifirex" ID. Allow me to introduce myself: Hi, I'm John.:D

[Petersen]

2 exceptions for using confederate flag..

1)reincatment: Not into it, but the guys that are know their history, so at least it's factual

2)Dukes of Hazard: Can't touch the General Lee

[fitzroy]

Ok, need to think carefully before I answer this one.

It's just a cartoon.

I'm British

The biker is white (redneck), does that make the picture racist for not being culturally diverse?

And as a side-bar (not in a pride way), it's the most 'hit' cartoon on the freeantz site.

If you want I can give a pretentious explaination about the 'meaning' of the pic. The biker is ashamed of the assumed relationship between his lifestyle and the 'flag' or the history of what the flag stands for. And is celebrating the riding away from any association.

Or it's just a cartoon

[JohnThompson]

Nobody said you were a racist or should do racially diverse art. I assume you are (being British) unaware of the emotions touched off by the depiction of that particular flag and just wanted you to be aware that there can be negative repercussions when depicting it.

No need to defend yourself or your reason for creating the image.

[Athena]

Do I dare?

Well peeps, everyone is offended by something for some reason or another, and that's fine, it's our right to have our own opinions as responsible members of society and human beings.
For you guys, its the flag. That's fine. I am almost completely ignorant to it's meaning ( in Britian, nothing existed before the second world war, according to my history lessons, anyway). Don't get me wrong, I have a vague idea, but not enough of an idea to be qualified to comment upon it's meaning.
However, for those who are offended, I am sure the artist did not intend this.

My own personal views are in no way affiliated with those of Fitzcorp.
Even though I'm married to him.

[fitzroy]

Like many symbols, the flag or it's image has been hijacked by certain groups and as such is immediately recognised as a negative image. As I understand it, the flag in question was originally the confederate navy's battle flag.
Lets face it, most flags, especially those of major powers can be considered negative after some of the atrociities carried out in their name or under their standard. These atrocities committed under National Security or in the creating of an Empire are conveniently forgotten when someone wants to feel Patriotic.
This isn't an attack on any of the posts, just my opinion.

So, sorry for any offence. It's just a cartoon.

As an afterthought, nobody on this board seems to have a problem with the swastika on the Hellboy pic.

[icbm1987]

We're weird like that...

And whatever Fitz... being British as you are (OMG!!! JOHN CLEESE!!!) it's ok if you eat apple pie and cheese.

Very nice Pic though... give us more if you would.

What does a crumpet taste like?

icbm1987

[Petersen]

As an afterthought, nobody on this board seems to have a problem with the swastika on the Hellboy pic.

exactly. Rednecks still use that symbol just as nazis used the swastica. I think someone (and I'm too lazy to scroll back and see who) just wanted you to be careful if you use it in the future.

It's a great cartoon The character seems pretty into Lenerd Skynerd to care about the history of the flag, he sees it as beeing a rebel.

More art Fitz! I wanna see Hellboy knocking the helmet off a ghost knight (or is that too scooby doo?

-Petersen

[Athena]

It was Mr. JohnThompson who was offended, and otto who said be careful. There is a whole argument behind it, which would make for a pretty tasty debate, but if it's going to carry on, maybe someone should start a new thread.

By the way, Lord Fitz loves Scooby Doo... :-))

[fitzroy]

Ok, let's move on. I got really hacked off there. Apologies.
New art will be up later.
Scooby Doo is too convoluted in plot for my tastes and you can never guess the villain before the end reveal.
Crumpets, hard to define but very tasty.

[fitzroy]

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/lyndonw/cartoons/babe.jpg

How's this?

[Hellsaint]

WOH!!!Thats really amazing! I wanna see more when i come back ok :D

Family portrait

[Hellsaint]

If only my parents were that cool ;)

[JohnThompson]

By the way, Lord Fitz loves Scooby Doo... :-))
I should clarify: I am offended by the use of the "Southern Cross" flag by people in the U.S. I was not offended that Fitzroy used it, I only wanted to let him know that there will be some pretty strong reactions associated with its depiction. I spent most of last year trying to get the city I live in stop flying that flag in a city park, and I heard all the debate back and forth. I'm not going to get back into that here.
So, sorry for any offence. It's just a cartoon.

As an afterthought, nobody on this board seems to have a problem with the swastika on the Hellboy pic.
I was disturbed by the chibi Hitler art posted in Conundrum's art thread. Making these negative symbols more palatable by turning them into cartoons or "good ol' boy" TV show cars ignores the acts committed under these banners. Just a few years ago the Joe Camel ads were banned here for their potential appeal to children because guess what? Cartoons appeal to kids. While I don't think those ads should have been banned, if a cartoon ad campaign were selling intolerance and hate I would support a ban.

