I am a bit older than the Real American Hero version. Not that I don't know them. I do! I had the comics and some of the toys, but I didn't watch the cartoon. That cartoon really made the toys sell from what I understand and may be the best example of the "synergy" to sell toys. He-Man was certainly another one, but I never had a He-Man toy, nor did I ever watch that show. But what if they had used that same strategy a decade or so earlier?? We didn't get cartoons based on toys at the time because the FCC made it illegal to produce them as it was deemed to decisive a marketing ploy. This was repealed in the early '80's. GI Joe got its first re-brand in the early 1970's with the advent of the Adventure Team. The company had been losing money on sales of "war toys" due to the reaction and sentiment of the Vietnam War and pivoted Joe away from being in the military and made him and his team adventurers instead. Now, I already had the war versions as my father had brought them home for my brother and me. They were used and given to him from his friends at the Knights of Colombus whose own children had outgrown them. So, when these new ones came out, with "lifelike hair", "eagle eyes", and especially "kung-fu grip", we wanted them. I am pretty sure EVERY kid I knew had at least one GI Joe figure!! Now I didn't have the vehicles and such, but you could still have hours of adventures with everyone on the block making up adventures!! </p><p>I had posted previously how I learned much later in life that my friend Brian's grandfather had worked for the company and designed some toys and illustrated the Peter Pan Record books. When I reacquired some of those, I started thinking that I wanted to draw a GI Joe picture.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4CHBGgOVWr8FLEpF5lneZwqdPVbsNgVC5sbNr9xa_RlZh6leCKG86gfGHbaV-GxCNTlq7FQT1iI9Yt1AJ6umQekjHvWcMZvHLQZpUaMfy_6CYSDCprRBbB70M4D7zWZHjdEpLat33qyp24jnnXGcoUUVGsOdP5wp4ftXTtO3CGBAmfn9uju89XzE_hyphenhyphen0/s1080/298267682_1075464803172088_5774954666706106153_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="660" data-original-width="1080" height="196" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4CHBGgOVWr8FLEpF5lneZwqdPVbsNgVC5sbNr9xa_RlZh6leCKG86gfGHbaV-GxCNTlq7FQT1iI9Yt1AJ6umQekjHvWcMZvHLQZpUaMfy_6CYSDCprRBbB70M4D7zWZHjdEpLat33qyp24jnnXGcoUUVGsOdP5wp4ftXTtO3CGBAmfn9uju89XzE_hyphenhyphen0/s320/298267682_1075464803172088_5774954666706106153_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p>I was also inspired by the packaging art that appeared on the toys as well.

After all, he was a regular in The Invaders series and would make occasional appearances in the pages of the Fantastic Four. I actually think I first discovered him in the latter. Marvel would occasionally re-print a story when the creative team fell behind schedule. This seemed to happen a bit in the 70's. One such issue of the FF was a reprint from the 60's (drawn by Jack "The King" Kirby!) of Fantastic Four Annual #4 where the Human Torch met and fought the Original Torch. I loved it as Johnny Storm was my favorite member of the FF! But I was fascinated by this original Torch character. Here is the cover to that comic.<p></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwY7kXwaPa77AKYw8gB-lbVGNYMSPLsErJtJ1uQngI7s4X2jHfQphm3hrSuzX575JT6tc2N19ZCtan8d5v5vfXrFvGHCsTebPz6qIjc7Ipdnq0rN68etjD6d0BPfNayH6nfJDLo6VYije4jXO9FuVPXRkV6j6-mQhY7-kXesljlrYw2UCNeOLvtCbfCjc/s950/Pollard-Giacoia.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="950" data-original-width="618" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwY7kXwaPa77AKYw8gB-lbVGNYMSPLsErJtJ1uQngI7s4X2jHfQphm3hrSuzX575JT6tc2N19ZCtan8d5v5vfXrFvGHCsTebPz6qIjc7Ipdnq0rN68etjD6d0BPfNayH6nfJDLo6VYije4jXO9FuVPXRkV6j6-mQhY7-kXesljlrYw2UCNeOLvtCbfCjc/s320/Pollard-Giacoia.jpg" width="208" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>With no internet to look him up, it took a bit longer to find out that he was in fact, the first Marvel super-hero appearing in Marvel Comics #1!! </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7K8jixCEsg_HRsDPhEyrRR-Xu8I3tBwIG8ih8yp68WKA1vRDFsZ0srEukpbUjvP9OMZFvo-CgcjJvz4pHIOucASWRs1nhaOEAtx-EzIA2HeQTJZe9CJCgK3jUZOXLno4Vs1gjgjr0ObKYmYYuveP4EJaaWUogmiW5f4xp-hOX_uyVBVj1nbWzmuWee5c/s950/clean.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="950" data-original-width="630" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7K8jixCEsg_HRsDPhEyrRR-Xu8I3tBwIG8ih8yp68WKA1vRDFsZ0srEukpbUjvP9OMZFvo-CgcjJvz4pHIOucASWRs1nhaOEAtx-EzIA2HeQTJZe9CJCgK3jUZOXLno4Vs1gjgjr0ObKYmYYuveP4EJaaWUogmiW5f4xp-hOX_uyVBVj1nbWzmuWee5c/s320/clean.jpg" width="212" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>A bit of backstory for you is that the Torch is not human. At times he has been called an android (and I even did it for my picture) but that is an oversimplification. He is actually a synthetic man. Meaning he has organs and blood but all manmade versions. This has been forgotten at times in the comics too and it shows him with circuitry and wires. I like to compromise and say he is a mix of the two. And did you catch a glimpse of Torch in Captain America: The First Avenger?? You see him at the Stark Expo in the beginning of the film.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjE0gellS53yip0jgUkAC9x6RrlmNfTPPBR-HGUL8iWXBpWtHyl0m04XcDujkrEkSX-k_h7e1Tc9-zicqMnGtWxGKMllU31gsOCQp3i1b6SVc2_qEUM0sBH8VPRtG5CucQ_HSWG7YauEydBOsDkuW-E3owranm5pGrE8uxfasCoofwSJRHgK-YKDChiRo/s2413/a-burning-man-1641851294.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1355" data-original-width="2413" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjE0gellS53yip0jgUkAC9x6RrlmNfTPPBR-HGUL8iWXBpWtHyl0m04XcDujkrEkSX-k_h7e1Tc9-zicqMnGtWxGKMllU31gsOCQp3i1b6SVc2_qEUM0sBH8VPRtG5CucQ_HSWG7YauEydBOsDkuW-E3owranm5pGrE8uxfasCoofwSJRHgK-YKDChiRo/s320/a-burning-man-1641851294.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>So, for my picture, I am continuing the theme of cartoon ads that never were.

