Silver S' Octopus Lair

[Silver S]

This place needs a little more octopus. So here it is. Fan art of the good doctor - because even villains need loving. :D

I suppose this first one here doesn't count as art; all I did was scribble on a milk moustache and add text. Oh well.

And if Ock and Spidey were the same age in kindergarten:

That's that for now. :p

[web_head83]

Thank you. I think I'm going to keep up the doodles of little Otto and Spidey. They're insanely fun to do.

[Venom Drool]

GJ...like your art...kinda looks like Year One...when Ock was a kid

On a final note

Venom

[<Mr.Spider>]

totally awsome dude ..keep it up

[Jack Rabbit]

LMAO!

Great stuff!

[Shampoo!]

a round of applause to mr. silver s...

and then i must ask, got a small love affair going on with Alfred Molina? just reminds me of QB and his love for Jude Law

[Silver S]

Just to add a ray of revelation here - I'm actually a Ms. Silver S. Hopefully this answers your question, bob. :)

[Nicklogic]

yay. Lair of Silver S' goodness.

Awesome Ock pictures..

[The Kryptonian]

All your work is fantastic but the kiddy comic is the best.

[DarkKnightJRK]

Your Spider-Kid comics are funny as hell. Maybe we could see more kid versions of Spidey characters? Imagine a kid Green Goblin. :D

[Atrax robustus]

Dude those comics are AMAZING!

The huomour is fantastic and its a kid parody of the real comics.

Keep em up, theyre BRILLIANT!

[Silver S]

lol - glad you all like them. Hey, adding some more characters like GG could make for some really fun storylines - I'll have to see about that.

[Nicklogic]

Silver, do me a favor.

Draw out a front view, side view, and above view of lil' Ock for me. And draw out a few emotions too :) please? : hands you a nickel:

[Nicklogic]

i'll use alot of the emotions in that last one, actually. But you like drawing him anyways, so do as much as you'd like :D

[Silver S]

What are we talking about here? You mean adult Ock or kiddie Ock? And how realistic?

[Nicklogic]

kiddie ock, screw realism. The cartoony one rocks :)

[Archangel]

I love his facial expression when he's imagining getting the oreo's.

These are great, keep it up. :D

[Underdawg]

I made photo-comics and posted them here (http://www.superherohype.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=121162), I'm thinking that's as close as I'll get to film. :)

[Nicklogic]

I would be your film guy ;) I'm going to work on making lil' Ock into a 3D character since I know Silver S pretty well.

The trick is going to be the tentacles :)but i can do it.

[Silver S]

http://img37.photobucket.com/albums/v115/SilverSehkmet/boygenius2.jpg

[thelizrd17]

Wow. :eek: Your art is great Sliver! LMAO, the kindergarten comic is hillarious. :D

[Phoney Bone]

"Fatty-Fat-Fat"

Who hasn't lived to see Spidey say that?

[Sandman138]

I can see these Spider-Kid comics animated and the guy who does Dexter voicing Otto.

[PurplePenisPrancer]

And Spidey could be Billy from that grim adventure blah blah blah

[Sandman138]

nah... that's too much. Spidey should be voiced by the guy who does Beast Boy on Teen Titans.

[Démon]

You are an excellent cartoonist, Silver, and your art of Molina and adult Ock is awesome.

You should have the Juggernaut guest star in your comics as the big bully-type.

Thank you. :) And that's a good idea. I've been thinking of putting GG in there somewhere too, but I want to make sure their personalities are appropriate for the situation first.

Kind of reminds me of Dexter's Lab :D

[Joker]

A thought came to mind of how even though the characters i'm making are used for animation, I could do still frame comics too :D

ah, looks don't matter. unless a girl looks like a troll that lives under a bridge... eating children... i knew a girl like that... no amount of artistic skill, geekiness, or good personality could make her attractive

but anyways. Silver S does have a wicked cool sense of humor and is one damn fine artist.
hmmmmm

[Darkphoenix]

I think you guys scared her off. So...Silver, My place or yours?

