Sneaky Betty

This has been a very busy week. I have been out of town and flying from airport to airport. This portrait of Betty trying on Cliff's uniform is the product of waiting for layovers and cancelled flights.

Peach Baby! (Last Week's Challenge)

Playing catch up. This is for last week's Mario challenge. I HAD to draw Princess Peach in a pin-up, because that is what I do! Anyway here's Peach in all her glory!

Shawny's back in action with the Rocketeer! (WIP)

Hello! It's Shawny. I know, I have been missing on the blog for a couple of weeks thanks to my summer job and computer woes. But I'm back and I come with goodies!

For this weeks challenge I did a sketchbook illustration that will eventually go into Illustrator. I wanted to show the rough sketch before cleaning it up and turning it into vector. Since I'm trying to draw more dudes, drawing the Rocketeer was perfect. But of course I had to add a pretty lady!

Close up!

This weekend I'll probably finish it completely and share it with next week's challenge!

Also, just to play catch up, I'll  be posting some of the other challenges I missed, right after the most recent weekly challenge till I'm all caught up!

Rocketeer!

Before Iron Man flew, The Rocketeer did! 

I wonder if Cliff's family can sue Stark over copyrights? No? 

Ah well...extremly quick sketch...about 1hour. Pen, Ink, Prisma Markers. 

Hang in there, Cliff!

Everybody's got tough days guys

Ok Cliff's are probably tougher than most.

the last time I try to rescue that damn kitten

come see it on my super cool blog cool kids only okay!

Little Rocketeer

Cliff is a cutie...so I thought I'd draw him all teeny-tiny and huggably cute! Enjoy.

Weekly Challenge: The Rocketeer

LOOK! Up in the sky!  It’s a bird!  It’s a plane!  It’s that heroic jet pack wearing defeater of Nazis, the Rocketeer!

Player 2: It's-a me, Luigi!

Hi all, Mark here!
Is there a sweeter, more selfless character in video games other than Luigi?
Whether he's helping his older brother Mario or he's facing off against haunted mansions by himself, Luigi is a damn good sport.
Three cheers for the kindest, most underrated man-in-green you'll ever meet.

The Real World: Super Mario Brothers Edition. NSFW

the true story of two brothers, picked to live in a sewer pipe, working together to rescue a princess, to have their lives controlled by children all over the world,  Now we find out what happens when they turn the game off... and start getting real.

Mario and Lugi get 1Up...

I am gonna get my hand slapped for this one. Oh well. I don't do cheesecake, mildly NSFW art very often, but its is fun to do. 

3 hours Manga Studio 5, (new software, still learning) Cintiq. 

They're coming for you, Peach!

There is plenty of art out there of zombie Super Mario Bros, but I was surprised to find so little of the characters actually surviving. C'mon guys, you don't think the guy who could defeat Bowser could survive an outbreak of zombie koopa troopas? If that little brat, Carl Grimes, can make it through the zombie apocalypse, Mario can do it and  kick serious koopa shell in the process. *Mic drop*

Original art is drawn with Micron pens on brown toned paper, and colored in Photoshop. The text was made in Illustrator. Everything was assembled in InDesign.

XO - Clare

BONUS!
I was fiddling with layers and kind of liked the look of the original drawing with just the blood and grit layer.

Ok for real this time, XO – Clare

the Princess and the Plumber

Never done any Mario stuff before, but is there a less unsung couple than Luigi and Daisy? Yoshi and Birdo maybe, but I'm not touchin that crazy mess.
So here is their love legitimized in the style of a trashy romance novel cover.

*NOTE* Bowser Castle background is an image grab that I painted over and manipped, original credit to Priteeboy*

"OMG THIS JUST LIKE MY FANFIC" - Shigero Miyamoto

see more weird garbage at my blog!

Shadow Sirens

I'm going a bit obscure on this one...but I usually do.  I love the Paper Mario games (mostly because of the RPG feel) and I instantly liked the Shadow Sirens/Trio from Thousand-Year Door.  They're purple ghost witches...which are 3 of the coolest things you could possibly be in the history of cool things. Vivian is my fav but that's because he/she is so adorable!

Anyway, enjoy some "sisterly" interaction.

Weekly Challenge: Do the MARIO!

Swing your arms from side to side. Come on, it's time to go. Do the Mario!

This week’s challenge is to draw anything pertaining to everyone’s favorite princess saving Italian plumber!

Everything is Rosie

Who doesn't love Rosie from the Saturday morning cartoons of yore? The adorable and funny cyber maid of the future from The Jetsons is a classic robot darling.

Robots in Love

Hi all, Mark here!

