Batman Beyond Villain Ken

Okay so to compensate for my self-emasculation yesterday, here's a buffed up version of me, based on this freeze-frame of a villain in a Batman Beyond episode.


I colored it in Photoshop after scanning in the line art.

Æon Ken

I finally got around to Netflixing the early 90s MTV animated series Æon Flux. It's awesome! It's the most "holy crap how did I not see this until now" show since Freaks and Geeks. Minimalist, avant-garde science fiction that tosses aside everything non-essential and just focuses on one interesting idea each episode. It also features show creator Peter Chung's distinctive character design. Here are the distinctive opening credits.

I decided to do a self portrait in its style, basing the design mostly on this freeze-frame.


Update: Okay, here's a less effete self-portrait I did the next day. :P

Day 28: Coding

I'm working late tonight, so here's an old school CRT's eye view of me coding (even though I don't have any CRTs any more). I drew this while waiting for compiles. :P

Day 19: Kilroy Self Portrait

I'm really surprised at how well this came out. I think it's the first time I've tried drawing myself, and it actually kinda looks like me! It's based on the photo of myself at the top-right corner of my main blog. I used my friend's advice and turned that source photo upside-down before copying it, to avoid distractions, and it worked pretty well! The proportions are a little off; mostly it's a bit too tall I think. But still, I can recognize myself. It's crazy. I'm excited. :)

Day 15: Sniffles

I goh a wun-y 'ose... :(

(I'm going to stop bothering to write "pencil on sketchbook". You can assume that's the case unless otherwise noted. :P)

Day 12: Quick Eye Sketch

I need to practice drawing eyes more. This is just a quick rough sketch before bed. Will try it again another day.

Day 10: Vampiric Self-Portrait

Saw the very blue-tinted vampires vs. werewolves movie Underworld on TV. It wasn't very good. They did at least try to give it a story, but it's the kind of story that interests the "I wonder what the mechanics of their vampires and werewolves" geek in me, but not the actual story-liking part of me. :P

(Pencil in sketchbook, tinted in Photoshop.)

Day 3: Yawn

Too tired to do something more elaborate today, but I'm going to stick to the regimen and not skip a day!
