Lawmaker's Doodle Place

[Lawmaker]

Just thought I'd put some info here in the first thread, so If people actually look here first, they'd know, rather than sift through the entire thread... It's cut and paste from a few pages down:

------------------Request Info---------------------
Ok, Just to clarify... I don't take requests. (if you don't want to read all this crap about me, skip down to the bold orange textdown below :) )

For those of you who haven't been around a while, I used to have a shop set up in the old influence mall (old forums), pre-beta and I created loads of megas for people... three things happened that were horrible.

1. I had a HUGE list of people who wanted megas and unlike Quakester, I was relatively slow at it and my list kept building, and i could only do so many a day.

2. I had a real life.. work, wife, and all that jazz.... ok well I still have those things. :chuckle:

3. CoH came out. End making Megas.

More recently, I have begun to draw a lot more again... partially to re-aquire the skills i have lost from being so inactive (after art school in the early 90's I haven't really drawn anything for a long time), and another part because I lurked myself back to the forums again and was inspired (again).

But anyways to make an already long story short, I never want to have the guilt of letting down a lot of people by promising them art they will never get, so I no longer take requests for anything... but let me say this... feel free to ask, and perhaps on a whim I'll draw something if I need a subject or I am "inspired" or I just feel like it... BUT NO GUARANTEES!!!

Hope that doesn't sound mean-spirited or anything, it's just I don't know if I'll have time in the future to do this, and as long time Forum residents know, I fade in and out of the forums months at a time. For now though, just enjoy the art and cross your fingers...

--------------------Original Thread Below---------------------

On occassion, between bouts of gaming, real life, and general procrastination I do draw a little. I used to be an avid artist but life happened and i only pick up my pencil every couple of months (yes, sad I know).

I asked Quakester to make a couple of megas for me, and since there is no influence anymore I felt that i should repay him somehow, so I sat down and doodled a little. So Quakester, if you pass by here, Thanks again for the cool Megas!

Edit: changed to a Hyperlink (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/Rehven/Portfolio/Quakester_Color.jpg)

Here's (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/Rehven/Artwork/Quakester_BW.jpg) the line art in case you want to get a real color job :p

[Quakester]

HA! That's great, LM! More Quake art! :singdance

[Masked Revenger]

Heh, that's cool, I like it.

Chris

[Poison]

Sweet! Doodle more!

[Dynamo-Man]

Heh, that's cool, I like it.

Chris

Kinda looks like Raven-style drawing... ;)

[Tsarmina]

Awww! More cute doodles!

[Tarkenchi]

Nice Drawing lawmaker, I dunno if you remember, But Way-WAY back when, You promised me a drawing.... :p

[Quakester]

Nice Drawing lawmaker, I dunno if you remember, But Way-WAY back when, You promised me a drawing.... :p

Why is that always the case with you? O_o

[Plasma Wisp]

That's an awesome doodle and style. Cartoony, but a cool kind.

[TroubleWolf]

Why is that always the case with you? O_o

Because he's always on somebody's list. The kid's got more artwork than Spider-Man. :chuckle:

[Lawmaker]

Nice Drawing lawmaker, I dunno if you remember, But Way-WAY back when, You promised me a drawing.... :p

I did? Hmmm.... O_o Now that's kind of odd... You sure you got the right Lawmaker? LOL

heh... We'll see Tark...

anyways, I was making a new signature, since my old one (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/Rehven/Sig10.jpg) is too big, so i doodled some more!:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/Rehven/Portfolio/ToonsPreSig.jpg

If any one wants to volunteer coloring it for reals (i got lazy and didn't bother going beyond the flats), I can provide the line art as well.

Enjoy! :chuckle:

[Masked Revenger]

Dude, I love the style! :)

So, have you ever thought of doing this professionally?

Chris

[Lawmaker]

LOL What the cartoony style! For years i tried and tried to "draw the Marvel way" and I was actually an art major in College (before dropping out of art school, go figure, and going into Information Technology... O_o )

The cartoony style evolved from NOT being able to draw faces for the life of me :chuckle:

You can see some of my "real" art here (http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=2643).

