A few brain doodles... :P

[Pikachu2007]

Thanks everyone for the comments. :)
Now for a treat for y'all looking at this thread: new doodles!

"Bathtime for Eli"

It's bath day for Bear and Eli. After Bear finishes hers, it's time for Eli's. One small problem: Eli hates taking baths and tries to get out of taking it. Bear, however, tries to get him to take the bath, but fails. Will Eli ever get clean?

More Siamese cats with Ralphie. Still haven't thought of a name for the cat yet...

This is probably what SpongeBob would look like if I was working for Nickelodeon right now.

This one is supposed to be me as a cartoon. ^_^

Much more to come next time! ;)

 

[dead jester]

You should make a comic or a cartoon!!!Awsome work.

 

[poopnoodle]

Goodness, your work is so awesome. Bear and Eli are too adorable, they're probably my favorites so far.
I'd give you criticism, but this kind of art has no boundaries or standards in my mind.

I think the cat looks like a Lionel. :D

 

[Pikachu2007]

I think the cat looks like a Lionel. :D

I actually like that name! Lionel it is. ^_^

Again, thank you everyone for comments. I appreciate all of the nice things everyone says, but now and then a critique won't hurt. All it can do for any artist is to improve his/her work. :)

That said, I fund some old drawings for a Benny squirrel story I had in mind.

"Smart-Alec-Kazam!"

Benny works at a "Guess-Your-Weight" stand at a carnival. He's not getting a lot of business, so when he sees an ad for a rabbit assistant to a much more popular magician, he takes full advantage of it! When he gets the job, Benny pretty much heckles the hapless magician until his "ears" fall off. Then the prognosticator gets even with the maniacal rodent!

Benny: Benny has a usually happy, up-beat persona. He may be a wee bit nuts, but he has brains and uses them to an advantage. Benny has lots of energy and heckles other people if there's a good reason for it or just for fun. Either way, Benny's one of the funnest characters I ever made and he'll be loads of fun to animate in the future.

:)

 

[krazedkat]

I love them! They're really good. I like the elephant a lot.

 

[The Jewel of Life]

Wow, all of these are very cute! I especially liked the one of Benny right after his "ears" fell off. Nice!

As for criticism, I really don't think I have anything that I could say... these are all so good! They could use a little color though...

 

[Pikachu2007]

Thanks for the comments, guys!

@Comet: I'd love to give you colored pics, but it's kind of hard since I'm having trouble coming up with colors for some characters, like Benny. I'm not sure whether to make him brown, gray, or red-orange or whatever. But I'll make a colored doodle asap. ^_^

Anyway, here are some new stories for y'all. (Two of them would be good for Halloween)

"Dr. Jerkyll and Mr. Ralph"

In this story, Lionel (the Siamese cat) is chasing Ralph in an apartment-like complex. Ralph makes his way inside a door that says "Dr. Jekyll" and tries to hide inside a bottle that says "Hyde Formula". This turns him into a Godzilla-like monster and pretty much scares Lionel out of his fur. Just when things turn out good for Ralph, he changes back to normal and the chase goes on. Just as the cat catches the mouse, Ralphie turns back into the monster. In the end we fin ut that Lionel was just dreaming and freaks out again when he sees Ralph in his normal form.

"One Flew Over the Monkey's Nest
"
An acorn falls hits Benny's head hard enough to give him amnesia. This prompts him to actually start acting nice towards his nemesis, Gordon the monkey. Gordo likes the new squirrel at first, but when Benny starts popping up in random places in the monkey's house he finds Benny more annoying than before and pretty much loses his mind. This makes Gordo want to turn Benny back to normal, whatever it takes.

"Eli's New Pet"

After Bear and Eli's "mother", Suzy, tells them about her getting a new puppy, Eli becomes disheartened because now he wants a pet of his very own. Felling sorry for him, Bear suggests they go to the pet store to look. They argue about whether to get a kitten or a puppy. When no one was looking, all the animals escape and it's up to Bear and Eli to get them back to the store. In the end, Bear surprises Eli with a brand new puppy.

You have some really adorable characters here with a wide spectrum of comical and heartwarming emotions. Perhaps you should try drawing bigger and on unlined paper. Cleaning up your lineart would be nice too, either through inking or practicing a light touch to initial sketches and gradually building your final up.

I'd really like to see some coloured pieces too. Keep it up!

 

[Pikachu2007]

Thanks for the advice Foxtrot! I'll be sure to do that next time. ;)

That said here are two new drawings I forgot to post earlier. Just pencil and paper for now. I'll be sure to get colored ones next time! Promise! :)

These are drawings of Lionel, Ralph, Benny, and an idea I had for a slap-happy ghost named Spooky Cookie, the cartoon ghost of Harry Carray.

