Rock-afire Fanart (Closed)

[kaittttt]

Do any of you have any..? :] I'm pretty sure that there's a place for fanart in the "fans" section of the website, but since that's currently under construction, I'd really like to see some art HERE! :3

Anyway... I shall start, obviously! Hahaha. Here's a cartoon sketch I did of Mitzi:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v710/ambereyedhanyou/mitzi2.jpg

I'm planning on cleaning the sketch up, re-scanning, and coloring in Photoshop. :] Maybe draw a nice background while I'm at it.

What about you guys..?

[pizzacam]

Damn that's nice! :eek

[kaittttt]

Aww..thank you! x3 But it's really rough, I apologize. I'm gonna color it and stick it up here when it's really finished. :]

[ChuckEFranchize454]

wow thats awesome!!!! looks good great job

[captslappy]

Now that is freakin' cool. I think that's the best fan drawing I have seen of Mitzi yet.

[kaittttt]

:] Aw...thank you very much. Though it's only a sketch; I'll clean it up and post the colored version up here eventually. I'm also working on coloring a picture of Helen Henny for Nevin. Hahaha. :3

[kaittttt]

Here are the inked and colored versions of the first image I posted up here. :3 These are for Damon.. I actually promised him a colored version a LOOOOONG time ago... but I'm a jerk and only just finished now. :/

Ink:

Colored in Photoshop:

I hope he likes it, at least. :/ I really screwed up on inking the cord on her microphone...so it looks really crappy.

[ryhoyarbie]

Great picture! I like the cartoon version of Mitzi.

[kaittttt]

Hey, thanks! :]

I'm gonna be sticking a lot more up in this section pretty soon. Especially since I got all these nice requests. :3 You guys're all so kind.

Awesome Work Kaitt! :eek

[raebigc]

Thats some cool fanart, good job on Mitzi my fellow RAE enthusiast. Can you do any of the fellow band members like Fatz, Triple B (Billy Bob Brockali), Dook Larue, Looney Bird or Beach Bear. I'm a hardcore Rock-Afire fan, I got all the original versions of the songs that the RAE covered. I'm currently working on all the RAE songs.

[ZombieGoldFish]

Really cute Mitzi! I like your drawing style.

[kaittttt]

:] Thank you very much!

[TVsKyle]

As promised, here's my first foray into Rock-Afire Explosion fan art! Hope you like! :bb_happy2:

Unfortunately, the full-size file is too big for the message board, so you can check it out at

[kaittttt]

Gorgeous! Love it.

[pizzacam]

Yeah! Very nice man! It reminds me of Tex Avery's style... :p

[TVsKyle]

Thanky! :bbwink:

[ChuckEZone]

Very nice!

[harveytwoface999]

I totally want a poster of that. ^_^

[TVsKyle]

I totally want a poster of that. ^_^

Wow! Thank you!
Just in case you wanted to print one for yourself, the download version on Deviantart should be just about high res enough to make one.

[terry67401]

Sweet!! Very. very nice!!

[kaittttt]

Hahaha. Since I haven't posted anything in this section for a long while...I just thought I'd stick this up hurrr. :D
Not really that good. A quick 5 minute sketch I did in the hospital waiting room this afternoon. Hahah. <3

[ChuckECheese383]

My word your artwork is totally amazing!

[FanOfCEC]

Geeze Kait, That is way too cool! Major kudos on the creativity too!

[Number1CECFan]

Awwwwww, that is awesome!!!!!!!!!!! It is so cute!!!!!!!!!!!! Your artwork is so amazing! You are also a very creative person! Awesome work Kait! :cec_thumbs:

[Wakko]

Awesome picture! Like that style, too. I've been looking for a Rock-afire background for quite a while, but now I found a perfect one (this one). :cec_thumbs:

[lildook]

Dang thats sweet. What do you guys use to draw stuff like that? Do you use some program and a mouse or do you have something fancy? Or do you just scan it in from paper and color it.

David

[TVsKyle]

Dang thats sweet. What do you guys use to draw stuff like that? Do you use some program and a mouse or do you have something fancy? Or do you just scan it in from paper and color it.

David

Thanky! I drew the characters separately in my sketchbook, first in colored pencil, then in ink, and then I scanned and colored them in Photoshop. Billy Bob's Birthday Bird being the exception: I drew it in Flash with the wacom tablet and then pasted it in.

[lildook]

Awesome, sorry for asking so much but also... When you say you scan in the inked outlines into photoshop, is there a method to capture those outlines in photoshop so that you can easily color each section? Is there like a trace or something?

Thanks again! haha,, I wanna add some drawings myself.

David

Well, I make my scan (usually 300 dpi), and I use alpha channels to get rid of the red or blue pencil lines. I open brightness and contrast and turn contrast all the way up so the lines are true black with no aliasing, and then I adjust the brightness as necessary. I go to grayscale to eliminate the color information, and then go back to RGB so I can start coloring. Hope that helps!

[lildook]

I see, so you actually brush the coloring in then? You cant actually use the fill tool right?

David

[TVsKyle]

I see, so you actually brush the coloring in then? You cant actually use the fill tool right?

