after a painfully long wait....more sketches

After messing around with the colored pencils some more, I've discovered that I really like the terra cotta color. It makes the drawings have that old photo look, check out the guy with the bow tie on the right page to see what I mean.
I'm thinking about making the little guy on the bottom left a painting, not really sure what he is but it could be interesting. The devil guys and the monsters on the right page were from a Taschen book about devils, those Renaissance fellers came up with some disturbing imagery!
Copying some old advertising characters and trying out some designs for some figurines I want to make. I bought a bunch of old Fisher Price little kid toys with the big round heads and cylindrical bodies and decided to repaint them with my own characters. If I ever get some done I'll post pictures.

great stuff. Just got me a little notebook that I hpe to fill up like these pages. I esp love the 2 page left side gloopy thing swallowing the round thing...

Thanks Sean, I look forward to checking out your sketchbook as well! The small notebook format is really fun and convenient, can't wait to see what you come up with.

You're a sicko! You're a genius! I like both qualities!

I totally dig all the extra melting, the devils, and the Tubby Town people. I'd love to see the figurines if you make 'em.
