Clue: Breakfast Edition

You can see it in her face. Mrs. Butterworth is *guilty*. GUILTY! She always seemed a bit too sweet.

If this isn’t simultaneously the funniest and stupidest idea I’ve ever had, I’d be happy to entertain alternate nominations for those superlatives. Anyway, Colonel Mustard looks like a bitter pill.

If Mr. Plum turns up dead tomorrow, it will be because he was in the icebox looking delicious, so sweet and so cold.

The Sound of Printing part iii

Imagine what I could get up to if i knew how to run animation software.

And now we present the stunning finale of “The Hills Are Alive with the Sound of Printing,” in which I have drawn, at my client’s request, 3 retro TVs displaying video clips I found on YouTube. Also, the Loony Toons finale design.With the client standing in for Porky Pig. It’s hard to believe how narrow television was in the past. Shows were tiny. I cut 1/3 off of each image.

If you want to see these commercials and hear the different versions of the jingle, they’re all in this YouTube playlist. Now all I have to do this week is create a holiday bulletin board, finish the Brother Wolf logo redesign, storyboard my Linda Addison collaboration, and get the cover for The Hermit together. And, of course, go vote. Just those things.

My holiday bulletin board will be on the theme of unity.

Pleased to Meet You, Hope You Guess My Name

No, it's not Lucifer

No, it’s not Lucifer

Here’s the girl I was hinting at in my Thinking about Seahorses post: Princess Sealestia, Ruler of Aquastria. She didn’t make much of an impact in pencil, but maybe she’ll steal your heart in living color. This design is totally available for purchase in my store on a variety of fine products.

I wouldn’t call myself a brony or even a pegasister, but I do love My Little Pony. It’s earnest and honest, funny on multiple levels while espousing values that everyone regardless of age or gender should embrace. Not entirely sure where this idea came from; it just hit me one night, and when I told my stepkids, they thought it was hilarious, which was enough of a green light for me.

To create her, I had to learn how to select sections and use the gradient tool. It’s nice to be encounter challenges and then learn by doing. I also use layers and variation in transparency to create the bubbles. Her cutie mark came out of a few experiments. I tried a starfish, a big wave, various combination of little waves, and a gemstone before I decided to play with the sun featured on the rump of her pony progenitor. I just tweaked the colors and turned the rays a bit more tentacle-y to suggest an ocean-going effect.