This week I drew what I like to draw a lot of: cute romance.  A world where a guy-bot asks out a girl-bot by giving her a metal flower is a world I want to live in.  

Quick little shout out to the Mega Man classic games, which inspired the shapes in this pic.
Also, yes, girl-bot's pigtails are light bulbs (sometimes I out-cute myself).

"Our Love Will Never Rust!"

Background Texture from Lost and Taken

Robots in Disguise.... One shall stand, one shall fall...

"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings." 

No robot more badass then Optimus Prime. All time favorite. <3

2 Hour Skecthcover, Prismacolor markers, Copic & Micron Pens, White Gelly roll pen. 

More snazzy Prime Quotes found here!

"Autobots, transform...and roll out!!!" 

C++pid & Psyche

Here's a new thing! Done for an upcoming show (theme was technology: past present future) and my take on William-Adolphe Bouguereau's painting of the Abduction of Psyche:

in a perfect world, amirite?

also check it out on my blog of other cool things I do :D

and bonus drunk hobo robot cause i said so:

go home robot your drun--OH WAIT

Robot Monster

OK, maybe he’s more monster than Robot, but in my defense Robot is the first word in the title of this 1953 classic monster movie. Ro-Man’s ridiculous design is basically a space helmet slapped on a gorilla suit, but somehow it just works and was a lot of fun to draw.

Weekly Challenge: ROBOTS!

They smash up Tokyo, save the universe and even speak with adorable British accents. This week we’re paying homage to our beep boop bopping buddy, the robot!

If there's a steady paycheck...

"Do you believe in UFOs, astral projections, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, telekinetic movement, full trance mediums, the Loch Ness monster and the theory of Atlantis?"

"Ah, if there's a steady paycheck in it, I'll believe anything you say."

Who doesn't love Winston Zeddemore? When we first decided to do a Rule 63 (gender-bender) theme for the week, I had some trouble coming up with a subject. There are just so many great characters to choose from. Tim mentioned that I do something Ghostbusters themed, and so Winnie Zeddemore was born. I wanted her to be a bold and sexy Ghostbuster with a 70's Pam Grier kind of vibe.

Rule 63: Leona of "The Big Bang Theory"

Hi all, Mark here.
I love the show "The Big Bang Theory" so for our gender-swap challenge I decided to draw the character Leonard as a woman.
The end result is surprisingly cute I think, and I had a ton of fun drawing this.  I call her "Leona".

(texture used in background from Lost and Taken)

Rule 63: Mistress of Magnetism By Pope

My character of choice for this weeks "Rule 63" challenge is my favorite X-Man Villian Magneto!!! Or maybe we should call her Magnette?!?!

Get it...Magnette, Magnet...

Hardy, Har, Har. 

11x14 sketch,  pen, ink paper, gray markers, some photoshop post edits. 

2.5 hours. 

Rule 63: just a stupid sexy Ice Queen

your old pal Ribbs is back with a Rule 63 so good, it became canon.

Adventure Time's Ice Queen!
Who knew she was hiding such a svelte figure under those robes?

 

 

 

 

 

I call the penguin Hilda

The Bravest Little Hobbit of Them All

I’m a little obsessed with The Hobbit movies, so I’m not surprised that I gravitated towards drawing a female Bilbo for the Rule 63 challenge. He’s a favorite character of mine but also female hobbits embody everything I love about drawing women…lots of soft curvy lines and expressive faces.

I feel that Bilbo is full of sass and a deep love for the simple things in life, so I hope these drawings do their job in representing these two sides of the female Bilbo I envision.

 

Weekly Challenge: RULE 63

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction…and according to the interweb “for every fictional character, there exists an opposite-gender counterpart”.  Don't you love when physics and the internet hug!

Hi! I'm Ashley. Ms. Ribblett if yer nasty.

the damn artist herself

So! Let's keep this short and sweet and so we can get to the weird pictures I draw.

I'm Ashley, a 29yr old illustrator living in Lakewood. I sling coffee by day and do my dirty drawings at night.
I've done lots of different kinds of illustrations over the years (most recently illustrating my first ever comic for Graham Cracker Comics in Chicago!)  but as of late I've found a comfortable niche drawing pinups.

If I'm drawing traditionally my weapons of choice are pencil, ink, marker or watercolor. I don't do much vector work so most of my digital illustration is done by way of tablet in my favorite program Paint Tool Sai and edited in Photoshop.

I also co-run the Cleveland Chapter of Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School, an alternative style (think cabaret) life drawing group that meets once a month. If you're in the Cleveland area and are in the need to draw some curvy swervy dames, look us up!