Again, I'm not saying that I think you are racist for using a southern flag in a piece of art. In the end, you created a picture that produces strong reactions in viewers, and I had a strong reaction. Isn't that what good art is supposed to do?

Nothing but love for your art Here from now on, OK?:D

[fitzroy]

Hey John

You make some good points, and I respect you for voicing your opinions.

The 'Union (Jack) Flag' and The Stars and Stripes are tainted by so much racial hatred and oppression of minorities in both countries history that it seems laughable that The Stars and Bars is singled out for the same reasons. The States and the UK built their world standing on crushing other nations and peoples for God's sake.
Yes it is now affiliated with right wing groups but it hasn't always been the case. It has also been associated with freedom from the system. And that's how it was used in my cartoon.

I'm pleased you like my art, and also that we can discuss it.
Cheers
Fitz

Oh, just had a mooch around your site, very cool.

[icbm1987]

OMG!!! MUTTON CHOPS!!!

Do any of your relatives really have mutton chops like that?

icbm1987

[Otto66]

Would that be the nun out of the nun suit or Lady Fitz?
Surely you must get your eye for beauty by looking at
your wife?

Scifirex was funny and jokey and could do the hokey-pokey.
This "John" guy? Way too serious.

Hmmm... wonder how I'd look in a monicle?

[Athena]

ICBM-
There's this really deep discussion going on and you're on about mutton chops!

You're so cute!

And yes, all british people have mutton chops like that.

Otto- it ain't me! (honest), and I'm sure you would look lovely with a monicle. Not like the Penguin at all.

[fitzroy]

Otto, I have no idea what you are talking about buddy. Who's what now?
You'd look cute in a monacle, maybe some breeches too.
Hokey Cokey, pokey is a totally different thing.

[icbm1987]

ICBM-
There's this really deep discussion going on and you're on about mutton chops!

You're so cute!

And yes, all british people have mutton chops like that.

hey... so that means that Fitz has mutton chops... cool... I might have enough of a beard by the end of this summer to have my own... but then I'll have to shave for debate... :(

Back on topic... that's very nice... but I can't really suggest anything because of the cartoony style...

icbm1987

[Athena]

icbm- you will have to put your whiskers in a little baggie and stick them on after the debate. Eyelash glue works best.
Then maybe you could pop Ottos' monacle in and be oh-so-british with a "stiff upper lip" and all that...

he he he. :-)

[Otto66]

Regardless of what you write, when I think of Athena, I'll be
seeing that pic in my head.

Does Athena have a sister? :D

[Athena]

Yes, I do have a sister Otto, but you wouldn't like her.

[Otto66]

Unless shes younger than 22, what wouldn't I? :confused:

[Athena]

Well, she is just 22. So I suppose that would be ok. As long as you're not 70 or anything. ;)

[fitzroy]

Otto, the woman in the family portrait is based on my sister, she's 50 and would probably be grateful for some young man-love. There is no family resemblence to me.

[JohnThompson]

Otto, the woman in the family portrait is based on my sister, she's 50 and would probably be grateful for some young man-love.
HAHAHA! Go for it, Otto!

[Athena]

Unless shes younger than 22, what wouldn't I? :confused:

and (if I may be so bold as to ask) pray tell how old you are. now i'm all curious and seem to have lost the use of upper case letters.

;)

[Tad]

Watch it! Otto is the original man of mystery. If you know too much... well, you know how the cliche goes. Pray you never see him without his iron mask (which looks remarkably like a goalie mask).

[Otto66]

I've never told my age. But I'd rather a female be over the age of
21 for me to date her. Still, a sister at 50 that looks like that?
Hmmm... :evilsmile

Wimen, like wine, only grow sweeter with age. Man, of course,
try and relive their youth with dating younger wimen. Still,
the U.K. is so very far away. Best keep my lusting local. ;)

[hellboyone]

Wha? how did that happen?

[Athena]

Wimen, like wine, only grow sweeter with age. Man, of course,
try and relive their youth with dating younger wimen. Still,
the U.K. is so very far away. Best keep my lusting local. ;)

You are a strange one. Are you having a niggle at Fitz with the age thing?
:)

[Tad]

Wha? how did that happen?

icbm1987

joke! :D :D :D

[fitzroy]

Older man, younger woman. Well I'm 36 and Athena is 25. Am I reliving my youth Otto, or just a lucky git?

Back to art on the art thread
This was the auction piece, hopefully the buyer won't have a problem with me posting it

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/lyndonw/comics/afterthebattle.jpg

Bats which some of you have already viewed

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/lyndonw/comics/batman.jpg

and a non smoking lunchtime sketch which is winging it's way to Ruta as we speak

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/lyndonw/comics/hellboysnake.jpg

[Otto66]

Lucky git. :D
Should I worry that you draw your sister in that outfit?

