I'm loving the smooth skeletal gentleman and the techno-beehived dame; something tells me they'd have some stimulating love-hate chemistry, all dry wit and innuendo

The composition here is also really quite fantastic

You got it dead on.

I may have based them all off of classic comics, sci-fi and basically a bunch of stuff that's already been done but I've given them fairly unique personalities that hopefully I'll have a chance to flesh out someday.

This is just all kinds of awesome.
Especially the little fella at the front. Reminds me of me as a child.

duno if you ever watched or read the Tick, but there was a hilarious group of bad guys called the idea men who went around in helmets that meant you couldn't understand them... plus a blimp with a lightbulb on the side! great villians, interested in whether the little dude at the front of your pic is actually the brains of the operation?

I love the Tick!
I remember the Idea Men (apparently couldn't remember there names however) from the first episode... now I'm going to have to check if hey were in the comic.

There is no one brain of the operations, they're all "the Brains"!

InAbsentia In reply to KidNotorious [2010-04-11 03:42:02 +0000 UTC]

Maybe that's it... hmm... it's like the composition reminds me of a book cover. Now I'll be on the look out for something similar at work tomorrow.

On another note: FFffffffkjdfgshigkkk D: Shooooot meeee because this damned drawing is driving me to foam at the mouth. I should not try to ever again draw this smug bastard, because he is male, and highly racially ambiguous (which shows in his godforsaken bone structure), and ridiculously handsome for it. From now on, I leave the drawings of attractive men to the professionals. Because I BLOW at it. /rant

Apologies for the word vomit.

PS: I really do love/admire your awesome skills with drawing different types of characters. This is a good piece to showcase that.

It's one of the Tesla's... but not the one you're thinking about.

This one was a bit accident proned and now he's just a brain in a bulb.