In truth, he was replaced because of rights issues and the Human Torch did in fact appear in the 1960's version as well as the 1990's version of the show.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the sketches and work in progress shots of the piece.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I was reminded of him from a Facebook group and then went to try to find his cartoons. I could only find them on YouTube and the quality is really lacking. I enjoyed them anyway. In fact, I found surprisingly little Hector online at all! But what I did find was that he had not just cartoons, but books, comic books, activity books, lunchbox and thermos set and probably more. Amazing that he just vanished and is pretty much forgotten.

This went really fast too. I had the idea at night before bed and it was done the next day!! A real rarity for me. I think I was hesitant because villains are not really my thing. Of course, over time in the MCU, Loki became more of a hero. Would not have been my choice since he was such a GREAT villain, but nobody asked me. Whether you like him as a villain or a hero, most won't deny how Tom Hiddleston totally brought life to the part.</span></p><p><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></p><p><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Here are the sketches for this one.

Eagle-eyed viewers may notice the early workings of an animated take on Evel that were done in my sketchbook too. After working on the Six Million Dollar Man piece, I started thinking about other people that never got the Saturday morning cartoon treatment, so I circled back to this. I had an idea of what I wanted to do. While I looked at my old drawings, I didn't stay with them. I didn't even look at photos either, which is very odd for me. I actually nailed down what I wanted in my drawing VERY quickly! The only change I decided to make was that I figured he should be holding the helmet rather than just placing it at his feet. I then started thinking about other characters that would be on a cartoon show with Evel and figured he needed a mechanic. And then thought it should be an attractive girl! I called her "Speed". But you can't stop at just one extra character either, and since almost every adult character on Saturday morning cartoons had a pet or kid sidekick. I went with the kid. I named him "Scooter". He started out as a skinny kid with glasses, and a helmet too. He then became a fat kid. I then thought that the mechanic should have the glasses so I had the weird idea that he should have an eye patch. I went with it. It was in the coloring stage that I got the idea that "Speed" should be black. Once I made the change I kind of liked how she reminded me of Halle Berry when she had short hair. I also that she would be cool for the voice too, and if I had Halle Berry for a voice then I could have Nicolas Cage as Evel and Cory Feldman as Scooter! Ha! <br /><br /><br /><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKKHLnOAMGjDBkl79ms1FevukE8guKRnsp_d5XSl9LZdJo8S_14JRB7aEmPYL9gy2UjUxmN3ELER9r0WdKy13wcTXbITFXISTSiGtZGb1uFtbOhYE-taRxP1pgz9CSqF1ekNSZfSt35FikPOHOeeJ2vX-kkCoXXBkZIsQ0OHxDN8SfW57PY2r6f4pWLHk/s2000/257.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1495" data-original-width="2000" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKKHLnOAMGjDBkl79ms1FevukE8guKRnsp_d5XSl9LZdJo8S_14JRB7aEmPYL9gy2UjUxmN3ELER9r0WdKy13wcTXbITFXISTSiGtZGb1uFtbOhYE-taRxP1pgz9CSqF1ekNSZfSt35FikPOHOeeJ2vX-kkCoXXBkZIsQ0OHxDN8SfW57PY2r6f4pWLHk/s320/257.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqSbQunkrkLDv-NTUlMojYD6gMGK_w3X62wpthh4YrY7cM2LmJ5CMzHeltF2fBth5eOb4DcQkn3Ht-oDSQ7-cM2un-turyK_P08g-bYpC6RVKxD2W3_WvYZ56HhOkBBf3iOg0kQ0SAIBh7VaxpfgrOdYGeaWgK2lH3OdUXKVOrpGNgWFuozk6QbCZmZbY/s2000/258.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1495" data-original-width="2000" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqSbQunkrkLDv-NTUlMojYD6gMGK_w3X62wpthh4YrY7cM2LmJ5CMzHeltF2fBth5eOb4DcQkn3Ht-oDSQ7-cM2un-turyK_P08g-bYpC6RVKxD2W3_WvYZ56HhOkBBf3iOg0kQ0SAIBh7VaxpfgrOdYGeaWgK2lH3OdUXKVOrpGNgWFuozk6QbCZmZbY/s320/258.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh13ga_ejHTnuhMjNQxPwYgddWfJ5xjH0Jgzt1_Y09OWaGwTOrpiwU9E0RVuloe83C4ugitlWN1sUPdKEzmkCLXvlyPS767ZDwmPU6TTUEWA0GpdrZ1Y9DlW4ILsyfs6na1wtXfhvDz37nW4nqbYdQ-tjJnDSp4lbtU0RHyNPKp1MNkmE5X6dpw51FPF5A/s576/IMG_5756.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="432" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh13ga_ejHTnuhMjNQxPwYgddWfJ5xjH0Jgzt1_Y09OWaGwTOrpiwU9E0RVuloe83C4ugitlWN1sUPdKEzmkCLXvlyPS767ZDwmPU6TTUEWA0GpdrZ1Y9DlW4ILsyfs6na1wtXfhvDz37nW4nqbYdQ-tjJnDSp4lbtU0RHyNPKp1MNkmE5X6dpw51FPF5A/s320/IMG_5756.PNG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgf3SmkvR3wfbsJQsWin2tvaL6k8kWW1TrCLUpkxFJrtxwwA4iTsVjlEtRHUw72jQl8LFrgPwbCs9pBgeJHKXnlPWTQBMBZmSZoBC3jOMVUNllmg7kFtpeTy3IV8cugpPgFEA6TSCVn7EXqLaE9siDYD8mXuXFv5xdC6jJ09G4eFEsonoTExqTDeU0_GY/s576/IMG_5757.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="432" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgf3SmkvR3wfbsJQsWin2tvaL6k8kWW1TrCLUpkxFJrtxwwA4iTsVjlEtRHUw72jQl8LFrgPwbCs9pBgeJHKXnlPWTQBMBZmSZoBC3jOMVUNllmg7kFtpeTy3IV8cugpPgFEA6TSCVn7EXqLaE9siDYD8mXuXFv5xdC6jJ09G4eFEsonoTExqTDeU0_GY/s320/IMG_5757.PNG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAK0ob2KuXuuFeZLGAan1U_uoTzYMOWdWiYQSv-hOBU03dBTigmelpj8aTckT71nRQc3H4oLklOPCGuji_vNKdlbL_tvXRnwzXTcYuV-tzaYaCXFOdcJs7KOHgEUZcRrIZ1S2nJxN__i77lIHNxZh8jNRs2gitrSjgDiuceiDJ0cEybalR0wuw4NRpaGw/s576/IMG_5758.PNG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="432" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAK0ob2KuXuuFeZLGAan1U_uoTzYMOWdWiYQSv-hOBU03dBTigmelpj8aTckT71nRQc3H4oLklOPCGuji_vNKdlbL_tvXRnwzXTcYuV-tzaYaCXFOdcJs7KOHgEUZcRrIZ1S2nJxN__i77lIHNxZh8jNRs2gitrSjgDiuceiDJ0cEybalR0wuw4NRpaGw/s320/IMG_5758.PNG" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I didn't keep the red hair.</td></tr></tbody></table><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>This part was a bit more challenging than I thought it would be.

