Okay first post and I've made an odd habit of intro-ing with massive fanart bombing runs. All ideas stolen from other sources!

Dude, are you kidding me? I love Gunnerkrigg Court!

Nice style.

You've definitely got some ace cartooning going on there, man. I love the Avatar/Gorillaz pic.

Have any original characters for us? I'd love to see your designs.

Beautiful stuff, man. I love the style...even more so because it's obvious that this very stylized art is backed up by a very solid understanding of the fundamentals (you'd be amazed how many aspiring artists go for the style first, with little understanding of anything else).

I just visited your site while in the middle of typing this. The colored stuff is very nice too. That site quickly made it's way into my bookmark folder.


I don't know how much useful critique you're going to get...there's not a lot of room for improvement in the stuff you posted...you seem to have that particular style pretty much mastered.

the real question is, can you animate?

His site has a whole page of animations (combination of 3D stuff, animated gifs...and something called "anamatics" which I'm not quite sure how to describe).

I see: Kim Possible (forgot who the original character designer was for this show, but..), Jamie Hewlett, and perhaps bits of Jhonen Vasquez and Genndy Tartakovsky. You do a fairly decent job of aping the styles, but it feels, I dunno...forced?

Moonman

KP?! I got yer KP right here pal!



I can't remember his full name, but I believe the character designer for that show is named Silver. I know Gabe's art is influenced big time by him, but I never made any concious effort to ape him...or really anyone. I don't go by artist, I go by the art y'know? If I like the picture, "...maybe I'll try that..." kind thing. Mostly though I think I just see something I've done and go, "That one part is nice, I gotta keep doing that..."

I mean it's obvious for some that it's ripping off from a specific place (such at the Avatar thing) but that's basically just me being a smartass. That's how I started drawing in the first place, making fanart that was amalgamations of two different sources/styles just cause I'd thought it'd be clever to mash 'em up. Did a whole slew of Final Fantasy characters as Simpsons and South Park characters. That kinda thing. Might be where the 'forced' thing comes from. But things like Sango (chick wit da boom'rang) weren't drawn from anything other than my head. So...I dunno...

Nice works, is that Avatar pic a meld of the Gorillaz and Avatar? hahaha, awesome.

TheBog

Yeah. This is great stuff. I would also like to see some original designs.

animatics are to animators like story boards are to film directors. theyr'e often just your initial sketches scanned in to give you a feel for how everything is going to move and where everything needs to be placed in the final product.

really nice stuff moonman.

Asamof the Horrible

Cool style, like the okage reference. Keep up the good work

Stephen Silver was the man you guys were looking for. http://stephensilver.blogspot.com/

I really like your work. Nothing really to say, but I would like to see color? Going to check out your site and maybe Ill find that.

Moonman

I don't really plan on posting anything (least ways not in this thread) that can be found on my site. It has most all of my original and colored work, so posting it here would just be redundant.

Floydzor

You're style reminds of the one the animators used on Guitar Hero.
