Three sets from upcoming Tamino posts. I'm slowly getting to the end of this. I wish I had more time and less to do. I imagine this is something said by actual commercial artists all the time. Still, there is progress.

Got this in email a few days ago. I was approached via email by the editor of an online Russian gaming magazine to have Tamino featured in an upcoming issue. They apparently highlight various web comics each time. I have no idea how they found me but it was really cool to be written up this way. I can't read it but someone online translated it for me as best they could. Apparently it says;

"1/3 Japanese prints, 1/3 fifties cartoons, 1/3 Cubism" writes the author about his comic strip, and I'm sorry, but there's not a better way to say it -- at least when it comes to the art style. And the content brings to mind the works of David Lynch. Tamino, a big cat with a triangular head, always wakes up in strangers' beds, each time a new one, and wanders in the twilight in search of Voronenko-graffiti (lol, I'm not sure, sorry), and everywhere drawings of Tamino. The name The City Dreams of Tamino the Cat has many meanings: a dream of what is happening to the cat? The artist's dream of himself? And perhaps even, that the city is dreaming of the cat? Mike Luce creates in his drawings an uncomfortable, but at the same time, an attractive world with not one answer, but it seems that the answer is close and you need only to enter the next street.

Alas, the comic is currently on hiatus, but the author promises that the story of Tamino will soon continue. However, there are still many more and interesting secrets, that have not yet been said. "

This one done with cel-vinyls which just arrived. S-weasel.

EDIT: I never mind constructive criticism. However, nasty, drive-by comments left by anonymous posters will just be deleted and ignored. Thanks.

Colored version of bunny from below.

The 'E' is hard to see. But it's there.

He wants something... blueberry. Quickie done while waiting to get my hairs cut.

Still modeling the bunny based on Donald Duck. It really helps to keep track of the solids and how they work in a more 3D sense.

And one more.

While waiting for paint to dry, I've been working on this character's design. I found some old Donald Duck animation drawings online and tried to re-design this character using more solid masses. Then I drew him in the same poses as some of the Donalds I found. Man, could those guys draw...

This was a half hour aside. I think he wants a cereal to advertise. I'm almost sure of it.

Three paintings from the portrait series I've been working on, these in their final, acrylic form. And a couple of inked drawings done for fun and practice.

A little something done while taking a breather between paintings. Based heavily on a Huckleberry Hound title card so I could get the aesthetic down.