I went home that afternoon, sat down and then realized that I needed to draw the van!

Let me reiterate piece I read about Buddy recently:<br /><br /><br />Buddy laid the blueprint for all others to follow. They told him only producers can produce music, not musicians. <br /><br /><br />He proved them wrong. <br /><br /><br />They told him that a four-piece band wasn't enough instrumentation to create hit records.<br /><br /><br />He proved them wrong. <br /><br /><br />They told him that songwriters only wrote songs and musicians only played music. You can't do both. <br /><br /><br />He proved them wrong. <br /><br /><br />They told him he would never become a star because you had to be good looking like Elvis, and you can't wear glasses. <br /><br /><br />He proved them wrong.<br /><br /><br />They told him orchestral arrangements and double tracking vocals in rock music would never work.<br /><br /><br />He proved them wrong. <br /><br /><br />They told him that no one from a one-horse town of Lubbock, Texas could ever become famous. You had to be from New York or Los Angeles. <br /><br /><br />He proved them wrong. <br /><br /><br />They told him that no musician had the right to question a record label about copyrights, promotions, or ownership of one's music. <br /><br /><br />He proved them wrong. <br /><br /><br />Buddy was the first rock and roll musician to write, arrange, produce and perform his own music, and probably the most important reason that rock and roll music survived as long as it has.<div> <br />And he did it by the time of his death at only 22 years old.<br /></div>Jon Pintohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06789796783076096506noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764667453910492920.post-33047795172093484512024-01-30T19:00:00.001-05:002024-01-30T19:00:00.140-05:00Lariat Sam! I was hit by a bolt of inspiration! I follow a Facebook page dedicated to "forgotten cartoons". I am usually surprised how many of these forgotten characters I actually do remember, but recently I was taken back by this one. This is a cartoon segment that was shown on Captain Kangaroo. Now, I didn't really watch that show as I was scared of him. I don't know why. I was young and crazy. My brother was a fan though, so it was still on in our household. I did totally forget this existed until someone posted it on the Facebook page! I thought, "how fun!!". And it's a western theme cartoon to boot!!<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCzP0-0oC6ijZjC9qHaEmzYykaDhbv0rXdIl6DVApFw2CloEIsTBJIMsUvIQYJZWbN4qA4Mv7Qy48bLimHvKE4Zs5YZxAV-BixbqdguhETSlsz57M4N0DvVCubg2sKZjdD2iQPaRQV7LzPt0IoopEWBBItFnEyCh9a3y3lNHfWaVNzw-loqh4da3h3TbU/s950/LariatSamWM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="950" data-original-width="624" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCzP0-0oC6ijZjC9qHaEmzYykaDhbv0rXdIl6DVApFw2CloEIsTBJIMsUvIQYJZWbN4qA4Mv7Qy48bLimHvKE4Zs5YZxAV-BixbqdguhETSlsz57M4N0DvVCubg2sKZjdD2iQPaRQV7LzPt0IoopEWBBItFnEyCh9a3y3lNHfWaVNzw-loqh4da3h3TbU/s320/LariatSamWM.jpg" width="210" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>These are the quick sketches done when I got the initial idea for this!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-cjjwR9-RGQlR3VM6huBoePMsZxrKa_ELgdLJK12Ddlzqb3SesLeNBjid04KjNV5J77BvOuBsHeBw9csjLOMJ68ONMp_xQ1ysxHMbiK1QRcfhCD-3y-MqBEbKCx25uR5g095kqplzIGCrSWzbzIiOMd4YcWCTLiiZWlk1HzZJT-OXRUiZpToxdpUlKGI/s2000/254.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1495" data-original-width="2000" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-cjjwR9-RGQlR3VM6huBoePMsZxrKa_ELgdLJK12Ddlzqb3SesLeNBjid04KjNV5J77BvOuBsHeBw9csjLOMJ68ONMp_xQ1ysxHMbiK1QRcfhCD-3y-MqBEbKCx25uR5g095kqplzIGCrSWzbzIiOMd4YcWCTLiiZWlk1HzZJT-OXRUiZpToxdpUlKGI/s320/254.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDC_yxVYBrXAzq8DxY-kKdAOA_D5ox4_D8mZYshpHBHby4Hv_NngyjTAeu1J8n2406NvJzMAVixInik43rhs1pVkzuaXjSZ8ifQRP_amVOtWmZx7lH3PEiqAQs9Viu5LAM0oLAMXpTKIpzhGkq6tDm71IJfkdxFHynEijbq_WCuTaqGZvKZHPW60mJP6M/s2000/255.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1495" data-original-width="2000" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDC_yxVYBrXAzq8DxY-kKdAOA_D5ox4_D8mZYshpHBHby4Hv_NngyjTAeu1J8n2406NvJzMAVixInik43rhs1pVkzuaXjSZ8ifQRP_amVOtWmZx7lH3PEiqAQs9Viu5LAM0oLAMXpTKIpzhGkq6tDm71IJfkdxFHynEijbq_WCuTaqGZvKZHPW60mJP6M/s320/255.