Description
I've felt like this a bit lately….Based on a magazine illustration I did recently… changed it a bit and then painted in a bunch of stuff from my desk. Ignore the wildy inaccurate perspective work… it looked quirky and charming in my original sketch but now its starting to bother me...
Things to know.
• this is about the 7th or 8th time I've painted the plastic skull on my desk… and yes, I have a plastic skull on my desk.
• no, that isn't really me…. I have a goatee and don't dribble as much when I drink.
• painting multiple drinking cans is less fun than you might think.
• dinosaurs on the other hand are awesome!
Pencil sketch, painted in photoshop.

Looks like a colorized Zbrush sketch...not your best work...they can't all be home runs.

Ok well the Dino is pretty good, but then it's in the back, in shadow and small....everything looks better when its small.
Maybe if it had been a self portrait, it might have been more plausible. The sheen on the shirt is screaming "I love Rayon!"...I hate Rayon.
...but all this is moot, its your piece and i really don't wish to critique an artist that is so successful every other time.

Awesome Dave! Kinda looks like me, actually. I share the attitude at least. How do you have time to complain about work and do THIS?

actually the skewed perspective makes it work
after all, it's a one-eyed-focus kinda scene anyway
i's backs after much absence, and the first thing I
had to do was see what adventures I missed from
your wacky world
awesome as always, friend!

Not sure why, but it made me think of a short conversation from the movie, "Pitch Black"
"..I thought you said it was clear."
"I said, 'it Looked clear.'"
"Oh.. well, how's it look now?"
"Looks clear."
Nice piece.

One of my faves, as well.
Now, I just need to find a psychiatrist who can tell me how I made the segue from your artwork to the movie.

Good luck with that; I recommend switching to coffee but it's not as good late afternoon, or on sunny days.

Bob, the skull? My first thought was "juggling dripping wet kittens"; which really is a lot like juggling deadlines with human toddlers underfoot, and into everything.

Ah, Red Bull - nectar of the gods and artists everywhere

Redbull gives you wings.
4 Redbulls form a committee and vote to pull your wings off.

Haha! i quite like the perspective, its like its all about to crash down on him
No matter how fast computers get, they are never fast enough, i can remember when a simpe word document would take 10 minutes to refresh when scrolling down a screen.. then the Pc would crash half the time
Dinosaurs and skulls!

I used to have a sketch pad next to me to draw during those computer 'thinking times'... still do, but a whole lot less time to draw while it saves these days.
And yes, dinosaurs and skulls.... awesome combo!
Cheers!

does balancing a red bull can on your head help you think?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, but if the plastic skull on my desk can balance one, then dammit, so can I.... who wants to be out 'clevered' by a plastic skull?