Damn, Cortes. Always telling my secrets!
I'm under house arrest for "allegedly" keeping Hellboarders
locked in my basement for not agreeing with me. :evilsmile

[fitzroy]

You should worry that nature could produce something like my sister.
Glad you like the art that I sweated over, no, wait, you never mentioned it *cough* moving on.

[Petersen]

Ruta is a lucky girl. I like that piece very much.

I also won't be getting to the post office to send out your artwork 'till later this week..

under house arreest of my own 'till my mantel is wood color again

[Tad]

Suhweet pic for ruta!

And Otto? A thousand pardons if I'm the one mixed up... but I think the pic based on the sister in question was the one with the colonel and the muttonchops.

[fitzroy]

Athena is shouting at me to straighten this out. Colonel muttonchops and female is based on my sister not hers. Either one looks like my sister if I'm honest.
Thanks for the compliments, will get Ruta to send it back to me and I'll sell it, DAMN my kind nature.


Just in case, RUTA I'M JOKING

[Otto66]

I'm more confused than when we started. Who is the brunette with
very little clothing? Very nice drawing.

[Maija]

HOLY CRAP! :eek:

I am one lucky girl! That is an AWESOME drawing, and I'm not saying that lightly. Wow, that is so cool. I'm so excited!! Thank you, Fitz!

Thankyouthankyou. :D :D

[Otto66]

ruta is getting the picture of the brunette with
very little clothing? That seems wrong. I'm more confused that before. :confused:

[Maija]

No, no, no, silly. THIS drawing (bottom pencil of HB): :rolleyes:

I think Otto be funnin' again.

[Otto66]

I may just have to stop teasing ruta.
Most everything I do recently just seems to be going right past her.:)

Nice to know Tad is looking out for her.:p

[Maija]

*sigh*

I just expect the best in people and that they would be decent and honest. But I suppose I am just too sweet, naive and innocent for this harsh world.

:evilsmile

[Otto66]

But I suppose I am just too sweet, naive and innocent for this harsh world.

Yes. Thats it, exactly. When ever I see your posts thats how
I think of you. :rolleyes:

[Maija]

Meanwhile, you are all senior and old and crotchety.

*points at Otto's member status*

[Otto66]

Is that what that means? And here I thought I'd somehow
crossed over into being a Spanish member. :D

Must have happened at post 501. Give you young'uns
somethin' to shoot for, by crack'e. {insert spitting sound}

[Athena]

Oo-er missis.
Otto and Ruta: you two are so funny together. Please hurry up and get married so I can get a hat. :D :D :D
There's no rules about how many times I can use the same smilie in one go is there?

Big Kiss.

[Maija]

Oo-er missis.
Otto and Ruta: you two are so funny together. Please hurry up and get married so I can get a hat. :D :D :D

Otto, I have dialed "9" and "1". Just let me know if you need any help getting up off of the floor and I'll dial the other "1" and the ambulance should be at your place shortly.

[Otto66]

Athena? Where as I'm sure ruta is a very
bright, intelligent, attractive, talented person, I'd think she has better
taste in men then some hunchbacked, no-thumbed, internet lothario.

Why do married people always think everyone else should be married?

'Sides, I think if Ron Perlman was single, he'd be more her type. ;)

[JohnThompson]

Why do married people always think everyone else should be married?
I don't know, why do zombies want everyone else to be a zombie? Why do vampires make more vampires? One of life's great mysteries...

[Maija]

Athena? Where as I'm sure ruta is a very bright, intelligent, attractive, talented person,
Awwwww... wait, that's sarcasm, right? ;)

I'd think she has better taste in men then some hunchbacked, no-thumbed, internet lothario.
There's a "you can ring the bells of my Notre Dame any time, baby" joke in there. Oh wait, I just made it. :p

'Sides, I think if Ron Perlman was single, he'd be more her type. ;)
Yeah, single... 15 years younger... anyway, I'm holding out for Viggo Mortensen. :D

sigh Oh Viggo...

[Otto66]

I don't know, why do zombies want everyone else to be a zombie? Why do vampires make more vampires? One of life's great mysteries...
See what I'm say'n. Scifirex would have written something cruel and
cutting and funny. "John" writes profound. :rolleyes:

[Otto66]

Viggo called. He'll be over by supper time.

Wait... isn't he gay? :D

[Maija]

I don't know, why do zombies want everyone else to be a zombie? Why do vampires make more vampires? One of life's great mysteries...

HAHA!!

You've figured it out.

I love your avatar, btw. It means that I hear all of your posts in my head in a Sam the Eagle voice.

