This is a double page sketch I did while watching Beth play indoor soccer the other day. I like the team of One Eyed Yeti's.

Darfur Child


This is a water colour and ink sketch I did based on a photo from a Save Darfur brochure. The image was just a child against a white background. I thought is was simple and powerful. I tried to capture the child expression as best I could. In the end my image looks angrier than the photo which has the child looking more confused and hurt. I'm not quite sure which is more appropriate.

Oh...My...Gawd!!!


I sketched this at work the other day and took about another three days on my off time to colour him. Not keen on the gradient background but I thought I'd show you anyway a few more changes to make but I'm happy with his posture and expression. A little back story so you'll understand why a Zombie would be so excited and shouting Oh...My...Gawd!!! is that his BFF (best friend forever) (I find that funny because both characters can't die so they literally might be best friends forever) SexBot Dot 3545 tells him that she and the professor are an item and he just can't believe it. So he shout out to the world "What Happened"... I mean Oh...My...Gawd!!!

Timmytron and the Brain



These are a couple of conceptual sketches for two more characters from space quest you won't see them on stage one is the talented musician Tim Cranwill and the Other you have already seen. This is the first sketch of Randy apostles space quest avatar 'The Brain' you can actually see him holding a pen with his tail in this one.
I have had a lot of fun doing these. So much fun you may see a Space Quest animation in the future. Maybe...

The Brain


The Director of Space Quest is Randy Apostle and here is my interpretation of what he might look like if he were a character. He writes using his telescopic tail. In real life he just sits in a chair. I thought this was cooler.

Milk


Actor: Scott Cranwill

Though Little is Known about Milk's origins, his reputation is wide spread across the Galaxies. After being abandoned as a child on the hostile planet Turmaline. Milk was discovered years later living on his own and completely self sufficient. Having developed an advanced mining system, Milk not only amassed a fortune enslaving the native species who toiled in his vapour mines, but also caught the eye of the infamous Black Hand. Recognizing Milk's keen mind, and cunning tactics as useful tools in his plans for universal domination, Black Hand took young Milk on as an apprentice. It is during this time Milk earned the title of "Evil Genius", traveling the span of the universe, and overseeing many of the Black Hand's most secret operations. For reasons unknown, their partnership would come to an abrupt end sometime later, with Milk being left for dead, abandoned yet again on an uncharted planet in the outer rim. It is there that Professor George Smith found him, and after nursing him back to health, recruiting him as a member of the SpaceQuest team.

Spook


Actor: Peter Nadolny

A.K.A. Wellington J. Farnsworth Spookingdorf III
Spook is a deathly mess of teeth, sinew and bones who cannot be killed. he is a Zombie of intellect, trying to sate his never ending hunger for flesh, marrow and braaaaaaiiins... Used as the team shield while on assignment, Spook dutifully soldiers for right, justice, humanity (Unless he is really really hungry). The only weakness this devouring monster has is the heart he wears on his sleeve. No, not the one he keeps there as a snack, but the metaphorical one that gets stomped so easily. You can tear of his limbs, stomp on his face, and zap him with a thousand ray guns, but the only tear you will see come from his eye will be one caused by his poor, breaking heart.
