An Acoustic Version of Unborn Insanity

The cluttered world of Frothy Jazz, Jack & Jill, Other Attic, Pylons/Traffic Cones, and the beats of war and flowers. It's like I'm really a comic book. In addition, you may find random images and game-related jazz on here. Who knows what's in store?!

LONG TIME NO SEE... Been working on a nonsense side project... this fancy whatever it is. Drawing several female characters from various anime (and eventually games; Misty teeters on both), trying out various styles (and injecting my own flavor) and learning to pose a little better and do new things with shading and coloring, which I am also implementing in my original character stuff (which is coming soon; Been working on big stuff that I am not ready to reveal yet). These are the first 4 characters I have done across the week: Misty (Pokémon), Sailor Jupiter (Sailor Moon), Bulma (Dragon Ball) & Sucy (Little Witch Academia). Trying to keep a ‘consistent’ style while also trying to capture the style and personality of the character. I will admit I kind of copped out with Misty’s other arm, but the original idea was to put her behind another character for the ‘full’ version of this, but you know. She was also the first character I did and I didn’t know where I was going with this at the time. Maybe I will revisit it later. Anyway, I hope people enjoy these. I’m pretty proud of them.

Last pic for tonight. Here’s two more older characters that didn’t get used yet, from Other Attic. Crow & Leif. Again, just a garbage sketch. Serious issues with the proportions and everything. Crow is part of a group that went insane and ended up in the Other Attic that thinks he is a rabbit. Leif is a criminal that tried hanging himself, but ends up in Other Attic, then crosses paths with Crow who thinks he is a pig because of the mask he’s wearing (which is now tightened and stuck on his face). As far as designs, Crow was originally actually meant to BE a rabbit, and was heavily based on the blink-182 rabbit mixed with their smiley logo, but he later became a guy in a suit. Leif was always a guy in a mask, but his story wasn’t really planned out. Initially, the pair was going to have their own comic, but I honestly couldn’t think of a good plot that revolved around two killers dressed as animals, so they became background characters for my larger stories instead.

It’s a long story to explain them, and it will happen when I need to explain it, but for now, just enjoy that they are weird and stupid.

Two more old characters that hadn’t been used yet in the comics. They were planned for an arc I hadn’t gotten to yet for Jack & Jill centering around Duck learning about other kids that had been part of the project he’d been subjected to turning him into a weapon. Originally, the concept was just Duck, but then I created Moth, who I decided was his opposite, but I slowly began adding other characters to the project, including Crow (from Other Attic) and then creating the girl, Ant. This created a naming scheme of 2 birds & 2 bugs, coincidentally, actually. Moth’s design was originally intended to be kind of bishounen, but I slowly drifted away from that, deciding to make Crow more of one, since his face is generally hidden, making it more of a surprise when his face is revealed. Ant was designed to just be a quiet girl that really didn’t like the idea of fighting or using her weapons. The new character, Firefly, is probably going to join them. While Moth, Duck & Ant brood about their misfortune, and Crow went insane, I like to think Firefly is another opposite, as she is a positive character who is a weapon, but accepts her fate and makes light of it. I’m not sure. These are just sketches, trying to get a feel for redrawing all of these characters that I haven’t drawn in almost 10 years. I don’t actually know what style I am going with, and will put more effort in final/colored versions.

This is just a garbage sketch of a character that had a pivotal role in the original (and unfinished) “Other Attic” story. Mr. Bubbles is actually based directly on a real person I know named Jean. This isn’t a final version, I just redrew the original picture from years ago and changed the face a bit to what the kid last looked like when I saw him. I’ll probably change a bit about him if I get around to rebooting Other Attic, but he was basically the embodiment of 4chan, so everything that came out of his mouth was like reading a thread on any board there. Not sure if that aspect will continue on in his final form or not. I think the fact he treats Other Attic as a game & respawns will stick, though.

I honestly have no idea what this is. This isn’t even what it started as. It originally looked like 80s Shredder, wrapped in bandages with the alarm on his head, then the body started getting too weird for the cartoony face, so it became a zombie. I decided this would be part of “Other Attic” since none of that needs to ever make sense, just needs to be creepy and stupid, which is exactly what a Mummy Policeman is.