And how did Fitz's art thread become "The Bachelorette"? Oh right, it's ATHENA's fault. ;)

Otto: Viggo called. He's stopping by your place tomorrow morning to kick your ass. (How quickly the Otto-Ruta romance sours).

[JohnThompson]

So, equating marriage with the undead and the blood-suckers isn't cruel or cutting? :confused:

I'll admit to not being funny, but I take offense about the not cruel remark.

And Otto? Something about your new avatar gives me a creepy "American Pie" type of cake-love mental image of you.

[Otto66]

Otto: Viggo called. He's stopping by your place tomorrow morning to kick your ass.
You do know that hes an actor? And the only fights hes ever won are the ones in movies? Doubt he could kick his own ass.
(How quickly the Otto-Ruta romance sours).

No. Thats about how long most of my relationships last. :evilsmile

[Otto66]

And Otto? Something about your new avatar gives me a creepy "American Pie" type of cake-love mental image of you.

See. Sick and twisted. Yer coming back strong. ;)
'Sides, CAKE is for EATING... :D

[Maija]

You do know that hes an actor? And the only fights hes ever won are the ones in movies? Doubt he could kick his own ass.


ooooOOOOooooo... jealous! ;)

I like him as a photographer/artist/smart guy; he's actually not so hot as an actor. But he is otherwise hot.

Better cut this out. Wouldn't want to see Jonell lock this off for being DEEPLY OT when it's Fitz's art thread and all. Sorry Fitz!

{insert Otto expounding about threads going OT being part of the natural circle of life or something here.} ;)

[Petersen]

Fitz, post a lunchtime sketch before this gets too far off track...:)

[JohnThompson]

'Sides, CAKE is for EATING... :D
Watch the double posting, ICBM will go ballistic. Get it? Ballistic!?

Anyway, your oral fixation? Too much information, dude.

Back to the topic of this thread: Fitz, great art.

[fitzroy]

Thanks John
Petersen, will get one done as soon as, I feel your pain.
Otto and Ruta, Jeez, talk about sexual tension. Otto feels sexy and Ruta gets tense.
I thought Vigo was, lets say, into Streisand and Minelli?

Cheers

[Otto66]

Don't the British use the word "POOF"?
As in, Viggo is a Poof. ;)


Oral... oral... oral...
Anything I could write at this point would get me banded not
just from this board but from the whole CBR forum.

Scifirex (aka John Thompson)? Dirty PM coming your way.:D

So Fitz? Who is the brunette? The art on that ROCKS!
{Compliment provided by the SweetasPie Co.,LTD}

[icbm1987]

Oh god... why can't anything ever stay on topic here...

and Scirifex... you can't reason with otto... I've tried... he's too busy with his cake (eeeewwwww).

And what brunette are we talking about? Is that about the picture of Athena?

icbm1987

[Otto66]

Staying on topic? Where is the fun in that? :evilsmile

[Athena]

HAHA!!


And how did Fitz's art thread become "The Bachelorette"? Oh right, it's ATHENA's fault. ;)



Yeah, yeah blame it all on me. ;) Jeez, a girl goes to work and all of a sudden she gets compared to a vampire/zombie/werewolf.

All I wanted was an excuse to buy a big hat with feathers in. I like feathers... So soft...

Ott0 66: Don't the British use the word "POOF"?
As in, Viggo is a Poof.

Otto: that is sooooooooooo politically incorrect. You might be in trouble now ;)

I had noticed, by the way that you and Ruta have swiftly moved away from the subject of getting married :D But I'm not going to mention it any more, lest I be compared to mythical beasts. Again.


ICBM: I doubt very much that the brunette that was posted was me. I haven't scrolled back and looked for/at it yet, but I'm sure Lord Fitz will let us know. - It' not, I've just looked. I'm waaaaaay better looking than her. snarf.


BIg Kisses: I've had a good day today.

[Otto66]

Athena? Thank you for returning some bit a sense to this thread.
Glad you had a good day. :)

As for Viggo... if he isn't one than, no harm done. ;)

Let me be the first to say... AWSOME!

The faces of your wimen do tend to look the same. Athena?

[fitzroy]

Occassionally, I'm lazy that way. Thanks tho'.
Can I come to the wedding?

[Otto66]

Can I come to the wedding?
Only if ya buy Athena that hat. :D

[fitzroy]

Not a problem. Go go gadget hat.

How's the script coming along?

I feel the need to draw LoJo again as a lunchtime sketch, thoughts?

[Otto66]

LoJo leans against a stone slad on the viewers left, with both
guns blazing to the right providing the illumination. Tense face
with gritted teeth.

