Multi-Eyed Mutant Chicken

| Uncle Skuby

So as I had a little time to myself this March, I decided to take one of my drawings and turn it into an animation. But! I took it a step further. Due to my lack of Adobe After Effects on my computer, I tried to use an OLD version of Adobe Flash CS5 to create this animation… God I need a copy of After Effects 😦

I sketched out this guy bored one day on this private beach on Long Island:

Then I digitally painted this on my Wacom Intuos Pro tablet in Autodesk’s SketchBook Express:

Last I created some clouds in Affinity Designer and animated this guy in Adobe Flash, I think I messed up in rendering somewhere – might need to look that up, but it came out okay for my testing:

I’m sure if you’ve been on the internet recently you have heard about this iOS game called Monument Valley by ustwo.  This game features beautifully designed illustrations of impossible structures, that are reminiscent of the artist M.C. Escher’s work.  You play as a lost princes wandering through these structures to find a way out.  This game is beautifully designed anyone with an interest in art or design should play this game!

The Muckraker’s Punk Sticker | Digital Illustration via Wacom Tablet | By Evan Munoz

| Uncle Skuby

I recently got a Wacom tablet this passed holiday season and instantly fell in love with this device!  If you haven’t tried one of these guys, you need to ASAP! As you can see from in my gallery I do a lot of work for The Muckrakers for my brother.  When I think of Punk Rock I think of grunge, and dirt. So I used dirty paper textures in the background to give it that feel.

Let me know what you think in the comments below.

Insane Illustrations! When I say INSANE! I mean INSANE!!! | by Jason Heuser

| Uncle Skuby

I think i speak for everyone when I say, we all love concept art!  But when you think of concept art, you think of video game characters or fictional movie characters like aliens or monsters.  For Jason Heuser he imagines the Presidents of the United States!  That’s right the Presidents in crazy, insane, ridiculous scenarios!!! Some of these literally had me cracking up and laughing out loud at my desk this morning, especially the Ben Franklin VS. Zeus!!!

  If you’re like me and were spitting up your coffee out of uncontrollable laughter, you can see the rest by clicking the link below:
