Turtle Beach

There was a lot of work involved with this one.  I even made a template so the turtle's shells would be embossed.  But the whole thing is just too...I don't know...sterile?  It looks like the turtles were spit out of a machine or something.  Anywho, this is a paper sculpture, although the shells and shark tooth fossil are real.

Alfred!

This is the last of my Batman cutouts, the big man himself.  Looks like he needs Alfred's help again!  I hope Al is getting properly compensated.

The Penguin cutout

Here's the second of my Batman characters, The Penguin.  It was inked and airbrushed on illustration board, then cut out and added to a watercolor background.

Catwoman cutout

I did a trio of Batman characters, all airbrushed and cut out of illustration board.  Here is Catwoman.  I drilled small holes in the illustration board and stitched the costume with thread.

Concrete

Concrete was a comic book character that I used to follow several years ago.  It was a very well-written series by Paul Chadwick and published by Dark Horse Comics.

This version of Concrete was brush and india ink on illustration board.  It was cut out and photo added for the background.  January 1993.

My second shot at the character is paper sculpture with an airbrushed background.  I think the butterfly adds to the feel of the piece.  January 1996.

Hangman

Have you ever played hangman on paper?  Tater and I were playing last night and it was his turn to come up with a phrase for me to guess.  He got stuck while marking down the dashes for the letters.  So Tater says, "How many letters are in the word 'lime'?"  I just go with it, "Four".  Tater finishes his puzzle.  Now it's my turn to start guessing the letters.
"L".
"I".
"M".
"Hey", Tater says, "That's cheating!"

Scarface again

I posted my caricature of Scarface in January, but I wanted to resize the hands and gun.  So here he is again with some slight changes.
