Mattchew's Fanart Thread...

[Mattchew]

Well, I'm not the biggest Ghost Rider fan (not that I have any feelings on the character... I just have never read a single comic featuring him).

So in my boredom during the extra-long Feb contest, I decided to do some pics of cartoon characters, as to leave fresh options open during months I want to do the contest.

I was trying to think of some kicka$$ 80's cartoon to do something from, but I kept coming back to Ursula from 'The Little Mermaid' because I've always loved that character design more than maybe any other Disney Character design.

I may still do something from ThunderCats or something this month if I find the time, but as it stands, here's my take on a drunken Ursula...

I realize this isn't LittleMermaidHype, but let me know what you think, none the less.

So I decided it would be fun to do redesigns of the Thundercats, making them all younger and more modern looking (in dress).

I'm gonna do the heads of all of them, then add the bodies, and finally throw all of them together in a single group image...

I started with their leader... My take on a teen Lion-O:

Let me know what you think... Thanks!

Here's the second of the the Thundercat heads I'm doing...

This is my take on a young Cheetara...

Let me know what you think!

it's so ironic that this movie was on tv when i got up this morning. right at the part about the wire hangers lol

that part made me laugh even though i felt kinda bad about it. dunaway played the part perfect.

so this is my fave of all

Oddly enough, I knew the girl that played the daughter

When she was younger or older? The older version of the daughter is now on 'Lost'... which means 'Lost' just turned into a situation comedy for me.

So, here's another of the Thundercat heads, Panthro....

I love em!! I want em as t-shirts!! [everywhere i wear my thundercats t-shirt (cool) people always say "wow cool t-shirt" but their eyes would fall out of their heads if i had those as t-shirts]--i hope u do the logo too!!

 

[Juggertha]

Cool style.

 

[Mattchew]

So here's the first complete body of one of the Thundercats: Cheetara...

As I said before, I'm gonna do them all and in the end do a big group shot, so this is one down I suppose.

Let me know what you think!

Thanks! I am planning to do all of them as full bodies, not just the one's I've done heads for so far. I'm busy as he|| right now though, so it will take a while, but over time i'll get it done! check back and let me know what you think, if you get a chance!

 

[Mattchew]

In my attempt to waste time until 'Battlestar Galactica' comes on, I decided to finish up another one of these Thundercat bodies...

This time, obviously, Lion-o:

Let me know what you think!

[Mattchew]

just as a thought... I started doing the thundercats, not realizing I wsa gonna have to do Snarf at some point... Im kinda putting it off.

 

[PhoenixRisen]

He looks AWESOME!! i cant wait to see the rest (and ur take on the logo too hehe, i love the logo i dont know why)

 

[Mr Kris]

How about Christopher Walken in a Snarf costume instead? Great work so far!

 

[Mattchew]

Departing a bit from my more recent stuff...

I had to enter the fanart contest this month (March), as the theme was too good to pass up.

The this is to design a costume for a character from 'Heroes'.

I was torn between doing something with Either Claire or Nikki/Jessica, but in the end, I decided to do Jessica, since healing isn't so easy to capture in a still image.

Here's my take on Jessica (Nikki's in a mirror somewhere):

Let me know what you think!

[Deep Thinkin'!]

Oh wow! These are awesome! I would love to see you do a Wolverine one.

I have NEVER drawn wolverine... so I guess I have to at some point.

PS: Thanks!

 

[Mattchew]

well, deep_thinkin suggested I do a wolverine pic, and as I've never even doodled him, I thought I'd give it a go...

I realized very quickly his head is a b!tch to draw, but here's the final result...

Let me know what you think!