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #1c2b33; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 14px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">This is a quick color study for the main characters plus my in-progress background. I am starting to actually like drawing these. It was also not far after I got to this stage that I decided to re-draw the characters to give them more of a slightly modern twist to them rather than being 100% faithful to their original designs. I also had a moment when I put my figures onto the background and found it to be too heavy on the viewer left. I then simply flipped my background! So glad that it worked! </span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #1c2b33; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 14px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #1c2b33; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 14px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #1c2b33; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 14px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhscIdqsxcY73iXBIvadX82xaOSHnKc7DR5brOXDgA7xHW2zrDSq2BDmxKQRgNnuTxtr7xWbcy4ImV4OMQXoNE53cUi92RTIU5reTFaQNgEppFCq1WM3DGgkKOlgGcEvG0o1132mI15OUoEfMi4jINo5DWB5O7QaRqvWjGVJc1HquY3iC6btpaRsixGxEA/s950/IMG_5683.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="950" data-original-width="624" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhscIdqsxcY73iXBIvadX82xaOSHnKc7DR5brOXDgA7xHW2zrDSq2BDmxKQRgNnuTxtr7xWbcy4ImV4OMQXoNE53cUi92RTIU5reTFaQNgEppFCq1WM3DGgkKOlgGcEvG0o1132mI15OUoEfMi4jINo5DWB5O7QaRqvWjGVJc1HquY3iC6btpaRsixGxEA/s320/IMG_5683.JPG" width="210" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Z52wp-l2B-_HHeuAaqF41KkIqwId1aoJo3UDIGBeoIP3-AqU0fQs9rdJ3rs1vUfBmRtBf4DuiagtIYsADyhixlDF18sRvJiEWyeQqjjfyycW3NjhjaEpz-atZZuaUQDtZ4VH_Av7NMbtrnyVT6l50qaYCaFplngr9OKdkUVTwDp2-TjrEp_bDkPiVhs/s950/LariatBackground.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="950" data-original-width="624" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Z52wp-l2B-_HHeuAaqF41KkIqwId1aoJo3UDIGBeoIP3-AqU0fQs9rdJ3rs1vUfBmRtBf4DuiagtIYsADyhixlDF18sRvJiEWyeQqjjfyycW3NjhjaEpz-atZZuaUQDtZ4VH_Av7NMbtrnyVT6l50qaYCaFplngr9OKdkUVTwDp2-TjrEp_bDkPiVhs/s320/LariatBackground.jpg" width="210" /></a></div>And once again as a bonus for reading this here, a line art version that is good for coloring!!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr8z4jYOYYSZRyfdsdionUN8RNtgNGSyWMjE-J3lmjZVr9QnbzMlVzXDLf876jQFA-1VkOh6cfe6CUVtg15pRhCTpYhjFeVGCKSnilXf4JoaP9VR1HJ37pmdRzZliqnaxaIH-71QDZiRd99HFduRQeWHGzc3mNMLxLPGpOIUWgBIAmiY_tcW3Xu4lqLdY/s3500/LariatSamINK.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3500" data-original-width="2300" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr8z4jYOYYSZRyfdsdionUN8RNtgNGSyWMjE-J3lmjZVr9QnbzMlVzXDLf876jQFA-1VkOh6cfe6CUVtg15pRhCTpYhjFeVGCKSnilXf4JoaP9VR1HJ37pmdRzZliqnaxaIH-71QDZiRd99HFduRQeWHGzc3mNMLxLPGpOIUWgBIAmiY_tcW3Xu4lqLdY/s320/LariatSamINK.jpg" width="210" /></a></div><br /><div><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1c2b33; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 14px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></div>Jon Pintohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06789796783076096506noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764667453910492920.post-195482475723241962024-01-22T19:00:00.001-05:002024-01-22T19:00:00.153-05:00Brain Animation!<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyTfYA_6QBPA5n-m0J_SppFHhVQ3yd1MeZm3dfKOFOzAfOBsqnZkyeJIQszSkIcX1NG2E2l09te0FSwBkWERQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><br />This is a quick animation I did recently for my Church as the roll-in to the service.

Revisiting The Six Million Dollar man really got me feeling nostalgic! I even started watching the show on Peacock! I didn't plan this as I really try to take a break during the holiday season, but I was doodling ideas into my sketchbook, and I couldn't be stopped. Steve Austin: The Six Million Dollar Man!!! This was so much fun to do!!! I hope you like it. I know people will ask me why I used Farrah Fawcett instead of Lindsay Wagner. The answer is that I wanted it to be just a Six Million Dollar Man piece, not a bionic family shot, and Farrah was on the show so many times playing different roles and, of course, was married to Lee Majors at the time.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNtct0O2CH5Z5bIBV93pIFv35puBPt9j-bdSIToDJSjchFpabRXaLBgZy34V0nvT6YgmkLAT11YZj6-OJUAe48aUHAlRjpB-FDG8ELPLgrgc9pRvhCR7csYUdRMZ-oFw-H1tvCwPb9nxXYH3VTRIHnXrtEyExEPkPI46LeSeNhnyEeH5OQs0yezRe8aKM/s950/SixMillionAnimatedWM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="950" data-original-width="624" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNtct0O2CH5Z5bIBV93pIFv35puBPt9j-bdSIToDJSjchFpabRXaLBgZy34V0nvT6YgmkLAT11YZj6-OJUAe48aUHAlRjpB-FDG8ELPLgrgc9pRvhCR7csYUdRMZ-oFw-H1tvCwPb9nxXYH3VTRIHnXrtEyExEPkPI46LeSeNhnyEeH5OQs0yezRe8aKM/s320/SixMillionAnimatedWM.jpg" width="210" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>Here are several pages REALLY showing what it looks like to me when I start on an idea.

