http://www.landunknown.com a daily sketch blog Wed, 03 Sep 2008 03:15:30 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I haven't had time to draw anything new over the past few days, so here's some really old ink from about 4 years ago. This is the raw scan of what later became the cover of a birthday card. And yes, that's me on a monster-killing spree. http://www.landunknown.com/2008/09/monster-killing-spree/ According to some pompous jackass next to me in the pub, when one orders a Guinness in Ireland, one calls it "an Irish Priest". While it's possible, it just sounds like dumbfuckery to me, especially coming from the guy it was coming from. He walked up to the bar and ... http://www.landunknown.com/2008/08/irish-priest/ A concept sketch for an upcoming batch of t-shirts (I'll post the finals for those once they're done).

Especially the unpacking and waiting for your internet to be reconnected. Now that everything's plugged back in and actually working, here are a couple of sketches. These were drawn in a bar...

This guy is one of many. Think Borg, but even more sinister. It all has to do with the hair - which I'll explain more in later drawings. His ray gun is a little... limp. Not sure what happened there. http://www.landunknown.com/2008/08/the-purple-pompadour/ [caption id="attachment_21" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Tentacle Boy a'la stubby pencil"][/caption] I found a really kickass Photoshop brush today called Stumpy Pencil and decided to try it out. Drawing in Photoshop never felt so good. Usually I'm a strict paper+pen+scan-it guy, but this could change that. This character is a really old one of ... http://www.landunknown.com/2008/07/tentacle-boy-resurrected/ Went to see Hancock tonight, and really liked it. Partly inspired by the movie, and in part by The Superest, here's "The Drunk." He brings bad guys to their knees with nothing but his overpowering booze-and-b.o. stench, and can melt metal with his toxic liquor-breath. As an added bonus,  he can ... http://www.landunknown.com/2008/07/the-drunk/ http://www.landunknown.com/2008/07/hairless-and-hairy/ While eating lunch at the restarant downstairs from my apartment, the old lady from this page was sitting with another old man, named David (I think it was her brother?). They, well mostly just the lady but David chimed in from time to time, were having a really loud conversation ... http://www.landunknown.com/2008/07/fussy-old-lady-others/ Not much to say... they're monkeys, sort of. http://www.landunknown.com/2008/07/monkey-sketch/