Now that Hockey season has ended, I'll have much more time.
'Sides, if you where working with Moore, ya wouldn't rush him.
He'd put a curse on ya or some such. :D

[fitzroy]

You don't have to do it Moore styley, I've read one of his scripts and they take longer to read than draw.
Cool idea on the LoJo pic. Will do.

[Otto66]

Thanking you in advance.

Now off the PC and go spend some time with that wife of yours.;)

[fitzroy]

Now off the PC and go spend some time with that wife of yours.;)

Now that Athena has found the joys of the forum, she's on it more than me...nearly.
Athena is watching TV at the moment. I've been and washed the dishes so I'm back here for a while. Joyous rapture.

A bit of silliness

Otto: ?

And, you guys, don't let the Fitz convince you he's hard done to with the dishwashing stuff. When it comes to chores, he's a one trick pony.

Well, maybe two tricks.

Three max.

ICBM, only kidding dude. 'show a little backbone will ya'

Otto, sketched this while watching TV last night, so it's a bit crap.

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/lyndonw/comics/lojoaction.jpg


He's a bit fat and I forgot the gritted teeth

[Maija]

I dunno, I kinda like the grim cool cucumber expression. It's his left thigh that seems a bit problematic-- in the shading maybe and the twist of his hips.

Otherwise, damn, I wish I could draw such stuff while watching TV.

[fitzroy]

Grim is cool, but he's been grim in every one so far.
The thigh was during an exciting bit of TV so didn't get much attention, and I was tired. Excuses.

Have you got the *ahem* package yet?

[icbm1987]

Otherwise, damn, I wish I could draw such stuff while watching TV.

I was thinking the same thing...

The angle that the left arm is shooting at is kinda weird though...

I'm cool as a summer breeze...

icbm1987

[Petersen]

I like it.

very interested in seeing what you and otto can come up with...hope it's very noir...with lots of gang busts and old cars and dames and diagonal shadows caused by venitian blinds..and old buildings and tommy guns..ooh yeah...and and and...old safes filled with the whereabouts of mobsters who knew too much

[Otto66]

All great ideas, Sir D. But that sounds like 16-24 pages and I'm working
on a quick 6-8 pages. Nice colour job BTW.

Fitz? Nicely done, but, had the teeth been gritted, it would have shown
him in more dire straites. Sort of toward the end of a fight where he has tried everything else and now has no opinion but to draw his weapons. Really like the muzzle flashes. Everything else is spot-on.

[fitzroy]

Nice background Petersen, when you get the original LoJo kneeling it would be interesting to see a painted Petersen version.
Otto, 6 -8 pages sounds perfect.
Aah, the gritted teeth, basically I forgot. I was going thru my Willis collection and became distracted.
ICBM, see above. It was a sketch, so a few things are a bit 'manky'

A cartoon done for work, the babe is Athena.

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/lyndonw/cartoons/heroes.jpg

[JohnThompson]

Nice pants-hams, Athena!

[Petersen]

nice shirt hams as well...? was that over the top?

[Ken O]

nice shirt hams as well...? was that over the top?

No, Over the Top was that arm wrestling movie.

[Petersen]

No, Over the Top was that arm wrestling movie.

It combines all the drama of a child custody case with..ARM WRESTLING

kramer vs kramer was a child custody movie..but is was missing something......oh yeah, ARM WRESTLING!

paraphrased from Norm McDonald on SNL

[fitzroy]

It doesn't star me, so it doesn't exist in my head

[JohnThompson]

nice shirt hams as well...? was that over the top?
Nope, they're firmly snuggled under that bra-thingy. Pants-hams are nicely exposed, though.

Fitz? Ever get the feeling like the whole Demi-Ashton thing is just one huge "Punk'd" on Bruce? Don't let it get you down.

[icbm1987]

Dang... Fitz is a lucky guy... She's beatiful and extremely nice...

I like the Green Guy alot... that goofy expression does wonders for the soul. And it's goofy in that simple way... not stupid like the Tick.

Good works man... good works...

I got Fitz art today!

The drawing looks even better in the flesh. So cool! It'll go into the Corner O' Art around my monitor.

And you knew I had to have a copy of that "Is that a tongue or what... is... it?" drawing. :p

I'm going to put up the smoking one where my mom the health nurse can see it. She'll be really impressed. :D

Thanks again, Fitz!!

And the latest LoJo drawings rock. That is all.

[fitzroy]

Hey Ruta, glad it got to you ok, and that you like all the extras.
Also, the LoJo's.

[Otto66]

Lady dumplings? You saucy begger. You'll get us thrown
in the Nic. :evilsmile

I like the Cartoony LoJo... that's just stylish.

And the grimace is cool... I wonder what the rest of his face looks like.