I even drew some machinery!! Who is that girl with the famous hair?? Speaking of hair, sometimes I get too carried away and have to take a step back and remind myself to simplify it. My biggest hurdle was Bigfoot. I knew he had to be in the picture but getting a feel for him was harder than I thought and took me a bit to get to a point I was comfortable. Sometimes you have to let go of the likeness. All my early drawings of him looked like Alan Moore (the writer) more than Bigfoot. Even my son thought so.<p></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoqughrYyUY-tbl0iBYRbh5DZXiarNEPBabLEI51YY5wR687ZbRUqFfMYIkvhFVHD5XP7XbCf8Q-rvDxqi8uXIV-gFb-YgfozqC24kZx5IXoXzpR2Zt0wR2iGLEvNfFUloKGgLEdsKZi1Lno0fuF_e3ZSNUi_IsDqQeAURN8jaeqXZPE_NNX8xDnx5gp8/s2000/250.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1495" data-original-width="2000" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoqughrYyUY-tbl0iBYRbh5DZXiarNEPBabLEI51YY5wR687ZbRUqFfMYIkvhFVHD5XP7XbCf8Q-rvDxqi8uXIV-gFb-YgfozqC24kZx5IXoXzpR2Zt0wR2iGLEvNfFUloKGgLEdsKZi1Lno0fuF_e3ZSNUi_IsDqQeAURN8jaeqXZPE_NNX8xDnx5gp8/s320/250.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyOQgF2kX-sN2lALwzlWrdihQhyphenhyphen-PuMtVULGM5ih0pGDcg6V9Jf4EwRcHoOiXDMgo29FFtOyREnm5QgZfWbbkHLc0-Ko2_Qj3gAm1bMoAMEDB92pbiS1pv-2mHGPP5UE06F6jQcBOUXcl3f5SYxfJtX4f1M04EcB6S78zai-ZAUxdJKgFV_3maivxh2NE/s2000/251.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1495" data-original-width="2000" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyOQgF2kX-sN2lALwzlWrdihQhyphenhyphen-PuMtVULGM5ih0pGDcg6V9Jf4EwRcHoOiXDMgo29FFtOyREnm5QgZfWbbkHLc0-Ko2_Qj3gAm1bMoAMEDB92pbiS1pv-2mHGPP5UE06F6jQcBOUXcl3f5SYxfJtX4f1M04EcB6S78zai-ZAUxdJKgFV_3maivxh2NE/s320/251.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghs2s38Rg7TPeMKXNJqukISrbCT8Yt3K5PYcAd3ZCpTtq5uqJZ2Lm_PuJvThq_EJhUlQ_Wu9TfZv_9t9F4X0qn9sT36I7x77-yVsTFec8Q30RIQi3RKKDQ0u_-bzloW-V0ZVavMeG0yLare1ESCKdy1UR9HGTQkTbhE9ZzHAjs3jmy7rro_ucbgpkN6vg/s2000/253.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1495" data-original-width="2000" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghs2s38Rg7TPeMKXNJqukISrbCT8Yt3K5PYcAd3ZCpTtq5uqJZ2Lm_PuJvThq_EJhUlQ_Wu9TfZv_9t9F4X0qn9sT36I7x77-yVsTFec8Q30RIQi3RKKDQ0u_-bzloW-V0ZVavMeG0yLare1ESCKdy1UR9HGTQkTbhE9ZzHAjs3jmy7rro_ucbgpkN6vg/s320/253.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span><p></p><br /><div><br /></div>Inking and flat colors for Steve Austin.

Someone had a pen, and I naturally began to draw on it. We were at a seafood restaurant, so SpongeBob seemed like a natural choice. Then my wife Mindy began to tell the story of an odd dream she had several years ago that had a creature in it that was part man, part horse, and part fish. We couldn't stop giggling as she told her tale and even she started to have a hard time finishing it as she was laughing so much! I wish I could re-tell it here, but it would never live up to the hype. You had to be there. But I did do a (terrible) drawing of the "Centaur-Fish Man" and managed to take a snapshot of it. Sometime later I got the idea to draw it for real. It wound up languishing on my iPad for some time before this fall when I actually opened the file and then had the inspiration to finish it, add some type and give it to Mindy as a gift for Christmas. Now, I normally shy far away from gifting my artwork as I am very self-conscious of the thought of it so I wanted to make it something she would use. She dreamt of it so maybe a sleep shirt would be the thing. Perfect! I was off the races! </p><p>Here is the Centaur-Fish Man and even a rare shot of Mindy on Christmas morning with the shirt. Don't worry, she said I could post it. ;)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhedvdcHIykIpGMZCozoTYr0ojoB5fISNiXgF074YgTja0WwQwXlTikUZDVY9mZfLhj_nIr25cqVbt3t-Hbp3TQYUiZn8FVWunTcqyWtKJfwaN0ROaK9DtLz5hXd033Cx3ct8COPBmTG7jDq8uRJ5QIYv932anSXH2iSkV68kw5JLN0j8lCdvCM1LVAFlQ/s720/05.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I made movie posters!! What a stretch, right!? This might be 18x24 (I'm too lazy to dig it out of the closet to measure) and painted with oil on illustration board. My theme was my childhood heroes and Steve Austin was a big one for me! Before there was an Obi Wan Kenobi or Christopher Reeve's Superman, there was the Bionic Man!! I have such fond memories of watching it with my brother and father every week!! I, of course, had the action figure. Still do actually and I may still make the bionic noise when doing something around the house. Painting this picture was actually quite difficult as I had almost no reference. I had no magazines or books, and the internet was in its infancy and the images there were very tiny! It was not being shown on any channel I had in Sarasota, Florida either.

As usual, I try to stay off the computer until the new year from this point. It's good to have a break and with family here it makes it even easier. I hope you all had a good year and I look forward to seeing you all in 2024!</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuGC5GQBtx-90DJ5jwW8CsJMy3mQx5PL-YBMqnghq5HiF1N5C1Dt1GhKsw6kjlUWTglfzNOzuoQQpiqAaJZVyG5lnTykLlp2kC6PU77Ym3Z0NlCPRR7pDrKs2wjqKYTOLjc9G53GWNUIKn-bHGk4P3KAeZtqVDI7Y9sMN8QXeeiyc80ZcqCfhsnDlnTFs/s2185/Christmas%202023.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1417" data-original-width="2185" height="208" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuGC5GQBtx-90DJ5jwW8CsJMy3mQx5PL-YBMqnghq5HiF1N5C1Dt1GhKsw6kjlUWTglfzNOzuoQQpiqAaJZVyG5lnTykLlp2kC6PU77Ym3Z0NlCPRR7pDrKs2wjqKYTOLjc9G53GWNUIKn-bHGk4P3KAeZtqVDI7Y9sMN8QXeeiyc80ZcqCfhsnDlnTFs/s320/Christmas%202023.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghRW6-Xdc4HzMppVvEO4rHQqIKxuklobcVjSjMN4w7DMrmUC8V3bJ5ED55JMzW5yu_McZMBo-O19UH_xKda_Ysjf080cGD2btilnpWxGc9aTYW0tB-1Lw9Ix0c2rcJY-AYFwurAN8J6loiPbqCiQjse4dtUkw_vbIvSoJbEFtJJ5Uc3sgYQVVJBJBnfs0/s2185/Christmas%202023B.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1417" data-original-width="2185" height="208" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghRW6-Xdc4HzMppVvEO4rHQqIKxuklobcVjSjMN4w7DMrmUC8V3bJ5ED55JMzW5yu_McZMBo-O19UH_xKda_Ysjf080cGD2btilnpWxGc9aTYW0tB-1Lw9Ix0c2rcJY-AYFwurAN8J6loiPbqCiQjse4dtUkw_vbIvSoJbEFtJJ5Uc3sgYQVVJBJBnfs0/s320/Christmas%202023B.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Jon Pintohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06789796783076096506noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764667453910492920.post-67885573947293462122023-12-21T18:16:00.001-05:002023-12-21T18:16:00.144-05:00Six Million Dollar Logo! You know that logo for the Six Million Dollar Man that was on all the toys back in the 70's?? You can see on my classic figure in the photo (I apologize for the dust). Well, I thought I would give it a bit of a Pinto spin and re-create it with my old drawing of Lee Majors and maybe give it a tweak.

