"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
