Speed Painting and a Tank

A while back I joined a cool art blog devoted to speed painting. It's very challenging for me. The rules are: no use of the eyedropper, and you have to stop after 30 min. It's great practice. I'd like to thank Heather for letting me join her cool blog. These are mostly from cartoon backgrounds done in the 30 minutes.

And on a different subject, here is a tank. I'm sick of it for now, so I will post it.

and with color

It's a Trap!!!

We did some spring cleaning the other day. We both went through a lot of stuff to see what we could throw away. I came across a pencil drawing I did back in 1999. It's really not the greatest drawing. I really don't know what I was thinking. I did it before the movie came out. The problem is I've kept it over the years for some reason. I'm never going to hang it up, but I don't want to trash it. So since it's May The Fourth, I've scanned it and will post it here. And it will stay here like Han Solo in carbonite. I've also lowered the DPI to save anyone from viewing its full potential. The original will stay rolled up and stored somewhere. Sigh...

Anyways, here is my brother and nephew at the safety kids fair. They always get their picture taken with the Star Wars characters when they go. And for some reason they always throw random characters in the picture. I think that's lame. 

So I made it better. 

No one wants a random rebel in the picture. Who does this guy think he is? So I took him out and made my brother as evil as he can get. :)

The best part about this post is scrolling back and forth between these two pics. I also think my nephew has the right idea about how to hold a Jedi weapon.

And one more thing.

My brother is a fan of a show that I will not mention here. We had a discussion about if the Star Wars world collided with this certain show, I think this would probably happen.
