STAR WARS FRIDAY SUBMISSION

POW! PUT MOTION IN YOUR CARTOONS!

 

What puts motion into the picture of a guy getting punched in the face?  The ABSENCE OF STRAIGHT LINES -- sure, a bullet or an arrow shoot straight, but here it's the ARC of the punch and the BOWING of the recipient that bring the picture to life!

 

The book ANIMATION by Preston Blair shows great examples of the above.  And you can find a PDF copy online!  That book over every other really helped me learn to draw...

JABBA THE HUT BUYS IT -- THE ALTERNATIVE VERSION

One of the RETURN OF THE JEDI cartoons I did, part of the extensive STAR WARS strips Craig McNamara and I drew at the Minnesota Daily when we supposed to be working.  I know ROBOT CHICKEN did a lot of the same kinda gags, as did FAMILY GUY, but if it's any consolation, Craig and I were decades ahead of them...

WEREWOLF? THERE WOLF... GETTING HIS ASS KICKED

 

A personal favorite trio of panels from Twelve O'clock Somewhere -- inspired in part by Gene Colan's artwork in the old Marvel Dracula comics.  Accompanying (and apropos) poetry by Robert Service.



MAD MAX FURY ROAD

 

Saw MAD MAX FURY ROAD a third time in the theater.  Man, what a great film.  See it on the big screen if you still have a chance!  (The above drawing is not in any way, shape, or form connected to MMFR...)

FRANKENSEIN MEETS THE BABY SEAL

 

 

No, it's not some unknown Universal monster movie discovered stashed away in some attic steamer trunk... I was doodling at OUTCAST, and the above pictures were oddly juxtaposed.  Colored via Corel PAINTER.