The recent trend towards cartoony is cause i don't have the time to sit and draw in detail... the cartoons take less effort (and for some reason come out better! LOL :think: )

[Masked Revenger]

Yeah, your cartoony style. I am seriously looking for someone that can draw a comic I am writing. My friend runs a comic company, and wants to publish my book, I just need artwork for it. But, it's a cartoony, parody type of book, so it needs a cartoony style. I'm going to try my own hand at it, but I don't think I'm really up for doing a whole comic (my style isn't really good for it).

Chris

[Tarkenchi]

I did? Hmmm.... O_o Now that's kind of odd... You sure you got the right Lawmaker? LOL

heh... We'll see Tark...

Enjoy! :chuckle:


I think it was you, you did a sketch of kinetix, and then I asked if i could get one, or maybe that was x53... I know he owes me one, gave him pictures of WOlf to do.... hmm, am i getting old? :P

[Kinetix]

http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=29276&GSub=3735

DAYUM, LOOK AT THAT HAIR! HOW LONG DID THAT TAKE?

[Lawmaker]

http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=29276&GSub=3735

DAYUM, LOOK AT THAT HAIR! HOW LONG DID THAT TAKE?

LOL that was a real huge experiment... Don't know if i could ever reproduce that if i tried... :lol:

She still graces my desktop... :)

Oh and how long?? Hmmm.... it took longer to figure out than it did to make...

[Gollum_ARG]

phenomenal Work. Keep it up.

[Stan Walker]

definately fantastic job!

[Lawmaker]

My next little project... Tarkie!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/Rehven/Tarkie.jpg

Inking and colors (or maybe just flats) coming soon!

[Stalking Shadow]

Wicked!

You know who your drawings reminded me of, at first glance?

Klaymen (http://doo.nomoretangerines.com/nevhood/smabout/biosmklm.gif)

[Tarkenchi]

DUDE! HOLY ****! Thats amazing man! Thank you so much! :cool:

[Lawmaker]

DUDE! HOLY ****! Thats amazing man! Thank you so much! :cool:

LOL calm down Tark... It's not done yet :)

[Kinetix]

Can I color it once it's inked?

[Lawmaker]

Can I color it once it's inked?

Sure!

Here (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/Rehven/TarkieInks_50Perc.jpg) you go! I'm still practicing this whole inking thing, so bear with me... :)

[Tarkenchi]

GYAHA! INKS! INKS! VUNDERFAL INKS! :cool:

thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou*breaaathe*THANKYO UTHANKYOUTHANKYOUEEEEE

[Lawmaker]

LOL glad you like it Tark!

I think i am on a roll here today (err... tonight)...

I was sketching and I drew a figure that looked a little piratey... (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/Rehven/Portfolio/PirateHollis.jpg)

Sweet stuff Lawmaker. Good to see another Artist around these parts! :sk:

[Lawmaker]

Doing some Wacom practice... All done on my tablet... no scanning neccessary this time! Although it's a tad simpler in style :p

Evanescre (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/Rehven/Portfolio/Evanescre.jpg)

Heh, another one before bed...

Xanatos (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/Rehven/Portfolio/Xanatos.jpg)

[Lawmaker]

Back in the "speculation" and "pre-beta" days, there were a LOT of really creative and inventive heroes and supergroups created. Some exist today in CoH, others never managed to get into the retail game, groups broke up or players went their own ways. Just the sheer amount of characters and ideas flowing out of the old CoH forums was amazing.

One group in particular that I LOVED to death, and was really bummered out when they decided to call it quits, I first read about in the Paragon Beholder, then later on in the main forums, was the WILD 5. :) While some of the players are still around, but most of their characters alas, are not around any more, except for one of my favourites, Babe, the Blue Ox!

I have always loved this character design and concept, so i figured i'd take a shot at my interpretation of her.

Blue Ox (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/Rehven/Portfolio/BlueOx.jpg)

[Tarkenchi]

Lawmaker, Man, I love your style, it just is so beautiful, I love each and every picture you ever do, keep it up man, and im extremely glad you made it back here. :cool:

[Stan Walker]

definately its great!

[Lawmaker]

Thanks Tark and Stan :)

Here is another pic... a little goofy looking, but it's "practice" :p

The Imperial (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/Rehven/Portfolio/TheImperial.jpg)

[Kinetix]

I dont think that's goofy at all, it's your best so far!

