Aquaman Redesigns

Teemu — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 19:41:00 +0000

I did a couple of Aquaman redesigns for the Aquaman: Sea Change contest at Project: Rooftop. Surprisingly (hah!) I didn’t win but I did get an honorable mention. Maybe you can guess which one of my entries was honorable enough to be mentioned…

I know next to nothing about Aquaman, but I don’t imagine him being happy about oil and shit being poured into the seas at current rate. Bombs not petrol!

Unsexy batman

What do you think Batman is compensating with all those fancy gadgets?

His dead parents, duh!

Always wonderful Kate Beaton posted some “Adventures of Sexy Batman” which reminded me to post this. So there you have it.

Drinking and Drawing

Teemu — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 13:39:00 +0000

Here are some doodles that I’ve done over a few nights of drinking and drawing. Pretty much all typical motifs for those nights are represented: Superheroes, rockers, barbarians, women and general bad taste… For many of these I picked a theme and stuck with it until the next paper.

Jeez, the site sure is slow today.

Superwoman

Jacob Winkler did a nice take on Superwoman at U16’s CTT Turbo, so I thought I’d do a take on his take for fun. Originally I was attracted to the nightmarish quality of Jacobs image, but in the end went for something else.

I opted to go for a more practical, “realistic” design rather than the typical top-heavy spiked heels and microskirt type of designs you often see in superhero comics.

Didn’t even realize that Hulk is a Marvel character until I’d already finished the piece. Oh well, same difference.

Dopamine

I did this for U16′s CTT activity after Nicholas Liaw’s sketch. Here’s what he says about the character:

Psychologist Dr. Alice Anderson has always been empathic, able to perceive the slightest changes in her patients. However, a terrible accident caused her to lose the ability to feel emotion. Instead, she gained the ability to modulate the neurotransmitters of other people; the control over emotion, pleasure, pain, and even death itself.

Here’s she is, instilling guilt without feeling any.

Retro Character Sketches

Teemu — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 23:02:00 +0000

Nothing too special this time around, really. I just drew a few character sketches for no particular reason, going for a more or less retro feel in the designs. The dude on top right was supposed to be some kind of military officer, but when I was done I realized I’d drawn a bullfighter instead. Hahhah.

Batman sketches

It’s been fucking long since the last time I’ve posted. I guess my motivation ran off with another man. Good times, bad times.

Anyway, to stop the the tail-spin I managed to whip out some sketches of my favorite superhero (whose comic I practically don’t read). So here’s a pinup of Batman and Catwoman standing in snowfall for some unknown reason. Maybe Batman forgot his keys to the Batmobile and Catwoman is just about to gleefully dump him and take off with her Cat-van.

And here’s just another crappy sketch of Bats. I also did a Joker but he turned out too bad even for this blog.

UPDATE: Revised the Catwoman a little – her arms looked awful and what was I thinking with the whip.

Poison Ivy

Teemu — Sat, 27 Jan 2007 11:10:00 +0000

Still continued on the theme of superheroes. This time it’s Poison Ivy (from Batman naturally). I whipped it together for a DC-themed weekly activity at the Eatpoo Forums.

Even though this was quite a quick piece, its nice to be posting something more finished for change.

More and Less Super Superheroes

Teemu — Sun, 21 Jan 2007 19:00:00 +0000

On Illustration Friday the theme for the week is Superheroes. Yay, what a way to get creative juices flowing! Instead of going for those age old, steroid popping Pro Wrestlers of the comic book world, I felt like creating more down-to-earth characters – Stuck ankle deep in it for some of them.

So without further a due, here’s a really motley crew of heroes of the night:
The loners, the Door Patrol, the Brotherhood of Jack, the Dynamic Duo of Prowler and Distractor and finally the lovely ladies for whom I failed to come up with a catchy group name. Watch out for foul language.

And here’s a small comic about Bitterman. Kind of like "Bitterman Reborn (again)".

Superhero Sketches

Teemu — Tue, 09 Jan 2007 21:34:00 +0000

Even though superheroes have never really been my thing, I like to draw an occasional Batman or Catwoman every now and then. This time I also did a few others.

I might have been too tired by the time I got to Catwoman. I might have screwed her up.

Then again, there are probably worse things than screwing Catwoman.
