Goop Monster

This is a character concept for another book that only exists in my head at the moment.

When I was a kid I would sometimes experiment with things in the kitchen, playing mad scientist with whatever ingredients I could find. My kids do the same thing occasionally. The story, as it exists in my head, is about a kid whose experiment in the kitchen goes awry, resulting in a goop monster that begins eating everything in sight - growing larger all the while.

Duck

I don't know why, but it seems that all the creators of cartoon animals feel it's necessary to use alliteration when naming their characters. We have Donald Duck, Daffy Duck, Mickey Mouse, Porky Pig, Bugs Bunny, etc...

This is Clarence...

... I'm such a rebel.

Tiptoe - Color

This post marks my 100th doodle! It's hard to believe I've made it this far, considering when I started this I wasn't sure I'd even last a week. Only 265 more to go!

This is a color version of my original Tiptoe sketch. I was really happy with the original, so I wanted to do something a little more detailed. I used the same parchment texture for the background that I did on the Alien Bug sketch. I'm pretty pleased with the results.

Spellbook

Just watched the made-for-tv film adaptation of Terry Pratchett's The Colour of Magic. I always liked his idea of the books in the library at Unseen University that had to be chained down to keep them from escaping.

Oh, and I wasn't terribly impressed with the movie. There were aspects that I liked, but I just think it wasn't well-cast. As much as I like Sean Astin, I never pictured him as Twoflower. I've never been a big Tim Curry fan. I think Jeremy Irons was a good choice for the Patrician, but what was up with the lisp? The Patrician is supposed to be this cold, calculating ruler. It just didn't do it for me. I did like the casting of David Jason as Rincewind (though I'd never heard of him before seeing the movie). And, of course, Christopher Lee is one of the best choices as the voice of Death - that deep baritone is about how I've always imagined it when reading the Discworld books. All-in-all I preferred the adaptation of Hogfather.

This came out a little darker than I had intended.