[Thermyte]

WOW!

Great artwork, I really like it.

Infact, similiar to the stuff I tried to draw when I was younger... Very cool.

You've as well as the other artists, have inspired me to draw once again. Thanks d00ds. And again, VERY cool stuff, VERY cool. :chuckle:

[Lawmaker]

D'Arkaine does us a wonderful service with his spiffy website, Crey Industries, and I really appreciate all the time (and bandwidth) he gives us for free, so I figured a great way to show our thanks is with Fan Art! :chuckle:

Vindicator (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/Rehven/Portfolio/Vindcator.png)

for some reason saving this pic to a .jpg gave me Horrible quality, so this one is a PNG... much more crisp that way...

[Kinetix]

They keep getting better and better

[Lawmaker]

They keep getting better and better

finally! Thanks :lol:

Actually I am practicing a lot mostly to get used to using the Wacom Tablet, since I paid good money for it, I figured I should use it once in a while... My old method (like how i drew your Kinetix pic way back) was pencil sketch, ink, scanner, cleanup, color...

Except for the Quakester, Hollis, and Tarkenchi all the rest have been done 100% on my computer... no pencils except for some basicgesture studies to get the poses right. No scanning. Wacom to "pencil", fade the "pencil" layer to 40% and ink on a new layer, then color. I think the greatest timesaver is not having to do the cleanup for the inks... Plus I realized i really SUCK at inking in real life... :chuckle: and my inks actually look better the more I get accustomed to the Wacom pen.

If you look at my gallery (http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=2643) you'll notice the cartoony stuff I've been doing isn't "normal" LOL i was just lazy and doing Wacom Practice. That and cartoon faces are so much easier to draw than "realistic" faces. :)

Ok back to drawing... and thanks again for the compliments!

[Kinetix]

Here Tark:

http://img269.echo.cx/img269/1883/tarkcopy3jc.jpg

Do you think I can get one of Kin in this style?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v233/Badjoke/Kinetix/kin3.gifhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v233/Badjoke/Kinetix/bikerkin.gif

btw, that pic you drew of Kin, still amazes me. Best drawing of him ever. I love every piece of it.

[Lawmaker]

Ok, Just to clarify... I don't take requests. (if you don't want to read all this crap about me, skip down to the bold stuff at the bottom :) )

I know where you're coming from on the requests thing, and I totally agree with you. All I gotta say is as long as you keep posting pictures, I don't care who they're of. Just as long as we get to see them. :D

[inkblaster]

I love the tatoo, that's just awesome.

[Overbite]

Some really great stuff here...were can I sign up. :chuckle:

[Lawmaker]

I know where you're coming from on the requests thing, and I totally agree with you. All I gotta say is as long as you keep posting pictures, I don't care who they're of. Just as long as we get to see them. :D

Thanks everyone for the understanding... (especially you Afterglow.... since you and King of Spades were the next on my list, and both of you had multiple requests at that!! :chuckle: )

I do draw on a whim though, and I do sometimes scour the forums and Crey for fun things to draw... so the potential for me drawing a character usually is based on how much art/screenshots/micros or whatever that I can find... and if you have a cool character (hehe, my bias there I guess).

Inkblaster: hehe, I like the tattoo too... always makes me giggle... along with the "Dragon Warrior" slime on Hollis' hat... who always sort of reminded me of Amoeba Man :p

Veikira: Heh, I find it amusing that awesome artists like you tend to be art whores as well... "The" Veikira liking my art... that rocks. :rock:

Anyways, on to my most recent drawing... LOL I think i spent more time working on the background than Charon (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/Rehven/Portfolio/Charon.png)!

[Tarkenchi]

Überly cool man.

[AfterglowNoMore]

Best one yet I have to say.

[Rottweiler]

Anyways, on to my most recent drawing... LOL I think i spent more time working on the background than Charon (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/Rehven/Charon.png)!

Quick! Someone get on the Rottie mod of this pic! :shinner: Seriously, great job, Law!

[Dynamo-Man]

I can understand yer pain, Law. My thread is falling away for the very same reasons.