I've seen the other two on your site... the Judge Dredd thingy is cool... but the whole green zombie thing is kinda weird. It's a good drawing... I just think that green isn't a good colour for a zombie.

poor fitz is feeling lonely...

icbm1987

[Otto66]

The Judge Dredd pic makes me feel like a perp, the other
pic makes me think like a perv. :D

Thanks

[Otto66]

So, Fitz. You and the lady wife have a nice weekend?
'Case ya missed it, ruta is afraid
of lox and smoked salmon. Her peanut allergy is deadly.
Since you have her address, any chance you could... no...
wait... this could be used as evidence. :D

[fitzroy]

We certainly did my friend. Lots of cleaning then doing absolutely nothing.
lox as in liquid oxygen? Strange phobia.

Great avatar, love Calvin and Hobbes. Go to www.ucomics.com for your daily dose

[Otto66]

Lox as in bagels and lox you ninny. Great link, 'course I have all the
Calvin books.

Bet ruta would enjoy "Bob the Squirrel"
since one of the characters is Jermaine the Ethnic Peanut.:D

[fitzroy]

I can't believe you called me a ninny. You are British, admit it. Or I'll shoot you dead, again.
tis a great site. C&H on a daily basis plus Garfield.

[KoryBing]

He's gotta be British. He called me "Miss Marple", which I had to do a Google search on to figure out it was a British thing.

[Otto66]

{Otto on a writing break}
Its all the tea and crumpets and the Dick Van Dyke book of Britain. ;)

KB? Had I said, Nancy Drew or Jessica Fletcher you would
have had to google them too. 'Sides Miss Marple has always
been a favorite.

{Breaks over. Back to work.}

[KoryBing]

You offend me, sir. Nancy Drew was a favorite book series of mine as a wee child and I used to sit around the television and watch 'Murder, She Wrote' with my grandparents. So there. Not my fault Miss Marple is obscure. :P

[icbm1987]

You just called Miss Marple obscure? I feel so much like flaming you... forget about bloody Nancy Drew and go read some Miss Marple or Poirot... they are MUCH better stories.

Gah!! Kids these days...

icbm1987

[Maija]

Not my fault Miss Marple is obscure. :P

*spitcoffee*

That distant "WHOOMP" sound was Agatha Christie exploding in her grave. From most widely read author, ever, to obscurity in less than a generation. :rolleyes:

[icbm1987]

*spitcoffee*

That distant "WHOOMP" sound was Agatha Christie exploding in her grave.

If the Fitz shoes... wear it.

[KoryBing]

Why do I suddenly feel like everybody hates me and totally devalues my opnion because I don't know who somebody is? I don't go into histerics whenever somebody tells me they haven't read 1984 or treat someone like a unintelligable retard when they tell me they don't know what an Atari is. I'm not a big mistery novel person. So sue me. I've never gotten into things like that. That doesn't make me an unintelligent person. If it will redeem me at all I was in 10 Little Indians when our theater produced it. God, I never meant to offend anybody by saying that I don't know who the hell Miss Marple is. You'd think I had just killed the Pope.

[Maija]

Kory! I would not hate you and devalue your opinion because you don't know who Miss Marple is! I just thought it was funny that something was such a cultural fixture as to be pretty much a cliche not that long ago (there was a slew of Miss Marple and Poirot made-for-TV movies in the eighties, for some reason) but long enough ago that you're unfamiliar with it, and so I'm laughing at my own datedness a little. I am by no means offended that you don't know. I was composing my post as ICBM was posting his, so it seemed like you got both barrels.

I couldn't think of you as an unintelligent person. You're one of the wittiest people on the forum!

:o

I'm sorry!

Man, I don't know when to shut up. Some days, I shouldn't be allowed on the internet.

[icbm1987]

You'd think I had just killed the Pope.

That would have been funny... because then Fitz the Mad Nun would have shot you till you bled.

no one likes my jokes... this is sad.

and sorry for reacting that way... I do freak out when someone says they haven't read 1984... and I usually end up lending them my copy to get them to read it.

icbm1987

[Tad]

Kory, thank God you were in the production of Ten Little Indians because I was soooo hatin' on you for that Marple thing.


ICBM? 1984 was sooooo last century.

[Otto66]

{Otto on a break.}
The Pope is dead? :confused:
{Breaks over. Back to writing.}

[zefo]

I do freak out when someone says they haven't read 1984... and I usually end up lending them my copy to get them to read it.

same here for WoT. i mean, it's been printed in 15 languages, you would think more people had even heard of it.

back to this book your talking about, i have no idea what it is.

