[Fan Art] Cowabunga Carl's Art

*Cowabunga Carl* · 10-11-2011, 05:25 PM

I figured as I've started actually doing more art I'd make a thread to post it in instead of making a bunch of different threads. So here is a sample of a project I'm working on.

It is a small part of what I'm calling Leo's lament. Seeing it as a .jpg now I realize I need to lighten the color of skin tone up now.

That head kinda reminds me of the 3D characters models from the 2k3 Konami video games!

Here it is lighter

This is supposed to be Leo? I like it. You should do variant ones, too. One with the blue mask, and both masks exposing the eyeballs. Well done.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 10-11-2011, 10:27 PM

I wanted to do my take on Leo kind of a moment where he shows a sliver of weakness.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 12-18-2011, 02:23 PM

So I did this sketch the other day and used colored pencils to color it. Silver is a character that I think suffered do to bad writing on TNM and thought could use an updated look/feel. I figured he would be more of a Kingpin type character and instead of being a Yeti, which never made any since to me, would be a mutated Gorilla.

I always thought he was supposed to be a Silverback Gorilla.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 12-18-2011, 03:06 PM

Nope he was a "Yeti" the last of his kind. It never made since to my why he would come to New York, nor how he got there, and then become a generic Italian thug.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 12-18-2011, 03:22 PM

So with these guys maybe showing up again I thought I'd do a drawing of them. Here is my take. He is a little to thin though I noticed. Also my drawing skills are still lacking a little. But over all I'm happy with him.

Yeah seriously????????????

Oh well still like the rock steady

*Cowabunga Carl* · 12-20-2011, 01:45 PM

Thanks. I'm trying to improve my art skills but it's going to be a long road. Old Hob is probably my next sketch. I really like his design so far so not sure what I'll do. Probably like Rocksteady were it is just subtle changes.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 01-12-2012, 03:01 PM

I just started drawing today and this is what I came up with. I decided to scan it in before I colored it. I normally use color pencils on this stuff but I might give this a try in Photo Shop or Illustrator.

When I started doodling it I started thinking what I would like Mondo Gecko to look like. So that's what this is, my take on that character.

Ulisses31 · 01-12-2012, 03:24 PM

Interesting stile, why don´t you make something for next redesign? It will be Krang

*Cowabunga Carl* · 01-12-2012, 03:32 PM

That's actually what I sat down with the idea to doodle. Didn't know I'd end up drawing Mondo, or at least what I thought would turn into my take on the character. Once I knew it would be a lizard I knew it would be Mondo. I thought he would look more modern skater.

Ulisses31 · 01-12-2012, 04:13 PM

Jean Giraud, as Moebius sometimes also uses a work-flow similar to that with a pen and he start to draw without thinking were he will end...

*Cowabunga Carl* · 01-12-2012, 10:47 PM

This is Julius, a mutant Orangoutang that works for Silver. Just started drawing again and this is what I came up with. The way I see it is Silver was an exotic pet of some crime lord and was used to kill his masters enemies. Somehow he came into contact with mutagen and turned on his master. He started running the crime ring. Wanting others like himself around him he stoled other great apes and mutated them too. Julius was one of the first. He became Silver's most trusted friend and advisor, having been a zoo ape observing humans he knows the most about how they act and to blend in.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 01-13-2012, 12:36 PM

I was going to hold on to this tell the Krang redesign challenge but I thought I'd post it now. I might submit it or do another drawing for the contest. Have a couple ideas for the contest.

Seeing as Krang was based off of the Utroms I thought I'd combined both of the ideas. I think it came out pretty good. Definitely needs some color though.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 01-20-2012, 01:14 PM

Other then being a Bald Eagle I'm not sure what his backstory is. I'm thinking military background of some sort. But wanted to share it anyway. I mean I know I'm that great of artist but I'm enjoying doing these.
