Art Unspeakable Horrors

[PiroMunkie]

[size=1]Hrmm... well, I got bored yesterday, last night, very early this morning so I spent all my time drawing. It has been a while since I last actually sat down and drew something so I decided to just draw [i]from[/i] something. I chose the back of [u]SQUEE'S Wonderful Big Giant Book of Unspeakable Horrors[/u]. Though, so it was a little bit of my work, I gave it a slight anime twist. I found that to be easier than I thought it might be, since all the really needs to be changed are the eyes and a little bit of facial structure. I tried to keep in as Jhonen as possible, so I was not going to exploit every stereotype of anime.

Aside from that aspect, compared the the actual picture it is horrible in terms of placement. I have never been that good when it comes to arranging things exactly, but it really is not that bad. They are more of less just a little more spread out.

It was done with pencil, but I opened it up in Photoshop and increased the contrast to make it look black. Everything that is black I shaded darkly in with the pencil. This cuts down a lot of extra work when it comes to coloring it, lol.

So this is just the black and white outline version. I have been coloring it all today in Photoshop. So far I have:

? [b]Squee:[/b] The little boy in the bottom center with the "Believe" shirt on. I changed the shirt to say that, what is below and covered up by his hands is an alien head.
? [b]Pepito:[/b] The dark child with the mohawk-looking hair style. He is the son of Satan (or as he prefers it, Señor Diablo).
? [b]Roadkill:[/b] The deformed dog in the front. It really does not have a name, that is just what I am calling it because that is how it got deformed.
? [b]Evil Dog:[/b] The little pup next to Pepito. It eats people if you do not give your lunch.

And I am about half-way through [b]Shmee[/b], the impish teddy bear in the air to the right of Squee. So I have a lot of work to do before it is completely finished, lol. I just thought I would show you guys what I am up to, I guess.

Enjoy.[/size]

You have a cool, Invader Zim-esque art style. Really, really good. I go for more of the Shounen Martial Arts kinda style. But your great and really out do me.

[u]Squee![/u] was written and drawn by the same person who created [i]Invader Zim[/i].

If I took the slight anime imfluence out of the picture, you would see the Jhonen (as in Jhonen Vasquez, the artist who drew it) style a lot more.[/size]

It's inked very well and I can't see anything wrong with it, unless I wanna nitpick. So awesome! Keep it up.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

As I said, it was done in pencil. There is no ink involved. I put it in Photoshop and increased the contrast to make it black so it [i]looks[/i] as though it was inked.


Fooled you. :p


I could point a million things wrong with it, but I am not going to, lol. They are not all that important.[/size]

[size=1]That is very bizarre.

Cool, and interesting, and well semi-inked and stuff..


But bizarre. Very bizarre.

...I like it.[/size]

[color=hotpink][size=1]I love pieces like this where there are multiple characters doing their multiple character thing. I can't wait to see the finished version.[/color][/size]

[size=1] The Jhonen Vasquez art-style is one I have [i]always[/i] admired. I adore his humor...even if it's morbid and sick. Heh...I love that Squee book. Especially the part where Jhonen shows us those letters from obsessed fans/haters.

But anyways. Nice picture, it's actually excellent considering the fact that I will die before I can even try to imitate his art. Satan and the lice monster turned out very nicely. Looks exactly like Jhonen's own work. [/size]

I would say of the non-Squee comics in that book, and exluding Happy Noodle boy, lol, I am probably most fond of the grenade baby from [b]True Tales of Human Drama![/b]. (the baby in the bunny suit above Pepito, for those who do not know)

I thought the dust mite did turn out pretty well though. There are a few small spacing errors, but oh well.[/size]

Very clean and detailed, and really faithful to the original...I like!
However, there are a few places where the lines goes past another, but you should've already fixed that while coloring. Are you gonna shade them too?
