F.F.A.C. week #5, or is it?

Jubilee of Generation X comic book

Most drawings are free-hand here, or if it delves into computer graphics arena, mouse-hand. THIS is a straight copy from a scanned in image, so I cannot take credit for it's wonderful delightfulness other than that I made use of Adobe Illustrator to translate it from Chris Baccahlo(sp) drawn art to M.C. vector art. I liked the design, so I re-drew it based on the professional comic artist's into a digital format that I can re-size and re-color, and anyway, it is a lot more complicated than scanning it in and pressing a button for those that do not know. A pen tool is used and I draw (trace) over the flat image just like a kid with tracing paper except I have more skill than a kid with tracing paper and I have to do it with a mouse and a computer monitor. Almost the same thing was done with the entry on June 16th here, I drew with the computer. Still, it was not my original design so I feel guilty. This was done in 2000, I think.

Morbius

Last of the "junk" from the early 1990's and hopefully the last of the irritating, "Is that eye skewed or is it just me?" posts. Call it my "popculture picasso" series, faces distorted. Anyway, i think it is important to see the old stuff and the new stuff, and not just the "best", or "perfect" stuff as it is just a matter of opinion. Some people aren't in total awe of my abstract stuff being that they, the viewer, are more objective in mindset, and others love my abstract stuff as they are more favored in subjective viewing and see no talent in simply portraying a face or a landscape, or a thing that anyone could do if they tryed. I like more original one-of-a-kind stuff myself (anyone can, of course, copy them after but they will be then taking the objective route, depicting an abstract objectively rather than subjectively. Does that make sense?) .
Tomorrow another (or the last) copy from pop culture/comic books and more original stuff next week. Maybe even an abstract drawing.

Joker, The

Not the best work, just really old work. Kind of looks to me like you could cut the face down the center and have two good half pictures of the Joker but connected side-by-side, looks sort of skewed. Left side of the image... Where's the hook pulling the mouth back in dis-similar proportion the the right side? Or is it just me? He has a weird face, it may be just me. He is rather ill-proportioned at the best of times.

Swamp Thing from 1993

I made this in '93. It might be nice to take it further with photoshop, see what comes out of it or from it after these 15 years.

And, where are his arms?
(George Carlin. I saw him perform live at UCSB on one of his college tours in 1992. I loved the comedy and the man. I am going to miss him.)

FFAC #4, or what can be created in 30 minutes

It is a happy turn of events that places big words in the middle of Janice Dickinson's "shocked" face; itwas SO totally planned... heh.
I always see many ways to continue the work but since I am not getting paid to work these to death or beyond and doing faces in marker pen is like asking for problems (unless I take them into Photoshop and blend the text and ink to a more wedded marriage or composition; a little blur here, a little smudge there) what you see is what I am putting out there for these once a week faces quickly sketched and fetched for your bemusement.

Big freaking spider-vehicle

Remember that hard-drive crash that wiped out my computer a ~decade ago? I mentioned it the 16th of June, right below? Well, I thought it wiped out the only copies I had of this 3D spider vehicle I made (and the original 3D Studio Max file I made it in) but I found it. I mean the 3D file, the shoddy jpgs were on a site I made and have not maintained in a while. I need to get work on that (http://www.ragedoll.com/), no reason it needs to be out there representing me and looking so amateur, or at least so ten years ago-neglected non-updated looking.
