People have often called me "Egon", both because of my considerable nerdiness and because my hair tends to spontaneously form into a Harold-Ramis-esque pompadour without my realizing it. <br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0JU5w5_jqKPVDns6J-L84c4sEdlWCfmBybcl6byCL17QM2SI687EJN3NNnO3n2drIQ5YCt1YcAOAbq4KOdxtqhB3QLJdk4D2XfPhY7s87YoRV-2RVJQeJ-iQW42w6XocR6E2uzOXSOQ/s1600/Egon.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 333px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0JU5w5_jqKPVDns6J-L84c4sEdlWCfmBybcl6byCL17QM2SI687EJN3NNnO3n2drIQ5YCt1YcAOAbq4KOdxtqhB3QLJdk4D2XfPhY7s87YoRV-2RVJQeJ-iQW42w6XocR6E2uzOXSOQ/s400/Egon.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542973203948797218" border="0" /></a>Jon Gutierrezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00373048110844622783noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509693581037249498.post-33098469369798257542010-10-31T02:18:00.001-04:002010-10-31T02:31:13.133-04:00Ghostbusters Geistbusters by ZachThings have slowed down on this blog a bit, but we keep picking new characters to draw, and the next characters chosen were the Ghostbusters, so I figured what the Hell. I wanted to show them busting somebody, and thought it would be fun to put a famous ghost in the trap, rather than some generic ghoulie. I suppose I could have put Deadman in there, or Starscream, but I just couldn't resist the pun potential in choosing <a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1068333565">Poltergeist</a><a href="http://thereallawblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Geist"> </a>from Justin Aclin's comic <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Hero-House-J-Aclin/dp/1897548486">Hero House</a>. <br />

Collins' new comic</a>). I even got fancy with my computer coloring, throwing a Mike Dimayuga panel into the picture frame and using some glowy filters on Egon's stream and the ghost trap. We lose Egon and Ray's ankles, but we're all better off, to be honest. As much as I love coloring, I may try to do an actually good black-and-white sketch next time, rather than going for the finished look. <br />

Collins. Not only did he create <a href="http://thereallawblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Destructor" target="_blank">Destructor</a>, he's introduced me to literally dozens of indie comics I would never have known about otherwise. So when he chose <a href="http://www.alltooflat.com/about/personal/sean/2008/05/comics_time_boys_club.html" target="_blank">Boys Club by Matt Furie</a> to be the next subject on the LAW blog, I looked it up and was blown away. Four guys (A frog, a... wolfman? A... bear? Some other thing?) just hanging around, eating, drinking, doing drugs, being naked, spouting catchphrases and vomiting. Funniest shit ever. I was particuarly intrigued by the wolfman-looking character, Landwolf, whose appearance I can only assume is inspired by Teen Wolf. In homage to the T-Wolf, I drew the following:</p><p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVpkgiYwj9bbl-YAvvrG2Q311K5ZJN9qbd80Qm_lP8muPB0k0hbUNSpL6pfhcUczGuuSAiumkc7lUANdu0eIZ0u2hdYZOAgmKLkBICDRLKbJjgyFh2HCCbXP1zDR_PhLyTd3_puGdcgcyk/s1600/BoysTownColorSm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVpkgiYwj9bbl-YAvvrG2Q311K5ZJN9qbd80Qm_lP8muPB0k0hbUNSpL6pfhcUczGuuSAiumkc7lUANdu0eIZ0u2hdYZOAgmKLkBICDRLKbJjgyFh2HCCbXP1zDR_PhLyTd3_puGdcgcyk/s320/BoysTownColorSm.jpg" /></a></div></p><p>It's Landwolf in Teen Wolf's basketball uniform, about to dunk over the heads of his friends Andy, Brett and Pepe.

Tolkien treated his Middle-earth mythology like it took place on the Earth we know, in an ancient time lost to history. So <i>technically</i>, the Omega Effect could have transported Batman to Numenor in the Second Age. You just <i>know</i> he'd have resisted Sauron's corruption, fled the destruction of the island kingdom with Elendil, helped found Gondor and Arnor, and gone on to become an inspiring symbol of good. So that's why I drew the emblem of the Kings of Gondor with the Bat-symbol in place of the White Tree. It's not because I can't draw Batman himself, no sir.Sean T.

That was my favorite part. This is the Captain Caveman head smash ambush in advertisement form. Everyone seems to be having a great time, which is the magic of advertising. It's also the magic of Mel Caylo, who had the Captain Caveman idea for this week's post.