David

I do indeed! With the lines contrast turned all the way up, the aliasing is eliminated leaving only a true black, so you can easily use the fill tool.

[raebigc]

Cool! Kudos again on your work Kait, that was so cute.

[TVsKyle]

Great work, Kait!
Sorry for starting a new Fan Art thread.:bbembarassed: I didn't know one had already existed. Can a moderator maybe merge them?

Anyway, I thought I'd post some recent Rock-Afire art by my friends (with their permission, of course).

This first one is by my girlfriend, Lindsay Smith. She sketched most of this while watching the run-down Rock-Afire in Indio, hence Beach Bear contemplating his existance. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v460/TVsKyle/Rock_afire_by_cozmictwinkie.jpg

You can see the DA version here: http://cozmictwinkie.deviantart.com/art/Rock-afire-63532180

This next one is by my co-worker, Bill Drastal. Apparently, my recent fan art stirred up memories in his wife, Karen, who was scared of Fatz when she was little.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v460/TVsKyle/Scared_by_Billdrastal_thumb.jpg

The DA version of that one is here: http://billdrastal.deviantart.com/art/Scared-63684617

Thanks to whoever merged the threads! ^_^

[kaittttt]

Hahaha. I did! ;D And thanks for the compliment!

Love your art. I'm getting my own wacom tablet soon, so maybe I can actually make NICE lineart before I color my stuff digitally. Hahahaha. My scanner always eats whatever I draw.

Thought I'd share these with you guys. :]

Here's some doodles of Mitzi in my Disney-ish style. I plan on doing all the other characters like this soon, too. So expect those. :O
http://i6.tinypic.com/6hh0jev.jpg

And HEEERE is a picture I did of Abby and Rex, the stars of the upcoming SPTV Brian and I are working on. :]
http://i13.tinypic.com/677mk5e.jpg

Haha. :D Enjoy! <3

[raebigc]

That's absolutely beautiful, I love the way how you did Mitzi's facial expressions and the two characters from SPTV look really well-drawn.

[TVsKyle]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v460/TVsKyle/Billy_Bob_Seventiestastic_by_tvskyl.jpgSeventies-tastic Billy Bob and Looney Bird for Damon's setup. ^_^

[chuck rules]

Nice drawings of Mitzi and of the sptv.com characters Kait. Cool art work kyle.

[ChuckEFranchize454]

haha man kyle your artwork is amazing! it reminds me kinda of the ren and stimpy animation alot it looks awesome! and Kait that a good drawing of the SPTV charaters!

[MissCritter]

So wait, is this a fan-art thread?

Might as well post one, then. I posted it in the introduction thread too - maybe I shoudl take that one down O.O

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v125/aricacritter/BeachBearc1.jpg


Beach Bear! Pencil drawing colored in photoshop.

I'm a good friend of TvsKyle - we live together.

You know, I'm surprised they don't have a FANART section on the message board - it would be much easier than just having one long thread!

Ideas, admin?

[kaittttt]

Hahaha. We do, darlin'.
http://rock_afire.tripod.com/pizzacam/misc/fanart/index.html

[lildook]

Damn you all are so artistic makes me jealous... I wanna be like you HAHA..

I need to see what I can whip up

[MissCritter]

Oh awesome! So...how do I submit my work there? Who do I e-mail?

Thanks Kait!

[amelovesjasper]

Uhm...

Here's one of Mitzi I did.

http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff156/ameart/Mitzi02.jpg

[pizzacam]

Nice Mitzi Angela ;) I'd love to see you do a whole Rock-afire spread too!

[MissCritter]

Sorry for sounding like such a NOOb. :-P

[amelovesjasper]

Nice Mitzi Angela ;) I'd love to see you do a whole Rock-afire spread too!

A Rock afire spread, huh? ...Hm.

I'll consider that. ^^

[TVsKyle]

Welcome, Arica and Angela!
Here's some more artwork for Damon's "Smitty's" setup.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v460/TVsKyle/Rolfe_and_Earl_at_the_Improv_by_tvs.jpg?t=11917939 81

[pizzacam]

Damn Kyle that's sweet! :)

I'm still working on the script BTW :cecwink:

[dheineCECfan]

I like Mitzi singing with a mike sketch, inked, and colored - She could have been a contestant on the FOX music game show "Don't Forget the Lyrics"!

[MissCritter]

Something I did tonight for fun.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v125/aricacritter/bbcopy.jpg

[TVsKyle]

That is GORGEOUS, Arica! It looks like it'd be preproduction art for a Rock-Afire movie. I can just see it moving.

[MissCritter]

That is GORGEOUS, Arica! It looks like it'd be preproduction art for a Rock-Afire movie. I can just see it moving.

Thanks Kyle! That means a lot to me. I'd like to do all the Rock-Afire characters in this style, when I get time!

[amelovesjasper]

Thanks Kyle! That means a lot to me. I'd like to do all the Rock-Afire characters in this style, when I get time!

Oh, my gosh. Do want. <3 Please. Cause this is so awesome! (I leave lame comments, lol.)

[MissCritter]

Oh, my gosh. Do want. <3 Please. Cause this is so awesome! (I leave lame comments, lol.)

Thanks! Your support gives me more incentive to go through with it! :)

Fixed the overalls - now they're not as hideously greenish, but a nice, warmer yellow.

