I'm recycling an older drawing for this week's #SundayFishSketch of rare fishes.  I made this after reading JLB Smith's Old Four Legs and learning that the movie The Creature of The Black Lagoon was inspired by the rediscovery of the coelacanth. I liked picturing them as related and would swim together, if they were in that part of the world together, that is. 

I did make prints and have some left if interested.

Hodge

 

A few posts back I did a sketch of Tyrian from the movie Dragonslayer and have now done so with the character of Hodge, played by Sydney Bromley. There's a bunch of interesting characters to draw from this flick!

This week's theme for #SundayFishSketch are flying fish. Here's two.

 

Q Is For Qui-Gon...

 

Maybe 'found the vergence' should be in quotes, as it came down to a fixed roll of the die. 

Anyway, this is the next letter from my unpublished Star Wars A-Z book. It's a long shot as to if it will ever be picked up and published, which I knew going in, but thought I'd show them.

A Tyrian Sketch

 

No, not that Tyrian, the other one, the first one, the one from the movie Dragonslayer (1981). I always thought that the actor, John Hallam, had very menacing eyes that were perfect for the role of Tyrian. And a voice fit for a Rankin/Bass Production. Still... menacing. 

Peter MacNicol may be embarrassed by this film, but I have always felt that it's a great fantasy movie that has held up well. I love everything about it, the actors, the setting, the costuming, the effects, everything. 

Bruce Vs Bruce Sketch

This week's #SundayFishSketch are fish that we would like to see competing, or fighting in a Super Bowl type match-up, so you get a Bruce drawing another Bruce Vs another Bruce.

P Is For Princess Leia...

 

P is for Princess Leia

who had buns in her hair.

Hey... I needed something to rhyme with 'lair.' So, have a little compassion for my mad writing skills, ok? 

This one is actually the second drawing that I did for the letter 'P.' My first rendition was sorely lacking in capturing a better essence of Leia, so it had to be fixed. I even had some art direction for this one from an art director. Hence, it's better than it was.
