Green Thursdays - Wig Lantern

This Green Thursdays is inspired by two different things.

First up is Give Me Back My Wig by Hound Dog Taylor and the HouseRockers. It's a boogie blues song by the masters of funky, sloppy electric blues. Great stuff.

Second up is an experience from my teenage years. Back in the 90s, wig companies used to offer free "wig previews" -- you send them a photo of your face, and they'd use whatever old school image editing program they used back then to make a digital print out of you "trying on" four of the wigs. My friend Josiah sent away for one of those freebies, and I'll tell you what...

He looked damn good in those wigs. My favorite was the curly blonde.

Monster Guy - Colors

Sunday, May 1st, 2011

Last time, I described the decision making process that led me to using color holds on the Monster Guy line art. This time, I'm sharing my interior colors!

Not a ton to explain here -- I'd already done most of my color selections during the knockouts stage, and I knew I wanted to go with slightly lighter or more muted tones to fill in the guts.

Well, for the most part, that is. A few areas received more vibrant tones for the interiors (the drool, the undersides of the tentacles, the eyes).

And, overall, I liked the result. But I didn't love it... which leads me to the next and final installment of the Monster Guy process, coming soon!!! See you then.

Green Thursdays - Poop Lantern

Green Thursdays gets messy!! I mean, seriously, wouldn't you do the same?

You're in some remote corner of space... there's no baddie to battle and you've really gotta drop one. It's tough pooping in space without the comforts of home (Earth, that is). So you make yourself a little green energy toilet and relax your bowels.

AHHHHHHHHHH. Yes.

Now that's the Green Lantern way. For toilet reviews on this technique, please be patient as I am not quite done yet.