[Nicklogic]

mine. ;)

[Silver S]

I know it must be a great shock to your systems to see that a girl is interested in comics AND draws too. :)

Aw come on, I'm just playing. More comics are on the way. I'm seriously considering doing a lot of these...and then seeing what Marvel might have to say about the strip. We'll see, eh?

Not a shock to me, my girlfriend has a love for drawing and comics.

And me, of course. But that goes without saying.:o


And give coolius a chance.:mad: He's the roxor. He even colored a ****ty drawing by a ****ty artist such as myself. He's a cool guy.:up:

I've seen Darth Coolius' art. He's got some really good stuff.

[BlindSamurai]

Those are some awsome comics, i would love to see an eddie thing pop up... you know, see where it leads :venom:

[Silver S]

I've got a few story ideas for Green Goblin, an appearance by Sandman that's purely tongue in cheek, and one for Eddie Brock, but I have to think of a way to work them into the story.

[BlindSamurai]

Nice, btw, who is that sitting on the lamp in the self portrit? The smoking one...

[Silver S]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v115/SilverSehkmet/boygeniuscover.jpg

A cover for the comics just because I think it could use one. And a disclaimer so Marvel won't sue me. :(

[BlindSamurai]

lol, rich, you should really think about going somwhere with this, its good stuff, not usual fan art board stuff ya know? You have talent.

[Silver S]

Thank you for thinking so - I actually hope that when I get fifty or so of these comics done, I will ship them off to Marvel. Just to see what they think, if anything at all.

[Nicklogic]

more lil Ock :)

Genuis, so oyu never told me who the smoking person was sitting on your lamp...looks like raiden, hmmm, i doubt it though, how many of these you got? I think im gunna print them out and show my cuisin, big spider man fan, with your permision that is. And no worries, ill give credit where credits due.

That guy with the hat and the cig is a character I created eons ago and haven't really developed much since, sadly. :\ I should get back on that. His name is Moose and he's a warrior monk. Kind of an oxymoron, that is.

And please, if you like the boy genius comics, feel free to share with anyone who you think would dig them (proper credit is of course important :)).

Excellent work as usual. You should be a professional cartoonist if you aren't one already.

[BlindSamurai]

It has to be the eyes, thats what makes your kid comics so funny, Spider Mans eyes, keep it up, are you making these as we go? Are do you have them drawn already? Becouse if its the former than you are really really fast. Still waiting for the symbiote cameo, ill be happy if thats all i get, my cuisins going to love these.

[BlindSamurai]

I was looking back at these post, and i have a question, is that you sitting besides doc ock looking at the porn? And if so, who is that above you? Asking a question, your art confuses me. =p

[BlindSamurai]

Ok this is, well a pretty crappy concept of what a venom would look like in your comic, its not great, i just want to see your take on venom :D

I make this up as I go. Hahah. Spontaneity is sometimes the best way to go. If I think about something for too long it loses whatever it is that gives it the funny. I've got an idea for Eddie. But I've got to finish this bit with Otto and his new 'equipment'.

If this weren't about kids that last sentence might have sounded dirty. :eek:

[suicideking15]

and you can STRESS who the REAL main character is :cough Otto cough: :D

[spideyboy_1111]

these are friggin awsome... i wanna see some other classic characters and villains to! it would be so sweet to see connors, norman, harry, eddie brock, max dillon, adrian tombs, mac gargan, john jameson, wilson fisk, william baker, quentin beck, felicia hardy, gwen stacey, Sergei kravinoff , dimitri Smerdyakov,
cletus cassidy, rodrick kingsly ,morrie bench , miles warren, Michael Morbius, and Alex O'Hirn

[Démon]

Isn't Alex O'Hirn a made up name? Because I remember reading the Rhino's real name and it's a long, Russian one.

Oh, and good luck with Marvel, Silver. Let's hope they show some sense and recognize talent when they see it.

[spideyboy_1111]

Good web-weaving gosh!
I have just checked this thread for the first time, and it is by far my favorite one.
There is some amazing stuff on this board, but this is definitely the very best, Jennifer!

The drawings on the first page were very good, but your talent really shines in the Boy Genius comic.

