Mikero's Artflows

[Mikero]

Yes, Silver Snail. But they're at hobby shops and stuff too.

Apparently Sculpey Modeling Clay is very good for binding to them.

The current gen of full size Munny can come with ninja stars. >:-(
My Mini Munny came with glasses (I'm not a big fat nerdstick so I don't need them at all).

[ASR]

Also thought about the full size glow-in-the-dark one, to make all those lights glow.

That would be really #####ing awesome. With glowing lights on the head? Man. That would be great.

[Mikero]

And the forearms. You guys always forget those forearms. Maybe next time, so I can have a bigger Mikero toy. Truth be told, I almost bought the Mini Munny Mobile but I figured I had no need for a Mikero-mobile since he drives a motorcycle when need be. Now if they made a Mini Munny Moto...

Anyway. Some hands for now while I colour things...

[preventerWIND]

It's probably just me, but the bottom right hand with the palm out looks odd to me. Other than that, the rest are great, I love your style man.

[Mikero]

It's the 3D/lack of on the thumb. It's weird.

I looked at other artists' hand work as well as live stuff this time.

[ASR]

Hands are where I need the most work. It would do me well to practice drawing hands more often.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Chop the ears off.

[Fatso]

You seem to have misread the flow of the discussion, Sano.

That, or page breaks hate you.

[Mikero]

He's talking about Van Gogh.

But that's a played fashion, Sanz. This year it's all about removing your eyelids.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Wow... I am late and stuff...
Sorry...

[Chron]

Good hands. It's a cartoony style, but it works.

Looking at my own hand, the bottom right one Wind is talking about has a bulge opposite the thumb that looks too big, but then I think that given this is a exaggerated style AND not all hands look like mine, it's well within limits.

[Mikero]

Yeah I went for stylized with these, I didn't have a model around or anything and haven't felt like going to life drawing since April so trying to go with realism wouldn't have worked out anyway. This was just a bit of practice. I think it was barely 15-30 minutes work, really.

And no, I'm not gonna Van Gogh my Munny, Sano.

It's a groovy night and I can show you how to use it.

[Johncarllos]

No chain between the sticks?

[ASR]

That's beautiful, man. Where did the original picture of... wherever... come from?

Anyway, I really like it. A lot. And this is coming from someone who hates the color blue.

[Mikero]

Fanks bros!

No chain between the sticks?

They are not nun-chucks.

They are rattan, used in Eskrima (alt. Escrima, esgrima), a Filipino martial art that is mostly based on handheld weapons, strikes and changing ranges. So small blades, sticks, sometimes shields, nunchakku, and whips. Actual combat changes immensely when the distance between two fighters changes. The most common weapon in Eskrima is the rattan stick.

Otherwise there would be two cylinders in each hand.

That's beautiful, man. Where did the original picture of... wherever... come from?

Composite. I created a Mikeropia city by combining skylines from Chicago, Seattle, LA (Santa Monica Pier), Sydney (Australia, not boring Nova Scotia), Sao Paulo (Octavio Frias de Oliveira bridge) and I think a bit of New York City but it might have gotten taken out.

Based off a killer Nightwing image.

[preventerWIND]

Very cool. That's all I'm gonna say, I'm tired as #####...

[Mikero]

I'm waiting for someone to notice what's missing.

[ASR]

Scarf.

Or, you know, a presence of awesome manliness. You pansy.

[Mikero]

Scarf. I didn't want to sacrifice the entire silhouette for it, and the character can change costumes equipment when the need arises. Otherwise he'd be a pretty awful ninja.

The manliness isn't missing, you're just day wet dreaming about me again.

Try your best to make it matter, tattoo it in the clouds above you.
Nail it down with jealous bones, 'til it goes like a feather off on it's own.


BIG
FAT
BAD
ASS
! ! !

[ASR]

Sooooooo awesome, man. Sooooo awesome. Love it.

[NovaMan XP]

I love the way it looks...

... I can't say anything else without sounding exactly like ASR.

[Mikero]

I was sitting and was about to go to bed on saturday or something and then I was just like "I want to draw the most badasstest fatass superhero. Like a big fat badass..." and then I just went with it.

[ASR]

I had this idea a while back to called Kung-Fu-Custodian, which was basically just a really fat lardo janitor who knew Kung-Fu and saved the school a lot.

He evolved into Ninjanitor and became a side character in that stupid "This School Sucks" comic I did and never finished.

But yeah, fat people fighting crime is awesome.

[Mikero]

Kung-Fu-Custodian/Ninjanitor sounds wicked and should be friends with Big Fat Bad Ass !!! (yes the exclamation points are necessary... maybe) and they should do an old fashioned Team-Up.

My friend Robbie already coined the named the name for BFBA's rival/arch-nemesis though; Big Bad Fat Ass.

Watch out for--at least one--more BFBA in the near future.

... my favourite part of him is that his logo is just "No."

[Majikn]

"What's his name again? Big Bad Fatass?"

"Big. Fat. Badass. Thank you."

[Mikero]

See the actual guy is more badass than he is fat. The name Big Bad Fat Ass implies more fat than Big Fat Bad Ass, so clearly it's another guy.