Ralph doodles. I love the one on the bottom-right corner the most. ^_^

 

[Lily!]

I really, really love it when artists put expression into their artwork, it gives it a lively personality and a style that only the artist possesses. That's what I really love about cartoon art/styles, they are loose and you can do alot with them, and yours has such a pristine, expressive quality to it.
I adore what you've posted up here so far, keep on drawing; you have a lot of potential!​

 

[Pikachu2007]

Thanks for your thoughtful critique, Lily! It's been greatly appreciated. ^_^

Sorry about not posting anything in a while. College has got me busy! XD
Anyway, here are some brand-spankin' new drawings for you guys! I just got colored pencils today, so I'll recolor a few and re-post them here.

Spoiler:

Here are the puppets of comedian and ventriloquist, Jeff Dunham, with a caricature of Dunham himself.

In honor of thier return to Cartoon Network, here's the Looney Tunes gang

Spoiler:

Remember Fred and Lenny from earlier? Here's some new drawings of them with a new aspect: instead of being bums, now they're animal catchers who' jobs are to catch rare and elusive animals for the zoo-going children of the world. However, they fail with each attempt to catch their animal.

Ralph with some French taunting meerkats and a very old character of mine, Orville the pigeon.

Dolphins.

Lemurs.

Ralph and Gordon with a special guest appearance by Mickey Mouse! :O

A promo image for my show, "A Day at the Zoo". It's a variety show that features the adventures of Ralph, Benny, Bear & Eli, and all your favorites in a full hour show featuring several seven-minute long short cartoons of different characters. I even found a nice theme song for the show, so I'll post the music with this image later. :D

Again, comments and critiques are much appreciated here. Thank you. :)

 

[chanchimi]

Your art is amazing! I love your cartoon style a lot. The different expressions and poses you draw for your characters a great!!! :D

Amazing drawings!

 

[System!]

I've only watched Jeff Dunham once, but it was pretty fun to watch. I love your Achmed. SHUT UP! I KILL YOU! Man, they're all awesome in your style.

And yay, you drew the Looney Tunes! Gotta love the classics!

I love how you base your style on the older slapstick cartoons. Those were the days, indeed.

And, yes, it would be fun to see all your drawings in color.

 

[Pikachu2007]

Thanks very much for your thoughts, folks.

Oh yeah! I mentioned a possible theme song for my show. Here it is:


The song is "Animal Magic" by Laurie Johnson. Also called "Las Vegas".
So, what do you guys think? Good song or no?

 

[Moskau]

I adore your art style, it's so cute and cartoony! I adore it, it looks very professional, and I love how classic these pics look.

Lovely work! I would love to see more. :)

 

[Pikachu2007]

Thanks, Moskau. :)

Here are three new drawings and one nice surprise!

Spoiler:

"Treading on Hot Water"

Fred and Lenny go to the Amazon to catch a basilisk, a type of lizard famous for running on water. Unlike all of the other animals they try to catch, this one WANTS to be with the two animal collectors. Why?

It turns out that the basilisk they catch is a female and winds up having a crush on Fred. She even goes out of her way to hug, kiss, or dance with him even if he can't walk on water. Will her love last? Or will the dwarf crocodile have to break the ice?

Meet Rocky, a raccoon who plays as another one of Benny's sneaky and deceiving rivals. Unlike Gordon, who loses his temper quite a bit, Rocky is more composed, almost as smooth as a movie gangster almost. Unlike Gordon, Rocky is not very stubborn. He also seems to underestimate Benny's intelligence a lot with a very cocky attitude, even if Benny kicks his butt with his energetic antics.

Rocky is actually based on the song, "Rocky Raccoon", by the Beatles. To add to the joke, he talks in a Liverpool accent like John Lennon or Ringo Starr.

The promo image from before. Now in glorious COLOR! :D

Trust me, there's much more to come! :D

 

[poopnoodle]

Oh the colors, how lively :3 I love how you give your characters fitting personalities and little stories to go with them, very creative. I'm excited to see what you have in store for the holidays!

 

[The Jewel of Life]

Sorry I've been gone, I was ignoring the art gallery for some reason. Anyways, I absolutely adore all of your new drawings, and it was cool to see all of your characters in color. Yippe!
Also, I think that the song you picked out makes a perfect match. Nice find!

 

[Pikachu2007]

Thanks comet and poopnoodle. :)

In news: I made a brand-new blog for posting drawings! Visit it here.

I forgot to mention it on the first post, but if I can, I can make videos with some theme music for each individual cartoon story I post. This is gonna be fun! :D

 

[sanny the hedgehog]

wow dude, you should just start making your own cartoons! i mean you have pretty much all of the wacky characters, now you just need to make the animations and BOOM!
you have one very kick @$$ cartoon.
and yeah great job!