Here's Fatz next, as requested by Kyle. I'll probably tinker with this one a bit more later.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v125/aricacritter/fatzcopy.jpg

[TVsKyle]

Aw man, that is GORGEOUS! Did you start with the sketch from our trip, or start from scratch? Seriously, if Pixar were reviving Rock-Afire, this is what the preproduction stuff would look like. Fatz is totally ready to tell us all to shut up here, which is perfect.

[MissCritter]

Hahaha Kyle, I was totally thinking of you saying "shut up!" in Fatz' voice when I was drawing this. I almost wrote it on there, actually! I started from scratch on the tablet with this one, but used the drawing I did earlier as reference. I would have used the drawing but I wanted a better expression.

I'm glad you like! *hug*

Next up: Dook LaRue.

[amelovesjasper]

The color on these are amazing! Like I told you before, Fatz kinda scares me, but he's that kind of character, haha!

Yayyy Dook! I can't wait!!!

[dook&jasper`s#1fan]

hey all, u do awsome art work !!! i wish i could do it as well as u all do it. im ok @ art work i guess. i cant wait for a dook drawing!!! could i save it as a pic please??? id love any dook or jasper drawings. or choo-choo drawings. do u all do any disney drawings??? u all rock!!! melanie :)!!!

When I was very young, Disney was all I did. You know, no one ever draws ChooChoo - I think I'll add him to the list of Rockafire characters to draw. Loony Bird, too. You can save the Dook drawing if you wish! :fruit:

Hey Arica, I think it would be really neat if that after you finish all the drawings you group them together and make a wallpaper... <3

[MissCritter]

Yeah, if they'll all fit! That would be cool. We'll see what happens :D

Did you ever draw that fox? :)

[amelovesjasper]

Yeah, if they'll all fit! That would be cool. We'll see what happens :D

Did you ever draw that fox? :)

Yeah, but I don't like it. =\

Here you go guys! Arica requested this one!!! (I'm really honored that such an awesome artist would request something from me...!)

Okay, so this isn't exactly Rock afire, but it relates! :bbwink: Be nice, I was tinkering with photoshop.

http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff156/ameart/Queeniecopy.jpg

And to make up for how ugly that is, lol, here is my rendition of Dook LaRue (with his old costume!)

http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff156/ameart/Dook1.jpg

[MissCritter]

Awww, that's way cute! I love the colors, too :D Thanks so much!!!!!

By the way, does anyone know what her name is? She was an original member of the Wolf Pack 5. Was her name Mitzi? I know they changed her to a mouse to go with the pizza theme when they did the restaurants, but did her name change, too?

[MissCritter]

Ack! Hey, I just found out by doing some research! Her name was Queenie. :)

[kaittttt]

Both you guys are really good! I love the way you color your characters, Arica. Really pretty.

And the Dook and Queenie doodles are really cute, too! It was cool to see another drawin' of Queenie other than the one I did. Sketched it a long while ago, but never got around to postin' it. -
http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w274/kaittttt/queenie1.jpg
Blaugh.

This is kinda old, too. I just found it at the back of mah sketchbook. -

Weeeeeeeeee.....

[Billy Bob Brockali]

I really like that last one, Kait. The facial expressions are very well done. It would be awesome to see that one in color.

Everybody keep posting your work! Very cool to see some new interpretations of these characters. I can imagine this stuff, but have absolutley no art skills myself!

[dheineCECfan]

Yeah, but I don't like it. =\

Here you go guys! Arica requested this one!!! (I'm really honored that such an awesome artist would request something from me...!)

Is that a color fanart drawing of WP5's Queenie Fox?

[MissCritter]

That's a very cute Queenie, Kait, but somehow I doubt you did it a "long while ago". Just bad timing, I guess. Either way though, it's very cute.

[MissCritter]

Is that a color fanart drawing of WP5's Queenie Fox?

Yes! Angela did it.

[amelovesjasper]

Is that a color fanart drawing of WP5's Queenie Fox?

Yeah, she is!! Do you like her???

[kaittttt]

"A long while ago" as in earlier in the year. :o Like...April-ish?

And thanks. :fruit:

[MissCritter]

"A long while ago" as in earlier in the year. :o Like...April-ish?

And thanks. :fruit:

You're welcome. I especially like the little mole you added near her cheek. It's friggin adorable.

And ANGELA - I love how your Queenie has the little doo-whippie side burn thing! I love adding that touch to my characters whenever it supports their design, too. The curved lines you use make your characters look soft, and that's perfect for her character. You guys have inspired me to draw my own Queenie when I get time.

Does anyone know where I can find video of Queenie or Wolf Pack 5? I like her look, but if I like her voice and personality too, I might possibly become a fan ;)

[VegaNova]

Not to get too far off topic, but here's a video that shows Queenie. It's very short (at least the part of her singing), but that's her original voice - her songs were re-recorded for Mini at ShowBiz except for the vocal in this medley shown in the video. That's the original Foxy voice.

http://rock_afire.tripod.com/videos/cei/cei_wolfpack5.html

Of course, here she's in the cream color dress that Mini was in. The artwork so far (by the way which is great... everyones) is of that blue shirt CEI dressed her in.

