I inked it and it looked like turtle crap, so I laid sloppy colors over a lo-res copy of the pencils because that it all I have left.

I actually am starting to like the way this looks.

The drawing is crap, but I kind of like the design. Looks like something a person might actually wear whilst talking to dolphins.

Alternate title- "Cone of Chtulhu" But for that to work it would need wings.

Question- would you buy a shirt with this on it?

An attempt at digital painting. I know that this is supposed to be better when done with a tablet (which I don't own), but I doubt I would have done much better. I am just not so good at the whole 'painterly' art thing. I am too much of a cartoonist. If I were a painter I would have made every strand of hair as opposed to just filling in black.

Originally uploaded by haloofbees

About five years ago there was a website called "Strip Creator". Well, it's still there, actually. It allowed you to make a comic by pasting other people's drawings and adding your own word balloons. It was fun to play with, but as you may guess the offerings were completely juvenile with crude toilet humor and lots of "1337 SP33K". Not to be outdone I threw together a dozen or so strips and titled them Cretaceous Vaudville. Most of them were extremely unfunny, but a couple make me chuckle still. My attempt was to build a fugue of profanity and vulgarity. I think it was somewhat successful in that regard.

Drawn by Jack Kirby and inked by me for the "Re-inking Thor" group here on Flickr.

I don't know if I was able to bring anything new to the table with my stab at it, but it was fun nonetheless.

So, does the gag work? Is it good for a Nick Mag type of magazine? I'm trying to build a portfolio of kid-friendly illustration and cartoons.

Should I leave the colors flat or add shading?
