Battlebeasts_Blitzkrieg Bat_doodle01_mar22

Hi guys, here is a little doodle of the transformers adjacent series Battle Beasts, here Blitzkrieg Bat here a mechanical bat guy with wings n a hook n long handle axe. He had a fun sorta design and colour scripting based off of his toy. Battle Beasts featured a fire/water/wood battle system, they had the heat sensitive insignias, similar to transformers in the old days where you got to see what allegiances they were as they were hidden under these black stickers. This guys was on his wing so i put it in as best I could. This was fun, enjoy

AnarchyReigns_Matilda Doodle_01_Feb2022

Hi guys, here is a little fan doodle based on the platinum games arena brawler on the ps3 Anarchy Reigns. Matilda here and all the characters are basically stylish looking cyborgs that compete in death matches, its sort of a spiritual follow up to "Mad world" on the Wii only not with the black n white visuals. most people never played or heard of this one, its pretty underrated, it came out around the time Platinum's big game at the time was Metal Gear Rising Revengence and Bayonetta, infact Bayo is playable as a dlc character, so its pretty much only known for the fact its the little known other game with Bayo in it out side of her numbered sequel. So yeah it had an unfortunate case of no promotion and being sandwiched between their higher profile games. But yeah I really love the design philosophy of the character designs, notice how Matilda has flower patterns around her bionic legs, its that thing off just cos she is a cyborg, no reason you cant beautify yourself, so I thought that was a really cool approach. I drew here twice here mostly because her weapon is her "sarong" around her waist she can flail around and it becomes rigid and she can slug characters with it like a club or a baseball bat. Anyway I still adore this game and pray one day it comes back to consoles or PC where it can get the appreciation it deserves. the balance wasn't the best, there was a ton of mashing you had to do to get out of grabs or punch fests which killed your fingers, it could do with some balance tweeks, But over all it is a solid core of a game more people should give it a go if they get the opportunity! Enjoy!

TFTargetmaster_Crosshairs+Pinpointer_Doodle02Feb22

Hi Guys, here is another doodle of the G1 Targetmaster Duo Crosshairs and Pinpointer, here charging into battle, Crosshairs in his futuristic dune buggy mode I guess, and Pointpointer transforming midair to mount on his hood. I was in the mood to do a little mid air transformation as he has a slightly more unusual 3 step transformation as apposed to most of them just bending over and now its a gun/head, so yeah this was fun! Enjoy!

TFTargetmaster_Crosshairs+Pinpointer_Doodle01Jan22

Hi Guys, here is a little doodle of the Transformers G1 Targetmaster Autobot Crosshairs and his partner Pinpointer in his twin barrel gun form. I drew him here in abit of a quick draw stance. This guy made a strong impression on me in the final 3 parter of TF G1 "the Rebirth" in the couple of scenes he had, he was characterized with a sorta gritted teeth Dirty Harry sort of voice in the cartoon, like a seasoned gun-slinger which made him stand out as very cool. He was drawn with a faceplate which while maybe inconsistent with his toy again contributed to his cool factor, so yeah her is ready for action! I think he many others appeared in the Japanese exclusive follow up series the Headmasters and yeah pretty much everything was different in that show, but yeah this a cool little window into what could have been. Enjoy!

Terminator_workshop_doodle (muscle study)_01jan22

Hi Guys, here is a quick what started as a muscle study I did over christmas, and the inspiration struck to just turn it into a scene with terminator's getting their flesh disguises applied, maybe even repaired after a battle. Like I say this was spur of the moment it started as a little muscle study and I was inspired by Terminator 2 Judgement Days Teaser trailer, the one set in a terminator factory and he gets his skin applied, Fantastic Teaser, masterclass in not giving anything away but still being awesome in its own right: www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4ThFN… I was kinda inspired by roman statues and sorta combined them with a terminator endoskeleton, again I didn't think it through as in the trailer its implied terminators get their skin by being baked in it like an oven, so here its sorta being applied by lazer, maybe abit like how leeloo is created in The Fith Element. Ah well either way hope it inspires other artists in their work. Enjoy! ^_^

TF_Targetmaster_Missfire+Aimless_Doodle02_Dec21

Hi guys, here is another doodle of Transformers gen1 Missfire and his targetmaster partner Aimless. Here Missfire in his Cybertronian jet mode I guess aimless getting ready to board, maybe shoot down some Airialbots. Missfire is kind of hovering off the ground. I did some top down and side pre lim. sketches before starting, I based them on the toy, just to make sure I understood how the transformation worked, obviously headmasters and targetmasters aren't the most complicated to transform but none the less i like to do justice. I even gave Missfire a detailed cockpit as I love that sort of thing. Anyway Enjoy, hope u like it guys!

