Inktober 2019 PMD: Swing
I'm having more fun than I anticipated using a Plunger Monkey theme for these Inktober illustrations. It's getting me to explore my character in new ways, viewing him from different angles and putting his anatomy through different moves. This is another image that draws inspiration from a Calvin and Hobbes strip. It's not a
Inktober 2019 PMD: Frail
It's probably wrong that when I saw "frail" as the next prompt, I immediately thought of "old", especially considering I'm not getting any younger. I also believe it's possible to stay extremely fit and strong long into what most consider "old age". Regardless, the thought of Old Man Plunger Monkey tickled me, so I
Inktober 2019 PMD: Enchanted
This was another one that I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do. My first thought was dressing PMD up as a stereotypical fairy with wings, plunger wand, and tutu. Before I put pencil to paper, though, this image popped into my head, and I"m glad it did. Weird and nonsensical always
Inktober 2019 PMD: Husky
I went back and forth with this one, debating whether or not to depict PMD in his alter-ego state Plunger Gorilla (read It's Plunger Monkey Dynamo Time if you don't know what I'm talking about) (I really like Gorilla Monkey Dynamo better than Plunger Gorilla, but it makes less sense...not that anything about PMD
Inktober 2019 PMD: Build
I knew I wanted to do an image something like this for "build", paying homage to that classic Calvin and Hobbes strip by Bill Watterson (Calvin hammering nails into the coffee table, his mom running in asking him what the heck he's doing, and Calvin responding with "is this some sort of trick question?").
Inktober 2019 PMD: (Brain) Freeze
Day #4: (Brain) Freeze. It took me a while to come up with an idea, and even longer to work out the composition. Still not thrilled with it, but that's the way things go. I wanted to do something a little less literal, which I think I accomplished, at least.
Inktober 2019 PMD: Bait
Another fun one for Inktober 2019: bait. I really enjoyed working on the dock for whatever reason. I'm fairly pleased with the overall gesture of PMD, too. My original thought was to have me sitting on a dock fishing with a banana for PMD, but I'm much happier with this idea.
Inktober 2019 PMD: Mindless
This was another fun one to draw, and pretty reflective of what goes on inside my head. I think this is my first time drawing a brain, which is weird considering how frequently I reference Toby's Brain. They are tricky.
Inktober 2019 PMD: Ring
"Ring". First Inktober drawing following the 2019 prompts. I decided to add my own personal theme again (the first time I participated in 2015, I did self-portraits. The subsequent years were either random or following the prompts): Plunger Monkey. It's been several months since I've done a proper ink drawing, between life distractions and
Inktober 2019, Wrench Table
I drew this in the waiting room of the auto shop I took my van to for it's inspection. They have a cool table made out of welded together wrenches. I wasn't following the official prompts at this point, but, it's an ink drawing, and it was October 1st. Pen and ink in my
Lee’s Dragons: Forest Dragon
A day later than I wanted, but here's my dragon for my wife's birthday 2019. I drew this in Procreate on my iPad Pro.
Moleskin Sketch Camp Hidden Valley 2019 #7
Final sketch of the week from Friday, once again at the waterfront (it was just a nice place to sit). This tree had a nice, chunky root system, surrounded by gravel.
Please let me know what you think, it makes my brain happy.
