Art Crash Details:

As usual I emailed a few celebrities/people that are just rather groovy asking if they would suggest something for me to paint.  Some asked to remain anonymous, but those that didn't are presented here at the beginning.  These suggestions aren't better than the rest, but etiquette says I seat them at the head of the table.  That said, enjoy:

....based on the suggestion from Warwick Davis (and Caz) that I paint something to do with Willow and Star Wars. I think I was just so surprised to get a response from his site that I got carried away and had to throw the Leprechaun in there.

...based off the suggestion by Scott McCloud that I paint a "Frightening Unicorn."  Oddly enough I think I pulled it off, as this morning I opened an email containing this:   "Unicorns have always scared the crap out of me. I can't get past the fact that they're horse with F***ING GREAT BIG POINTY THINGS STICKING OUT OF THEIR HEADS, and that the whole "wise peaceful beings" was just a way to reassure people until they gored them to death."

...based off the suggestion by Brian Clevinger, the man behind 8-Bit Theater and a mysterious book that you should buy, that I do something with his characters. 

...based off the second suggestion by Brian Clevinger that I paint "Atomic Robo", Tesla's crime-fighting robot that likes to wear clothing.  

...based off the suggestion from Mr. Skullhead (of Kingdom of Loathing) that I paint "The Dark Night of the Ungulate Soul."  For those not in the know, Ungulate is the family name for any mammal with a hoof. 

...based off an off-handed comment from Neil Zawacki, the author of "How To Be A Villain", regarding ninjas riding dinosaurs.

....based off the suggestion from Clark Sorensen, the only man I know that turns Urinals into Art, that I paint a demonic flower of some kind.

...based off the suggestion "Ouroboros." Be ready to see this one again once I find my drawing compass.

...based off the suggestion "Dinosaur Kitten Samurai."

...based off the cover of the movie, Frankenstein Island.

...based off the suggestion that I spend an entire day painting old He-man villains.  Since I didn't feel like wasting a day at it, I merely did a painting of "Stinkor", the anthropomorphic skunk that wages war against Eternia with his funky odor.

...based off the suggestion that I paint something from Vampire Hunter D.

...based off the suggestion "Rock and Roll Robot."

...based off the suggestion "How do you type with your boxing gloves on?"  This was obviously a Homestar Runner reference, so I sort of took it in a weird direction.  I swear if you look hard enough you won't find another website with such messed up HomestarRunner.com fan art on it.  If you've been reading the site long enough, you know what I mean.

...based off the suggestion that I paint "Suicide Lad."  If you know me on any forum, you might recognize my avatar.  Suicide Lad was, about two years ago, supposed to be made into a narrative strip that was destined for this site.  Obviously that didn't happen, but friends and fans haven't forgotten. 

...based off the suggestion that "Welcome to Bunnyland."

...based off my desire to paint a REAL character from one of my favorite movies.  "Freaks" features the Amazing Randion, a real man without an limbs.  If that wasn't enough you get to watch him light his own cigarette.  Randion really is amazing.

...based off the suggestion "The Battle Slug."  Yes, THE Battle Slug.

...based off the suggestion "The Drunken Road."

...based off the suggestion "I am haunted by a hobo spirit."

...based off the suggestion that I paint something from the fighting game Tekken.  What was originally going to be a giant Aztec somehow turned into a character from a completely different game.  Go figure.

...based off the suggestion "I want pumpkins."

...based off the suggestion that I paint something from Sailor Moon. 

...based off the suggestion that "Anything from Ghostbusters would be awesome."

...based off the suggestion "Beowulf."

...based off the suggestion that I paint something from obscure mythology.  If you can name what you're looking at, you're either a humanities student or someone who played Shadowrun far too much.

...based off the suggestion "Rupture."

...based off the demand for another self-portrait.

...based off the suggestion that I paint "reincarnation really happens in the womb."

...based off my desire to repaint one of the first things I ever painted for the site, King Kolobos of Atlantis.

...based off the suggestion that the world needed to see a chubby vampire.

...based off the suggestion that I spend a day painting nothing but classic monsters.  I did a few of them and I think they turned out rather well.  This one also shows off one of the new things I tried out...splattering ink all over the place and trying to turn it into Art.  There are mixed results all over the Art Crash, but this one obviously made me happy.

...based off the suggestion "Unpleasant Smile."

...based off the suggestion "Japanese Burrito." 

...based off the suggestion "Turtle Power."

I wish I could say that this was requested, but what was originally supposed to be castle walls somehow ended up making an interesting if not accidental turban that I wanted to cash in on.  Don't hate me.

...based off the suggestion "A Salamander that sucks out people's brains and turns them into zombies." 

  ...based off the suggestion "American Idol."  Don't sue me.  I don't watch Japanese television shows.