But, I would love to see how you draw a tanker (like maybe, Dynamo-Man!). ;)

[WingedAvenger]

Heavens to murgatroid! That Charon one is really great. :cool:

[Maveric]

You can see some of my "real" art here (http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=2643).


Nice! I enjoyed cratermaker and jury - (added them to my "to be photoshopped" folder :) )

-Mav

[Lawmaker]

Thanks for the compliments, Charon was pretty fun to draw, although originally he was just a sketch, and I wasn't sure who he would turn out to be... So I scoured the forums and Crey til i found someone who had enough art and looked the part... I actually considered Rottweiler, but was unsure of what he "really" looked like... LOL

Maveric: Glad you enjoyed my art. Some of that stuff is pretty old... I believe from the early 90's when i was in college and procrastinating classes. :) Cratermaker was originally named "Heat", but as there was no way I'd ever get that in game, I switched his name to Cratermaker, (who off chance was the name of a Villain in "my" super hero world. Jury was a character created based on my roomate in college :)

Anyways, here is a slightly more "cartoony" Kinetix (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/Rehven/Kinetix_BW.png), although it's sort of hard to ake them cartoony without the eyes :p

I left it black and white, cause I know Kinetix like to flex his coloring muscles...

[Kinetix]

:D Thanks! I like it so much! :singdance:singdance:singdance:singdance:singdance

[Thermyte]

VERY COOL!

I love that Kin drawing, one of the best of him'

[Overbite]

Veikira: Heh, I find it amusing that awesome artists like you tend to be art whores as well... "The" Veikira liking my art... that rocks. :rock:


Arent we all? He-He. It's aways nice to see something in another style.

[Yin]

Love the style! Keep it up!

[Lawmaker]

I have discovered that Backgrounds are surprisingly time consuming... I had Humor (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/Rehven/Portfolio/Humor.png) done a early yesterday, but adding the background took all afternoon! O_o

Funny thing is It's not even that detailed a background... I just took a damn long time figuring out how it should look! :chuckle:

Oh well, Hopefully the I get better... and faster.

[Kinetix]

Would you minc coloring mine since yo're so much better? I'll give you something in return.

[Lawmaker]

Green or black?

Background or no background? (lol add another few hours then :) )

Ahhh... Nevermind... You're getting green, cause solid blacks are excessively hard to do without making them look like a mudpuddle in the a closet on a moonless cloudy night. :P

[AfterglowNoMore]

I have discovered that Backgrounds are surprisingly time consuming... I had Humor (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/Rehven/Humor.png) done a early yesterday, but adding the background took all afternoon! O_o

Son of a butt humping biped that's awesome!

[Kinetix]

Green please, with stars on the chest. And a background if possible. Just tell me what you want. Megamen? Crey photos? Cardies? Micros?

[The Widowed]

Son of a butt humping biped that's awesome!
I should bring back Clobberin' Claus for a fight scene with this guy.... :D

[AfterglowNoMore]

I should bring back Clobberin' Claus for a fight scene with this guy.... :D
With Humor, or the Butt Humping Biped?

[The Widowed]

You have a Butt-Humping Biped?

With Humor, goofy! You remember Clobberin' Claus, don't you? :P

[AfterglowNoMore]

Do I ever, the biker santa right?

[Got]

Holy crap, this is the first time I've been in this thread and it's impressed me to no end. You can really see that you're settling back in to it with every picture you do. Not to patronise you at all but you're getting better and better.

Keep it up!

[AfterglowNoMore]

And the Humor pic is officially my new Desktop.

[Fantasmo]

Very cool stuff Lawmaker!

Heavens to Betsy! Your work is getting better in leaps and bounds!! :thumbup: :rock:

[Charon]

And Charon's my new desktop!

That is amazing, man. One of my favourite pics I have of Charon, I think. I think I'll make it my action pic on Crey, also.

[Quakester]

Why does he remind me of SCUD the disposable assassin?

[TroubleWolf]

Lawmaker, man, you are one talented mother... shut yo' mouth!

You've inspired me to start doodling here at work. I have done a form-drawing of Wolf leaping at the screen. I thought it was going well, and then I suddenly realized that it looked almost exactly like the logo for the Florida Panthers' hockey team, and so I quit. :P

Anyway, your artwork is awesome!

