Cookie Minstrel Love Songs about Cookies

Random sketch of the day.

I can only assume that, after a rousing rendition of “C is for Cookie, That’s Good Enough for Me”, he promptly devoured his lute, with pieces flying everywhere.

Dragons on a Campout

So, I had this weird idea, and I just had to draw it… but now I need your opinion. Should I turn it into a Jellyfish in Armour comic?

Bullet Mario – Sketch and Song

Screenhog — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 18:40:55 +0000

One day, I decided to come up with a completely new powerup for the Mario Bros. universe… something that hadn’t been done before, but would fit in their universe without duplicating a powerup that Mario had previously been able to get. Thus, Bullet Mario was born!

Imagine, if you will, a wide open level of Super Mario Galaxy in which Bullet Bills are flying everywhere, and the only way to get to your destination is to fly with them as a bullet. But beware, because hitting a wall will destroy a Bullet Bill, and as Bullet Mario, if you hit a wall, it will destroy you too.

I figured that would be a cool idea for a level, so I made a song for it entitled “Billions of Bullet Bills”. You’ll find it at the Music Player, song number 20.

I’m Not Dead!

Hi there! Yeah, I know that I’ve been neglecting this site some, but it’s for a good cause! I’ve been working on bigger things!

I can’t share much about them now, but they include music composing, more work on that Wii game idea I had, and card game codenamed “Jacks Out The Window”.

However, it’d be pretty lame for me to end my first post in over two months like that, so here’s something new for you. A fan named Zach e-mailed the idea that Screenhog should meet Porky Pig, so here it is:

Duchess

Screenhog — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:44:36 +0000

I was at a family gathering last night, and there was a dog there. The dog’s name was Duchess, and she looked like this:

Yeah, she was one of those Ewok-faced dogs, who’s breed I can’t remember the name of. Despite the fact that I’d expect a dog named “Duchess” to most likely be pretty snappy and mean, she was quite friendly.

It was rare that I was able to draw a dog while they were awake. Usually, when I’m trying to draw a dog from real life, they move around too much from place to place to get a good drawing, unless they’re sleeping. I have quite a few drawings of sleeping dogs, and it’s nice to have an awake one as a model for a change.

TMNT

People should learn something new every day. Today, I learned that if the show had instead been called “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turkeys”, no one would have watched it.

Blob Monster

Screenhog — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 03:03:22 +0000

A few months ago, I said to myself that I should design a blob monster of some kind. Blob monsters always looked kinda fun to animate, so today, I finally got around to designing one. The first few drawing attempts (top row) were pretty dismal, but I eventually found a design I liked.

He’s a little rough around the edges, but I like how he could go from being “totally disgusting” to “happy and only partially disgusting”. I hope I remember to animate him someday.

Octopus on a Swing Set

The question isn’t “Why do a quick sketch of an octopus on a swing set?”

The question is “Why NOT do a quick sketch of an octopus on a swing set?”

Yoda

Screenhog — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 02:56:04 +0000

I was getting ready for bed last night, and I was struck with the idea that I should do a quick drawing of Yoda freehand. Do these kinds of thoughts ever happen to you?

Anyway, I got out a nifty variable-width inking pen I have, and just started drawing from memory. In about 7 minutes, this was the result:

Meh. He looked like half-Yoda, with a mixture of a gremlin and Tweeg thrown in. Not great… so today, I actually found pictures of Yoda and started again. 12 minutes later, I had this:

Better. It was still freehand with ink, which means that once you’ve drawn a line, you’re stuck with it, so I’m pretty happy with this. Light sabers never look right without color, though.
