Sketches

Combination Animal - Monkey Bear

Monday, August 22nd, 2011

I made a mistake. See, for the Super Haters Twitter account, I like to offer special incentives for my milestone followers (300th, 400th, etc.). And for my 500th follower, I offered a free personalized sketch of a combination animal (for examples, see Napoleon Dynamite or Avatar: The Last Airbender).

Author David Corbet was my original 500th follower. So I tweeted him and asked him what he wanted for his sketch. And I waited. And waited.

I never saw a reply from him even though he was tweeting other stuff. So I figured he was ignoring me. And I decided to select another 500th follower for the prize.

But I failed to cover all my bases! See, I never expected David to send me a DM. However that's exactly what he did and I found it days later after I'd already offered the sketch to two other people.

So I decided to do the honorable thing and draw all three of the requests. Hence David's Monkey Bear that you see here.

WEDNESDAY: The combination animal requested by my 2nd 500th follower!!!

Dragon with a Machine Gun Arm

Friday, August 19th, 2011

I can't believe I forgot to post this!

Nearly a month ago, I completed this piece for my 400th Twitter follower, Chris K of Zany Comics (@zanycomics). I offered to draw a personalized mythical creature for the 400th person to follow Super Haters on Twitter, and Chris chose a dragon. And when I asked him if he wanted to kick it up a notch, he suggested a machine gun arm and an eye patch. BRILLIANT!

If you dig this sketch, then git yerself back here next Monday when I'll be sharing the first of three Combination Animals that I drew for my three 500th followers on Twitter. (Yes, "three 500th followers." It's a long story.)

Nik Furious videos - Silver Centurion and Sunday Best

Tuesday, July 12th, 2011

NIK FURIOUS IS BACK! I've been laying low for the past few months, working hard on my comics and mostly ignoring my music.

But the drought is over! I've got two new music videos, one for an old beat and one for a new beat.

Let's get the old stuff out of the way first. Silver Centurion is smooth-house-meets-mellow-funk track off of the Superior Tech mixtape:

And Sunday Best is a brand new beat with an old school funk flavor:

For each of these beats, I created original digital paintings to accompany them. And I would be remiss if I didn't share those with you right now!!!

Here's the painting for Sunday Best, inspired by the sound of the song and light of the rising sun:

And here's the painting for Silver Centurion, inspired by both of its namesakes -- the song and the armor:

Thx for listening and hopefully I'll have more Furious for you soon.