James Bond!<p> I was sick with the flu recently and while I was laying there on the couch for days on end, I watched a lot of James Bond movies. Many of you know that I love Bond and have drawn him several times in the past. You also know that of late, I have been interpreting characters for movie posters for animated projects that don't exist. I can't imagine an animated James Bond EVER existing considering how much it would get watered down. I know that there was a short-lived cartoon of "James Bond Jr.", but that's not the same thing.</p><p>I didn't really do a portrait of any one Bond, but I guess he looks most like Sean Connery. That's cool. I also wanted to keep a 1960's vibe to it with the haircut and such too. I did add a small scar on his cheek though as described by Fleming himself. The girl is no character in particular and I failed to come up with a clever name for her as so many had in the movies. I am willing to hear suggestions though. Blofeld was also no one actor and I really didn't even look at any. Besides the cat, the suit and the scar, he it from scratch. Jaws, on the other hand, is the only thing besides the car that I used heavy reference for. I think I got him down to if I don't say so myself.</p><p>So, there you have it! can you hear the theme music as you look at it?? I can.</p><p><br /></p><p>Enjoy!</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMhJ6SL9pPZx8Fb20ckdOQVInOGI5O0pYYCqBf5uDBOvW_wy9Hdt0HxrIT70_nnPbBRphi4j63wYHwCaKlxmhWUHsEvQFulzyGqHOvmGl7OX1jzzNb4T7ABsOWS5O1M6MNDfHCroqHjsqrlqHWxOb3jBjbTzMiIRcfrZDJITgC1l9N9Hd4U3-pGh19xi4/s950/BondAnimatedWM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Even though my son graduated a year and half ago, I still volunteer to do scenery for the school plays. This year the big show was shifted to the fall as they put on White Christmas!! It was a GREAT show!! My only regret was that it was so good, I wish Joe was in it. Well, he may have made a hidden cameo as I always do. You can't see either of us in these as we appeared in animated segments. Here are some of the scenes I made plus the logo I designed.<div><br /></div>And since I always hide things in the scenery, and people ask, here those are as well. First off was the opening scene taking place during the war. Painted the lower right of the crumbling wall is "PINTO WAS HERE". The dressing room scene had a poster on the lower left for "PLANET OF THE APES: THE MUSICAL". The moving train scene had the most. Some scenery from old shows went by like Munchkinland from Oz and Superman flew out of a barn and across the sky at one point. The station in Providence had a poster of myself as the Wizard of OZ on the far right and lastly, the station in Pine Tree had my son from the prop painting of Gaston from Beauty and the Beast as well as "Mountain Dew Sold Here".<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Want to keep it based more on the comic and do an "animated" take on it. Like some of my other recent posters of this nature, what can I put in it that would never actually be allowed? Gun fire? Smoking? Bettie Page!!???</p><br />When I started to refine my drawing of The Rocketeer himself, I found that the comic style rocket pack was not visible enough for my liking. Cheating the size wasn’t working either. Maybe it should have been fine, but I got it in my head that we would see the pack. Then I got a crazy idea. What if the movie style jet pack was colored like the comic?? So, I mocked that up and I really liked it. You can see it posted below.<br />I have to tell you all that I really struggled with Betty on this one. I wanted to follow the course in doing things on my poster that would never be allowed on a real one. Guns, smoking, .... and a half naked Betty! To those not familiar with the comic version, this is how Betty is portrayed (and named Betty, not Jenny) and one of the most iconic pages is the WOW page. Definitely a bit racier than a Disney movie!! So, I did both a PG and an R rated version.<br /><br />So, whichever one YOU prefer, I hope you enjoy!<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj7po3NiM5syW05mvYGWbkHDDvA7mgV_NDFC_WxENx8YGCXR2vS2YDlqeveuSGBS_LVjs6SgCnA4IVKvLIY8FGoOkRurVwtJFkRmlY6CVhVvigkfAsnTOX7NXeVt3yhyHhVcmvF8uXW3Anw-O11dO2JOpKYoivzhHtcpMDs3TqZcUaMXoE_5PGe2kH3YQ/s950/RocketeerAnimatedPGWM.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="950" data-original-width="624" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj7po3NiM5syW05mvYGWbkHDDvA7mgV_NDFC_WxENx8YGCXR2vS2YDlqeveuSGBS_LVjs6SgCnA4IVKvLIY8FGoOkRurVwtJFkRmlY6CVhVvigkfAsnTOX7NXeVt3yhyHhVcmvF8uXW3Anw-O11dO2JOpKYoivzhHtcpMDs3TqZcUaMXoE_5PGe2kH3YQ/s320/RocketeerAnimatedPGWM.jpg" width="210" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzeW68jMQB7td3kKsKHOh_IhI6k0SL7ky64Kl-V4DYhK1r_QBpOcZOlEYEZxOCcKwkz8GjyOEPER7HhGXgl1WP-ZBsFNnaLZJFsIZTNa7LPdsvpCw3DLUf0AuGqtm55dm3TvX_s2EOYVZSUltyXhVQw1j-ZLVyftQgtwPbW2kTQMLjWk5s3oEuNTKA-oI/s950/RocketeerAnimatedRWM.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="950" data-original-width="624" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzeW68jMQB7td3kKsKHOh_IhI6k0SL7ky64Kl-V4DYhK1r_QBpOcZOlEYEZxOCcKwkz8GjyOEPER7HhGXgl1WP-ZBsFNnaLZJFsIZTNa7LPdsvpCw3DLUf0AuGqtm55dm3TvX_s2EOYVZSUltyXhVQw1j-ZLVyftQgtwPbW2kTQMLjWk5s3oEuNTKA-oI/s320/RocketeerAnimatedRWM.jpg" width="210" /></a></div><div><br /></div>As always, some sketches:<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU3nwdKFMa4URSspeGnLOZ_Ja2VB0nMxBy1yHp0vnP_rxohWKlb2gXCUcWOrPIjbL7N0oGV4syYaORHw08DGiHcXUbrNhD2j3ResV2-EMkJj7MGyiw_J6dbfr8pQZSEhm2LvWodB3N_6kN4T2A0BAs8EzLa8cPaTQDSdRI4lIKPViDlDQuz25I0KJcOxI/s3500/Betties.