[The Widowed]

Do I ever, the biker santa right?
With the mohawk and the candy-cane-colored camouflage pants, yes. :D

[Stalking Shadow]

Holy bouncing Buddha! [cookie to who remembers who that's from]
That's wicked awesome!

[Lawmaker]

Why does he remind me of SCUD the disposable assassin?

SCUD rocks. :chuckle:

It's the eyes and the round head... I thought of that as well.... although i think i like Humor a little bit better... <no bias here> ;)

[AfterglowNoMore]

SCUD rocks. :chuckle:

It's the eyes and the round head... I thought of that as well.... although i think i like Humor a little bit better... <no bias here> ;)
None here either. And Chester Jenkins Aka Humor will never be a LEEEEEEEEROOOOOOY JENKINS!

[The Widowed]

Do I ever, the biker santa right?
Bad news: I deleted Clobberin'Claus some time ago, and I didn't feel like recreating him.

Good news: I have his replacement...the Carboydrate!

So...I don't suppose you can give me a reason why Carb wouldn't like Humor very much, can you? :D

I really should rez the Nemesis thread....

[Stalking Shadow]

:o
:lmao:

[Lawmaker]

Green please, with stars on the chest. And a background if possible. Just tell me what you want. Megamen? Crey photos? Cardies? Micros?

Here (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/Rehven/Portfolio/Kinetix01.png) you go Kin.

Sorry, I can't take any payments in the same way i can't take requests... :p It'd be sort of like saying i take bribery... then i'd be in the same situation as if i had taken a request! ...although with Veikira visiting the thread... :think: >:]

Troublewolf: Don't ever stop drawing... it's how anyone gets from crappy to really good. When i began drawing i started off with copying pictures out of the "Marvel Universe", then as i drew more i began do do things without needing to copy, and slowly over the years i began to understand and observe the human body better and better, til i am where i am today (actually i was where i was in the mid 90's... then now i am trying to work my way back to my late 90's skills LOL! ). I'm glad i inspired you a little, hopefully you can continue to be inspired and keep on drawing!

How about this. Humor is a corporate spokesman, so how about he did the commercial that convinced Carb to try the Atkins Diet?

[The Widowed]

How about this. Humor is a corporate spokesman, so how about he did the commercial that convinced Carb to try the Atkins Diet?
Sounds good to me! Either that or he did commercials for the experimental diet pill which turned out to be non-Atkins compatible.... :)

And so the blame is passed. As a result, the Carbohydrate is out to put Humor on a diet of pain! Muhuhuhahahaha! :D

[Rottweiler]

I actually considered Rottweiler, but was unsure of what he "really" looked like... LOL

Say no more.

[Lawmaker]

Wow, I've been sunk to page 2!! :p

(Guess that means I should post something)

Ok... quick disclaimer:

When i draw, i usually sketch out a little gesture drawing, then slowly build it out from there... from the pose and position I then decide who the sketch would look sort of like, and buildout the details from there... (perhaps thats why you see less Humongous sized heroes... cause i don't really think in terms of huge people).

Anyways, this last sketch was seemed very Rottweiler-like, so i started detailing the sketch. When i came here to check on the colors and details of Rottie's costume lo-and-behold!! NO wonder it looks like Rottie!!! He's in almost the same pose as the Timm of Rottie!! <sigh>

Well either way here is Rottweiler (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/Rehven/Portfolio/Rottie.png) .

(funny, between my 2 computers the colors are totally different... Oh well... me thinks i need to calibrate my monitors...)

[Tarkenchi]

Kick ass Lawmaker! Im sure rottie will love it!

[Istasi]

Holy crap dude, that rocks!

[Fantasmo]

I really love your style Lawmaker, awesome stuff!

Do you like yellow and red by chance?
I'm really hoping you will be inspired to do one of Fantasmo some day.
Here are some new screenies of him.

Keep up the great work!

[Lawmaker]

Man this forum moves fast!

anyways, I'll be headed out of town for a couple weeks, but I wanted to bump my thread up a little, so I thought I'd add a black and white piece that I have yet to color of Dynamo-man (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/Rehven/Artwork/Dynamo_BW.png).