I don't think much of the Wolfpack was standardized and odds are not many of these shows were produced. I bet stuff like costumes were changed up if a customer desired. ;)

Hahahaa. I personally love the blue shirt with the rolled up jeans and saddle shoes. I also like the fact that they didn't give her some stupid-ass colored wig, and too much makeup, which is something I don't like much about Mitzi (blonde on grey fur? WTF? ***** makeup? Bad designing decision). They should have stopped at the fox, but I understand the mouse change to go with the pizza theme. And thanks for the video - I saw it on youtube, but was wondering if there was anything better out there :\

Anyway I'll be leaving this site, so thanks to everyone for being cool. Take care of yourselves.

Just a simple little Billy Bob I sketched this weekend. ^_^

[lildook]

Ive always wondered what it would look like to swap costumes on the robots like,, have mitzi playing the drums, etc... And in this picture I can almost invision Billy bob playing Fatz :) Nice

Aw! I like how you color her with grey hair 'coz the blonde doesn't match. :X

Very cute!



How do you ink your stuff? The pen tool in PS?

[kaittttt]

http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w274/kaittttt/dookmitziswitched.jpg

:D I think I'mma do the other ones, too. I've gotta get off my lazy ass and color this and other crap I've posted as well.

[lildook]

HAHAH when I said swap costumes I meant in a technical form, so that dooks robot would have mitzi's outfit and thus look like mitzi HAHAHAHAH BUt cool anyhow!!!!!

[amelovesjasper]

...Yeaaaaaaah.

I don't know why Dook would enjoy wearing women's clothing, but, whtever floats your boat.

[kaittttt]

I thought it'd be better if they switched places AND genders ( or at least in this case, since Mitzi's a cheerleader and the only girl). So Dook isn't a guy in girl's clothing, he's a GIRL. And Mitzi's a boy. hahaha. So their names'd have to be different.

I think I actually remember a CEC parody from a cartoon, and they called it "Mikey Mozzarella" or something like that. To quote the resident smart-guy: "I love the cheesy robot show - it makes me feel smart." :D

But back on topic now, ya hear.

[amelovesjasper]

http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff156/ameart/choochoo.jpg

Quick ChooChoo, looking quite unlike ChooChoo.

I don't draw on model. :choochoo:

[lildook]

AWWWWW I wanna SQUEEZE him

[kaittttt]

That Choo-Choo's cute! :D

Here's an inking-in-progress drawing of Dook ( my favorite! <3 ).

http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w274/kaittttt/dookprogress1.jpg

[lildook]

Wow, what do you use to ink that in? I see you scanned in the sketch? Then do you ink with a program?

[kaittttt]

It's Photoshop with the pen tool! :D

It can be really time-consuming, but it turns out nice in the end. :D I'mma try to finish it up today.

[lildook]

Ok,, just one other question I promise... :) How do you make the pen tool create those line widths like you have, the curvey type stuff thats thicker in the center and thinner on the ends?

[kaittttt]

:D It's no prob! I don't mind answering questions.

What you gotta do is trace around the entire line you want to ink. Like, bring it back down and click on the anchor point you started with. Then right click and hit 'fill path'. :D

[ryhoyarbie]

Okay, as someone who likes to draw, how in the heck did you do that? Those are some awesome pictures.

I try to focus on making the characters as real as possible. Maybe I just need to let loose and have a little fun.

[kaittttt]

Aww! Thanks so much! :D


I've seen your drawings and you're very good with proportions and showing depth in your artwork, which is awesome. And since you're so good at drawing realism, cartooning would most likely come easy to you. :D You should try it and post some stuff here!
When I was younger and I taught myself how to draw/paint realistically, drawing cartoons became SOOO much easier for me.

[amelovesjasper]

Aw! I like how you color her with grey hair 'coz the blonde doesn't match. :X

Very cute!



How do you ink your stuff? The pen tool in PS?

No, I don't.

[kaittttt]

No, I don't.

Oooh. :D Is it digital inking, or do you do it by hand?

I loooove it! ...for obvious reasons, lmao. Also, I love how you incoperated his swim suit and usual outfit. FFF. SO CUTE.

[macrossmaster]

Every time I see art like this, I am reminded of the potential for these characters, and how much LIFE is left in them. Too bad for the RAE (and CEC to an extent) it is wasted by those who hold the license. I'd be snagging Kyle for some work if I were CEC!

[Munchy9]

Another piece for Smitty's!

That is great! I hope Smitty's is a success!

[AuraWolf]

I like how everyone's drawing style is different. I just drew this recently, I like how it came out, considering it's my first serious drawing of Mitzi.

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/AuraWolf/drawings/mitzi.jpg

[Lively Star King]

You have done a splendid job with this drawing, AuraWolf.:) I like it! Mitzi happens to be my favorite RAE member. The expression you have given her here is relatively similar to what I frequently see when a fellow person is in a state of being solemn. I find other artwork pieces of the character to be impressive like this one. Once again, you have created a very nice picture of my favorite performer.

[kaittttt]

Awwwe! I really like that! :D So cute!

[ChuckECheese383]

cute drawing!

im gonna be adding some more of my artwork soon!

