Random sketches from my pad

[Cube II]

Just wanted to share some recent stuff I did for a local mag...it's a monthly strip...

After many years I went back to the pencil...I did almost forget the nice feeling it gives!
:)

Here's the "pre-production" sketch and the final artwork...

[JimC]

Totally wonderful - as usual! Thanks Michele!

[Cube II]

Jim,
I guess I might award you as my fan #1 with a cardboard medal
:)

Thanks! :blush

[bharris]

very cool! thanks for sharing that with us

(something's wrong with your website though ;) )

[pmd]

Nice - Thanks for sharing!

[Cube II]

Erm, sorry, you're right, I got the domain(s) [2, one for the truck site and the other for the 'toon site] 1 or + years ago but just really started working on it a few weeks ago...it's coming along nicely, or better, draggin along!
Shame on me...
:(

I hope to put something online soon...stay tuned
:)

[JimC]

I'll take that cardboard medal as long as you design it!

[FlaD90]

Very nice to see Rover Artwork!!!...let everyone know when the site is available.
All the best from Florida.

[Cube II]

Of course!
First thing I'll post here no doubt!

Thanks all for the kind comments

Here's the latest one for the summer issue,
sort of celebration of my rollcage project about to start...
:)

[Cube II]

Sketch for the February issue, same magazine.

[Cube II]

March issue strip.
I got the idea from the old sticky thread
http://www.d-90.com/forum/showthread.php?p=204074#post204074;
I thought to translate it in English so you guys might have an idea,
and I think I'll try and make an English versions of the future ones...
:)

[MUDSUX]

These are great!

[sn1987]

love the color version :-D

[Cube II]

Did anyone spot the "white dog"?

:grin

[MUDSUX]

Michele, where can I see more? Went to your website but couldn't find anything.

[Cube II]

:( :(

Sorry, I'm a lazy bu**er, I worked on the other site (my D90) and I have yet to prepare and upload all the 'toons...
I'll try to work on it in the next weeks.

If there's anything in particular you'd be interested in, let me know.
Thanks!

[MUDSUX]

No nothing in particular. Just like to see your drawings. I really like the Pink Panther one though.

[Cube II]

Once I'll have done you'll be able to see all the 'toons and all the sketches :)

[Cube II]

My latest Rovertoon-work in progress.

[sn1987]

[Cube II]

Working on a new strip last week...just thought to share.

Awesome as always!

[TDI Guy]

Very Cool.

[chrisvonc]

Awesome work!

[Gren_T]

Hey michele,
Great toons... I love the pink panther also, it works on so many levels..sublime..!

Regards

Gren

[Cube II]

Many thanks!

It's one of my favs...I really enjoyed drawing it!

[Cube II]

I did this for the June issue of the magazine.

As I often struggle to fall asleep, I was wondering what people do...counting sheeps?
Something different would suit a Roverhead better...and came this.

I'm not sure I got it right though, my mate pointed out the expression is not quite right...

[Cube II]

Slightly tweaked to suit my needs :)

[ssbartley1]

This strip could be based on my true life story! haha.

Great art work-

[Cube II]

Thank you sir!

[Cube II]

Again pimpin' my stuff...
Christmas Card for a certain Brit company :)

[chrisvonc]

haha.. the other day I came across my stack of remaining site xmas cards I had made a number of years ago with the art you did for me, as well as the matted drawing you sent me. It suprised me because I thought I didnt have any remaining.

[Cube II]

Time flies, uh?
But, I still remember the card like I did it yesterday.

I wish I were in a better situation and could draw more freely.
I would happily throw down something for that D90 shirt I always had in mind.
Just for the sake of it.

[chrisvonc]

I need to shoot you a PM about a graphic I've been working on for something else, site unrelated.

[Cube II]

Anytime.

The D44 XCard took my last 2 weekends and more, I'm glad it's done (although I would have done it better here and there but there was no time left)...so I can breathe and work on something new.

Plus the Christmas holidays are drawing nearer, some spare time finally.
I hope to make it and start my project of comics strips collection, I need to speak to the printer and see what kind of paper he has on the shelf...:)

Edit: I forgot I have a logo and a banner left behind...ouch...

[Cube II]

I guess I missed a sketch or two...

Last strip for the April issue.

[Cube II]

June.

I miss Moab...

[Cube II]

Sketch...

[Neil McCauley]

Damn thats awesome. Can you do one of barry behind Josh doggystyle lifting Josh's leg porno style with barry's balls swinging in motion hitting his butthole and josh's dick? :) And a sketch of my 90 and my 110 together would be cool too. :)

[Cube II]

All in a single 'toon?
:confused
It could be expensive...

:)

[Cube II]

I started selling prints of my stuff...
:)
well it was about time, after a decade or so...

Will post details asap for those who might be interested.

[o2batsea]

You need a Cintiq (http://www.wacom.com/en/Products/Cintiq/Cintiq24HD.aspx)
I have dual 30s. So used to not looking at my hands when I draw....

[Manimal]

What tools & software do you use?

[Cube II]

Tools are pen (for rough sketches), pencil, brush & ink, and Photoshop (CS3).
And paper of course.

Cintiq?

Too expensive I guess (the last time I checked)...I have a Bamboo tho...

I'm trying to download the drivers right now as the pressure control doesn't work...
:confused

[roverx]

This is a shameless plug for a good guy and a great artist! Just got my cartoon from Michele today. Very cool and will soon hang above my desk. If you are looking for a cool gift for yourself or someone else you can't go wrong:)

Thanks
Michele

[Manimal]

Definitely start using your Bamboo tablet more and get a software called Sketchbook Pro. It's the best tool for what you're doing. It's available for Mac, PC and iPad.

Ok I got it...so far I only played with it a couple of times, it seems less "precise" than Photoshop but fun...good for...well, sketches.

I started with a self-portrait.
I forgot the bags under my eyes.

P.S.
Thanks Scott
:)

[rijosho]

Just got my cartoon from Michele today. Very cool and will soon hang above my desk.

This post is useless without pics! :)

[Cube II]

Scott got this one...

But yeah, I'd love to see a picture of it in place too...

[roverx]

Here it is on my desk. Hope to hang it today.