I was partially done coloring it, but I couldn't find a good background for him, and the more I look at it, the more it looks like DM really has to go to the bathroom... <sigh> Sorry, DM... It was supposed to look all dramatic/heroic. :chuckle:

Oh well... More art in a couple weeks! Wish me safe travels to Hong Kong!

[Stan Walker]

hope you have safe travels to Hong Kong :)

was also wondering if ya had a soft spot for fang toothed vampire heroes that wear trenchcoats...well should anyway if the devs would ever listen to us!! anyways was hoping you might be willing to do one of Walker if ya had the time..

<RISE FROM YOUR PAGE 6 GRAVE!!!!>

:chuckle:

I figured I'd just ressurect my thread instead of making a new one... I don't draw enough to warrant a new thread I figure. ;)

Anyways, the Image Ink section of Guru has always been my favourite, as well as one of the reasons I can never stay away from Guru.com for long... I love to see the fantabulous artists here, and the art whores never ever seem to go away. As you may know, I am a dabbler in the arts (if you call dropping out of art school dabbling), and as much as I should practice my skills all the time, I tend to be more of an occasional artist... So this is my occasional month it seems.

Inspired by the infusion of new art recently, and the cool "how to series" from Poison and Veikira, I sat down once again and clicked PSP8 instead of a game... and viola! (http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=106874&GSub=3753)

OK. That's my artistic contribution for the day... hopefully I'll get another done in less than 4 months this time :lol:

[Charon]

Holy crap that is absolutely awesome!! These just keep getting better and better!!

[The Widowed]

Oh, don't feel too bad about long delays. I still kick myself for not making any progress on the CoH Tarot. Thought processes relating to art mostly stem from the right half of the brain...which also happens to be the half of the brain responsible for emotions. So it would appear that art and emotion are more closely connected than many people think. Simply put, you just have to be in the right mood.

We'll wait, Lawmaker. These things can't be rushed. :)

[Stan Walker]

looks great lawmaker!

[Megumiko]

You get so much movement in your drawings, and that's very nice.

I really liked the lady's costume on your gallery, forgot the name, but she had the M that worked into lines on her costume.

And the recent one you posted has some nice tones in the shading.

[Yellow Wolf]

Great style!
I would love one of Yellow Wolf if you ever get a chance!

[Lawmaker]

Whew... Ok So i drew this picture for my Hero Corps Profile the other day... and the more and more i looked at it, I kept saying to myself... "there's just something no right about this picture, but i just can't put my finger on what it is..."

Well, i finally discovered that what looked funny was her head was too big! My wife came in and said she looked like one of those "diva" dolls witht he huge heads! ... so I went back, deleted my color and shadows layers, and from the inks, I dismantled her body and enlarged it 10% bigger. :chuckle: Then I spent had to re-color it again!

Anyways, here's the pic: Maze (http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=113783&GSub=3735)

Funny thing is, the picture is for my Hero Corp Profile picture, and is nothing more than the head anyways!!! LOL. oh well.

[Stan Walker]

Looks awesome! :)

My entry into the CoH Comic Strip contest:

Ignorance is Bliss (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/Rehven/Portfolio/iisb01_final300.jpg)

and a bump to keep my thread within the month, so i don't have to search so hard to find it!! :chuckle: ...Guess i should post art more often... :p

[Tarkenchi]

Hahaha, I litterally LOL'd. Nice one Lawmaker. :D

[Masked Revenger]

Man, that is great stuff. I love your style, and would love one of any of my characters! (my sig is a link to their profiles), should you feel so inclinde, that is. :D

Chris

[Dynamo-Man]

Ok, first off, I'm back. And I have to say, I missed you all. :)

Secondly, Masked Revenger posted the pic you did of D-Man on another forum for me and I have to say, WOW! Freakin cool, mandinga! Thanks. :D

[Lawmaker]

It's that time of year again... not the Cadberry bunny, but the time i revive my thread from the depths of the archives... :chuckle:

Due to the recent Bombardment of pinups and commissioned art, I have been once again inspired to try my hand at making some art. I still suck at coloring, but at least this time she looks a tad more natural... Funny how things change from sketch to final product.... This is the first pic that i have done in a while where i really like the final more than my sketch! :lol:

Anyhooz. another (better) picture of my Dominator, Maze:

I'll have to make a version for my Hero Corp File (http://www.herocorps.com/vdb/?i=123) to replace the crappy one that's there now. :) Well... it's not crappy, but the more and more I look at it the more strange it looks... Dunno why... heh.