TF_Targetmaster_Missfire+Aimless_Doodle_01_Dec21

Here is a little doodle of Transformers G1 Missfire and his Targetmaster partner Aimless, trying to participate in the battle but aimless lives up to his name and is a liability to everyone including himself, I thought Id have abit of fun with this and thought the results came out pretty comedic, hope you enjoy! _Also, I don't think his "shoulder pincers" are there on his toy but I thought they suited him in the G1 cartoon Rebirth 3 parter, makes him look abit like a seeker I guess so I went with that, thought it looked cool.

How to Fightinggames Pg04 Nov2021

Afew years ago, I was putting together little move breakdowns for fighting game characters, just to give a basic idea of what their play style is like, what their intention is, I based on one of my favorite fighting games of all time Capcom vs SNK 2 (CVS2) which was made up of a mix of representatives from Capcoms fighters and SNK. Here I did a breakdown featuring Joe Higashi, a kickboxer that can throw firey tornadoes, as well as excellent stage travel built into his powerful kicks. so yeah here is a little map of his moves and some basic uses. Enjoy, I may do afew more of these as they are fun to research

AOT_attack vs Armored Titan doodle 01_oct21

Here's a little doodle of a battle in progress from the anime Attack on Titan, Eren in his Attack Titan form vs the Armored Titan. Armored in a boxing stance shuffling towards Eren and Eren being shunted onto buildings. Normally the massive amount of collateral damage these giants can do to their surroundings is pretty immense, thought i would try to get some of that in there. Since these Titans are piloted by people, almost like organic mechs they can use their martial arts prowess in battle. This was fun, hope more people check out this show, its one of the best in recent years! Enjoy!

Martian SuccessorNadesico_Aestivalis_doodle_01_oct21

Here is a little doodle for an ol' mostly forgotten gem of a mech show I watched back in the 90's, the main Mech from the anime Martian Successor Nadesico called an "Aestivalis". This was a show I can remember watching soon after seeing Neon Genesis Evangelion when it first came over to the west and I was really taken in by that shows premise and wanted to immediately follow up with another that seemed like it, this show crossed my path thanks to manga entertainments efforts to localize as much as they could on vhs. I thought it would be something similar and its not really at all, I was expecting a straight ahead mech-fighting show and it really isn't, its more of a comedy/drama/action mix that parodies certain tropes of the genre, a genre I was completely unfamiliar with at the time. It feels like it features alot of cliches and tropes of the mech genre as well as harem anime as the pilot to the mech (who is also the ships cook) is surrounded by potential female suitors, which kind of flew over my head at the time. The main characters are also otaku's in their own right, they even watch a parody show within the show that looks similar to things like mazinkaiser called gekigengar 3, and it feels like it parodies early Gundam when they go into space on the titular Nadesico, and maybe abit of Fortress Dimension Macross / Robotech. There's even afew plot twists as they go up against these mechanical bug aliens called the Jovians. The opening episode had probably the most impressive animation of the lot and then the show settled into its comedy mixed with drama groove for the remainder which felt like a very odd choice to me at the time and kind of disappointing if im honest (I later became aware of budgetary constraints and the practice of front loading your animation budget at the beginning to hook new potential viewers was a common practice at the time). I was expecting a fight every other episode and it turns out its not that kind of show at all. I did complete it once and I barely remember much of it, I did remember one of the twists was something like the alien menace was conjured into existence by the main characters just cos they wanna fight in big robots against aliens cos that's what they saw happening in the shows of their youth and so here they are, cant remember exactly but it was something like that. I did find it very unusual still in the west to see the main robot mech of the show sporting Hot pink as its primary colour, even for a parody show its played completely straight and no one makes a big deal of it! I can imagine its a case of the toys were designed first and that dictated the design used in the show (?!!?) cant say for sure if that's the case but that's definitely the case for alot of toy driven show. So yeah that added to the "other-worldliness" of it all. The show was the standard 26 episodes and finishes up with a movie and that was it for the MSN universe as far as i am aware, it came out in the wave that started with Evangelion and things like Rahzephon and Gundam Wing and things like that and there it has remained, part of an emergent scene left behind. So yeah this was fun to do, and to draw the Aestivalis' extendo-arm punch which the main characters were like "Hey, its just like that cartoon I remember with the Rocket Fists that come out and come back! Cool!" I can appreciate it more now, when at the time I would have been content with a straight ahead dramatic action show in the vein of Gundam and the like but it tries to aim in abit of an unusual direction. but anyway hope you like! ^_^

Battlebeasts_fierce_Tiger doodle01_sept21

Hi Guys, here is a little doodle from an old property that at one point was connected to Transformers. these animal warriors known as battle beasts were little mini collectables figures, they each have a hidden element, Fire, Water and Wood, and you can find out which by rubbing their chest plate, alot like the hidden transformers insignials from G1 and that's how you'd know who beats who. Fierce Tiger here was a character I owned, I thought I would give him a little love here. I believe these guys appear briefly in Transformers the Headmasters, which was a G1 follow up in Japan, and Like I say they were adjacent to the transformers franchise, but they decided to drop the connection when these guys had a shot in the west. I don't believe they did all that well, I rather liked the little sculpts, I guess a similar comparision maybe the gatchapon craze with little collectables like M.U.S.C.L.E. or Kinnikumen as its called,

 anyway this was a fun one, enjoy!

