Little bit of Non-CA related art *le gasp!*.... for a friend. Its my take on the giant Praying Mantis creature called Preytor from a game called "War of the Monsters". (I have no idea what that is... all I know is I was asked to draw it. LOL!)

I'm in love with the Boosh.....

haha, I like it a lot. You have great expressiveness in your paintings and such vibrant colors! Nice layout too. The screaming guy with the hat is awesome looking but his eyes could maybe be open a bit wider, and the guy's face next to him seems a little more stiff like he's maybe too posed and not a natural expression. I think it might just be the mouth. Keep 'em coming!

Thanks! If you haven't seen the "Mighty Boosh" show... you must go watch it immediately!!! LOL! They have a ton of clips on AdultSwim.com

Howard (the Hat guy) has squinty, small eyes (even when screaming) and they are always crackin' jokes about them.
Vince (long hair) is always posing and rarely "natural" looking. Often has that "Duh" look, so its actually a very fitting expression for him...

Seriously... you gotta watch the show! Its so freakin' hilarious!

Awesome stuff yet again

Only thing bothering me with your latest is the Hitcher's rather swollen right hand thumb

Thats his hitchin' thumb! He also plays Jazz Funk Slap Bass.... and with that giant thumb he can slap them strings like nobody's business!!!

pld:

Seriously there are so many inside jokes in this poster, if you don't know the show none of it makes any sense and it looks like I don't know what the hell I'm doing. LOL!

Unfortunately the "Team Chow" I was on didn't work out (too many unexpected real life delays) but these were my ideas for it... decided I'd share.

My thought was this is based in an alternate 1950's Los Angeles, where Hindu is the predominate religion on the planet (along with other multi-God religions, rather than Christianity, etc.) And they battle cheesy villains and B-Movie monsters. Basically its Bollywood meets Scooby-Doo meets Attack of the Giant Leeches. LOL!

These are my rough ideas... I'm posting the final designs in my "DeviantART" Gallery as I get them done. If you want to see them....

First Up... the Hero and the Shadow:

Ah shucks... thank you! I'm glad someone around here does...

**Lakeland** · May 18th, 2009, 02:42 AM

Hey man

To be frank, I dont like the team chow "Concepts" but Im really impressed by the research data and workflow. really good job preparing these. And the Hitcher impression is AWESUM. I watched many Mighty Booshes long time ago, and now seeing it here brought back the smile. Too bad they finished the series it was rocckin!

Anyway, cheers, Im watching you

**Me,Myself & Me again** · September 11th, 2009, 11:29 AM

your character designs are great they all tell a story about themselves. Beautiful

Hope to see more soon

**shannanigan** · December 5th, 2009, 06:03 PM

Wow... its been a while. I forgot my password and tried for about a month to get in but never got the confirmation emails to reset it. Eventually I just forgot about it. LOL!

Anyways... I finally tried again today and hey it worked! So I'm back...ish...

Latest bit of art... Eris the Farmer's Daughter... of Chaos and Discord.

**Sillirien** · January 6th, 2010, 09:22 AM

hello!
I like your style of work and hope to see more art from you!)
wish you inspiration

**dan liimatta** · January 6th, 2010, 10:08 AM

Some nice characters in here, but some others seem a bit skewered anatomy wise (for toons as well - I'm not talking about realistic anatomy etc) - still when it works it's pretty ace, and the design is good

I really like the ant comic and the last piece on the previous page ~

keep it up

(and I'm worse XD)

**shannanigan** · August 11th, 2010, 12:37 AM

I know I haven't been on here in FOREVER... so sorry for the delay. Thanks to everyone who has popped in here!

Thanks Dan for your input! I know my anatomy is off a lot of the time. Especially with foreshortening... and I won't even start on how completely crap my hands are. *sigh*

But I likes ta' draw.... so I keep at it.

**shannanigan** · August 11th, 2010, 12:47 AM

Just popping in to see whats the haps on ConceptArt... suppose I can share a couple things I've done since I was here last.
