My Part For a Collab Under Construction

img038 The Scanned Version Of MY Part Of The Collaboration

The scanned drawing has been made last week. Imagine23 from deviantART wanted to do a collab with me about my characters vs. his.

Tatsunoko-VS-Capcom-box-art He wanted to do the collab reflecting to the parody of the game cover. Now I’m not too much of a crazy fan of anime action games like that, but Imagine23 showed me this cover for an attempt to have me get the picture that he wants to do an action collab with our characters against each other.

For the details of my part of the collab, I wanted Juan to have the boating oar to give Imagine23’s characters A NASTY BEATING, probably like the Ren and Stimpy banned episode, “Man’s Best Friend”. For Aaron, I wanted him to cower out as he’s like Double D; he doesn’t want to fight, so he goes Juan with the nasty beating with an oar. I copied an oar Juan’s holding off the R&S episode. Hey, every artist/cartoonist has got to get the skill-related inspirations from the stuff that’s well-made and not all crappy, right!? For the spiky background, I was about to ink and color it variously, but ugh, it was too much. I’ll just square off the background. Above Juan and Aaron, I’ll add in the text that says:

“The Juan & Aaron Show

VS.”

For under VS., I’ll have Imagine23 insert his series there. Now on to finishing it. I’ll tell you guys if the inking/coloring/texting above characters is done. I’ll post the coloring version. I will NOT have this on deviantART until Imagine23 did HIS part. His part is when I’m done with MY part. Then it’ll be his turn, he uploads the full version into deviantART, then I’ll upload it into MY deviantART to share to you guys, here, etc.

Been Commissioned for Father’s Day

For Father’s Day, my dad wanted me to make a Snoopy card for my grandpa since my grandpa is a Snoopy fan. I got paid $1 (not enough, but awesome, though more would be nice). My grandpa LERVED IT VERY MUCH! The next time I see my grandpa, I’ll be sure to ask him if I can borrow it for my attempt to show you the card I made. If you’re a Snoopy fan and if you don’t mind fan art, you’ll love it, trust me.

In the meantime, here’s the original images I found off of Google images that I traced every Snoopy/Woodstock pics off of:

Snoopy_Dog-cartoon

Woodstock

To spoil all of you with context information of those 3 images traced in mostly on the commissioned made-up card for Father’s Day, for the 1st image of Snoopy dancing, I traced everything for the front cover of the Father’s Day (which is not the best, but I did good, though). For the last 2 images (which I’m referring to the image of Snoopy hugging a heart and just an image of Woodstock the bird), I mixed those 2 together with Snoopy bear-hugging Woodstock (yep, I’ve replaced the heard with squeezed, bear-hugged Woodstock), which Woodstock didn’t appreciate it too much. XD Snoopy hugs Woodstock just for his attempt to expose the spirit of Father’s Day, which Woodstock understands, but he tried to get for Snoopy to realize that Snoopy was squeezing him. For some difference with the Woodstock in the card that whomever drew that last image did not add on there. I added in the mouth/teeth in the facial expression that he’s squeezed by Snoopy and his enthusiasm towards Father’s Day. Also, I made Woodstock’s toe-tips aimed in the air.

Aimed in the air like Edd when he was pressured from Ed from the bear-hug from “Who’s Minding the Ed”:

(I rotated in this angle for the sake of providing you guys of how I made Woodstock’s feet aim at this rotation)

R.I.P. Abigail Perkins

R.I.P. Abigail Perkins: 2001 (logical guess)-2010


Abby, the cat of mine and my mothers has passed away yesterday. ): It's her time, nothing killed her but time. She has been suffering a lot lately. She's in a better place now. I remember my mom getting her as a kitten and she had to declaw her front paws just to get for my dad to accept Abby in the house before my parents got separated/divorced. She was a sweet and loving kitty. She didn't like other animals but Cheech (my dog), it's amazing how both Cheech and Abby got along from 2008-2010, Cheech is all wild to the cats and Abigail hated the guts of other dogs. She was playful, even for old age till she started to suffer enough that resulted to her death. Now that she passed away, we might get my dog, Cheech a new buddy that qualifies for Cheech, me AND my mom. Cheech gets lonely when we have to go somewhere that bars pets.

The Artist Duo

Before I start off with the subject, I’ve turned 18 last Monday. It was an alright birthday. I got some small gifts, like mini chocolate bars, cards and some money (the money was in most of my birthday cards). Long story short, I haven’t seen the last of the birthday stuff/gifts/events.

 

Without further ado, time to elaborate on “The Artist Duo” blog article. Earlier at school today, my friend, Jason H. brought up a team artists duo thing where he does the background and I do the cartoon characters. He’s the visual artist and I’m the cartoonist, as he was thinking of those type of facts, he decided to be my background artist. If needed, I can tell him what background is needed and he can do the background stuff (kinda depends on what background I request out of him, though).

 

Not all backgrounds you’ll be seeing in my cartoons. I’ve made some colorful backgrounds all set for my cartoons if needed (may seem like it doesn’t fit the entire camera size on Toon Boom, but I can fit them myself and also, they’re made in Photoshop). Here are the ones I’ve got all set so far (feel free to use them, as long as you credit me please):

I have another friend of mine from school that can work for me, with the music stuff. His name is Ray W., he’ll be the musician of my cartoons. So far, the arrangements of my 2 will-be-working friends has been doing good.
