Space Babe (Outer Space Men style) (finished)

Here she is!  Vector art, based on the Four Horsemen Studios Outer Space Men space woman figure.  Retro Blastoff, sweetheart!!

Space Babe

Might take this one to final...color her similar to the Four Horsemen's Space Woman from the Outer Space Men, so I think her spacesuit is orange and black, with brown hair...

Acid-Green Alien Symmetrical-Robot Pilot(s)

Another character, developed at the same time I was working on the game (but not for it, because I liked the sketch too much and decided I'd rather keep it.)

I like the symmetry of the piece and I've been trying to think of a way to develop some kind of symmetrical background.  It could also make a cool quick animation, where the body of the robot suit opens to reveal the little guys piloting inside, moving levers and pedals, and all the green lights and glows.

Daphne Pin-up

Here's a pin-up of Daphne from Scooby-Doo in the back of the Mystery Machine.  I had some female figure studies I took one into Illustrator and somehow I ended up with this.  She was originally on a big pillow but it wasn't planned to be her.  Not that I'm complaining, mind you, I always had a thing for Daphne, she holds her own with other cartoon girls like Josie and her band.  I guess dreams can come true in the back of the Mystery Machine!  ;-)

60's girl under blanket

I've been practicing sketching again, and working on a piece for a show next month.  Here's a sketch, I've been referencing 60's photography annuals and the pictures are so cool, the models have great style and hair and presence, they make great inspiration/source material for drawing.

Mystery Drink Girl

There used to be a restaurant in Columbus called the Kahiki, it was an awesome Tiki Bar. While in college I would have my birthday party there. It's decor was on the same level as the Tiki Room at Disney, it put other Tiki bars to shame. You could order the "Mystery Drink" and it was delivered in a large bowl (with dry ice smoking from a volcano in the center!) They had a special waitress who delivered it to your table, she was dressed in a sarong like an island girl. Anyway, they bulldozed it to put up a Walgreens.