[Otto66]

You offend me, sir. Nancy Drew was a favorite book series of mine as a wee child and I used to sit around the television and watch 'Murder, She Wrote' with my grandparents. So there. Not my fault Miss Marple is obscure. :P
{Otto on a break.}
Well, ya never know what someones reference points are. The Nancy
Drew books, for their genre, are very well done. And Jessica Fletcher
would be more your grandparents type entertainment. Have to admit,
Miss Marple ain't exactly high profile.

Shame on those jack-a-ninniers for piling on you. Shame. :evilangry
{Breaks over. Back to writing.}

[E. Spears]

same here for WoT.
What is WoT?

-rObert

[Tad]

You don't know what WoT is? I so HATE you! I sure hope you were in 10 Little Indians with Kory!

[E. Spears]

You don't know what WoT is? I so HATE you! I sure hope you were in 10 Little Indians with Kory!
Maybe I was!

What's 10 Little Indians?

/I hate you more!

[icbm1987]

You don't know what WoT is? I so HATE you! I sure hope you were in 10 Little Indians with Kory!

Go and open up the RHOD TPB... find the section near the end where the goblin says "tragic"... I have the same response as the king.

thank you for your time.EDIT... That sounds really arrogant of me... I apologize... I didn't mean it that way.

And I repeat... if the Fitz shoes... wear it. wtf? Am I stoned or something?

icbm1987

[KoryBing]

You don't know what WoT is? I so HATE you! I sure hope you were in 10 Little Indians with Kory!

Har! I laughed out loud and frightened my roomate.

:P Sorry for getting sore about it, I'm a little touchy on some subjects, and that one hit a nerve. It's mainly caused by people getting all crazy and saying things like, "You've never seen <insert random movie title here>!?!?! What's wrong with you! I won't value any of your opinions from now on because you've never seen <insert random movie title here>." They wouldn't even listen to me when I tried to tell them '2001: A Space Odessey' was one of my favorite movies as a kid or that I knew what a Morlock was besides being referenced in the X-men. I know a lot of random things, but Agatha Christie-related material? 'Fraid not. I do know who Poirot, is, though. Seen the show a couple of times.

WoT? Are you referring to Wheel of Time? I have Eye of the World sitting on my table at the moment, but I still haven't opened it. I hadn't even heard of it until my boyfriend told me about it last year. I have to read Eye of the World because whenever he and his friend get together it's nearly impossible to figure out what they're talking about.

[Maija]

WoT? Are you referring to Wheel of Time?

Oh, THAT'S what that is. I thought it was Wagon of Tapioca by Louis L'Amour.

If you haven't heard of Wagon of Tapioca then I have no respect for you or any of your opinions. It's a sprawling tale of the Old West about one man's epic journey to deliver pudding to a party of frontier settlers trapped in a high mountain pass.

You should read it sometime or else I'll hate you.

(Poor, poor Fitzroy's art thread. Derailed once again. This is the big hint that you'd better post some more lunchtime non-smoking sketches!)

[fitzroy]

Don't mind me, I had a good night's sleep while all this was going on.

Miss Marple, for those in the dark about such things, was a character based on a very famous lady in our country's past.
Her first name, unusually was in fact 'Miss', this caused much hilarity during her school days and led to 'Miss' killing one of her fellow pupils with a cricket bat aged 9 (miss Marple was 9, the bat was only 3).
On the run, and living on a diet of bread and diced butterfly cakes, 'Miss' fell out of society until joining the war effort in 1938 as a Spitfire pilot.
'Miss' was shot down over New Zealand during a pretty sticky dog-fight with a fleet of Irish Terriers. Crash landing with only a flashlight and two pieces of cotton wool for survival. Living off the land until the end of the war, she met and fell in love with a sheep called Andrew. They married and had 8 children, all of them were delicious.
It was in New Zealand that her sleuthing skills would be developed during the now infamous 'case of the wet bra strap'.
The rest I'm sure you all know...

Good morning

[fitzroy]

Well, I've settled on a style for the LoJo story (if Otto ever stops having breaks and gets some writing done). So here's todays lunchtime sketch. A few wrinkles but I'm happy on the 'look' of the character.

Later on I'll put it in the thread 'proper'.

Thoughts?

[Petersen]

Thoughts?

Love the look.

however is lojo sitting on a clound of his own creation? was that soldier behind him alive before he let it rip? harsh justice indeed!

all kidding aside, I can't wait to see this thing come together.

[fitzroy]

Thanks Petersen.
Great fart gag by the way.

Me too, if only Otto... oh never mind, he's probably on a break.

[icbm1987]

Very nice...

I like how you left some traces of the lines you pre-sketched with...

Your work is far better than what I seem to be able to crit.

[Maija]

omigod... can't... breathe... laughing...

That's a fantastic drawing, Fitz. I really can't wait to see the LoJo story drawn in your style doubles over laughing again but lordy *gasp* I shouldn't have read Petersen's post first. Oh God.

