Mundane - More or Less #10

The (other) beautiful game... Darts! Never have I been so personally challenged to succeed and yet fail all the time. Unlike Golf in which you can never have a "perfect game" - A hole in one every single shot... you CAN have a perfect game in darts. The Pro's do it often. It's referred to as a 9 darter. The absolute minimum you can score from 501 to 0 is with 9 darts thrown. I to date have thrown a personal best of 13 darts only and have been throwing 4 days a week for 3 yrs now to give you some idea of this task. It's a game of millimeters between success and failure. One little twitch of your body and the dart goes astray. A breathe at the wrong time maybe or maybe your arm muscles are different today than yesterday (ie: you worked out the other day). All can effect your accuracy. It's amazing really that the human body can correlate the trajectory from what the eye sees to the release at the end of the fingers and put a small projectile just short of 8 fee away. It's a frustrating game too because even though you are competing against someone, you're not really. You are competing with yourself. There is no defense in this game... just your body and your head and a race to the 0 before the other guy gets there. You are after your own personal best basically. As much as I will swear at my darts, at my hand, at my mind... I love the game. I really do.


Beware the creeper

Just had an image of a creepy kinda thing so drew it. Don't read into it. Idea's pop in and out just as quickly and often have no real meaning behind them other than "what if"?

Tony Bourne fan art

A good internet friend of mine is an exceptional artist in my opinion and a fantastic guy. Check out his webcomic at the link below. This image is just drawn in his general style but with my own style as well.

The 388th

Mr. Creepy

Went with a creepy vibe today. The smudge on his head is some white out but it showed up on the photo when taken. Ah well. You get the idea.

Question for you all... if I were to set up a patreon account where you can contribute each month a minimum and maximum amount  per image I upload... would you be interested in supporting such an endeavor? Consider it a commission type of thing. Patreon supporters would let me know what they want me to draw perhaps? Something along that line. Let me know your thoughts or even suggestions. Thanks for supporting me.

Green Goblin

Playing around with a perspective angle I have never used before. Challenging. Didn't quite nail it but ah well... gotta pump out a thousand images before you make that amazing one. Chalk this up to one of those thousands made over the years.

Who?

Continuing on with the Ghostbusters theme... drew this guy with my own version of the pack/gun thing they use. I figured it was an appropriate time to use the Kirby crackle.

Sad times

When you draw Mcque-esque flying boats... you need to include flying whales right?

Line therapy

Some folks color when they just need to zone out for a bit and relax. Others sit back and listen to music and so on. I tend to draw but a specific type of drawing... usually technical stuff with gears and metal and that sort of thing. That's what took place last night. Just some mind numbing lines being laid down and this is what came of it.

Ian Mcque inspired sketch

I have a whole ton of stuff printed off that is from Ian Mcque. I adore his work. the other day I used an image I found on the web as the foundation for this sketch. Not much of my sketch is all that original from the original I guess. I rough sketched the basics and then went to town trying to be creative with angles and machinery parts, etc. In the end its different but the same you could say. :)

Original found here


Character studies and expressions

As often is the case... some of these are based off existing artists as I study them and some of these are all me. Hard to say which being that I drew these several days ago and I can't even remember what I had for breakfast today.

a DAB will do ya

Today's drawing was a tribute to one of the stupidest things (in my opinion) that took place in 2016... the bottle challenge and the Dab. FYI... when you have an inch of water in a water bottle... the odds of landing a flipped bottle is about 90% so it's not a real hard thing to accomplish. Do it with an empty bottle or a full bottle and you will get a bit of respect from this guy. And then there is the Dab dance move. SO annoying. Ah well... that's culture for you... full of annoyances. I will live.

Hero Bar - Xmas tribute

Trying my hand at a comic strip kinda thing. Drawn 100% on my Samsung Galaxy Note5 mobile device using Sketchbook Pro.

Corporal Punishment, The Badgerine and Ladybug Man chillin' at the local watering hole for hero types.
