[Red Baron Art Experiments]

I love this artistic direction.

Typical superhero-isk or manga-isk looks are neat but often times over-rated.

It's a refreshing relief to the eye and soul to see someone who goes beyond the boundaries of trying to make something look a certain way.

You just do what an artist should do, dig down deep and paint how you like, how you feel, and how the painting speaks to you as you paint.

I drew like this before and it's actually quite relaxing change vs graphic arts or trying to make a comic book.

Cause there are rules in graphic arts and in comics.

ART however...TRUE art....is pure FREEDOM!

Excellent work my Comrade.

[Demonic P-Bot]

The story seems a bit convoluted.

Almost to the point where I feel a large majority of audiences might dismiss the idea.

That is unless there's nothing really deep about Tom's explanation, just that it sounds absurd.

It's all in the presentation and acting.

When I saw this...my first impression was a Virus somehow invaded P-Bot's circuitry through spam of the portal, causing him to disembowel himself (in a way only robots can), and essentially turning him into a Zombie-Bot.

It almost seems more "fearful" if his goggles suddenly lit up and his eyes open up and turned into jaws.

BUT....that's just my interpretation.

As it is right now...it doesn't strike fear as the familiarity of P-Bot's face still retains his innocence.

Try having his "goggles" become his eyes, and his face somehow rips open and forms MASSIVE TEETH!

MindChamber responds:

Ok. well the reason Pbots face remained intact is to have some sort of semblance to the original character. Its supposed to be creepy granted but its also supposed to be funny. If a demonic mickey Mouse toy was chasing you down a hallway, it wouldn't be nearly as ridiculous if Mikey himself wasn't somewhat identifiable. as for the story being convoluted. I disagree. It has a plot device and setup for the action. and that's it. that's all you really need for a horror or action movie. I would agree it being convoluted if say I began with a back story of the Key, or why Tom has it, or how he figured out how to use it as a power source.

the fact that Tom states he is using a demonic entity as an alternative power source should be enough for you to conclude that this is an absurd story.

[Rocko's Modern Life]

I was wondering when you would draw this...

Because this is like the only fan art of Rocko's Modern Life.

I loved that show! It was rude, crude, and full of psychological nudity :P

And you capture the feel of characters so well!

Do Angry Beavers next!

[Painted Gold]

One of the most classic Bond scenes.

Death by Gold.

Man those were the days of espionage movies.

Great painting

You capture lighting well.

beastkid7 responds:

Death by gold indeed. Yes! I chose Goldfinger out of all the other James Bond movies cause I had the most memories from this one ...it was the most memorable to me. -Odd job - Dead gold lady - Lazer scene "do you expect me to talk?" "No Mr. Bond I expect you to die."

[Red Baron]

It indeed a different image of RB...

He seems almost like...more of a hero than a maniac.

A stoic individual - silent in the face of arrogance and anger.

Not his true character but it's cool.

The painted look as Mindchamber puts it, has a real "dream-esque" feel to it.

Good job Beast boy.

beastkid7 responds:

Glad you like it. -lol yeah- Brutal isn't really my specialty.

[Self Portrait]

Cute - you gave yourself Dexter eyes

Kinda like how I gave myself "Brock" eyes.

Turtle neck sweaters and glasses.

A real intellectual.

PixelCake responds:

Well they are Mandark-shaped glasses :)

[red baron]

I was wondering when you were going to post this.

Still waiting on the original to be delivered but hey, it takes a while right!?
Damn postal service.

Your old school style from the humble paper with mild tweaks on the computer makes your art favorable and valuable.

BECAUSE! This is how all artists should begin, with a paper and pencil.

Bravo dude.

dommi-fresh responds:

hopefully it will get to you A-OK message me when it arrives buddy.

[Yamato Nadeshiko]

They say Japanese steel is strong

But DAMN, that girl's gonna melt that sword!

Uber Hotness and amazing use of the rising sun logo that is most heinously Japan's greatest in achievements.

EXCELLENT!

BizarroJoe responds:

HAGANE NO ONANI JUTSU!!!
(That's how I like it! Before getting intelectual, you have to be visceral!
The name I had for this pic before the current one was "Hagane", d'you know?
I also recomend check Wikipedia's "Yamato Nadeshiko" article... It's amazing how everything seem to get together without being previously planned!
Loved your comment! Thank you very much!)

[mindchamber's red baron!]

Awesome!

It's Awesome + The Power of Awesome Square x the Theory of Awesome Infinity!

Its perfect to see the Baron eating while fighting - that'll be significant to his character.

Thanks again dude!

jouste responds:

hey thank YOU for pointing me out to a ver cool character and game!

man fighting and eating. now there was some simpler times. almost makes me want to don a loincloth, grab a broadsword and become a professional slayer!

thanks a lot pal!

*mega super highfive of DOOM!*

[Killer]

LOL I should post some kid art

I swear, I drew better then than I do now.

You should keep all childhood memorabilia if you have space.

That includes stuff from Newgrounds as well.