Is that a massive beard, or is his body furry and peanut-shaped? I'm sure this was explained in the cartoon, along with where his powers come from, but it has literally been decades since I saw one. So I drew him as one of my favorite superheroes, Captain America, and I dressed his son like Bucky in the background. <br />

Essentially, there were three teams of Hanna-Barbera characters each led by a recognizable character who competed in Olympic-type events. The teams were-The Yogi Yahooeys (led by Yogi Bear), The Scooby Doobies (led by Scooby-Doo), and The Really Rottens (led by Dread Baron or, if you prefer, Dick Dastardly).<br /><br />So, in my contribution to this blog I went with my favorite and Captain Caveman's team, The Scooby Doobies, and included two of his teammates--Hong Kong Phooey and Dynomutt.

He always freaked me out. Partially because as a man, he was clearly nude, even though he was cognizant enough to wear a cape; also because he was entirely covered in hair, which, as a nearly hairless person myself, makes me intensely uncomfortable and a little jealous. Still, when Mel Caylo says draw Captain Caveman, you do it or you get the shit hugged out of you.<div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFdNk2Hi4Jf3WU7piGNsc4Nu5IBnvdKu9kyQ19KN_2942a7inU8_Xg1ZyupDtWXSh_woBohdWVP_g9H11VS64mMZlRZBgNfTCM9OR39wDvTdBw9rnl3nKk_6hJ9ltNx0LqMDnDwDx3Hs4/s1600-h/capt+caveman+large.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 282px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFdNk2Hi4Jf3WU7piGNsc4Nu5IBnvdKu9kyQ19KN_2942a7inU8_Xg1ZyupDtWXSh_woBohdWVP_g9H11VS64mMZlRZBgNfTCM9OR39wDvTdBw9rnl3nKk_6hJ9ltNx0LqMDnDwDx3Hs4/s400/capt+caveman+large.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450782476937300530" /></a></div><div>I knew I wanted to bring out Captain Caveman's innate creepiness with a reasonably realistic face, and when I thought of beings who were mostly eyes and noses, I immediately turned to Ringo Starr. So I tried to model the face off of his photos on the cover of <i>With the Beatles</i> and <i>A Hard Day's Night</i>. The cigarette seemed somehow necessary after I finished the eyes and nose. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out in that it's really, really creepy. </div>Robhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08033565682747936721noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509693581037249498.post-84618933146424714132010-03-17T03:05:00.004-04:002010-03-17T03:15:25.416-04:00The Hair Club Featuring Captain Caveman by TJ DietschWhen Mel suggested we draw Captain Caveman this week, I figured I could take it easy and just do a quick version of a childhood favorite. Instead, I found it difficult to really capture CC's essence. I think it's the eye/nose combination that really makes him unique. Anyway, I decided to make things harder on myself by setting this drawing in a dance club and adding Cousin It and Hair Bear to the mix. Plus turntables. Anyway, here's the original, pres-Photoshop version. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht__ang0RbO6eWDasAbyI2KLYcvi4d7nrthkog9MNoXx5Zg_Hdz_M81f75CGlVfxNsjXD-YQbeMUMw4GEfnbvSpVFhAr2fG0RleaijLjnC1IHGNtVwrpIa1gr-slEB39QD5lp666T_sacj/s1600-h/hairclub049.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 312px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht__ang0RbO6eWDasAbyI2KLYcvi4d7nrthkog9MNoXx5Zg_Hdz_M81f75CGlVfxNsjXD-YQbeMUMw4GEfnbvSpVFhAr2fG0RleaijLjnC1IHGNtVwrpIa1gr-slEB39QD5lp666T_sacj/s400/hairclub049.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449497342834317970" /></a><br />After scanning it, I went through and basically bleached everything but the black lines by using the paintbucket tool to make just about everything white. I've found the more I do of this, the easier it is to go through and add color in big waves as opposed to really intricate work. I apparently didn't do enough though as this piece still took a lot of zooming in an altering. I then grabbed some images online of the characters and used the eyedropper to match the colors. After that it was just a matter of adding the other colors and patters. And voila, here's the finished product. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6ub1SbAH952BxJA95XPGXDOGl-Xt9rnT86lVgZlHiPNzk1IOr20aM5lsOuYNMdojswGtXVeZrhZImBZS-cVbq-R5WMPMCMrzZri5Zl-ogojmklvukMdruGYrcNbnOgZVJPKJYlvkI6Crw/s1600-h/hairclub-colorLAW.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 311px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6ub1SbAH952BxJA95XPGXDOGl-Xt9rnT86lVgZlHiPNzk1IOr20aM5lsOuYNMdojswGtXVeZrhZImBZS-cVbq-R5WMPMCMrzZri5Zl-ogojmklvukMdruGYrcNbnOgZVJPKJYlvkI6Crw/s400/hairclub-colorLAW.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449497327728134546" /></a>TJ Dietschhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08813938562486777608noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509693581037249498.post-81839960348484115382010-03-15T14:23:00.004-04:002010-04-01T20:27:51.129-04:00Centurion Batman by Rob<div>I picked this week's subject matter, exactly so I could draw Batman in a bat-themed Roman centurion outfit. My inspiration was of course DC's recently revealed <i>Return of Bruce Wayne</i> comic covers, my stupid-enormous passion for ancient Rome, and the fact that I'm pretty sure my fellow LAWyers would have hated me if I'd asked them to draw Dr. Druid (next time, though).<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOLijrHCgSePrMCBkskZk1VsQg63r1KJDzPGeZTetlw5EJkGd2JWVwoTHbUdVqzy4YS7i1oEz7S8h6R5JzqWkjaK6BCWLqfxqffFkN0uDQyBqofivF5vm4vMZmzbPBzejCzmyqofLix9M/s1600-h/batman+centurion+rob+small.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 315px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOLijrHCgSePrMCBkskZk1VsQg63r1KJDzPGeZTetlw5EJkGd2JWVwoTHbUdVqzy4YS7i1oEz7S8h6R5JzqWkjaK6BCWLqfxqffFkN0uDQyBqofivF5vm4vMZmzbPBzejCzmyqofLix9M/s400/batman+centurion+rob+small.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448929242601654290" /></a><div>I took the pose from a Jim Lee <i>Hush</i> pic, and then kind of immediately fucked it up.

