Bloggers by Wes, Series 3!!!
Category: Art

Okay! Given that the last time I did this was way back in November (in addition to this entry a couple of days earlier), I figured it was time for more BLOGGERS BY WES. If I remember correctly, Phil made a comment to the effect of "I guess Wes only draws female bloggers!" -- so this time, to prove him oh-so wrong, the cast is all male. I will say, however, that (generally speaking) drawing women in this style is or at least can be slightly easier. Facial features are more/less ignored -- though sometimes I try and approximate the shape of the face -- so I have to rely on other things to make a drawing look like the person in question.

Usually it comes down to hair and props -- and men tend to have more boring and less identifiable hairstyles. So props take on a much greater role. But men don't tend to accessorize! So that complicates things. Clothing would also be very helpful -- and it is with cartoon characters, who (have you noticed?) tend to wear the exact same goddamned thing every time they appear, and can therefore be easily identified by outfit alone, but real people tend to like variety in their wardrobes (not me, though; I dream of a closet filled with little black shirts and pairs of black jeans, with maybe a few pairs of black leather pants). Anyway, let's get to the drawings. See if you can guess who's who! (more...)

Batman returns!
Category: Art

The Batman, GO!

So I actually drew (and posted) these a while ago on the old Blog of Wes, but with the new Batman film in theaters and me having (hopefully) gained some new readers since last September, I figured I'd post these drawings again. (Click the above pic to open a larger version in a new window.) Obviously, their look more/less takes after the style of the newest Batman animated series, but they're Batman! Everyone likes the Dark Knight. 🙂

Inspired by the Batman Returns: Deep Dive Batman action figure.

And now I'm off to bed. Ja ne, minna-san!

Anime Screamin' Meemie!

Anime Screamin' Meemie!

It's Screamin' Meemie of MADBALLS fame, anime style! Drew this a while ago -- back in college. I can't remember the date, but it was one of my earlier attempts at scanning drawings in and coloring them on the PC. Still looks pretty good, I think. 🙂

And now I'm off to read a little Sin City before I sleep. Ja!

Triceraton love!
Category: Art

So I drew this guy waaaay back in December while I was still working at PGCC and didn't get around to coloring him until sometime in February -- I'd all but forgotten about the pic until tOkKa sent over that cool Triceraton button for SC. Anyway, here's a Triceraton, Wes style! (more...)
