30 Day Drawing Challenge - Day 3: Scary Movie

When I was a kid, like a really small kid, my babysitter was watching The Exorcist downstairs. When I came down to see what he was watching, I was confronted with the most terrifying thing I'd ever seen in my life. I'm not sure how long I watched it for, but it scared me for a long long time afterwards.

So I thought for today's challenge I'd combine it with something I loved as a kid (and still do actually), Garbage Pail Kids. Let's call it "therapy".

30 Day Drawing Challenge - Day 2 "A Super-Minimalist Movie Poster"

Red or Blue?

30 Day Drawing Challenge - Day 1 "Animated Movie"

Steve is such a funny character from an extremely funny movie. Animated or not, this is up there as one of my fav movies.

Oz Comics fan art

Here are a couple of illustrations I did for Oz Comics weekly theme challenges. Hopefully you can guess where they're from ;)

Tributary 14 - Evil Dead

So I've dropped the ball a bit on this daily drawing idea. Currently I'm being beaten about the brain and body by the busy stick.

As if to rub salt into the wounds this isn't even a new drawing. I drew this for the Oz Comics weekly challenge a while back. But I haven't posted it here yet, so it kind of counts.

Luckily for me it fits the theme, because the Evil Dead movies were the tippity top of my gore lists as a young teen. I was actually quite obsessed with Horror movies as a young'n. So much so, my older brother (and his friends) thought I'd grow up to be a serial killer or some such. Sadly I think they were only half joking.

Of course I'm not a serial killer. But I still like the odd horror flick, stupid and bloody, though they are.To clarify, I've absolutely never killed anyone. Ever.

Looking forward to the new Evil Dead "Re-imagining" too. Groovy!

Tributary 13 - Sonic

The first games console I owned was a Sega Mega Drive. Before that I'd only ever troubled the gaming world with a ZX Spectrum. So owning Mega Drive was like jumping from VHS straight to Blu Ray. Ok well maybe not quite. But the shear speed and colour and ball busting 32bit power of Sonic was like a revelation.

Thanks Sonic. Thonic

Tributary 12 - Lord of the Rings

Finally getting to to see The Hobbit today. On top of that, my son and I have just jumped headlong into LOTR Lego for the PS3. So who better for today's sketch than this crazy little mixed up fella?

Tributary 11 - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Snow White was one of the first movies I ever remember seeing at the cinema. Certainly the first animated one anyway. Dopey was my favourite, and he still manages to make my kids laugh even to this day.

Just goes to show, it doesn't matter what CGI jiggery pokery you throw at something. A funny character is funny character, no matter how you create it.

Tributary 10 - Iron Giant

"I AM SUPERMAN"

My little tribute to The Iron Giant. If you haven't seen this movie, I suggest you do so. Pronto!

Tributary 09 - The Goonies

I recently showed the Goonies to my kids and the early scenes of Sloth chained up and screaming had them pooping their pants. I told them to stick with it though, because loveable old Sloth is a good guy at heart.

Tributary 08 - Droopy

..he's happy

Tex Avery. Genius. That is all.

Tributary 07 - Garfield

I used to draw Garfield a LOT at Primary School. Apparently I used to teach school friends how to draw him too. I say "apparently", because I don't actually remember doing that (sorry Karen). But then I don't seem to remember much of anything from early childhood (apart from TV and Films of course).

This one's for you then Karen :)

Also thanks to Adele (adelekthomas.blogspot.com.au/) for pointing out that "Fanuary" is actually a charity theme month where Ladies (and Gents) sculpt or colour their pubey regions into interesting designs all in the name of Cancer Research. It's actually all for a good cause so visit here http://www.fanuary.com/.

So out if respect for that and for not wanting to confuse people. I've changed my theme month to "Tributary" which is way more clever anyway and doesn't evoke images off downstairs bits :)

Fanuary 06 - Gremlins

When I first wanted to do Fanuary last year, Gizmo was the first thing I drew. Then I got too busy to carry on. So I thought I'd revisit Gremlins again this year.

Fanuary 05 - Trap-Jaw

No self respecting nerd child of the 80s would leave He Man out of their fanboy lists.

He-Man: Bulging muscles, teeny furry undies, day-glo colour palette plus a wealth of cool baddies. Trap Jaw was my pick of the bunch.

Fanuary 04 - Garbage Pail Kids

I absolutely LOVE the Garbage Pail Kids stickers. LOVE them. When I was a kid I wanted a job creating them, actually I still do. So I took a little extra time with this one, because I wanted it to look like an authentic GPK design. I even tracked down a post from a guy who made his own and very kindly supplied the eps logo and the font for the names. In an extra geeky twist, I put my own face in there and fulfilled another fantasy while I was at it.

Plus, in true GPK style, I created a a "B" named card to keep with tradition.