Xmen_Albert (Wolverine robot) Doodles_01_Sep2021

Here is a little fan art doodle of the X-men comic character Albert, a Terminator style android doppelganger of Wolverine, sent to kill him. I thought he had a pretty cool patched together kind of look, I was mostly going off of the toy that existed of him in the 90's as the art style from the comic was pretty loose at the time, excess was the way to go. I recall he hung around with another android made to look like a little girl that served as bait in the plot to terminate wolverine, I believe he was developed as part of the Reavers, the android group Lady Deathstrike belonged to, anyway he's pretty obscure now, thought I would she'd some light on an underrated character, Enjoy!

Bucky o'Hare Dead Eyed Duck Doodle 01_Aug2021

Here is a little doodle of Dead Eyed Duck from the 80's short lived cartoon based on a toy line Bucky O'Hare. this was a fun one I used to watch back in the day, it kinda started as a response to TMNT's success and spawned a line of action figures, it had a neat little cartoon to go with it, focusing on the titchular Captain Bucky O'Hare and his Crew as they try to thwart the toad empire. It's a fun space themed anthro show, they had a human sidekick from earth who would come up with techno solutions ,and Dead Eye'd Duck here was my favorite, who was abit of a baddass, I guess what they were going for abit of a Han Solo type crossed with maybe Clint Eastwood/ Wolverine, the gunner of the ship "righteous indignation", shoot first n ask questions later kinda duck who had a life as a pirate from what I remember. the Show feels like it draws from the same pool as maybe "Star Fox", it wasn't long just lasting 1 season, but it was a nice n colourful show, I enjoyed it between Transformers, He-man and thundercats among others. I recall I did own afew of the toys, Dead Eye here included, I thought he was cool. Enjoy! ^_^ Oh, I was also voiced by scott McNeil of gundam wing fame, voice of Duo and also voice of Ratrap in Transformers Beast Wars.

TF_Circuit Breaker_Doodle 01_Aug21

Here is a little fan art Doodle I did of Circuit Breaker an original human anti hero character from the marvel days of the Transformers comic, she is like a scientist/engineer who was caught in an attack by the decepticon shockwave and was severely electrocuted loosing the use of her legs. she built herself a robotic exoskeleton to restore her mobility and she was reborn as Circuit Breaker. She gained electrical powers and flight and basically vowed to destroy all robots regardless of their affiliation.She continued to be a popular character that didn't appear anywhere else other than the marvel run of transformers, these Days Hasbro haven't been able to use her in anything as she is considered a marvel creation, so they have had to resort to off brand lookalike style characters to continue her legacy. I think there were some attempts to join her up with a team of other super powered agents to separate her from the Transformers brand but these were unsuccessful from what I remember.Also in Regeneration One, a continuation of the Marvel continuity in IDW Publishing's comics they did pass the mantle onto Spike Witwicky dubbing himself "Circuit Smasher" and thats about the most recent and high profile use of the character to my knowledge.This was alot of fun to do, I had the idea in my head for a while to see if I could replicate the look of a circuit board with the little circles and connective lines kind of forming at will up to Circuit Breaker as their source like she is commanding them to form like roots, that kind of thing. I am no expert in how circuit boards are laid out I just searched afew images to get the general idea and tried going for designs I liked the look of.Hope u Enjoy, this turned out better than I could have hoped! ^_^

sf3 urien_Doodle_aug2021_01

Here is a little doodle of Street Fighter Urien, he debut in the 3rd revision of Street Fighter 3, he is Brother to the main boss Gill and hopes to usurp his throne one day as head of the illuminati. Urien has power over lightning and metal I believe while his brother has fire and ice at his finger tips, here I drew him charging up for his projectile attack, metallic sphere I believe. I was always very impressed with Urien's sprite work and indeed all the street fighter 3 sprite art when i saw it back in the late 90's, its widely considered the finest sprite art of its era, so yeah here is my little tribute to an awesome game, Enjoy!

Visionaries_Galadria vs Virulina_Doodle01Jul2021

Here's my a combination of my two Visionaries doodles I put up previously, Here we have both Spectral Knight Galadria vs Virulina the Darkling Lord both in their element battle for dominion of the sea! This was alot of fun, it took a while to crop both girls and their Totem projections out in Photoshop but the results look great. The Background was accomplished with an old technique I have used before I wanted to dust off, being inspired by some ol cartoons that did some trippy looking backgrounds with what look like water colours, I used soft pastels, getting darker and darker to make it look like the sea and I flicked a pair of paintbrush bristles together with white ink to get those white dots to make it look kinda like bubbles or sorta general undersea current, that kind of thing. Anyway Hope you enjoy this was alot of fun, the girls slot together very well, Enjoy!