...based off the suggestion "Welcome to my Turtle Kingdom."

...based off the suggestion "Squawk."

...based off a suggestion containing a word I don't want to type.  I've done it before...and in fact I've painted this fellow before. It seems like forever ago, but he actually appeared in one of the first "narrative" comics I made two years ago.  It's awful, but trivia fans might dig it.  I never forget about a character, even if he only got drawn once.

...based off a suggestion that I mentioned before regarding He-man villains.  This is Modulok.  While he wasn't really in the cartoons that much, Modulok is remembered for having the coolest toy ever.  He came with two heads, 8 arms, 20 legs and two torsos.  Think of him as a monster made of fleshy legos.  When I was 8 or so my mother threw him out.  Being demon-red and having horns (and claws and fangs) my mother thought he was "un-Christian" and best put in the garbage.  :sigh:

...based off a suggestion "Tiny Godzilla."

...based off a suggestion that I paint Suicide Lad.  Again. 

...based off a suggestion from some Eyeskream folks that I paint something really difficult:  A skeletal Army riding on skeletal mounts.  I meant to do a really detailed version of it...but forgot about the request until the last day was almost over.  While it's a messy cheat, if you look closely in the bottom right corner you'll see a psychotic version of my own skull laughing at you.

The following pieces weren't pulled from requests but are instead me playing around with ink.  With mixed results.

  ...based off a suggestion  "Doctor, why did you replace my arms with flamethrowers?"

...based off the suggestion "Church of Hate."

...based off a suggestion that I paint a bunch of classic monsters all day.  While I didn't do that, this was Dracula's cameo on the Art Crash.

I don't know why I painted this.  Gah.

...based off the suggestion "paint someone with an arm coming out of his forehead with a knife about to stab him."  Admittedly, sometimes these suggestions are detailed enough I don't feel they're missing anything.

...based off the suggestion that I paint a "very scare clown."

...based off the suggestion "nanotechnology." 

...based off a suggestion that I paint something from Transmetropolitan.

...based off the KoL suggestion that I paint a volleyball with a broadsword.  I got a little weird with it, obviously.  Then again, if you don't play the game (or even if you do) that suggestion doesn't make a lick of sense.

...based off the suggestion "Maus."

...based off the suggestion "Moose in Top Hat."

...based off the suggestion that I paint something from a good movie.  Donnie Darko obviously came to mind.  In fact, I think I ended up painting Frank the Bunny about three times by the end of this.

...based off the suggestion that I paint Ash from Evil Dead.

...based off the suggestion that paint the cast and crew of "The Hilarious House of Frightenstein."  A children's show made when Vincent Price was very broke and needed the money, Frightenstein features the weirdest Horror-based children's entertainment that I've ever seen.  Really.  Oh, and they had characters named Harvey Wallbanger and Super Hippy.  Check it out by clicking here.

...based off the suggestion that I paint the character "Cy-boar."  You know, the online comic character that's a robotic mutant pig?  Check out their character page to understand what the heck I'm talking about (by clicking here.)  If you look carefully enough, you'll see the mention of "The Gunny Bears."  For the love of God, I'd love to see that as a show.  (Gunny Bears, blasting here and there and everywhere, high adventure that's beyond compare....)

Because it's true.

...based off the suggestion that I paint a stingray.

...based off the suggestion "Church of Hate".  A suggestion so nice, I did it twice.

Speaking of repeats, I also painted Ash from Evil Dead more than once too.

...based off the suggestion that I paint something from Nightmare Before Christmas.  Whenever people ask me to paint something from Burton (or Jhonen or Dirge) it's always a little awkward.  A lot of people say "holy crap, your work reminds me of that other guy's stuff!"  They usually mean well (usually) but, well, yeah. Still...when I was a kid I was a huge fan of all the background monsters of the movie, and well, I think that shows here.

This isn't the last Donnie Darko painting I did.  Sorry about that.

...based off the suggestion "Run, Run fast as you can."

...based off the suggestion "The saddest Elf in the world."

...based off the suggestion "Roadside Evangelist."

...based off the suggestion that I paint a squid.  Duh.

This was just a cute doodle that got out of hand.

...based off the suggestion "prepared for rain."

...based off the suggestion "if you could be any animal, what would you be?"

...based off the suggestion that I paint my version of THIS.

...based off the suggestion "Purge."

...based off the suggestion "Spongebob Squarepants...in sixty seconds."  While I think this still took longer than that because I had to wait for the paint to dry, it was done very, very quickly. 

...based off the suggestion "Rubber Ducky, what have you done?"

...based off the suggestion "She's dead."  Not the best suggestions, but I try to indulge.

...based off yet another suggestion that I paint a Pacman. 

