LOOKS LIKE IT'S TIME TO OIL UP

Been a while since the last post, huh? Let's have another update, some old things, some new! Shit!


A little bit of oil never hurt nobody.
Some time ago I was challenged by a friend to draw the human equivalent to his cat, Booboo; A sorry sack of lard that always looked like he was on the verge of tears, couldn't meow properly, and pissed at the drop of a hat.
SWING YOUR ARMS, FROM SIDE TO SIDE!

God rest your soul, Captain Lou Albano.

A lil' vignette elaborating on my two most boring characters, Niel and Colleen. My sense of humor is just as highbrow as ever.

Speaking of comics, I've started whipping up some buffer strips for my eventual premier spring semester. Here's the first.
And the second. Old followers might recognize the joke here, it's one of my oldies, distilled into a mere four panels. Lost a bit of fun, but it's all for the greater good.
This was originally just a practice sketch of Niel, but I snuck his wife in at the last second because the page looked empty... And pregnant women happen to be quite good at taking up room. The afterthought kinda completely fucked the sense of space but it still turned out cute enough not to incinerate.
For a short while after its release I was ass-deep in Blazblue, having sold my copy of Street Fighter IV to buy a Sega Saturn and it being the only 360 game I had for a few months. I've come to hate it now, but this still makes me laugh every time I see it kicking around in the oldies folder.

But I'd better stop before I run out of things to throw at you during another one of my dry spells.

Max out!

BASTARD ROLL CALL: CECILIA HSU

Time for an update in the dead of the night, motherfuckers! Tonight's intro is for my newest character, Sissy, whose design immediately reached the plateau of stupidity the first time I ever drew her. That's... A good sign, right?

Circa: 2010
Age: 24
Height: 7'6"
Weight: 144 pounds
Occupation: Scout

Sissy is an alcoholic ninja, and protects a plantation from deadly, highly contaminant zombie shit. But that's a story you'll hear about later.

She grew up with doting Chinese immigrant parents, and was pushed to going Ivy League for mathematics, but instead she sought the life of a vagabond, because she saw Charlie Chaplin pull it off successfully. Sissy ran away from home in Arizona meandered to Mexico. It was there she met her first true friend, Peñor, who was shortly killed in front of her own eyes in a tragic pinata accident. Taking his sombrero, the traumatized vagrant took to the bottle and made a years-long, drunken pilgrimage to the Great Plains, where she found a farm owned by a rich German lunatic. Otto took her in and sheltered her in exchange for cold-blooded zombie murder, and thus, Sissy found her niche in life, killing zombies by day, and sneaking into Otto's mansion by night to drink all his wine and sex his butler.

There's a lot more to her than that, but I don't want to spoil any more fun stuff as the comic she stars in is currently being scripted.

EXPONENT: STOGIES AND CHIHUAHUAS

Another week, another graphic. I can't be arsed to explain, just enjoy the juxtaposition. And no, I don't know where the other half of that chihuahua is. Gruesome.

As an added bonus, a certain Other Max's mysterious dreamlady. Thought she might be fun to eke out in five minutes.

Max out!

EXPONENT: PETE'S ARCADE

Done in a blazing two hours (would've been less time and higher quality if I had my tablet handy), a cover image for the Homecoming special in the Exponent! Go ahead and laugh at how awful it is!

I'VE GOT A POCKETFUL OF MIRACLES

Instead of feeding you all another fistful of oldies while I'm away from the scanner for the weekend, I'll just toss up a handful of disorganized new crap.

Kaiser Sigma had to be the stupidest powersuit of all time

Character concept for an up-and-coming comic about zombies, dirt, and poop

Quick test with brushpen and sepia markers, starring Colleen and her hellspawn

Couple of off-the-cuff portraits of the starring characters in a friend's freshly-finished novel

Cory and Jenny's incredible, handsome-ass space elves

Super-flattering self-portrait for a Comp website assignment

That wraps up tonight's onslaught of garbage. Back to pissing away my long weekend with video games and unproductivity!
