There's a mosquito in here and it's really irritating

This was a christmas present for my sister and her boyfriend. It's a Futurama reference, but I've also always wanted to make something that somewhat resembles the poster for Vertigo which happens to be awesome.

 

This one was for Brotherman, and features us in all the games we played together growing up. The title is supposed to be like this.

Regardless of the fact that we never played that.
I wanted to put these drawings up here last week after finishing them, but it would have ruined the surprising surprise of getting an A1-sized poster on christmas.

A Nightly Occurance

"Vintage look with a new age feel"

It seems like everybody and their monkey has done a retro poster for Star Wars recently, and hell, I just want to fit in. However, the level of Star Wars is reaching critical levels on by blog, so here's a vintage-ish poster for Minecraft.

Threw it together this morning. I may do a few more like it, because they are surprisingly quick to make.

An Endless Capacity for Consuming

Forgot to upload these after dinner. In my mind devourers have skin like a rancor, and as you can see they have a wicked lure like an anglerfish. A way more badass lure, though.
Badasser? Badderass?
Also I am in no way saying all girls are obsessed with shoes, I'm only saying that about my girlfriend.
SIDENOTE: Does anybody else have to continuously edit their writing because they rhyme unintentionally?

A Markable Improvement

I was just updating my folio and among the rest of the utter crap I found in there, turns out I'd printed off the original Space Ship picture. Time for a COMPARISON SHOT.

An Entirely Original Thought

That is exactly the way solar wind works. Trust me, I skimmed an article about science once.

Star Wars Magazines part 4

A fourth installment! I did say there were many. There are many more to come, too. This one was another collaboration with Cousin Joel. He's full of one-liners, that guy. Also three-liners!
Two-liners are forbidden.
If you have even a cursory knowledge of Star Wars you'll know when this magazine was intended to have been published. I imagine it as something commissioned by the Empire higher-ups to make employees want to stay where they are during holiday periods. I mean, they have tractor beams to stop them leaving if they even tried, but making the employees excited to go see the garbage compactors for a holiday is so much easier.

Therapeutic Illustration

Quick drawing to distract myself from a mind-bending headache.

Star Wars Magazines part 3

Threw this together last night and this morning. Thanks to Cousin Joel for The Fett Diaries and The pitfalls of desert life. I expect him to actually write those articles.
Spending lots of time on my super secret project! Exciting times, people.

Also, if you like Star Wars, Steve Thomas has made an amazing set of posters recently. Get on that.

Internet Heroes

I drew a picture of my favourite creative people.

And I'm shocked you don't know who they all are.
Mike Krahulik & Jerry Holkins
John Hodgman
Jonathan Coulton
Wil Wheaton
Adam Savage
Kris Straub
Scott Kurtz

Because giant animals are cool

And crustaceans are the best of all animals.
Just a warm-up drawing but I liked the shadows, so it's up here now.

That Thing From That Time

Ages ago I put up a smooshed-up collection of a bunch of pictures I did of a theme. These are some of those pictures - unsmooshed.

I've also added a thing over there on the right for new visitors. It's just an easily-updatable link list to a few of my favourite of my drawings. That was badly worded.

Needs more cowbellsprout

Doctor Andehpants asked me to draw this. I still don't know why.
Just so you know, I had no intention of putting it up here until I realised it was late and I'd only worked on secret projects today that I can't put up here.
Thus, you receive ChristopherWalkensprout.

Spacecraft

Just whipped this up quickly. Space-travel in this game would be unbelievably awesome, but I don't see it ever happening.
I called it Spacecraft, but there IS no spacecraft otherwise there would be a reflection of it. Maybe it's behind him? I just thought if I added one it would look too busy and be ugly.
Obvious fact; still obsessed with Minecraft, and can't wait for for huge update later this month. It has Nightcrawler-like features!

BAMF!

Nightcrawler-like in that you'll have the ability to pop through a hell-like dimension, move a few metres, pop (or bamf) back, and be hundreds of metres from where you started. This is exactly what Nightcrawler does, and thus is awesome. It could only be cooler if something Doctor McNinja-ish was added.

He's my favourite.

I've been nabbed to do some commissions, so, pretty excited about that. Hopefully (in ages, I guess) when that all finishes up and is released I can put it up here too.

EDIT: Whoah! What if you could go a dimension deeper, and travel even further. Inception style, but with distance rather than time.

Real conversations

CLICK FOR EMBIGGENMENT. Also free pie! This is exactly what happened when I was in the car with Brotherman earlier today.
The lesson to take away from this is when purchasing a bus, never go to a self-checkout.

I bet this guy could lift it.

I loves me some Minecraft

Delicious, delicious Minecraft.
After the image was finished I spent a while screwing around with it to make it look sort of painted. That turned out okay, so there may be a few more like that.

The Midnight Train to Blog Updates

Adventures! Just drew this today. I've found that everybody has a different interpretation of this picture. 'Everybody' may happen to be as few as three people, but I'll leave the interpreting to the viewer.
Here's a close up: 

On a completely unrelated subject, grappling hooks are way cooler than jetpacks.

