Hellboys and Hellgirls

So quantum believers, as you no doubt looked up on your arm-grafted Light-Puters, i got one of my early breaks just recently to me, perhaps upwards of a decade or more to you. This would be the Hellboy art show in philadelphia, at the local comic book shoppe Brave New Worlds. so i made two pieces, one i spent some time drawing, and the other i spent more time writing. One lacks the quality of the other. So this one right here is the funnier one, where i made various characters as they would appear in the Highschool Yearbook. Big news? Or old to you by now? this mother sold. I originally put a $15 tag on this, but for some reason, it sold for $25. That like totally covered cost of paper and frames, for these guys, and all the others that didn't sell ... and subsequently the frames of those broke, not allowing them to be reused ... and so on.

So this one here is the one i spent artistic time on, which did not sell. Which i'm totally fine with. Any hypernet rumors you read about my tearful lament were greatly untruthified. But i think it looks neat, and i take pride in the ubber corny poem i made. Guess thats it. Enjoy the 3rd in what is considered a almost reasonable short time of updates.

Busy and Lazy

Well folks, i've been mostly lazy since my last post. In ... Decemeber? woof, sorry about that. Also for the last several months (but not all 8) i've been retardo busy on various projects. One of interest is animation for a live stage production of 'Harold and the Purple Crayon'. Check your local theater's schedule for details and show tours. They needed about 55 minutes of animation. I was Assistant Director for a summer animation workshop, and lead various interns to create this piece, trying to do as little work as possible, only to do touch ups at summer's end. Well most of the interns fell through in either not completing their scenes, not getting them to me on time, not timing their sections to the music, or arranging the timelines in confusing and obscure ways. They wanted the 2 weeks between the workshop's end and the 1st stage rehersal to finish their scenes ... well in general they didn't finish up to standards, save for very few moments. About 10% was usable.

So for the following 2 weeks (including the moment this is being written) I had to finish and correct all their work. As well as create entire scenes from nothing. (needless to say, these scenes all done by me, had little tweaks and corrections later on) During these 2 weeks, i had to adjust tweak and create whatever they needed, while simply finishing uncompleted scenes. On average i was getting 1.5 non-consecutive hours a day. Some days i got 4 hours not in a row, some days 20 minutes. Needless to say i was fairly irratable toward the end of it all. Me and the director, great guy in all honesty, were pleasantly wanting to kill one another the whole time. We were both pissed at the beginning state of animation, and all his changes were expecting me to be as good as i boast. Even at modest levels, i'm phenominal. Regardless, he asked for 10 hours of animation, and with my other paying job in the way, i would only have 6 hours to work on it. If i gave up showers, sleep, shaving, and any version of food prep.

Anyways, i can't comment on the ending to this story. But in the middle of my morbidly sleep deprived state, i made a small comic about one of the HUGE plot holes of Hellboy 2. If you saw it, enjoy how much time the movie wasted with its story. If you haven't seen it, this is basically a story spoiler, but not a movie sploiler. Regardless, i loved HB2's visuals. And i loved small sections of how the story unfolded. But here is one of my frustrated moments of the movie. I plan to have many more Plot Hole Theater comics. I have plenty to say on my favorite Trilogy. stay tuned

DooWopBoy

Here is a picture for a crazy-ass story I have in the back of my head. I am a pretty big fan of Hellyboy. One of the interesting things about him is that he grew up to his adult form in something like 2 years. Well I figure during that 2 year span, there had to be some time he was an awkward teenager. This would have happened in the 50s and of course Hellboy, trying to fit in with other folk, would have dressed like a greaser. So here is teenage greaser Hellboy.

Hades Lad

Well i started this a few nights ago, but then had to pee. Instead of getting all the way out of my chair away from my computer, walking down a flight of stair, opening the bathroom door ... etc etc ... i instead changed my clothes into a jumpsuit, bent over to rip a hole in my crotch seem with my teeth, jumped on my bed and peed all over the room while twirling wildly. Sadly i hit my head on my ceiling mobile of The Electric Mayhem and clipped my brow on Animal's snare and was conked out until a few hours ago. So i finished this neato pic of Hellboy but i don't know if i like the shading technique I'm using or not. So for your viewing pleasure here he is, jumping somewhere for some reason, in shaded and unshaded glory.
