Character: MoJo JoJo

[ndat]

Im Scared of it, is this a natural response to him? havent seen the show but I asume hes quite scary if not a little to scary, hope its not a kids show :). The drawing you did looks good but there are a bunch of problem areas in the anatomy and coloring that you could fix to give it that nice spiffy finished look :P

Anyhoo great scary monkey man

I agree. Some more proportion work would make this drawing very nice, but then again, it is a stylized version of the 2D flat character.

So to each their own.

The coloring and the ink lines remind me of the 70's-80's cartoons.. Johnny Quest, Herculoids, and (Zantar? - I forget the name of the show. Had an electric lazer sword, female telekinetic, and a furry biped beast friend)

Anyways.. those shows and the old comics from the 50's. Could easily reproduce the drawing into a vintage look so it'll look like those comics.

Hello and thanks for repplying and commenting, I really appreciate your input. :)

Here´s the original MoJo JoJo character, from the Powerpuff Girls show on Cartoon Network :

As you can see, Ndat, this is a show for kids but of course CN´s version is much more adequate for children than mine :) .

I don´t really know those shows you mentioned, Nightfox (I´ve heard of Johnny Quest but never watched it; I don´t think it ever aired up in here).

But I have a great time trying to do reallistic versions of the old cartoons like Mighty Mouse, Atom Ant, Dick Dastardly or Roger Ramjet :) .

Incidentally, these are the Powerpuff Girls:

And this is the version of my PowerpuffGirls I´ve shown in here, a couple of months back:

Thanks for looking :).

The line work on this is good, but your coloring isn't as convincing as it usually is. Are you trying out some new techniques here?

[eliseu gouveia]

Well, it´s just that I didn´t feel very inspired by this piece.
I rushed it a bit on the coloring stage because, to be honest, I didn´t like the color scheme of the character (even though I like him in the cartoon show :) ).

Someone once told me a true artist never appologises for his/her artwork, but truth is I just didn´t give 100% of me here.

Sorry......

A cartoon monkey wearing a dress is funny, a real monkey wearing a dress is something else.... mmm.... which Im not going to get into.

Never heard of Herculoids? You should flip to Cartoon Network late at night. They used to have the old cartoons on late. I think they got rid of some of them though. A shame too. I miss seeing them since I used to watch them on Saturday mornings in the early 80's.

Anyways, maybe you could post the line art and have people do their own colored version?

[eliseu gouveia]

Well, I too grew up watching 70s and 80s cartoons, but I don´t really recall that show; I did a Google search and found a few interesting pics, but if I saw it, it´s probably buried among the endless memories of countless shows I watched in those days :) .

Anyway, doing the lineart and leaving it for other artsist to paint sounds interesting, but how then would I evolve and grow up as a painter myself? :)

Dude... Samurai Jack. :D Get crackin'. :buttrock:

[eliseu gouveia]

Actually, I was thinking about doing a pic about Once Upon A Time... Space (has anyone ever heard about this show? Had a nice theme song sung by Virginia Vee... ).. :)

But I digress. :)
Samurai Jack, you say?
Okay, I´m on it! :)
