DARKWING sketch dump

Here's some sketches that I did ages ago. I LOVE DARKWING DUCK! I used to tape it off the TV when it originally aired on Disney Saturday Morning in the early 90's. I used to do a fantastic drawing exercise; I would pause the VCR on a key pose and draw it. The VCR only paused for 5 minutes, so wherever I was in the sketch when the pause stopped was where I left the sketch. Here are a bunch of em. It wasn't until this year that Disney finally released DARKWING DUCK season 1 on DVD. My brother bought it for me. I want to do my sketch exercise again with Darkwing Duck, see if I have improved over the past decade, and to draw in a more classic animation style, with more volume and structure than alot of the stuff I have worked on over the past several years.

I did these sketches on an awful show called Daft Planet. We had a great team, we laughed alot, but the show was utter garbage. At the time it was the worse show I had ever worked on. Since then that honor has been bestowed on another show, which will remain nameless for now.

More oldies I dug up in my efforts to clean out my place.

I just went through some old piles of papers, throwing most of my old stuff in the garbage, uh...I mean throwing it in the recycling bin, gotta be environmentally conscious these days, and I came across some crappy old doodles that I figured I may as well scan and post. These sketches are probably 5 years old.

sooooooo tired

I pulled another all nighter, probably the 20th one in the past 3 0r 4 months. Why do I kill myself like this? ....Oh yeah, cause' I love what I do. The scene set ups in the past few postings are a collaborative effort between ERROL BURKE and myself, including this one above. Now I must go to sleep......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

ROAD KILL

There is nothing funnier than....

...A MONKEY WITH A TASER!!

A picture's worth a thousand words.

Good thing too...'cause I wouldn't know where to begin describing this crazy scene.

my favorite lounge singer

RICHARD CHEESE!!!!
the sketch and the finished illustration

Mmmmmmm Purrrrrfect!

If he looks sexually ambiguous, that's because we are not supposed to know which way he swings.

PENGUIN 2

Another scrap piece of paper, another Penguin sketch. Again, nothing digital, good ol' sharpie marker and white pastel.

PENGUIN

I found a scrap piece of paper. Normally I would throw it out. But I liked the texture of it, it's not just a white piece of paper. It has a grain to it and a beige color. So I sketched the Penguin. He's got a lot of black so I used a sharpie marker, and then a white stick of pastel, NO PHOTOSHOP in this. It feels good to get away from the digital stuff for a change.

MY NEW BLOG! ........MUPPETS!!!!!!

I started a new blog to document my new hobby of MAKING MUPPETS!!!!!!! There's a new banner for it called ZEE PUPPETZ in my link list. This is very exciting!! MUPPETS!!!!!!!

Some random bits from the story board

It is coming to the end of the board, it should be finished today. I don't know when this episode will air. It was a good experience for both myself and Errol to get the chance to board the script we wrote together. It's not an opportunity that comes along very often. It is going to be a very fun episode.
