Random doodles

Came across these rummaging through some drawers, thought I'd share.

First, a Maitre d'mon:



A pterodactyl who seems to be up to something:



This was a robot sidekick for a space hero character who would provide appropriate musical accompaniment for his master's adventures:



Finally, this was my concept for a contest to design the mascot for the Safety Department at Universal -- a safety cone named Trip. Ended up losing to some guy in a superhero costume named Safety Man. Oh well:

I like the pterodactyl a lot.

The first drawing looks like something out of Gremlins 2, and the last is Patrick from Spongebob.

These are all from around 1997 or so, so I had Spongebob beat!

The carnivorous Fuckworm is very protective of his little boy.



Dunno about this one.

This one is a doodle from the mid '90s, LONG before it was en vogue to do crazy mismatched hero comics.

The Lady and I were in a restaurant with the paper table-covers a few days back, and while trying to explain the kind of characters Nick used to attach to his blogs, I scribbled out this...

It was part of my explanation of the gum statue in my closet.

Real Answer: We were talking about blogs. And Lasagna. It was a Macaroni Grill.

I think this one was from when I was in love with Werewolf Girl.


This one is self-explanatory.

It's amazing how much a rudimentary grasp of shading can do.

That is true. And judinging from the shading lines, you must've gone to the Bill Sienkiewicz school of drawing.

They're all good, Doc. The 2000 AD guy is fantastic, and 'Isle of Fright' looks promising too. Well done.

Is that a Megatron Penguin on the top right?

hahaha ... yeah. One of my daughters suggested I try a Transformer's variation on the penguins. So I put a very generic "Transformer Helmet" and lines on top of it. Funny, there's a bunch of transformers with that same helmet repeated over and over (Megatron included).

I wish I could paint...

When I'm really bored at the store, doodling helps pass the time. I draw on the cardboard from cigarette cartons.

Hey, they are great!

But aren't you asian? Shouldn't all your drawings have huge eyes and all the girls be semi naked?

Thanks! It's so rough, but I'm always surprised by how well it turned out and how much I like it. Kind of a happy accident.

So, nekkerbee, if you ever find yourself in hell and wonder "What did I do to end up here?". It's the spider with the heads. That's what you did.

Just scanned in some recent cigarette carton paper doodles.

Bums, mixed in with some Broken Arrow, Ghostbusters, Peter Stomare, and a portrait of a friend.

Was watching Gervais' Extras. A couple CHUD related doodles too.

Just while looking at photos of people online.

Was looking at some Frazetta pieces online. Also watching Under the Hood and a storyboarding video by Eric Goldberg.

While watching a bit of The Spirit and episodes of Battlestar Galactica.

Looking at photos of The Godfather movies, Iron Man concept art, and more Spirit.

Various stuff from 30 Rock and The Office (both versions).

Various bits from Paper Moon and There Will Be Blood.

Freaks & Geeks.

Let the Right One In.

EDIT: Some more...

Chewervision.

Tried to draw Hornberger with a toupee. Can never get it right. Also some Conan O'Brien, Beat Takeshi, and pigeons.

Killer Bees!



This one was fun to draw, although it prompted my wife to ask "Are you angry honey?"