New year, new promises and a new character. I have officially begun actually restarting my comics, having written out an outline and 60% of the script and beginning to rebrand my stuff with new colors and ideas. I sketched a girl while coming home yesterday and decided to fully redraw her a few hours ago. I really wanted to make a girl with a “firefly” theme, but I don’t really know why. When it came to coloring, I decided on “watermelon” colors, but I am not 100% sure if they will be final or not. I was inspired a little (both in color and in design) by 80′s anime. I don’t know. I’ll find a place for her. Really, just felt like sharing this because I’m excited to be drawing again for myself. I’m excited to start comics again. Little by little, but it’s real this time.

And finally (for now) here are my amiibo specifically from Super Smash Bros. 4. I also snuck in a few extra shots of Ness & Silver Mario for the heck of it.

[frothyjazz]

More pictures of my amiibo collection. This time featuring characters from Melee & Brawl as well as Splatoon. You can also see my Skull Kid figure peeking in the background.

Here are some pictures of my amiibo of characters who appeared in Super Smash Bros. 64, my “Super Mario” series amiibo and my only Disney Infinity figure, Donald Duck.

Here’s another group of GoNintendo Podcast art I did over the past year. I love the way most of these came out. For the most part. Maybe not.

[frothyjazz]

It’s been a year since I last updated. I’ve done a lot more GoNintendo art in that time, but I decided to just share some highlights from between this and last June. Some of my best work for the site, some of my “okay-est” work.

[frothyjazz]

This was originally supposed to be an image for GoNintendo Podcast pre-E3, but I wound up being ambitious, and it turned into a project that spanned several days of drawing, redrawing, planning and rearranging. The concept was to create a Hype Train carrying all of Nintendo's franchises and IPs up until this point, leading into the introduction of a new Zelda and potentially a brand new IP by Miyamoto himself. Unfortunately, due to the way I set up the image, I ran out of room. I could, in theory, do some moving around, but I wanted to get this done before Nintendo's E3 conference and that would've taken up too much time, so I settled on what I had done, FOR NOW. I do hope to get back to it and add more franchises. I didn't make it to the most recent consoles, so no Wii, 3DS/eShop, WiiWare, Wii U franchises are represented aside from Mii. There are over 70 different classic games from Game & Watch up through Nintendo DS in this drawing, showing off Nintendo's diversity and my inability to articulate some of it. I hope someone out there enjoys this, even though it's literally being posted at the last minute. In any case, for those who care, it is decently sized for some older/smaller monitors. It's designed to be used as a desktop, but outside of my crappy old one, I don't know if it will look good on many.

Been a long time, huh?

Here is a collection of GoNintendo Podcast pictures I’ve done from December through May that I forgot to upload.

Some of these were drawn with Art Academy: Sketchpad.

Enjoy!

The final part of my December art, all Animal Crossing New Leaf. It has a lot of Snowmen. And love blooming on the battlefield.

[frothyjazz]

Part 2 of 3 of my December artwork. Primarily Ocarina of Time, A Link Between Worlds and some assorted 3DS games, NES Remix (Wii U) and a collection of posts I did on my Activity Feed 'longways'. Don't forget to fullview to see the entire artwork for all the posts! BY THE WAY, the ALBW art has spoilers. It's near the bottom, before the assorted games & longways art. One last part. It will feature just Animal Crossing: New Leaf art. 

[frothyjazz]

Make sure to click on the pictures to fullview all of the posts! Continuing from November, here's a compilation of Miiverse Posts from December. These span across The Wind Waker, NES Remix, Virtual Console games, Dr. Luigi, and more, as well as various 3DS games due to the Miiverse coming to that. Because there are so many drawings I did in December, I had to split this up. This post focuses on Wii U drawings, while the next one will focus on 3DS.

Sick/Christmas/New Year

I know nobody looks at this blog, but I was going full blast on the Pokemon Challenge for a week then stopped abruptly. I got sick immediately after a few of them and busy most of the rest of the days (went to NYC, been out getting Christmasy things, having gatherings, Christmas, New Year prep, etc). It's been a weird December. Felt like it flew, and I feel like I didn't really get to do a LOT of things I wanted to, not just the art meme.

I'm going to have to call it quits in terms of keeping up with this. Maybe one day I'll just do the rest and make it a single piece, but yeah. Sucks. :|

ALSO! As you may notice, I made a Christmas-themed avatar. Enjoy.