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3500" data-original-width="2300" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU3nwdKFMa4URSspeGnLOZ_Ja2VB0nMxBy1yHp0vnP_rxohWKlb2gXCUcWOrPIjbL7N0oGV4syYaORHw08DGiHcXUbrNhD2j3ResV2-EMkJj7MGyiw_J6dbfr8pQZSEhm2LvWodB3N_6kN4T2A0BAs8EzLa8cPaTQDSdRI4lIKPViDlDQuz25I0KJcOxI/s320/Betties.jpg" width="210" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSTM68ZWbvFXY1jn5nBINYNbsNJiIOrxdrQfNFGjAyevhUE1ZizJDCkFNoY3FPxRnYK2Ggks6qgCWtOETHwCj194uwNUm3TWN0mFJqdaRqP0e_-IP12pyxKtUwTMGjGlRFgM5Pg1vYIZ5dykLVGTi0MpAD7OE_r1qpWQ11tIRGBE91vPzDlZ7usF4ejYk/s817/ComboJetPackMock.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="817" data-original-width="721" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSTM68ZWbvFXY1jn5nBINYNbsNJiIOrxdrQfNFGjAyevhUE1ZizJDCkFNoY3FPxRnYK2Ggks6qgCWtOETHwCj194uwNUm3TWN0mFJqdaRqP0e_-IP12pyxKtUwTMGjGlRFgM5Pg1vYIZ5dykLVGTi0MpAD7OE_r1qpWQ11tIRGBE91vPzDlZ7usF4ejYk/s320/ComboJetPackMock.png" width="282" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0FzjdgmROkpQx3NOcAHPjcUg9AmUKPPcnKTF3zeoesQ6OVPKBcMdGacku1rAaROIc09Ctv9NDYH8RNtjIBgLj75kUbT5dx5zegaLGCjJ_lilD54YHAkH0sAPpDmDw70H5FIhfMqc6wn36zVhjJtxcC2c4W1iHJS2W9c2NJckAWQJpAQCUyhca3ffG-Dg/s3500/RockteerSketch2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3500" data-original-width="2300" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0FzjdgmROkpQx3NOcAHPjcUg9AmUKPPcnKTF3zeoesQ6OVPKBcMdGacku1rAaROIc09Ctv9NDYH8RNtjIBgLj75kUbT5dx5zegaLGCjJ_lilD54YHAkH0sAPpDmDw70H5FIhfMqc6wn36zVhjJtxcC2c4W1iHJS2W9c2NJckAWQJpAQCUyhca3ffG-Dg/s320/RockteerSketch2.jpg" width="210" /></a></div><br /><div><br /><div><br /></div></div>Jon Pintohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06789796783076096506noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764667453910492920.post-79786326873125226312023-11-03T19:30:00.001-04:002023-11-03T19:30:00.152-04:00Traditional vs Digital! I had a recent discussion about digital art. Again.

A few weeks ago, my wife and I took a long weekend trip to Syracuse. I only brought a sketchbook with me, no iPad and did manage to doodle some. I drew a picture of Evel Knievel in it and decided to scan it with my phone, not photograph it, and then when I had free moments in the car or such, I inked and colored it on my iPhone with nothing but my finger. Sure, it took my way longer to do it that way, but it was there, and I had bits of time to kill and had no deadline to meet. Was fun.<div><br /></div><div>Enoy!</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxcSBjqgYqnbjaNVohIOYRvUszyU_Fa5HL2H06rhwe_FUhzTNEK2kvYQj2bl6NSSCueFwhQj7teBTCEujZHkD05pVRcdQVIKaidiGz6kG1OnW9g0m3sINgFbiLfrwZBeJp136uX4BbGpDNPFXy42_B2Lk76fKqtZOS9WpeWb0q7SK98SytRdFd2psTh58/s1080/03.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxcSBjqgYqnbjaNVohIOYRvUszyU_Fa5HL2H06rhwe_FUhzTNEK2kvYQj2bl6NSSCueFwhQj7teBTCEujZHkD05pVRcdQVIKaidiGz6kG1OnW9g0m3sINgFbiLfrwZBeJp136uX4BbGpDNPFXy42_B2Lk76fKqtZOS9WpeWb0q7SK98SytRdFd2psTh58/s320/03.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>As usual, here is the scan and the digital inks.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTJAjXJG4sUcamzw52l6d-79QIOYYR0AnJQYjplRENcNg3PH-5s7Y0pDE6H6OsYHQa8Yr7CQ_yPHb48B0c0Ne-vYwjxkqNj4OjtSgFCisM3gTt2URsnJPXU92RNy2QEc4587pSEsxzBvpRbSs7Qn3N5l6ziQIoyyr347ZML_4rTDjH2x3gOq4TX9XP5mY/s1080/01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTJAjXJG4sUcamzw52l6d-79QIOYYR0AnJQYjplRENcNg3PH-5s7Y0pDE6H6OsYHQa8Yr7CQ_yPHb48B0c0Ne-vYwjxkqNj4OjtSgFCisM3gTt2URsnJPXU92RNy2QEc4587pSEsxzBvpRbSs7Qn3N5l6ziQIoyyr347ZML_4rTDjH2x3gOq4TX9XP5mY/s320/01.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQD0J5ajFonXN_S8_IXCk7_xEAdggnv3oh_3nkDYBEK1gBBmUHH5CI-nwU1RAsYcgV81pWjV3867TacSoyF4R0YQ6SknMrngoidRpdPZtwNT3AHQE3LlhdAu8dhEq46U6_lr87Twhvmo6Cr7nI1d3F78107DTP3bqPqtel5SXe01mw13Wk8ukqJ3o58O0/s1080/02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQD0J5ajFonXN_S8_IXCk7_xEAdggnv3oh_3nkDYBEK1gBBmUHH5CI-nwU1RAsYcgV81pWjV3867TacSoyF4R0YQ6SknMrngoidRpdPZtwNT3AHQE3LlhdAu8dhEq46U6_lr87Twhvmo6Cr7nI1d3F78107DTP3bqPqtel5SXe01mw13Wk8ukqJ3o58O0/s320/02.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div>Jon Pintohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06789796783076096506noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764667453910492920.post-73005739341422627322023-10-19T19:00:00.011-04:002023-10-19T19:00:00.141-04:00The Mighty Hercules!Over the summer, I introduced my son Joe to the 1963 cartoon of Hercules. It was produced by Joe Oriolo, the same gentleman that owned Felix the Cat, and even had the legendary Grim Natwick (Betty Boop, Snow White) work on it as well!! The theme song was sung by Johnny Nash, who would have his biggest hit a decade later with "I Can See Clearly Now". The most notable tho was that my son instantly commented that he looked like Superman. I told him no, Superman looks like Hercules and then explained how Bruce Timm was heavily influenced by this when he created his Superman for the Animated Adventures!<br /><br /> I admit that I never really intended to create a whole poster. I initially thought I would just draw Herc, but it ballooned very quickly. I did the whole thing on my iPad while watching TV and it went faster than I would have imagined. I like the "retro" coloring I did on this one using a nice, broken charcoal brush for the shadows and lights. Kept it simple. I also made a "vintage" poster version as well as the clean one because I couldn't make up my mind.

