Linguini

Screenhog — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 04:08:43 +0000

I’ll give you three guesses what movie I watched last night:

I started with Linguini, and had even put the chef’s hat on him before I decided that Remy should really be in there, too, so I erased the hat and drew the rat on his head. Skinner was an afterthought, and I really don’t like how his face turned out, but I like the rest of the drawing. I may have to try Linguini a few more times, he’s such a thin, gangly character with an oversized nose…

Come to think of it, so is Ilsoap. Hmmmm… is there a pattern here?

Movies + Characters

Screenhog — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 22:53:47 +0000

How well do you know Disney/Pixar movies? The jumbles of letters below each contain the name of a movie made by Disney or Pixar, along with one of the characters, but the words are mixed together. For instance, if the clue was LAITTLREMERIMEAIDL, the answer would be “Little Mermaid” and “Ariel” (I put the letters of “Ariel” in bold so that it would be easier to see).

Can you figure out the other movies and characters?

For The Birds – Unfinished

Screenhog — Sun, 03 May 2009 02:52:14 +0000

Sometimes, I bite off a little more than I can chew.

Have you ever seen “For The Birds”? It’s a hilarious Pixar short film that you owe yourself to see if you’ve never done so. Well, today, I had the grand idea of making fan art of this short.

So, I first make myself a sketch:

So far, so good. I then begin to color in the big bird and one of the small birds:

It’s at this point when I start asking myself “How am I going to do these feathers”? And do I have an answer for myself? No. I do not. The only way I can think of to do the feathers in Photoshop would be to actually draw every feather on every little bird, and I’m going to be honest with you… that would take a very long time. Hair and feathers are difficult and time consuming to create in any art form, and I didn’t have that kind of time on my hands tonight.

So, you’re stuck with unfinished art to look at. For some, this may be a fascinating insight into the behind-the-scenes of my art creation process. For others, you’ll look at it for 5 seconds and say “Screenhog’s lazy!”.

Yes. Yes I am.
