Epic! Is it a giant badger ridden by a normal-sized child? A normal-sized badger ridden by a very small child? The world may never know!
I was worried about the fur, but it turned out that the metal was more my undoing. Also, my weak understanding of badger anatomy. On the whole, though, Kim is happy.

See Mike’s truly “epic” mount here. Next week: MST3k episode titles!
True story: When I suggested this theme for the week, I was thinking I’d do something girly and innocent to offset last week’s leather wonder.
But then I found a picture of a 1920s motorcycle. A beautiful, beautiful 1920s motorcycle.
So, yeah.
For those who’ve known me online, no, I didn’t just title this picture after my former-and-sometimes-current online name. It’s actually called an Ace. Eeee.
Here’s Mike’s shot for the week. Movie poster ahoy.
Next challenge, as selected by Mike: Epic Mounts!
Through some bizarre twist of fate, my friend/summer roommate Mike and I ended up with the same co-op job – drawing cartoony kids and animals for Junior Jetsetters. Because this is kind of outside our own, normal styles we decided we’d do a weekly challenge, for kicks and portfolio pieces. This was the first challenge and, although he doesn’t know it, it’s all Jesse’s fault. Really.
It’s weird for me to draw something so unabashedly sexy; that’s usually not my thing. But every once in a while, it’s nice to make friends with the tropes I usually battle against and just do something fun.
Oh, and the eyes? Well, if I didn’t bite the trope that feeds me and try to subvert at least a LITTLE, well, I wouldn’t be me.
Check out Mike’s shot here. It’s a bit NSFW. Week 2 challenge? The 1920’s! GO!
I’ve been promising my animation for how long now?
The music is the song F Train by David Usher, and I really wish I could have done the whole thing because it’s such a beautiful song.
(Fun fact: The guy in the video isn’t really supposed to BE David Usher, but I can’t deny the influence.)
While I’m iffy at best on how I feel about the animation as a whole, I’m really proud of a lot of the images I did for it. So since they’re tiny and go by in 0.2 seconds, here they are bigger, for your enjoyment and my own validation. Think of ‘em as bonus features. Some of these were based, loosely or heavily, on people I’ve actually drawn on the subway or the GO train or the like.
Something late and thoroughly ridiculous for that meme. Probably can’t submit it now, even though I drew this like the day the meme started… I just finished inking it today, because I’m, uh… I believe the word is slow.
Yeah, it’s… silly. The ink style might look like it came outta nowhere, but that’s only because I haven’t uploaded my end-of-the-year animation yet. Did I mention I’m slow?