I'm sorry. That's even funnier than Tad's fart joke.


tears... running... down face...

It's the alarmed Nazi zombie that clinches it.

Still laughing... oh it hurts now...

[fitzroy]

Well I guess thanks should go to Petersen for cheapening the whole affair.

Glad you and ICBM like it tho'

I guess the Miss Marple story just wasn't funny then, all that work and I could just have done a fart gag. Damn.


*PARRP!*

[Petersen]

Well I guess thanks should go to Petersen for cheapening the whole affair.
*PARRP!*
I din't cheapen it..I enriched it!! Still love the drawing Fitz.

[fitzroy]

I'm British dude, our whole culture is based on fart gags, and losing the colonies.

And I love you...

Oops, read that wrong. Erm, yeah, did you see the manly sport last night?

[Maija]

So you DID make the fart joke on purpose!!

Your Miss Marple story was very clever, by the way, but maybe too clever. You have to remember your audience and this forum is all about the fart jokes.

I hope Otto has written lots into his script. :rolleyes:

[fitzroy]

Like the Hellboy/tongue pic, I didn't see it until it was pointed out to me.

I just hope Otto actually finishes it, one fart joke will be enough.

Just to keep on thread, here's another from my site, this was a present for a friends girlfriend (her in the pic) She's a big vampire fan, so I stole the Bolton pic pose and re drew it

[Otto66]

Done. Sorry. No fart jokes this time.
Maybe in the next story. So, pages in the mail
to you Thursday or Friday at the latest. Petersen?
You'll be getting a copy also. What took so long is
that you wanted it "Moore" style which was panel
descriptions and word balloons. 'Course you artist types
have yer own way of doing things, so just use my
descriptions as a guide. The panel grid layout is important
to the story telling, but you'll understand better once you've
seen the script. Let me know what you think once you've seen it.

Nifty vamp pic. Your LoJo studies also made me happy.

[Petersen]

did you handwrite it?
e-mailing a document would have been easier if you had typed it.

look forward to getting it anyhow and doing a cover that pleases the fans

[Otto66]

You'll better understand once you've got your copy.
As mentioned, its a short 6 page story.

[fitzroy]

Otto, I told you I was joking about the 'Moore' style script.

Can't wait for the script. Any new characters that you can PM a description of so, I do my character designs while I'm waiting?

[Tad]

Oh, NOW you tell him. AFTER he took the time to grow out his hair and beard. AFTER he's invested in outrageous finger jewelry. AFTER he's stripped naked under the moon for magick rituals. NOW you say you're joking.




True, he was already doing the last one, but still....

[Otto66]

Oh, NOW you tell him. AFTER he took the time to grow out his hair and beard. AFTER he's invested in outrageous finger jewelry. AFTER he's stripped naked under the moon for magick rituals. NOW you say you're joking.
You know me, only too well.

Fitz? There is a State Trooper named Tanner and an old fellow
named David Webb. Other than that, wait for your copy of the
script.

[Petersen]

an old fellow named David Webb.
:) :) :)

[Otto66]

... who dies a horrible death.

KIDDING! :evilsmile

[fitzroy]

Tad, uncanny description of Mr Moore there.
David Webb, mmmmm, I think the second half of this character will be very, very handsome.

And old.

by 2nd half, do you mean the lower half? ya'know..the dribbly part

[Ken O]

Just saw the vamp pic. Nice work. I likes it.

[icbm1987]

Vamp pic= Hott.

And the blood is cool...

icbm1987

[fitzroy]

Petersen, the second half will be very handsome, the David part will be crusty and bitter.
TWyrm, I still can't compare to your fine artwork, but I am trying. THanks tho'
ICBM, cheers dude

[Otto66]

Boys? If yer gonna fight, I'll change the name to Tad Cortes. :rolleyes:

[fitzroy]

That would be swish, Tad 'Tad' TaddlyTad would have been my choice.

[fitzroy]

'Proper' bit of art, just for the hell of it

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/lyndonw/sketches/child.jpg

and some 'not', or rather so whoever it was can see the zombie pre-green

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/lyndonw/sketches/warrior-zombie.jpg

[Hellsaint]

U know... Does she have to show her boobies to the zombie be4 killing it? :D
Jokin! Who is the person in the first pic? Really nice!

[fitzroy]

If you check the colour one earlier in the thread, she has got a (tight) top on. :D
The kid was a commission from the end of last year.

[Hellsaint]

Hmmm... Well.. the pics are really good for one thing. Hoping for more pics...:)

[Otto66]

Shows what a little colour will do. Me? I LIKE this version much more.
Nice pic of the baby. What a sweety.