- genuine talent: simple design, very clear and efficient; lots of emotions, whether through Spidey's mask (having him always in mask is quite funny), Ock's glasses, or the tentacle's attitude (and snarls and hisses)

- wonderful humor & writing: characterization (you've given them much personality, and this only within a few comics!-- new, lovable personalities), staging, setting up the gags, details; truly hilarious moments, sweet touches

- very good dialogue : it flows nicely, sounds perfectly natural, and there are lots of funny bits

- great concept, well carried-out: it's odd Marvel / DC et al haven't done such comics yet; I'm afraid they will just steal your idea


Whatever success you meet with will be highly deserved. :)

Thank you for such an indepth response! :) And I'm glad you like it, I'm definitely going to send these into Marvel when I've got a good collection to see what they've got to say.:D

oh jeez, Watterson was an absolute GENIUS! (couldn't have picked a better comic strip to find inspiration from). I am obsessed with his work. Do you have his latest book? I've only seen it once and sadly did not have the $ to buy it :( It was some "behind the scenes" type book with concept sketchs and such.

I've been reading Calvin and Hobbes since before I understood what a majority of his strips were about way back in grade school. :) Calvin's expressions and Watterson's ability to time a good joke is amazingly well done, and I've learned some things from his work.

yeah, i'm in college and i've been reading his work since i was in 4th grade. I'll tell you, reading Calvin and Hobbes (then running to the dictionary to understand the strip) helpped me thru English back in the day!

yeah, i saw this latest book a year ago at a "super" borders book store i went to. But i havent seen it since and can't remember the title

EDIT: I changed the last panel. I think it works better visually than the other version.

[kritic]

hahaha it's still great

[Dark Carnage]

It's fine. :up: Though in the end panel I would have had Spidey doing the spilts (or something) trying to avoid on coming lamp posts, mail boxes, etc.

How do you do this, I would have run out of ideas by now.

Yes, that last panel irks me too.

I've got quite a few more ideas up my sleeve, whether or not they 'work' is another story. :)

[kritic]

Yeah, maybe work on the last panel, adda roof? Make his hat flying off, and some wind...his backpack looked like an arm for a second there.

[Phoney Bone]

God, that's great.

I love his expression and body language in the 4th panel.


"SECOND VERSE, SAME AS THE FIRST!"

[Olivier]

Funny how you've turned young Spidey into this sort of whacky, feather-brained character-- taking his wise-cracking attitude to the extreme. It does make for a heck of a lot of humor-- this, and having me always in his mask, which makes him really weird, and helps playing him off Ock's straight character.
The tentacles are great too-- the one taking a cookie in the bag! :D
I'd be curious (make that: eager) to see your take on young Goblin or even a young, brooding Batman (in the same strip)

Note:
You may have made a big mistake starting to post these here, Jennifer: now we've got a taste of it, we want more, always more, and you won't have a second's rest for now on! drawdrawdrawdrawdraw! moremoremoremoremore! :D

Hey, Silver, come up with any ideas regarding Juggernaut yet?

[Silver S]

Hi guys. You're all closet admirers of Doc Ock, aren't you? ;)

I'm glad these tickle your funny bone. I've got some ideas about GG and why he's so crazy, and a one time gag for King Pin. My main problem? I'm afraid I don't know much about characters like Juggernaut or Batman, at least, not enough to dig out qualities that I like about them to completely blow out of proportion into a comic strip.

Spidey, for example. I take all his joking and that heart of gold and expand on it. Otto is a big brain, and lets his companions know it too, but yet he's still a little kid. GG, well, I've got an idea for him, and I do believe it's going to be a love it\hate it response with how I handle him. :)

I do think there is a lot of potention for more interaction with just Spidey and Otto, too, so I'm in no rush to take on more than I can chew.

[spideyboy_1111]

id keep it just spidey characters, allies, and villains if i were u... dont mix in other marvel or non marvel characters...

[Drakon]

A-HEM!!

Im not gonna go the obvious Geek Fanboy Love path here. IMO, you are a female, but your art has no gender.

