The Atomic Knights
When I read that Murphy Anderson died I first thought of this series. I don't know why. But his name was tied in my mind to these characters. No where mentioned in all the RIP notes on his death.
And I couldn't remember the actual name of the characters. Took me some effort to google it. Several false paths. One thing I didn't remember until I found this page- They rode on giant Dalmatian dogs!
There were only 15 stories. I bet I read at least half of them.

Faux oil beginning
fun because coming over the top of the roughest doodle works to advantage if you're after that Ashley Wood type of energy.

Give me better
Thinking about my web comic design.
Main recurring title wording would be
that's probably best 'tales for'
Main recurring title wording would be
UNCLE GOGGLE"S TALES BEST READ WITH...
PITILESS EYES
Maybe not 'best read'. Maybe just 'read.'
UNCLE GOGGLE"S TALES READ WITH...
PITILESS EYES

PITILESS EYES
PITILESS EYES
Uncle Goggle's tales of horror

Monkeying with Frazetta and Assorted Lessons
Done as a lark. Saw the ape painting when I followed Ellis's link to "The Autumn People," thought he'd make a good case study for my class on caricaturing animals...had to add the girl to make it more Frazetta-y, but hopefully in a slightly subversive way. I shared it on the Frazetta Fan Page group on Facebook and thought I might get flamed...but people liked it.
Another example fer the young'ns on how to take a pic and turn it into an anatomy study:
Trying to do some lessons on cartoony animal design...but it's hard to shift gears from the realistic stuff!

Power=Technopathy / Theme=Aquatic / Item=Saw
My contribution to Instant Sidekicks. An event at Speeding Bullet Comics in Norman, OK.
The thrill is making something from randomness.
Might be fun to do a 24 hour comic from something like this.
Text from my Tumblr Post
“While working with a laser saw that demolishes material as it spins, Lab Assistant, Rodney Vapid, blunders into its path and disintegrates. Working feverishly, Dr Blend has Vapor 90 percent reconstituted when the machine explodes, mangling the Dr’s body but giving him Technopathic powers. Vapor and Blend with the artificially intelligent, talking, Sunbeam roadster, fight for right and avenge the wronged.”
Below-Doodles before I had an idea. I was going to make a robot with an octopus for a head.
Adding tone. I'll try and finish this tomorrow. The plan is to make prints and sell them at OAFCon.
now you can animate from this to the rough. See that I didn't change much. I was afraid to change it. Everyone liked the first pass so much.
Here it is enormous. As a file I'm giving to the printer

When I post it as in Tumble for Inktober it will be line and wash only.
Kyle of Kyle's brushes has a youtube channel where he was showing off a brush that he claimed would rival the best in Manga Studio. I'm sure I already had it, I've bought every thing he offers. But I didn't want to sample each brush and still not be sure I was using the 'ultimate.'
I wrote him an email reply to one of his solicitation emails- 5 minutes later he told me the name of the brush.
CLEAN AS A WHISTLE is the name.
The art here is just bad doodling. But the line and how it comes out is pure joy.
I'll do something worthwhile with it soon.