[Gollum_ARG]

Wowza! :yoy: That's very nice. I like those crisp lines a lot! nice subtle tones too.

Post more!

[Poison]

Rise from the grave, Lawmaker draw more!
Thanks a ton for that sweet pic, you even used my homemade design for the gloves and mask! That's so kickass, I've got it as my wallpaper now. :cool:

Heh, Ya i have to get off my butt and draw instead of play... or work... or sleep... All those things are over-rated anyways... :chuckle:

Glad you like it. I used the pics from your website (err... a few months ago) for references, henceforth the gloves and mask were based off your drawings.

It's surprising how many things just slip away... this forum seems to travel at warp speed sometimes, and before i know it i'm back on page 2 or 3...

[ThorsAssassin]

Gotta echo Poisons post here. Very sweet pic Law.

[Embers]

*stubbles into room* OMG where am I, another amazing artist. Swwetness, these look great. Love the style. I lopve that about this place, all the different styles, I am sure I speak for all of us who can't draw, we thank you artsy people a great deal for your pictures. Get the great work coming, going to make this a routine stop on the guru trip.

[Stan Walker]

an older doodle of Lawmakers reminded me of this satire...please its not real RP just thought i would be funny...then again I'm not quite right....Quoted mostly from the original Superman script))



238 INT. SK's SWO COMPOUND - DAY

The screen becomes blank again. SK turns.

SK
Check the viewing room, Intern...
(turns back)
Well, Walker? What do you think?
Interesting?



18/4/77 TM

238 CONTINUED

WALKER:
Your theory's quite impressive, SK.
But as for the rest - it's nothing but a sick
fantasy.

SK:
(thin smile)
Fantasy?...
(exploding)
History!! It's happened, Detective!

WALKER rises quickly, eyes widening, as SK wheels maniacally to another intern standing in the doorway to the viewing room.

SK
Where's that rocket now?

FEMALE INTERN
(glances back)
Passing the Grand Canyon, Mr. President. Going like a bat.
So's the other one.

WALKER
(in disbelief)
The other one! There's two of them?

SK
That's right, Walker. Double jeopardy! And even
you can't fly fast enough to stop both of them!
(sly grin)
While I, on the other hand would merely have to
press my detonating device and ...

WALKER leaps at SK, grabs him by the neck.

WALKER
Where is it, KAIN! Where's that detonator?

WALKER scans the room with his X-Ray vision, suddenly stops as he sees the lead
Trunk he's been sitting on.




238 CONTINUED

WALKER
You diseased maniac! Did you really think you
could hide it from me by encasing it in lead?

WALKER drops SK in a pile on the floor. He crosses quickly to the trunk, tosses the cushions aside.

WALKER
(ripping it open)
I'll mold this box into your prison bars, you...

WALKER stops suddenly, recoils, stunned, a dim green light ref1ecting of his face.

238A INSERT SHOT - TIE BOX

The glow form the tie box exumes, there are doznes of multicolored neckties.

238B BACK TO SCENE

WALKER is instantly immobilized, his strength waning, his knees getting wobbly.

WALKER
That ties... I can-t... my strength..

SK advances, bursting with glee.

SK
They are neckties Walker! A little souvenir from
your old insurace selling days! You see I've spared no expense
in making you feel right at home here!

SK pulls a tie out of the box and dangles it in front of him. WALKER
desperately tries to raise his arm to shield himself from the rays.

WALKER
Away... please... take it...


18/4/77 TM

238B CONTINUED

SK loops the tie around WALKER'S neck, pulls the staggering, helpless Man of Steel after him like a dog on a leash.

SK
You were great in your day, Stan Walker. But
When the time came to cash in your chips, Sebastion Kain was just naturally your banker! Mind...

SK stops, puts his two litte fingers on each of WALKER'S shoulders, pushes him down to his knees.

SK
...over muscle ...
