I wanted to try to continue this page... since we have had some good traffic here lately... If anyone wants to join this page just e-mail me...

I started up a new challenge at the Art and Story Forum ...if anyone is interested... you should check out their show and sign up for the forum... it's really informative... and lots of beginner and professional artists are on there talking on lots of different subjects.

Just posted page 5 for The Ninja Follows. Enjoy (or not).

Ninjas

Just added page 3 and 4 to my old post.

Hellhound

I just imagined this super-rich dude, buying the biggest house, biggest car...and of course the biggest dog...A hellhound. So he contracts with a sorcerer and hilarity ensues.

I had fun with this one, enjoy...

Hermes: New God in Town

I've been wanting to get to this challenge. I was able to kill two birds with one stone in my entry for the Art by Committee Challenge I am part of. Our challenge for this week is:


Here is my entry!

My Mythical Creature...

My Mythic Creature is

Big foot....

Here is a quick renditon of one mythic creature... I plan to post more soon and maybe put up a better picture of this one...My scanner is down and my digital camera is no replacement.

I am letting the Challenge sit for a while so people can have more time to post. And to get more people interested in posting.

Later,
Bob

"IT'S ON!" Challenge for May: NINJAS!

"IT'S ON!"

When I was growing up all I ever wanted to be was a ninja. I would take a black t-shirts put one over my head and tie it in the back for a mask. Then I put on a pair of faded black sweat suit, and stalked through our front yard.

1980s was the days of the ninja from Snake-eyes in GI Joe, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and the American Ninja movies, they permeated the popular culture.
So here is my tribute to my favorite Asian export The Shinobi "THE NINJA" bum bum bummmmm.... (That was sposta be cheesy 80's ninja style music")

Draw a ninja, any type of ninja...Have fun with it!

Enjoy,
Bob

Toejam and Earl

I have had some sketches of these guys in my sketchbook for a while now. I have been planning a larger drawings of Toejam and Earl.

I was reminded how fun this Sega video game was when I downloaded it for my Nintendo Wii a couple of months ago. When I was in school my friends and I would spend hours on this game. This game has amazing imagination from the weird player settings(rocket Skates, total bummer,schoolbook) to the unconventional villains (giant Gerbil, mad dentist and nerd herd.)

If you don't know these characters...check these games out!

Here is some sketch work I did for Toejam and Earl.

Cool '80 Hiphop Aliens from Funkatron!

Enjoy,

Bob

No aliens yet...

But I haven't been quiet either ^^ I have made a few things worth showing here. If anyone has any Feedback, that's always appreciated.

First thing is a short story I made for an assignment of the art academy. The teacher said: "live in a garbage can for a week and show me in images."

Here is part of the story I made for him:

Here is the rest of "The Garbage Monster".

Second thing to show is a drawing I have worked on for nearly a year. The details nearly killed me and I would have stopped long ago if I didn't really enjoy scribbling away at this lovely tree.

I'm planning on adding some paint washed in the background to add more depth.

I'm also working on a new short story and I might show some sketches of the characters. One of those is actually an alien, so it would fit into the monthly challenge ^^


That's all for now!

Andar and the Alien

Lunch time

Lord CoalTrain- Special Envoy to the Intergallatic Court of Her Highness Queen Penny.

A snake in a robot suit (I had some ideas left-over from last month). Pencil on copy paper.

THE "IT'S ON" CHALLENGE FOR APRIL...ALIENS!

THE "IT'S ON" CHALLENGE FOR APRIL...ALIENS!
Ever since I was a small child I have looked to the stars looking for signs of extraterrestial life. From the thought of other alien civilizations, planet hopping UFOs or a close encounters with actual extraterrestials; my imagination reeled with visions of aliens.

What is your vision, Are your aliens cute or scary, sexy or monstous?
Show us what you think about aliens...


Have a great month guys...
Enjoy...
Bob

Andar vs. The Deathbot

I don't know if I'll have time to draw a new robot by the deadline, so I'm just going to have to post one from the archives.

Washington Avenue Banner Contest...

This is an ongoing "contest" to have your banner on the top of the page until we grow weary of and create a new one to replace it.

Specifications:
1. Must have "Washington Avenue.Blogspot.com" on the Banner.

2. Has to be 9 inches long, 2 to 4 inches high and set to 72DPI. Format should be a indexed GIF or a reasonably sized JPG.

3. Must look awesome and not blurry.

Other than these three specs feel free to create and exploit!
There are no prizes but bragging rights and a feeling of a job well done. (yeah, sorry I'm one of those starving artist, and cheap to boot.)
Good luck, People.
Bob

Upgrade!

I'm trying to establish a better posting habit...
Here is my entry for March: Robots.

I did a lot of prelims for this Challenge, because I love knocking out a sketch or two a day involving robots jumping around. I will prob load some of these sketches in the next couple of days.

The title is "Upgrade" I'm going to let the title guide your thought...
Enjoy!