[Larry the Tech]

That's very talented. We all draw different!

[ryhoyarbie]

I'm currently working on a drawing of the characters on the main middle stage. It's not that cartoony like some of the others around here, but then again I was trying to do a lifelike drawing.

[lildook]

Can anyone draw me a sexy mitzi for me? I want her to be standing, looking seductive, stunning, gorgeous eyes, big *its, big %ss mini skirt and still keep the M on her shirt... ?? Someone contact me if you think you can do this for me...

Very Very similar to the mitzi Kaitt drew up top there.. But I can't get a hold of Kaitt so...

I would like to see if Queenie Fox of the Wolf Pack 5 was a cheerleader like RAE's Mitzi!

I would like to see if Queenie Fox of the Wolf Pack 5 was a cheerleader like RAE's Mitzi!

I'll have to do that one!

Meanwhile, I have some fanart, but no clue how to post pictures. Help?

You upload the picture you want to post here to an image host, then you paste it using the [ i m g ] [ / i m g ] code, no spaces.

[Charon the Sabercat]

Got it!
This was my first try at Mitzi, no reference while drawing. Duke's back there too, being all goo-goo eyed. Eventually I'm gonna ink her in and color her in Photoshop.

Any suggestions?

For a first try without reference, that's a good picture of Mitzi (to me at least she's quite hard to draw right). I really love Dook in the background. I'll enjoy seeing this colored.

[Charon the Sabercat]

This is another one, though I'm not as proud of him as I am of Mitzi and Dook. It's Billy Bob and Looney Bird. Billy Bob had no reference, obviously (notice the lack of tooth). Looney Bird was an add-on about a day after I finished Billy Bob; I DID get a reference for him. I don't plan to color this one.

Where's the pizza if there's a roast beef sandwich?

[Charon the Sabercat]

Pizza's harder to draw.

[Charon the Sabercat]

I'm back, and I colored it NOT in Photoshop, because I felt like reconnecting with my Prismacolors. So, here's Mitzi and Dook, in the spotlight.

[Larry the Tech]

Awesome drawing! I like your styleL-)

[Charon the Sabercat]

... what emoticon is that? I can't tell if it's "Number 1" or "loser".

Either way, here's more stuff. Here's Beach Bear, once again sans reference. I tried to give him shaggier head fur to make up for a lack of wig (I can't decide whether or not I like wigless Beach Bear). The original idea was that Beach Bear was meditating and hovering over his surfboard, but I never drew the surfboard.

Spiffy picture of both Billy Bob and Looney Bird. :cec_thumbs:

Well, I kept putting this off, and drew it a while ago. I was planning on coloring this before I posted it, but it'd be many a day before I got around to coloring this, so enjoy the lineart. I hope to get it colored.

Great drawing of Dook Vega III CEC!

You know, it's actually funny! I finished coloring Dook myself this afternoon.:)) (I've been working on it for a few days) I don't mind if you colored it at all. In fact, I like it! Space background is really neat, and it looks good too. I colored Dook myself with GIMP, cheek color is airbrushed on. :cec_thumbs:

Thats really cool right there Vega III CEC! I like the coloring in the cheeks. May i add a suggestion? It would be cool if you put the rest of the RAE band behind him. Then you would had to of not have Dook LaRaue at the top. But dont listen to me lol. Its you drawing.

[Larry the Tech]

Cool!!!!!!!

[CECExtravaganza]

Welp, my Beach Beach guitar came today. So i though i'd get a shot of it. Hope you like it!
http://i38.tinypic.com/t7b9rl.jpg

[Vega III CEC]

Awesome. I never knew the guitar had little stars on the neck. What're you gonna do with it? Hang it up on your wall or put it in a display case?

[CECExtravaganza]

I really have no idea lol. i should put it in a display case though.

[Larry the Tech]

Cool BB guitar!

[Charon the Sabercat]

I don't know whether or not to finish this one. I think I might've tackled too big of a challenge...

Cool beans!!!

[Charon the Sabercat]

Here's some more! Little doodles as opposed to big drawings so I can get some less-practiced characters down.

For those who can't decode my scribbles, that's Rolfe in Beach Bear's trunks, Billy Bob in Fatz's jacket, Fatz in Mitzi's uniform (lol), and an unfinished Looney Bird in Dook's spacesuit.

[Harmony Howlette]

Rolfe as Mitzi is fantastic. =))

More stuff! Originally for RAEBigC, AGAIN. (laugh) Anybody else have requests? (I'll do anybody but Beach Bear. His face is too inconsitent; I can't figure how how to draw him.)

Cool pic! Looks like it was drawn anime line art style!

[Charon the Sabercat]

I'm not actually inserting the picture, for fear of offending those with nearby little ones, but it's not that bad. It's just a "family" scene. Beach Bear asleep on the sofa, Billy Bob and Rolfe watching TV, Dook stealing Mitzi's underwear while she's in the shower, you know. Typical family stuff.

[Harmony Howlette]

Charon, I dig your stuff. The one with Mitzi and Dook holding tails is frickin' cute.
Anyways, figured I'd post a Mitzi from my sketchbook that I threw some color on today-

I'm not 100% sure if I like the shading. It looks like she killed two of the McDonald's Fry Kids for her pom-poms, haha
I really ought to draw the RAE more often!

