Sketch7: Iron Funkee

Whasssssssssup?!

An early sketch posting today. It is my younger bro's birthday today, so there is a little celebrating to do later! If anyone wishes to send him a completely random Happy Birthday wish, here is his email: keptus@hotmail.com . It is after all APRIL FOOLS DAY, and I think it would be rather funny if his inbox had a bunch of Happy Birthday messages from random folk who he has never met!! hahaha

(I'll tell you what... I will take a drawng request from the author of the most creative message he gets, and do one of these full colour marker head-shot things for ya....deal?)

Todays sketch is a collection of random warm-ups, head doodles and random fun-stuff.

The top is of course a headshot of IRON MAN. Iron man has a special place for me, as it was the first comic book title I ever decided to collect. It wasn't a heavily pondered desicion. One friend collected Spider-man and another collected X-men, so I thought Iron Man would be cool!! I really got into it. I bought back issues and everything. My favourites were the ones drawn by John Romita JR. He did a kick ass Iron man. In my opinion, no one really did a very cool version of him until Keron Grant came along... His version was truely awesome, but unfortunately many an Iron man fan hated it!! Idiots.... Thats all I can say for them! >

So anyway, my first attmept at Iron man. Based on the John Romita Jr. version.

The other most note worthy character here is Monkey Magic. A lot of Aussies and I think many people from UK really got into this show. You just gotta see it to get it and I don't know if it would have the same impact on an adult as it did when we were kids... But it was a lot of fun, and there is a soft spot for Monkey in my artistic heart! I would love to do a full blown piece with the characters from Monkey Magic one day, and I will!

Sprout man was an on the spot invention....Simple sketchdoodle used to fill space

Now send an email to my brother!!