Unfortunately, I'm not that good an artist, so Braveheart Batman and Black Knight Batman aren't really options. But after catching an advance screening of "The Runaways," I started thinking about the 1970s glam rock/punk rock movement, and after briefly debating if it made any logical sense for Batman to do anything in the '70s other than be Batman, I kinda sorta made him the frontman for the Stooges.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisHCJkrbJrCc81Zq9L8qYvK7lnCtfmw2Ko_Be4TLtgv6iWAxtD1PmpWnymHPbSkv7E4bULJZ90JA-ujiE88s9T6Pgr4w1_HP-V5lARfdjuqSof-Y8E50eWx3RiwDiqd-s7av05iyt3CO9a/s1600-h/BatPunk.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 319px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisHCJkrbJrCc81Zq9L8qYvK7lnCtfmw2Ko_Be4TLtgv6iWAxtD1PmpWnymHPbSkv7E4bULJZ90JA-ujiE88s9T6Pgr4w1_HP-V5lARfdjuqSof-Y8E50eWx3RiwDiqd-s7av05iyt3CO9a/s400/BatPunk.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448345191685669506" /></a><br /><br />I don't know what the other Stooges look like, but I gave Batman Iggy Pop's chiseled abs and skinny jeans. Of course, I instantly regretted not making Batman David Bowie, since then I would at least have an easy pun. ("A Bat Insane," "The Thin White Bruce," etc.) The name "Iggy Pop" doesn't lend itself to Batman-related puns, although I suppose you could call the band "Iggy and the Bruces." And of course he would perform such hits as "I Wanna Be Your Unofficially Sanctioned Vigilante," "Search and Place in Arkham Asylum" and "Lust for Street-Level Justice." Here's a colored version. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHMPXVfEHtFBz1OuCRBxwcQUPYqt8tlTF1JIzNMmJh5oL7NQekURvqrVV8NkJWJA1vKyW_Fj36IABhnrbeutiqRBdGt3Jt7VeEGwb5tVhUkUnMMRkj8CXhIIg2kjJOKihuo-_12UNbByyQ/s1600-h/BatPunkColor.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 319px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHMPXVfEHtFBz1OuCRBxwcQUPYqt8tlTF1JIzNMmJh5oL7NQekURvqrVV8NkJWJA1vKyW_Fj36IABhnrbeutiqRBdGt3Jt7VeEGwb5tVhUkUnMMRkj8CXhIIg2kjJOKihuo-_12UNbByyQ/s400/BatPunkColor.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448345424173520722" /></a><br /><br />Check out the amazing covers for <i>Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne</i> at DC's <a href="http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2010/03/05/batman-return-of-bruce-wayne-1-6-colored-and-connected/" target="_blank">The Source</a>.Zach Oathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06922850118964049731noreply@blogger.com2
