OTMF: Baby Deadbeet

Here is the first of the October Toys Mini Figures. Baby Deadbeet is a Scott Tolleson design scultpted by George Gaspar. I envy Mr. Gaspar's talent.  I enjoy painting and drawing and sculpting, and I imagine myself to be an okay artist, but I have a ways to go until I can even hope to be near this good.  It blows my mind how an artist can sculpt such a small character with the amount of detail this little guy displays.  He comes loose and in flesh tone from http://www.octobertoys.com. I guess I'll just keep painting these little guys until I've acquired Mr. Gaspar's amazing skills.

For the Wolf

Hey all, I just finished this illustration for the alternative rock band For The Wolf from Oklahoma.  I'm normally not into harder sounding music, but I listened to these guys the whole time I was drawing this piece and have to admit that they have some pretty catchy material.  I'm probably way off here but the bands Evanescence and Pretty Girls Make Graves come to mind as possible influences.  They're not limited to just rock though.  Their sound ranges from poppy to dark and moody.  Definitely worth a look if you're into alternative rock or punk bands with girl singers. Check 'em out here: http://www.forthewolf.com

Also, they plan to release a new 7 inch later this year called Dark Dark Dark. Find out how to get involved and help finance this project on their Kickstarter page: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2066690617/for-the-wolf-dark-dark-dark-ep-on-7-vinyl

OMFG! Series 2 paint jobs

Received my Kickstarter package of the OMFG series 2 flesh colored and exclusive black sets in the mail a week or two ago.  What an awesome surprise and happy way to start off the new year.  I've already painted the black set and have posted a little video I made with my crappy camera.  By the time series 4 characters are chosen I hope to have two designs finished for submission. Until then, I'll just keep collecting and painting them.

TMNT Repaints: Mondo Gecko and Fugitoid

Mondo Gecko SOLD

As a young skater wannabe, Mondo Gecko was always one of my favorite good guys, but even as a kid the lack of detail in his paint job bothered me.  I remember taking an ink pen and filling in the eye sockets and nose of his skull knee pad.  At the time I might have liked his bright yellow shirt and purple pants, but for my custom job I've given him a black shirt with a Misfits-looking skull to match his devilock. I think he looks a bit more scene kid now.

Fugitoid

I liked Fugitoid just as much, with all his cool weapons that could attach to his body.  I almost didn't repaint him because I've always liked his original paint job.  Even though I think he is completely silver in the comic,  I like him better with more of a steampunk look.

Greetings from Krampus

Of those who tell lies to get their way,

Who cause dissension with what they say,

Of those who accuse but claim no flaw,

May Krampus come and take off the jaw.

Of those who would see the sacred spoiled,

Whose lust would allow the innocent soiled,

Of those who would harm to achieve the prize,

May Krampus come and take out the eyes.

Of those who are greedy and selfish all year,

Who lust for power and gain by fear,

Of those who refuse from sin to depart,

May Krampus come and take out the heart.

                                                                     -J.B.W.

Zombie Portrait

This is my first attempt at a zombie portrait.  I was commissioned a few weeks ago to zombify this young lass and her little doggy and was allowed some time today away from my family to get it done.  I've drawn zombies before from my imagination and have rendered my friends in charcoal as they sat for hours in front of me, but this one was drawn from a pic I had on my cell phone. I'm happy with my work, but given the opportunity to do more, I know there is room for improvement.  Rob Sacchetto I am not, but I feel I have potential.  Thanks for looking.