[Charon the Sabercat]

Yippeee! More Harmony Howlette artwork is always welcome in my book! What motion! And look at her little cheeks! (pinches) I don't see any problems with the shading, personally.

[Larry the Tech]

The one of Mitzi is cute!

[triplehpotter7]

OMG, Harmony, THAT IS SO CUUUUUUUUUTE!!!! ^____________^

That just made my day. ^-^

Mitzi = <3 ^-^

Aww, thanks guys :)

True, true. Kyle's work looks more like Spumco (the company that produced Ren and Stimpy), while Harmony's looks like... well, like hers. I don't really have anything to compare it to.

He wanted a picture of the Rockafire Explosion at Smitty's... IN FRONT OF the Rockafire Explosion at Smitty's. It's the "real" band meeting their robot counterparts (notice that Dook, Mitzi, and Beach Bear are in "street" clothes).

[Charon the Sabercat]

I've been feeling very romantic lately. I've tried to draw Dook and Mitzi kissing like 50 times, but they all fell apart during the process. I'd draw their muzzles wrong, or Dook would be too tall, that sorta stuff. This is the only thing that worked.

[triplehpotter7]

That almost makes me cry 'cause it's so sweet and heartwarming. =(

[Charon the Sabercat]

Now it's in color! I decided to do one of those cliche "romantic fan arts with romantic song lyrics placed romantically in the romantic corner and blahdy blahdy blah".

If you can't read it, it's lyrics from "Islands in the Stream". DeviantArt's not letting me have the link for the full-sized one.

Everyone has some wonderful artwork on here, but I really like this recent picture in particular. Initially I wasn't too fond of Mitzi, thought she was a bit creepy! But after watching s'more vids and looking over a few more pictures, such as this one I like her right along with the rest as the gang...not as much as Fatz of course, but she's up there!

Really fabulous work everyone, can't wait to submit some of my stuff and get your opinions on it!

Oh, I think the "off" cosmetics works really well in that pic! Despite me always being a huge Mitzi fan, I always thought the purple eyeshadow and the red cheeks were both done rather muchly, over-the-top, and/or a bit too thick at times. Seeing some of the new make-up jobs on the new masks on some of these new shows is much more pleasant to see, because the make-up isn't as overdone as it was back then. I love the subtle cosmetic job in your pic. It's way more appealing. *^_^*

[Charon the Sabercat]

Okay, so, I was watching Jeff Dunham, and I was starting to wonder how Rolfe carried Earl around from show to show. It seems like he really likes Earl, and would want to keep him nearby a lot.

Then I remember that Cyberstar tape where Rolfe gushes over him like a baby...

And THEN I remember those over-the-shoulder baby-hanger things moms use. I call them Snugglies.

And then this came out.

(Rolfe's huckster hair= totally unintentional, but AWESOME.)

It’s Funny you should do a drawing featuring these two, as when I think about Rolfe and Earl I have a hard time NOT thinking of them as entirely separate entities…meaning, far as I know Earl up and hops off Rolfes' hand from time to time to flirt with Mitzi and dance and Fatzs’ keyboard while singing ‘I’m so excited’

…Cooky but true.

Wickedly cool picture though, you have a lot of astounding work in this thread, and I really look forward to seeing more. Rolfe doesn’t appear to get much attention far as fan art goes I notice, least I haven’t seen a lot of it.

[Harmony Howlette]

Charon, that's brilliant. Earl in the baby carrier is just...one of those things that needs to be seen more often, haha.
And Fatz...I've got something big planned for Rolfe...;)

You put the picture in my head, and now I've gotta draw it, or else it's gonna stick with me forever and ever and I'm gonna think "I have to tell somebody about this", except I CAN'T, because none of my immediate vicinity friends like the RAE, and GAAAAAH!

YOU, SIR!

Are awesome.

It gets funnier and funnier the more I think about it, certainly look forward to seeing your rendition of it! Heh, and thanks, I get weird ideas like that from time to time, Just the way they animated Rolfe and Earl, Earl keeps looking to me like he'll hop off and just do gosh knows what. Perhaps I just have an overactive imagination, I'm not sure *chuckles*

[Charon the Sabercat]

The Fabreeze comment especially set me off, that was hilarious, glad I could inspire such a neat piece! I'm almost tempted to try my hand at the same scene, mostly for the expressions of bewilderment on everyones faces is just priceless in my head.

[Harmony Howlette]

That is PERFECT, Charon. Seriously. THE POM POMS MAKE IT.

Well, I was going to wait until I completed a fully inked, digitally color piece to post anything, but I couldn’t wait any longer to post something. Which is why I apologize in advance it’s so rough and gritty looking, though usually my sketches always look this way before inking, and I’m still getting used to a new scanner as well.



http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v180/burlyblueberrybeast/billy.jpg


I got inspired to draw Billy Bob, who didn’t really appeal to me much until after watching the ‘Abbey Road’ Melody featured on this site. I actually watched it again before doing this, and much as the first time I got Goosebumps from an astoundingly amazing piece of animatronic artistry. I wish I could download or get that music so I could listen to it whenever, but instead I settled on simply remixing the original Beatles tracks to follow what they did, and I listened to it while drawing this.

