Little Heroes

I've been horrible at posting on here due to my laziness and the ease of posting to Twitter, Instagram and all those other hip sites. But I haven't completely abandoned this blog, so here are some little superheroes that I've been doing recently.

H.E.R.B.I.E Goes Bananas

Well i haven't been able to keep up with the "toy-a-day" theme i had going and that's because of work and also because we're moving to a new place on monday. We really move around alot (this will be our 5th move in our 4 years of marriage) but we actually enjoy it. Although i don't think our friends and family feel the same way since they always have to help us move...

So in-between packing up boxes i was in the mood to do something retro. I decided to do a "Mr. Peabody" type illustration using everybody's favorite Human-Torch-Substitute, H.E.R.B.I.E. I wanted it to feel like an old cartoon still frame. It was definitely a fun experiment.

I might add a few more things to the background/foreground after we've settled into our new place.

Stretch

I've been reading some of my old Fantastic Four comics and got the urge to do some comic art. I wanted to practice using a new brush pen i bought recently so i did this one traditionally. I also thought it would be fun to do some Marvel characters in a style similar to the Batman: Brave and the Bold cartoon so that's what i was going for here.
