Artifix Noctem 5 – Toon Remix

Link by Matthew Rainwater

The concept of “Toon Remix” is to take any toon or character and either draw it in your own style or remix it somehow… as an example my brother, James Jessen, took Boba Fett and put a western twist on him.  Darren Hanks, who had Sponge Bob Square Pants, remixed him as Sponge Bob “Round” Pants.  When the members arrived they got a random number, then starting with 1, that person got to choose from a list of characters. Chris Manuel got #1 and he chose Fred Flintstone; I was gunning for Captain Crunch, but Thom Trahan picked him up.  Thom did a great job with the Capt’n and we ended up getting a good laugh from his quote, “I didn’t want to draw the feet so I drew the earth instead.”…  because, to Thom, the earth is so much easier to draw than feet…. and more colorful!  Below is the gallery from last nights session – enjoy! and thanks for reading.

Artifix Noctem 4 – Character Roulette

I got Viking + Peg Leg + Mug of Coffee

I really enjoyed this sketch night and loved the randomness that came with it.  We watched Black Dynamite while we drew… I highly recommend it. Anyways we had some new faces and returning members.  Jason Hardesty, Chris Manuel and Eric Manuel were the newest additions.  Chris and I ended up working on our drawings till 12:00am… which is what I expect a real sketch night to end up as.  See the details of the subject below… thanks for reading.

Character Roulette – You’ll randomly get your subject with various accessories. Example: Cowboy with a Katana Blade smoking a cigar. Or, a Monster with a wand and ballerina shoes. Can be done on any size medium.
