E Pluribus Abdominus

Envelope 1 Take 2

Envelope 2b Envelope 3

Last week I was commissioned to create some envelopes for a speech introducing a play. The speech was going to uncover the truth that Lincoln did not write the Gettysburg address on an envelope on the way to Gettysburg. My job was to show what he was really doing in that train car.

The first envelope shows that he had a few things on his to do list. The second one gives you a look into Lincoln’s hopes about his legacy and the final shows you that he was working on a concept for his gaming avatar. I know you’ve all seen the Battle President illustration in a previous incarnation, but I hope that it’s new context will help you enjoy it again.

Don’t Bite!

That was uncalled for.

That was uncalled for.

Just a friendly reminder, don’t bite.  It’s not nice.

Teufel Huhn

I know why I'm going to cross the road!

I know why I’m going to cross the road!

After all the suspense we finally get to see (part of) what is threatening Robo and Sparrow- Die Teufel Huhn!

I had fun making this. I forced myself to make the background with all digital tools, and I used a background from the Fictory Animated Atomic Robo Last Station.

I’m not fully satisfied with it, but I worked hard and I think it works partly.

I hope you like it.

Uhura

Uhura Pencil Doodlehoose One 001

This is a sketch I did while watching an episode of the original Star Trek. I gave Uhura the blaster and I think she should have had one more often.

Took a swipe at coloring it.

Sparrow

Why do I ever follow you Robo?

Why do I ever follow you Robo?

I’m still working on the overall Atomic Robo composition. I have the flatting all done, but none of the background yet. So here’s another hint of what’s to come. This Lady is called the Sparrow.

Pinch Hitting by Doodlehoose Eh

Ba na na!

Ba na na!

I wanted to share this with you last week, but the week got away from me. It’s from a brand new contributor I have dubbed Doodlehoose Eh because she’s Canadian.

My wife created this as a gift for my cousin for hosting our NY Comic Con vacation. As you can see my cousin loves cowboys and minions.

I am also working on my own contribution, but didn’t finish the whole thing so you will have to wait to see what Atomic Robo is looking at

That might just be a problem

Continuing the Mashups- Iron Batman Beyond

Gotham Belongs to Me

Gotham Belongs to Me

Okay this week is more Photoshop mashing up Batman with another hero. What if Batman had a suit like Tony Stark. This doesn’t really count as a mash up because Batman Beyond does use cool(er) suit like Iron Man, but since my source material was pictures of Batman and Iron Man it is technically a mash up. None of this was drawn except the pointy ears.

This is a little later than normal because I just got back from a trip to the New York City Comic Con and had other quick things to do before I could hop on the computer. Look for more posts this week about fun things from Comic Con. It was a great time with bothDoodlehooses in attendance as well as a Canadian Doodlehoose!

Ghost Bat

Joker you are guilty

Joker you are guilty

This week’s post is a what if. What if Bruce Wayne had made the same deal that turned ghost rider into a flaming ball of vengeance? So here’s my version of Batman with the powers of Ghost Rider. To anyone feeling up to the challenge I would like to see the Batmobile ghosted out as well (I may do that, but ran out of umph).

I drew Batman and a skull for a teacher sample and then decided to put them together in Photoshop. I made the fire effect as well so the only thing that I grabbed from the internet was the bat symbol which I fired up (and the reference for Michael Keaton Batman and a skull).
