My child hood idol "Tarzan" in zombie format.

Zombear

Zombie version of my favorite teddy bear. Best things about him were the wonky eyes that point outward like a pug.

My Little Zombie.

I love ponies.

Fred, tha Zobie Bear...

My teddy bear, Fred.

I used him as an actor in home videos.

They were pretty violent, so if you saw him today, he wouldn't look much different from this...so he makes a good zombie!

Teenage Zombie Ninja Turtle

"CowabrrrraaAAAAaaaaaaiiiiiiinnnssssss..."
TMNT were my life in elementary school.

Zombie He-Man

He-Man was my first toy-based obsession as a kid, and the idea of him dining on Skeletor was too charming to resist.

Zombie Harvey

I still have this stuffed horse, his name is Harvey, and with some of the tears he has he might as well be a zombie. This was a nice stress relief and fun as I've been on a bit of an art block, at least in terms of personal art. So behold! Harvey has risen!

(P.S. I'm not much of a background artist in case you couldn't tell. ^_^)

Dan's Water-filled House Dream

When I was younger, I used to have a recurring dream where my house would fill up with water, almost to the ceiling. It didn't really freak me out, or anything. I just remember how fun it was to swim around my house!

A tiring, frustrating dream.

But really, I'm with Mike...Robotech was tha BOMB!

Yeah, I made this a while back at the old office. But I didn't wanna cheat on the Cartoon theme and use old art! That'd be no fun at all, right?

Not easy to draw straight-ahead with a pen, I like a challenge! Enjoy.

Balltleoid-mode!

Dan's Fave Cartoons

Took me long enough, eh?

Since cartoons had a MAJOR impact on me as an artist, I couldn't pick just ONE! So I went as far back as I could and busted 'em all out! I'd name em all, but I think I've spent enough time on this one as it is...

SO I FINALLY HAD A DREAM

Yes, I finally remembered a dream!

And I'm barely in it.

Scenery from a Dream

Had this dream a long time ago with a beautiful waterfall.

In My Dreams

We rock!

Woo hoo art team!  Sorry, so corny...

Super Friends

When I was growing up we only had 3 channels so I only got cartoons on Saturday morning. The earliest one I can remember being a favorite was "The Super Friends". I remember one episode in particular where Mxyzptlk sent the Super Friends to Oz. Aquaman became the Scarecrow, Superman turned into the Tin Woodsman and Wonder Woman was the Cowardly Lion. You can watch it here.

Linus På Linjen

Super great Italian (I think) cartoon that ran on TV when I was a kid.

A lesson in simplicity, design (I butchered the beautiful thick-and-thin line here, but hey, it's a "sketch", right, hehe) and awesome comedic timing.

The Swedish title means "Linus on the line", but I think the original is called "La Linia".

Check out one short and funny episode here:

Sailor Moon!!

My favorite character was Sailor Mercury... probably because she was blue, haha. And I saw the Hong Kong released version which was also several seasons ahead of the US releases. (I was quite disappointed when we moved here and I saw that they were only on the first season when I had been watching up until 4th/5th season, yay chinatown pirated versions!)

Eventually the series became too long/complicated for me to follow... (holy crap 200 episodes?!)

Anywho, here's a quick sketch of Sailor Mercury! Done on my tablet so straight lines are squiggly... I also haven't drawn people in a while so excuse any anatomy flaws ^_^

I have no idea why I made her so busty since in the series she's only like 14 or something... so a grown-up version? lol.

Robotech!

Coming off of Transformers and G.I.Joe- where all the pilots were able to safely eject just before their vehicles exploded- a show where two main characters die for real was a revelation. Still my favorite mech designs all these years later. Plus I was somehow sucked into the Rick/MinMei/Lisa love triangle before I thought kissing was anything other than gross. Max and Miriam, the SDF-1 punching a hole through a Zentradi battleship, protoculture- whatever the hell that was, and hundreds and hundreds of missile trails. I missed it so much when it went off the air and was estatic to finally be able to own it on DVD when it came out a few years back.

Mazinger Z

Clear cut "Mazinger versus evil giant robot of the week" show. Even though it was one of my favorites, at one point it did feel like the series was never going to end. Thanks to Wiki, now I know it's 92 episodes long (!).

Show's even featured a half guy half girl enemy. Revolutionary in many ways.
Though the design can't be less generic, it's just a jester suit with a split face:



Another highlight is that the female robot fires missiles from a certain body part. That soon became a highly discussed feature among the kids.

And here's the locally infamous Taiwan edition theme, in case you didn't grow up there.

Tide Me Over

The temptations are too much...

Ice Cream Mugger

I was minding my own business eating my ice cream when Dan came along...
