SPLINTER!

My all time favorite versions of TMNT was Michael Zulli's run set in feudal Japan. The Turtles were demons summoned by Splinter with black magic. Ever since, I've thought of him as more of a manipulative force as opposed to the good mentor. Everything he has the Ninja Turtles do is to reach his own goal of revenge.

and yes, I have returned to the internet, don't worry I haven't been just wasting time, there's a big announcement coming soon..

If you don't want to use photoshop, you can always just draw TMNT on your face! :)

Didn't you know it was a meme?

Round 16: TMNT!

Um . . . cowabunga?

TMNT ROUND!!

The Last Circus

Happy new year!!

Watched "The Last Circus" over the holidaze and it was probably the best movie I saw out of the half dozen or so movies I watched during vacation. The ultimate "clowns after midnight" movie. Not for the faint however.

Here is the trailer.

Not too happy with the proportions but charcoal is fun on recycled rough sketch paper. Why does it have to be so hard to sharpen charcoal pencils?

Surprise Round 3: Stretchy Sups

Round 15: Ahsoka Tano

The wife and I have been watching season 2 of Star Wars: Clone Wars. I was skeptical at first, but everything is really well done and I've been really enjoying it.

This piece I've been working on here and there for like a month. It is my first attempt at digital painting, and I have realized that I could keep working on it forever. So I am keeping in the spirit of the blog and posting it a little more sketchy.

Round 15: Asajj Ventress & Clones

Wow, it has been a while! Sorry this is a bit further than the sketch phase...I got a little carried away. I tried to keep the style a little more basic. This is Asajj Ventress and some very screwed clones from Star Wars: The Clone Wars. I thought I wouldn't like the show, but now I looove it. The design and CG work alone is stunning.

...I meet him in a swamp down on dagobah...

...just a plain old pencil sketch of Yoda..

Round 15: Maul

My warm-up sketch for yesterday.

Round 15: Skywalker Ranch

Growing up as a Marin teen, 23 min. from my Mom's house, loomed a force.

PS: Erin and I have a new web address; www.cranco.co (not com).

Not originally intended for a 'Sketchy' type of post but the theme is fitting.
Enjoy!
