Yes, for three easy payments of only $29.95, you can own the genuine Powerpuff Teens collector's plate! Okay, no you can't. Seriously, this was an entry for a contest that comic artist Great LP held. He provided the linework of the Powerpuff Teens, and I, along with many other artists, colored them. Since there were so many cool entries, I had to find a way to stand out of the crowd, so I came up with the plate idea. To keep the spirit of the Powerpuff Girls, I placed their trademark heads in the background, abstractly peeking out from the rim of the plate.
This self portrait sort of degraded with the more Smirnoffs I slammed down.
The strangest thing you'll find here is a pink squirrel with stripes. Maybe these two are on a fantastic journey together and are taking a break to listen to the babbling brook. Despite its cuteness, a controversy started because, regardless of the work's distinct pencil strokes, judges from a 2005 art show mistook it for a touched-up photograph; thus, it was disqualified. Three photo references were used to compose the concept, which explains the pinpoint lighting and detail that is more vague in imaginary images. Actually, most local artists I know snap pictures and paint from just those. Some even use projectors *gasp!*
A cyborg lumberjack short circuits and starts taking out his frustrations in the dryad forest. Oh, the humanity er, botany!
From the world of Yu-Gi-Oh, it's Dark Magician Girl drawn in my own non-manga style. This scene is the result of DMG smacking a face-down Sangan, thus sending it to the Graveyard. As hard as she tries to reel its spirit back with her magic, that resulting Cyber Jar is inevitable. To some people, that actually makes sense!
Bluette dusted off her classic vampire costume, and this time she's joined by her friends for a night of friendly trick-or-treating and good old-fashioned throwing eggs at people.