On the Comic-
Admittedly, I laughed my one legged arse off on most of them. But I think the overall style is where it really makes it funny. And the jokes just REALLY bring it home.

On the rest
Some of the better stuff Ive seen in a long time. About the ONLY thing that really bothered me a bit was the MILK one. You didnt capitialize the M in "Spider-Man"

[phoenix_pae]

looking forward to more

[nosebleed.]

I'm going to start a comic of otto and pete as old men looking at 18 year old girls. 24/7 nonstop...yupe...it's going to be hilarious...and only I will laugh.

Sure, there's no rush indeed. Just enthusiasm on our part. Better have two well-defined characters than a host of cameos.

Maybe you could send your work to a major comics magazine. You might have more chances than with Marvel, and it would be better suited.

The key word for Batman: brood.

I know it's for marvel characters and all, but, the thought of a kid version of Batman is just hilarious, in my opinion.

Just Spidey trying to make Batman crack a smile will be just fan-freakin'-tastic (at least to me, because I'm a Batman nut. :D).

[Olivier]

I have no problem with only those two characters.
Idiotic as it was, I stated I would like to see how she would handle a young Batman, but I'm not giving orders or strongly wishing that.

Of course, the strip is perfect as it is.
Of course, Jennifer should keep doing only those two characters until she feels comfortable with them and has another good idea for a character
Of course I was not idotically dictating her to add another character.

I meant it as "that would be funy" or "I wish I were you (talent and all), because I would like to do this with that character".

Reading her strip and replies here, I think Jennifer is intelligent enough to understand this and to do whatever she likes, and defeinitely not an "idiot" than might take such wishful thinking and "propositions" from "a million idiots" as so many orders.

did i say "Oliver, stop being an idiot"? no. why is it, that any time i make a post like this, people go "i didn't do it!" as if i was attacking that individual. i was pointing out that fans (in this thread and others) will often suggest something, and if the artist says "nah, not feeling it" the fan then tries to convince the artist to do it anyways. "but! it would be so cool! LOL!"

so this is how it goes. as for my last post, if you are someone who makes a suggestion, and then the artist says "no" and you then keep suggesting it, then that post applies to you and you are an idiot. if you suggested something, the artist said "no" and you said "okie dokie, you're the artist here!" then the post doesn't apply to you and you can stop taking it as a personal attack on you.

but you're right Oliver. that entire post was about you.

[Olivier]

I may have overreacted, but since I remembered I may have been the first to make a comment of the "having x in it would be funny", I did take it personally, especially being a newbie here.
And being waken up early by some stupid phone call when you literally spend nights working certainly doesn't help.
Checking the previous pages, I see I even said it was better to have two good characters than a bad bunch of guest stars. I could have been clearer on my "suggestion" though.

Sorry.

i was bored and after i posted i skimmed the thread and noticed you WERE one of the people to make a suggestion and leave it at that (not pushing your suggestion further), and then later encouraged Silver to do what she wants. and that's cool. i had no problem with you, rest assured.

and overreactions occur.

besides, i speak more from experience than anything else. nothing's more annoying that a persistent request for something you don't care to draw, and i've had too many persistent morons who can't take a hint.

You know why I love drawing Otto as a little kid? Because it's absurd to imagine him as a little kid, with his tentacles already, sitting in school with a boy who insists on wearing his Spider- Man costume to class. It completely craps on any semblance of continuity and logic, and I like it.

And the absurdity shall continue. :) And go on with your bad self and multiple orificed women. :p

Thanks, Bob. It does get overwhelming, for one big reason:

As an artist with a strip that entertains people (for whatever reason) I want to give people what they want so they'll still be interested. But the minute you start throwing in what everyone suggests, you lose what it was you liked about the whole thing to begin with. That and as we all know so well, you can't please everyone.

Not to say I don't like feedback or suggestions - I do. But I really don't want to try putting in other characters if I don't know how to bring out the qualities that would make them amusing in the strip.

I suck at trying to explain stuff. :(

[Silver S]

anyways, i'm going to stop spamming this thread with my long winded crap.

i think the swing set comic is my favorite of them all. with the pacing at the end after the kids go inside. cheers!