Attention Brotherman

That is all.

And always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom

FFFHHWWWSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Skidooski

Haven't really been doing many drawings the past week or so, but here's something I just whipped up so you don't hate me. It might make a nice background, actually. [time has passed] The orange variety is now my background.

So, drawing suggestions? Since there hasn't been much of that recently.
EDIT: I just realised how huge the guy is compared to the snowmobile. Also his legs are weird. Curse you, late night drawing.

Man vs Truth

Oh Bear Grylls, when will you get it right?
He actually did cross the channel, you know. Get this though: he rowed across it.
In a bathtub.

Naked.
That is more ridiculous than what I wrote.

I'm on a chair

Hellooo, readers.
Look at your blog, now back at mine, now back at your blog, now BACK at mine... Sadly, yours isn't mine, but if you stopped and saved the following image it can link to mine!

Look down, back up. What was that? It's a new drawing of stonehenge made of butts!
What's to your right? Back to me, it's two RSS feeds to that thing you love!
Look again. The RSS feeds have stayed the same! If I could change them to diamonds I would have done it a long time ago.

If you look an axolotl in the eye, you become one

This image is a tall one, so this gives me a good excuse to put in A PAGE BREAK.

Repeatedly Disclosed Desires

Birthday present for Kayne.

I won't say happy birthday though, because that's not until Monday. Kayne loves him some Portal and ye olde Nintendo (Kayne loves him some ye moderne Nintendo too), so I have expertly COMBINED the two (using sorcery) as a birthday gift. Anybody who's ever played Duck Hunt has had the urge to shoot that stupid dog. He laughs at your failure. What kind of faithful hound would do that?!
The asshole kind, that's what.   Kind.  Of hound.
I've got no love for that dog regardless of whether or not he was born in the eighties, the eigh-ties.

75% Radiation-Free!

Another silly Doctor Who thang. I hope that dalek never persuades the DavrO's to pour themselves, because he'll then realise he can't pick up the spoon.
Also he doesn't have a mouth.
EDIT:
Aw man, I forgot those flashy lights they have on their heads. I always forget those flashy lights.

Mah Bucket

Silly thing I drew for Rutherford Jones.

Vogue Leader

Star Wars magazine #2! This is one of my favourite things I've ever drawn. The fact that Biggs Darklighter's (potentially regular) column is being used in this issue purely to brag about knowing Luke Skywalker is hilarious to me. I can just see him in the editor's office turning in his article, a mixture of comtempt and pity on the editor's face; "Really, Biggs? It's come to this?"
Well done on that line, Joel! He was more than happy to think of a few articles, as was Scientist Jones.

Empire Magazine

I have a hilarious image in my mind of Palpatine laying on the floor of his bedroom in a nightgown and slippers writing an entire magazine about himself, posting it (to himself), and then getting really surprised and exited when it arrives in the mail. Pouring over every article, putting the poster on the wall, taking the quizzes. Ahahahhhh... Yes. The articles suggested on the cover were thought of not just by me, but by Brotherman.
Good guy.
So, this whole Star-Wars-versions-of-real-magazines thing is going to become a trend here at the Scott Wears Pants offices, as Joel and I came up with about twenty more.

Do not feed the readers

By now you should have learned that things I draw are in no way expected to make any sense whatsoever.

My least favourite part was drawing the butts

BAM. Fan art, as it were. If you're not a listener, Tom and Alex have full-body suits called zentai, which they wear and dance in on occaision.
I very briefly considered putting Fishbear in it.

The Fishbear Strikes Back

The birthday one is the saddest thing I've ever seen. I wonder why he doesn't have any friends. Could it be because he's a freak? A threatening carnivorous monster? A jerk? That was suggested by Tom.
And then there's the Twitter Whale/Fail Whale one suggested by Jem. It looks like he's being kidnapped by the birds, or he just really doesn't like flying.
EDIT: This is how I wrote 'Happy birthday Fishbear', because that's what I think his lack-of-handwriting would be like. And yes, that is my drawing glove.

The issues

Before you say anything, yes I am aware that Mario now has a drill.
Does the fact that it just flat out says 'BP' on his cap make me as bad a political cartoonist? Given, I did try my hand at that once.
Meanwhile, our good friend Lazy McNeverUpdate Rutherford Jones made me aware of what is possibly the greatest cover of a song of all time.

Fishbear

I seriously love Fishbear. He's great.Great, but horrified at his own existence. Which is a little sad.
If I were to do five or six drawings just of Fishbear, what kind of situations would you like to see him in?
EDIT: The 'like' button seems to be jumping around wherever it pleases, right in the middle of posts.
DOUBLE EDIT: OH SURE. As soon as I write that, the like button goes back to where it should be. GO TO HELL, BUTTON.

This is becoming too common

Actual true story this time.
Today I bought a huge new 25.5" monitor. It rules so very hard.