...based off the suggestion "A Goth's greatest nightmare."

...based off the suggestion "Tiny Godzilla."  This was actually the first one I did and when you compare it to the other one I did, it becomes clear that I didn't make lil' Zilla as cute as he could have been.

...based off the suggestion "My precious."

...based off the suggestion that I paint the "Hypnotoad."  At first I didn't remember what the heck that was from.  Now that I DO remember, I'm filled with shame.

...based off the suggestion "Lost."

...based off the suggestion "When Sock Puppets Ruled the Earth."

...based off the suggestion "paint me a duck." 

...based off the suggestion "She's on fire."

...based off the suggestion "paint me a lobster wearing 1850's clothing smoking a hashish pipe while riding on a muffin-pulled locomotive that is crushing the proletariat."  Obviously.

...based off the suggestion "funky piñata."

...based off the suggestion "cyborg goth dragon."

...based off the suggestion "Ninja with a fishbowl for a head."  Obviously I strayed, but I'm still pretty happy.

  ...based off the suggestion "Eat me."

Have you figured out what the heck that other mythological beast was supposed to be?  This was the original ink sketch that started it all.

This was the Frankenstein monster's appearance on the Art Crash.

This is the last Donnie Darko image on the Art Crash.  I swears.

...based off the suggestion "Brainburn."

Mr. Hyde also made an appearance to help round-out the classic monster line-up.

...based off the suggestion "flesh-eating virus."

...based off the suggestion "a giraffe."  Sorry, nothing fancy here.

  ...based off the suggestion "I can start an earthquake with my ridiculously large feet."  Obviously he just meant to type that he was, indeed, "Da Earthshaka."

...based off the suggestion "where is your dream house?"

...based off the suggestion "chainsaw robot crocodile."

This one is simply my response to a rather twisted love letter I received via email in the middle of the Crash.

  ...based off the suggestion "The Eclipse."

...based off the suggestion "mutant echidna." 

...based off the suggestion "what if robots had designed man instead of God/Fate/Evolution?"  I really wish I'd done this one in normal ink.  The idea is there, but far too fuzzy.

...based off the suggestion "a big bunny."  I took it a step further and just painted Big Bunny.

...based off the suggestion "endangered species."  There's a double meaning there, but I don't expect someone who doesn't know the market price of gold paint to get it.

...based off the suggestion "E.T. is chilly."

...based off the suggestion "The bouncing of the Bulls."

These three are actually the results of my annual "paint with the wrong hand and/or blindfolded" practice.  While I painted a few that did NOT turn out that great, these were the best of the lot because they, well, look like something.

...based off the suggestion "A rather fancy bird."

...based off something my friend says every time he goes outside and sees the moon.  Anyone who has to say "Hello Mister Moon" every time he, well, sees the moon....they're memorable.

...based off the suggestion that I create a superhero that has the "power of the hagfish."

  Before you hate me, know that this was painted as requested.  Someone dared me to make a more offensive comic than the "tard launcher" from the last Art Crash.  While the comic itself says what I think, you might find it funny.

...based off the suggestion "paint me a squid!"  Twice.

...based off the suggestion "Frog Princess."

  If you know what EnterVoid.com is, then you might recognized the idea of an aquatic creature piloting a robot.  These were two alternate designs that I doodled during the Art Crash.  And yes, the lobster in the 2nd one was supposed to be one of those furry albino ones that got discovered about a month ago.  Because fuzzy white lobsters bring me joy.

...based off the suggestion "put the lime in the coconut."  I don't know if that was the real suggestion, but that's what I can make out from my notes.  They might have actually asked me to paint something about the cockonut...but the less said about that the better.

...based off the suggestion "cupcake from Hell."

...based off the suggestion "flying fish."

...based off the suggestion "do something with impressionism."  I don't think it worked out, personally.

...based off the suggestion "Captain Viagra."  Yes, the clergy know it's phallic too.

...based off the suggestion "Caged Mind."

...based off the suggestion "I am the croissant!"

...based off the suggestion "OMG J00 C8N DR@W STr33+Fi&T3R!"  I'm paraphrasing, but I think I was supposed to draw something from the game series Streetfighter.  Blanka was an obvious choice.  While I was digging through some of the newer games, I found the guy featured in the second image.  Japan.  What the hell?

...based off the suggestion "my son won't wake up."

...based off the suggestion "The Dread Beaver Aphid."

...based off the suggestion "a deep blue cat."

...based off the suggestion "The Alien."

Well, that's it folks.  All in all, I think the quality is a bit higher than the last Art Crash...but maybe I'm crazy.  Oh and feel free to email me if you want anything you see.  These Crashes are fun and all, but I'm running out of places to put these things.