I’ll probably think of Billy Bob every time I hear ‘Golden Slumber’, as well as Earl every time I hear ‘Mean Mr. Mustard’ (that just fit him so seamlessly.) Anyway, enough of my rambling, hope you like the pic. I do intend to ink and color it soon!

[VegaNova]

Wow, very nice drawing!! I love your interpretation of Billy Bob (and the glasses on Birthday Bird). Really cool artwork man.

Also check your PMs.... I have something you might be interested in ;)

Dude, that's AWESOME! I love your style!! Do you have an online gallery or something somewhere?

[Vega III CEC]

Dude, that's AWESOME! I love your style!! Do you have an online gallery or something somewhere?Please tell us you do. That piece, while it's Billy Bob, has an entirely new vibe given to it that you've created and I really can't wait to see this finished up and more stuff after that posted. I'm quite interested in how the other characters look in your style.

[Charon the Sabercat]

MR. FATZ GERONIMO, THAT IS BEAUTIFUL!

All that fur! I want to reach out and stroke it and scratch Billy's Bob's adorable little ears! Don't keep us waiting for more art! Your stuff is gorgeous!

[Fatz Geronimo]

Hey Gang!

Wow, didn’t expect such warm and kind responses, and VegaNova, thank you again for that pm, really made my day! I’m glad you liked the pic, I felt somewhat guilty for posting it before cleaning it up a bit, but I’m a little like Charon in when I get an idea, I have to draw and post it to make room for all the other ideas going off like little explosions in my head, otherwise I’ll loose them!

I don’t have a gallery at this time, been mulling over the idea of opening an account at deviant art for an eternity but never gotten around to it. Normally when I post work it’s on message boards for the most part, otherwise I just draw for myself or commissions I get now and again. Suppose I should get cracking on that especially if you’d all like to see more, as that’s certainly encouraging…and lord knows I have folders and folders of stuff just collecting dust right now!


MR. FATZ GERONIMO, THAT IS BEAUTIFUL!

All that fur! I want to reach out and stroke it and scratch Billy's Bob's adorable little ears! Don't keep us waiting for more art! Your stuff is gorgeous!



Aw thanks Charon, I appreciate that, yea I've always had an affinity for making fur look as 'plush' as possible. No offense to the original artists for the promotional material for RAE and Billy Bob (gosh knows I printed out alot of that stuff for reference) but they never made the characters look as furry as their animatronic counterparts. so I tried really hard to take all the little details the original RAE characters had on stage, and put them into a picture. Fatz was kind of hard, and the only reason I didn't show him first over Billy was because I'm not completely satisfied with how he looks yet.

But no worries folks, I'll get to finishing BB here, and hopefully post some more work soon. I'm actually hoping to draw Beach bear and Rolfe and Earl next, and been scooping up alot of reference for them...hopefully when I've got it all printed and complied someplace I won't need to do this again. One thing I hate most about drawing is collecting and printing reference...but there's alot of good pics on here so it makes it fun.


Thanks again everyone!

Oooookay, forgive the double post in advance, but after the warm reception the first pic I posted got, I felt inspired to hurry things along and draw a second a bit sooner then planned. Fortunately I had a good chuck of today free, and I desperately needed a break from my few commissions I’m working on (digital inking and coloring can be so tedious at times) I did this pic of beach bear.

Now, while I’ve seen very little of beach bear in action (he hardly ever sings and is rarely the focus in videos it seems), he instantly strikes me as a sort of mellow, laid back 50’s beach bum that makes me think of ‘beach boys’ music whenever I see him. Now, admittedly I’m not much of a beach boys fan (mom got one of their cds once and listened to it nonstop for ages, by the third ‘round of classic recordings I came close to ripping out the cd and chucking it out the window.) But I do like a handful of their songs, and ‘Don’t worry baby’ has to be my ultimate fav, and to me that song fits BB perfectly.

Anyway, hope you like him, and hopefully that’ll pacify your interest a little while longer until I can get some more drawn, and fully ink and color the rest!

Your art feels familiar (in a good way!), but I can't put my finger on it. Maybe it's because it reminds me alot of the 'official' RAE art although yours is about 10 times more pleasant and appealing to look at than most of that stuff :) Or maybe you've posted some other non-RAE stuff somewhere else and I've seen it? Either way, FABULOUS.
I LOVE the Beach Bear one. Like, alot. The detail with the waves and his face and everything. It's awesome. AHH.
YES. Open a DA account and let us know when you do so I can add you to my watchlist on there!!!

[triplehpotter7]

WOW! Billy Bob and Beach Bear look AMAZING, man! =D That is some TOTALLY phenomenal artwork! =D I'd really like to see how well you can make Mitzi look. =D *^_^*

And to comment on something you said earlier, about how the RAE's rendition of "Abbey Road" gave you goosebumps... seriously, for me, anytime the RAE performs a song, it's gotta give me those goosebumps or else it just doesn't interest me. I can't just hear it. I have to feel it. With the RAE, the songs they perform have to feel right. They're not just any ol' band covering a song... this is childhood regalia that barely exists these days. They're like a fine aged wine that's so rare to experience in the world through the here and now. They're something to be cherished... something that just everyone who's loved them must feel.

