Rampage Babies

Growing up in the 80s and playing arcade games on my Commodore 64, Rampage was definitely one of top 5 video games of my childhood. So when I saw there would be a modern movie version (2018, with Dwayne Johnson), I was a little bit sceptic, but all in all it was fun, especially if you like kaiju movies. The whole gang was there, although they changed them a little bit, as well as their origin story.

In the movie version, George isn't an ordinary gorilla, but an albino gorilla (I guess to avoid comparisons with King Kong), Lizzie isn't a lizard, but a crocodile (also I guess to avoid comparisons with Godzilla), but Ralph remains a wolf, and Larry (although in a very small role) is a rat like in the original. Everyone except George also has "secondary mutations", but I don't want to spoil the move in case you'd like to watch it.

As for the illustration, here I go again with my "silly animal style". They're based on the movie versions rather than the original video game and I drew them as harmless babies, playing with LEGO bricks, building a city and later destroying it, of course. 😝

Area 51

This "Lion King"-esque scene is my contribution and reaction to that funny trending Facebook event for storming Area 51 in Nevada this year. It's scheduled for September 20th early morning at 03:00 and many artists illustrate their try to save aliens that are supposedly kept there. 😂

So this is me, saving a little alien and imitating that famous scene with Rafiki and Simba. There's also an alternative version with the fence and stuff, which was supposed to be the original version, but then I fell in love with the idea of standing on the iconic rock from the movie and giving the little guy back to his family in the spaceship, with transporter beams instead of usual sun beams. That's why shadows don't match the light source, but I already spent too much time with this illustration and just decided to leave it as it is.

Here's that alternative version:

And here's the basic version:

If you haven't seen the movie Night Monkey: Away From House, don't miss the opportunity while it's still in the cinemas. I highly recommend it! 👍

ZOOccupations: Baker / Octopus

This is my third illustration for my #zooccupations project. The Random Generator in Jazza's Arty Games application by @drawwithjazza (with 100 animals and 60 jobs I put in the generator) this time chose "OCTOPUS" and "BAKER". As usual, the challenge is to draw it traditionally, using watercolour pencils, a black liner and a white ink pen for some details.

Unfortunately, I used a different type of paper than before and it seems that this one doesn't handle too much water so well, so blending some parts became a little bit tricky. The other thing is my new 0.2 fineliner, which is still too thick for my taste, but I had problems with 0.1 during finelining the second illustration, so I had to change it and I'm not very happy about it. And there's also the thing about eyes. I don't have a distinctive style and I wasn't sure how this project would progress, but I guess they'll all have lines for eyebrows and mouths and little black ovals with two white dots for eyes in my future illustrations.

DIY Spider-Man Badge

Another DIY badge/pin for another movie premiere! Yep - obviously - it's Spider-Man: Far From Home!

OK, this version of the logo may not belong to Tom Holland's Spidey, but I really like this design. Again, I used foam rubber (black and red), glue (B-6000) and a metal pin. I thought I'd have enough time to make more and with other colour variations, but cutting out the spider turned out to be too complicated and took too much time. Anyway, looking forward to seeing the movie tonight! 😊 🕸 🕷