Recently in the comments on a social media post on my personal page, my childhood friend Chris mentioned the comic strip we did back when we were little kids (and that Terri colored). I haven't drawn him in over 15 years, and I posted those pics here on my blog, but it was fun to go back and re-explore him. I honestly don't remember much about it (nor what he actually looked like as none of it survived). I do remember he had a worm as a sidekick. So here is my pitch now, he's an idiot who thinks he has superpowers and was influenced by a stack of old comic books left in the barn. In truth, his best friend (the worm. Let's call him Morton) has the superpowers. <div><br /></div><div>What do you think? </div><div><br /></div><div>Maybe some of my old classmates remember better than I do.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP-918DyzgpDQHjI6mDSh1pugrCZOYCw1Xcc4YV2EAPZmNFZGtpz7piBYi8gTiQVIJ8LBssyWHD6Te7IZeYaCWBNcMSO0BOh7hIS1pirgHRb9p-V9r40IlCOm_kIeHhPNBEFq22hxzIt56W2t2leoZXK_g3GdZMAZ3orWBvP3-PU8eYCd-fIvxC8DblzY/s1080/01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP-918DyzgpDQHjI6mDSh1pugrCZOYCw1Xcc4YV2EAPZmNFZGtpz7piBYi8gTiQVIJ8LBssyWHD6Te7IZeYaCWBNcMSO0BOh7hIS1pirgHRb9p-V9r40IlCOm_kIeHhPNBEFq22hxzIt56W2t2leoZXK_g3GdZMAZ3orWBvP3-PU8eYCd-fIvxC8DblzY/s320/01.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I may have accidentally deleted the sketches but here is line drawing that may be fun to color.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSLdtIkVEPP6PkAnxuMdEw09L6MXZ3zCoGvdT-Aw4XObGLk4pdR7Kwe6dLPi062-MA6onYHbTEOwap2sJWNISngnL5uKxfuibjUbzCMykfaZmi9W5i6M6JAMsg_sr00_jHYrdGllz5-X5W0iCoU5REt3YxA0x_sskkK6mli5bxmRvp9YYz4-zR4HrFxxg/s1080/02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSLdtIkVEPP6PkAnxuMdEw09L6MXZ3zCoGvdT-Aw4XObGLk4pdR7Kwe6dLPi062-MA6onYHbTEOwap2sJWNISngnL5uKxfuibjUbzCMykfaZmi9W5i6M6JAMsg_sr00_jHYrdGllz5-X5W0iCoU5REt3YxA0x_sskkK6mli5bxmRvp9YYz4-zR4HrFxxg/s320/02.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div>Jon Pintohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06789796783076096506noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764667453910492920.post-57334179259834101692023-10-10T10:55:00.001-04:002023-10-10T10:55:00.149-04:00Hey, Hey, We're The Monkees! I've stopped and started working on a Monkees picture for longer than I can remember! I had several sketches and a REALLY rough mockup, but it was not there yet, so it languished on the shelf for so long. Maybe it was meeting Mickey Dolenz last month that gave me the spark I needed to do something. I actually abandoned everything that came before I went totally retro with it. I went really fast too!! From concept to finish in less than a day. I kept it simple with limited color. Hope you like it. <div><br /></div><div>Do you remember The Monkees?? Ever see them?? I saw them back in 1986 for their reunion tour. Had a great time!!<div><br />Enjoy!!</div></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjedXNA9Lyw7TOiIWeE8Ocx8-_WkAZfduNJclVrkx1w7lxon-ua4oUSi0I1c-lFIPr9tTkwlIBzqtNwfHfRjQYbKJBew-vsBihnQN-S5bNl9i5DsqmO40v9Y-p9_35LSxepCoWdeculUYrqwINofbJwMdp6DEa74B6X2i5rsTSUyO-6-TkkVcVBB7jNKdA/s950/TheMonkeesRetroWM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="950" data-original-width="624" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjedXNA9Lyw7TOiIWeE8Ocx8-_WkAZfduNJclVrkx1w7lxon-ua4oUSi0I1c-lFIPr9tTkwlIBzqtNwfHfRjQYbKJBew-vsBihnQN-S5bNl9i5DsqmO40v9Y-p9_35LSxepCoWdeculUYrqwINofbJwMdp6DEa74B6X2i5rsTSUyO-6-TkkVcVBB7jNKdA/s320/TheMonkeesRetroWM.jpg" width="210" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>Here is the pencil drawing too!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimZv7243jWCFuz-vrc7VqLDStUwIkdlkEKKGpdqlWcW7ECH-pEOUxrwzpD8FKKdcBcfx5tC1DmayZ9vg2gsc2N_Z5ZoK8sphCNPTqASEYtbQ727SsNvx8BBcFl20hFpgEE1ZlG1aNMFrzW7QgQhoTPQ3RBl0xdGiax6yF-JHS5-BGE7TUuLv7RPS4hdeA/s1080/01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimZv7243jWCFuz-vrc7VqLDStUwIkdlkEKKGpdqlWcW7ECH-pEOUxrwzpD8FKKdcBcfx5tC1DmayZ9vg2gsc2N_Z5ZoK8sphCNPTqASEYtbQ727SsNvx8BBcFl20hFpgEE1ZlG1aNMFrzW7QgQhoTPQ3RBl0xdGiax6yF-JHS5-BGE7TUuLv7RPS4hdeA/s320/01.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div>Jon Pintohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06789796783076096506noreply@blogger.com0
