Rocket from the Crypt


I'm trying to pump some life into this little blog o' mine, but I have recently not had the time or energy to do so. I now have a pile of drawings scanned and ready to go, so I guess I'll try to post regularly until that little stockpile runs out (notice how doing new drawings did not enter the equation).

My beginning of the year blog post which promises more updates "soon" just goes to show how relative the word "soon" can be. Same goes for promises made to friends concerning hanging out, calling each other, or getting that fabled drink.

I started fooling around with some different character designs a little while back due to the nature of a project I was working on at the time. The designs I liked the best didn't make the cut, which actually works in my favor, because now no company owns them!! Huzzah! I started drawing this monkey character in this sort-of samurai get-up. He's a lot of fun to draw, and I get to be very gestural due to his loose garments (and morals). He doesn't have a name yet, but I wanted it to be one of those really old fashioned names (not necessarily Biblical) that has somehow worked its way back into being a modern, cool name.