Great drawing of Beach Bear!

I stand by my previous statement that you are awesome, sir! Beach Bear feels like an actual BEAR in this picture. Look at those CLAWS! And, as always, the fur is thick and luscious!

Mostly, though, I just keep thinking to myself "Why'd you make us wait?! THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL!" Gorgeous gorgeous GORGEOUS work! I can't wait to see how you do Rolfe!

Well I do get around admittedly *chuckles* I have a lot of interests and roam quite a few message boards, so my art pops up a lot now and again (though not nearly as much as I'd like it too.

I'm glad you approve of the waves, I actually felt I had a bit of trouble capturing the 'look' of the waves, had to sift through a few comic books to see how they did it and I still don't feel like I did it right! But fixing can come with the inking. Oh and when I do get around to opening that account, I'll be sure to let you guys know!

Thank you! Funny you should mention Mitzi as I actually had an idea of how to draw her yesterday (another 'Abbey road' brainstorm I guess since that was running through my head all day.) The only one I haven't really had any thoughts on was Dook, I mean I'm eventually going to draw everybody but I haven't had any ideas for him yet.

I get what you're saying about feeling their music as well, I've liked a lot of what I've seen of RAE vids, be they cyberstar or home movies, but not all of it really moves me. Unfortunately I don't really have any childhood memories of RAE to associate with the feelings I receive, so for me it's all kind of new, yet it still makes me feel rather nostalgic.

*Grins* As always I appreciate your kind words, I actually can't wait to see how Rolfe turns out as well since when i was a kid, I really liked wolves. I still do actually, but they just totally fascinated me back then, in comics and pictures and cartoons, EVERYTHING of what I used to draw was usually a wolf!

Hopefully I'll get him up soon, but gotta finish these guys first!

You're going ahead and greenlighting a DA account? Sweet! As soon as you post your username you'll be added to my watchlist. I too can't wait to see Rolfe and Earl and how they turn out.

[Charon the Sabercat]

Lookit! I looked up how to do fur on Photoshop! Look forward to fluffy animatronics from here on out!

(Yes, I know they're on a CLOUD in SPACE, space is just easier to draw than, like, sand and waves or a sofa or something like that.)

That's a good drawing!

[zeekeroo]

Awesome fur!
Space, LOL=))

[Fatz Geronimo]

Another fantastic work, I really like how you colored this one, and the added touch of the fur was really well executed, that's something I've never really experimented with yet myself. Really marvelous, can't wait to see what you'll do next as always!

[Charon the Sabercat]

IT'S LATE.
I'M TIRED.
IT'S STILL NOT DONE. (pass out) Dang it...
But here's something, at least...

The entire band under the same roof? I SMELL A SITCOM...:->

[Fatz Geronimo]

HaHa, pretty cool, Charon, I like how you include Fatz in your pics alot, he doesn't get nearly enough attention in artwork it seems. But then again I can never get enough of him/ Great coloring and position of the characters, I like how you included everyone in their own little 'niche' in the scene, despite that they're not the focus of it. Really cool.

[zeekeroo]

Awesome drawing!

[junebug09az]

Dook took Mitzi's bra! lol

[Larry the Tech]

Haha nice!

[Charon the Sabercat]

Dook took Mitzi's bra! lol

AND her underwear! Look, it's in his teeth!

(Based on personal experience. My dog LOVES to steal underwear out of the dirty clothes bin, he's addicted to it.)

Did anyone do Halloween related RAE fan art yet?

[Harmony Howlette]

Did anyone do Halloween related RAE fan art yet?
I've got something in the works. It might take a little while though...but hopefully it'll be worth the effort.

[Charon the Sabercat]

Okay, I promised myself I would do original stuff, but the RAE kept calling me back, and LOUD.

Included is the promo photo of Dook's original clothes so A( new fans will know why he's not in a space suit, B( Photoshop users will know how much effort I put into making his shirt look like his shirt!

[Harmony Howlette]

That is awesome! Love the shirt, plaid is really tricky...I usually cheat and use a texture ;)
I do alot of original stuff too, but fanart's never hurt anyone...in fact, I love to draw other people's characters to warm up :)

[Larry the Tech]

Nice work Charon!

[Vega III CEC]

He look Irish in the photo of the animatronic, lol. The detail on Dook's shirt is well done. It took hours I bet.

[zeekeroo]

What is it with Dook & Mitzi? I mean come on! Mitzi was a young girl/teenager and isn't Dook an adult? This has been bothering me ever since soembody did math and realized he was at least 40.

Yeah, that was me. Unfortunately, I already had Dook and Mitzi as a pairing in my head when I found out that bit of information, and it kinda won't leave now. (Besides, Dook would be at MOST 40, at LEAST 35, I double-checked my original post.)

And I agree with your concerns. Every now and then my mind goes "... she's, like, 16!" and I go "Oh, yeah, ew", but I can't stop drawing them! That and Fechter paired them up a lot in the Cyberstar showtapes...

But that's another post for another time. I'll sum it up with: They're cute, they're not real, and they're animals, so why the heck not?
