For the Portfolio

You wouldn't believe how hard it is to come up with an original pig cartoon. I'm not even sure how well I did here. Just google cartoon pigs and see how many different awesome cartoons there are. It must be close to the most drawn animal ever. I gave it a week and smashed out a whole heap of derivative ideas and came up with a look that is both piggy, cartoony and cool. So much you can do with a pig.

This guy reminds me of Bruce Willis in Die Hard or something. Maybe Miss Piggies upset ex lover fallen on hard times. Hillbilly piggy I think fits him nicely, but is there something deeper yet.

Manic Piggy. His mouth is actually bigger than his face. Ermahgurd. So cheesy and refreshing. If not the creepiest piggy in the world.

These last two are holding banners, to fit various title and things, they are designed for catalogues or websites. They work well as stylish borders dwellers. They are very cheeky with a party crown a yellow hat and frilly knickers, what's not to love.

A hero under pressure, whether he's a salespig or a statespig, you can't trust him. His pained smirk and silly body language make him feel a bit tense and frightening.

A sexy pig to heat things up. Absolute beauty right here. She has a knowing look and a strong pose. She doesn't take no for an answer and is no pigs sow. A very strong cartoon.

End of the week round up

 

Ok so this is the newest demon to fly off my desk, and I think it could be possibly the most ingenious cartoon in the universe. You were always thinking about it anyway although you probably never would have considered it to this extent. Make lemonade while the sun shines my friends!

 

Demons in angels clothing, or whatever the saying is. Best describes the vast majority of people I've met. Not that we're all that bad, twisted mostly. I note with sadness that I left the wings off the angel, but I think he's in a physical form right now so they aren't visible to the naked eye.

Big enough, bad enough and loud enough you can pretty much do what you like. Perhaps killing millions would suffice. No, oh well. You cannot live the life of a martyr to the false gods. If we some how blend the church with big tobacco nothing could stop them.

Another Batch for the book

 

This one is Medea and her kids while some French looking guy looks on in concern. Medea is obviously deranged by this point and the French guy and the sunny day and the appliances serve only to amuse me.

 

The bard. I particularly love how enthusiastic school teachers can become over the most difficult to follow bullshit. It's English but it's not. The most fun anyone has is dressing up like a girl!

 

This guys guts are out and the other one just shat. Basic.

 

The Greens movement, in all its glory on a truly epic scale. I love how cute it turned out. Bulldozers go broom!

 

This one feels weird and it amuses me to imagine smoking being direct marketed to a cigarette couple. They are indignant at being so rudely propositioned as they go about their daily business.

Pen and paper scanned and coloured.

I drew this physically on paper and scanned the image before coulouring. What I am trying is to make my process faster. I suck at using tablets to draw, especially hate trying to look at the screen while pretending to draw on plastic.

 

 

Mouldy in colour for the first time, if badly. Again I scanned the image before colouring. In future I think thicker lines and a bolder attitude will help the finishing process move along faster.

 

I don't know about anybody else but I find that hand drawing is the most readily available and easiest way for a cartoonist to express themselves. Hand colouring in pencil sucks and is a stupid idea, but does lend a certain sense of charm and artistry to an otherwise tacky cartoon image. However it is the bold colours and strong lines of many cartoon styles that is particularly appealing.

New cartoons for looking at

 

 

This is a slow process, but here are 2 new ones for now, perhaps more to follow, visit helltown cartoons at deviant art for more.

The Awakening

Finally discovered how to work this thing properly. At this stage I will try and put my art and stuff up here as regularly as I can.
Will this be better than previous efforts at being online and living the dream, or wot?

I guess we'll find out as time goes by.

I did it once, but now I haf to try and find where the putpictures up buttons are ergg!!

Early With The Latest

I hate managing all the difrent things so I go through deviant art and face book now.

Maybe on e day I will get into the blog a bit more but thinking of things to write is hard, on top of drawing and colouring etc.

Anywho fucking whatever.