But this is what he said; "I read it as Big Bad Fat Ass!" on my art blog. Then I had to decide that would be a character but it sounds funny too.

[ASR]

I actually laughed when I saw his shirt. I was just like "...no what?"

[Mikero]

Just "No."

It's a good M-O. Or N-O, kna' mean?!

[ASR]

Knamean.

[Fatso]

"ZOMBIE PIRATES HAVE KIDNAPPED THE PRESIDENT!"

"No."

[Mikero]

More like;

"ZOMBIE PIRATES HAVE KIDNA--"

"No. I don't care. Shut up."
Ch-ch-ch-chow! (That's the sound of someone flying away)

[Majikn]

Who said that on your art blog now? Art blog? What?

I was thinking the similarly, though, about "Big Bad Fatass" being another character.

[Mikero]

mikecollymore.blogspot.com, and it's usually updated first.

Anyway.

AARTVARK DOODLE BREAK!

[ASR]

HE IS LACKING MANDATORY EXAGGERATED BELLY BUTTON

[Mikero]

This is a promo for a comic project I was gonna do here in the fall. Didn't happen. I planned out about eight out of the ten short comics, though, and have them all listed in my sketchbook along with reminders of what goes on in them so I won't forget. I just don't have to time to art this, even though I really like it.

[Johncarllos]

I love it an can see nothing wrong with it.

[Shawn]

It's nice to see one of them is showing their lips.

[ASR]

I know you're actually really busy all the time, but you should definitely do yourself a favor and make just one comic with this premise.

I'm sure it's something you'd love to do and complete, and if you could find time to actually get it done, it might even be therapeutic in a sense, for your creativity and flow.

That, and it's #####ing awesome.

But yeah, I know you always talk about how busy you are, so if you truly can't do it, then don't. But if you CAN, at all, then do.

[Mikero]

It started as just one (the first one), and it was for Random MMM Comics! but it evolved (and I never press A) so if it's done at all it HAS to be no less than eight.

I start classes again on like Monday and I'm trying to finish up all my colouring projects before that, so at this point I'd have to outsource the art and I think for what I'm thinking I could only really have Snare or Wind do it. Few would be longer than a PBnJ.

Anyway,

Welcome to the family L to R

Colt - 5 year-old boy; Currently training in taijutsu (unarmed combat); About to start kindergarten.

Michelle - [removed by unkown hacker] year-old woman; Master of the eighteen disciplines, takes pleasure in seishin-teki kyōyō (spiritual refinement), hensōjutsu (disguise/impersonation), and kayakujutsu (pyrotechnics and explosives); Homemaker, professional kunoichi, and olympic-level hot stuff.

Mike - 43 year-old man; Master of the eighteen disciplines, takes pleasure in sui-ren (water training), shurikenjutsu (throwing stars), and bōjutsu (stick/staff fighting and blunt force trauma); Office working suited tool and professional ninja.

Betsy Yae - 15 year-old girl; Trained in intonjutsu (concealment and escape), shinobi-iri (stealth and entering methods), and bōryaku (strategies/tactics), which renders conventional parental boundries moot; Totes hating high school.

If you get the kids' names you get points, but I'll explain them later anyway.

It's nice to see one of them is showing their lips.

It's a family of ninja, what do you want?

[ASR]

Haha, Michael and Michelle. CHEESE.

Just playin', I like it all. Good luck with it, and I still say you should draw it yourself, so wait for a while if you don't have the time.

[Mikero]

The joke is that my ego is so inflated on MMM that I could only marry a girl like myself.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

That's just Mike's way of saying he's always wanted to gender bend Mikero.

[preventerWIND]

Betsy totes has Popeye arms.

[Mikero]

She could pop your head off with two fingers, but it's really just the style.

That's just Mike's way of saying he's always wanted to gender bend Mikero.

No actually. La Femme Mikero was invented years ago.

[preventerWIND]

The styles great, the styles cool, but the forearms stand out like "WOOAAAH"

AND POPPIN' WINDUH'S SKULL OFF WON'T FIX THAT. NOT ONE BIT.

Oh, and the piece is great, Mike.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

That's just Mike's way of saying he's always wanted to gender bend Mikero.

No actually. La Femme Mikero was invented years ago.

Well...
YOU'RE FRENCH!

[Mikero]

Yeah it's a forearmy style. I learned it in the Fore Army. But yeah I don't mind, forearms are coolie oolie oolie o!

That's just Mike's way of saying he's always wanted to gender bend Mikero.

No actually. La Femme Mikero was invented years ago.

Well...
YOU'RE FRENCH!

I'm not, but french girls... They get me all shook up but good, man.

When La Femme Mikero was invented, though, she wasn't La Famme Mikero!
(That's a french pronunciation joke!)

[Captain Sanoguchi]

It's hard to avoid their armpits though.

[preventerWIND]

DON'T PUT IT THERE THEN

[Mikero]

It's hard to avoid their armpits though.

It's pretty easy for me to avoid since they're all in France and 100 years ago.

I have more stuff to put up but... later. Might wait out the rest of the page so feel free to talk about hot girls from or not from France for a bit!
